Chapter 6

FAX…..sorta (yea I know it's not a word really) I really didn't want to overdo it.

Fang's POV:

My side was on fire, my head was throbbing. I was in such pain that my clothes even felt like they weighed five tons. My breath came in ragged huffs. I felt like an elephant decided to use me as a dance floor. Owww…. My side was burning, I slightly shifted my body and it felt like a million red hot needles just attacked my side.

What is wrong with me? That's when I remembered the fight and that dummy Sam. He had hurt my side. I hope that I injured him enough so that he would remember me.

I vaguely felt someone clutching my hand and soft murmuring… it was a very nice voice; sort of soft and as rich as honey. I know that voice… Max??? Yea that is definitely Max. My whole body seemed engulfed in fire but my hand was the hottest part of me, and the most comfortable. Wow my pillow is so soft and nice… wait I think that my head is resting in Max's lap. What am I doing with my head resting on Max's lap? Just when I thought that today couldn't get stranger.

I tried to ignore the pain and focus on what Max was saying. I caught only bits and pieces since my head was swimming and I was fighting a losing battle just trying to stay conscious. "…please God, don't let him die. Not him, you know that I need him…always there….flock needs dad….please…I need….love….all…heart…" I couldn't understand everything but from what I understand, Max thinks I'm dying. I didn't think that she would be this affected by me getting a slight injury. Okay so maybe it wasn't that slight but it wasn't life threatening… I hope.

Flashes from the last time I got hurt came to me… on the beach the first time Max kissed me and then again when Max had to give me blood. Oh hey, I have Max's blood don't I? Way cool… okay what is wrong with me. I guess that I have a fever or something because I'm not acting like myself.

I tried to move again, all I could do was twitch my fingers but it was enough. I heard Max's sharp intake of breath. I felt her pressing against me as she leaned over me to get something. When she pulled back I felt something cool and wet touch my forehead and neck. God that felt really nice. "Fang are you okay?" I couldn't reply to Max's question. I tried to but all that would come forth was an odd rasping sound. Max leaned over me once more and got something. She very gently propped my head up and I felt something against my lips. No it was not Max's lips. (You wish, well I wish too) It was a water bottle and I was extremely glad to see it. Max slowly let me drink water, sip by sip as not to overwhelm my stomach. Once I had finished two and a half bottles I didn't want more. I tried talking again, this time I at least made some sort of sense "…I'm Kay…how's fl….oooo...ck?"

I felt really weak and I almost didn't hear her response. "I'm so glad to see you are okay. The flock is fine, everyone is fine except you. You had me scared Fang. I thought you were going to die. There was so much blood. Don't you ever dare to do that again or you are dead. You promised never to leave me again and don't you break that promise."

I felt Max lower me down upon her lap once more. I didn't think that she would feel so strongly about this. Max slowly shifted beneath me, I didn't want to but I felt a sharp pain and hissed. Max got a horrified look on her face at hurting me. "I'm okay, don't worry." At least I could talk like a normal person again. "Fang go to sleep please. You need rest to recuperate." I slowly felt myself slipping away into darkness. No, I wanted to stay here with Max. I didn't want to go…that's when all thought left me and I fell into a deep slumber.

Max's POV:

Oh my god! Fang is okay, he is okay. Thank god, I'm so relieved. I leaned back against a tree and looked down at him. He looked so so… I don't know how to describe it. He looked relaxed I suppose. He wasn't wearing his usual frown and I've got to admit it made him look more approachable. I gently ran my fingers through his hair; I tried not to wake him. He has some great hair. Did I ever mention that? Well he does, it's so soft and thick. Okay where did that come from? Okay he has great hair, why do I care? (lol I rhymed)

Fang murmured something and my gaze was drawn to his lips. Those nice lips, I still remember how great they felt on my own back at that cave. Girl, snap out of it. This is not the time! Look at him! He is so pale and he looks weak. This most certainly is not the time at all. I hope that he isn't in much pain though. I continued running my fingers through his hair, it was reassuring somehow. I closed my eyes and listened to the flock's breathing. I heard a rustle and looked around; oh it's just that bird Light looking at me. We made eye contact and he flew over to me. "How is he fairing?" Light asked me.

"Well, I suppose, he woke up a while ago but he went back to sleep." Wow thanks for stating the obvious Max. Any idiot can see that he went back to sleep.

"We should stay a while until this one gets better, but we then have to leave right away and go to our headquarters. Our leader wants to meet you soon." Light explained.

"Yea that's great and everything, but I have to ask you something. How did you do that before? You know with the flyboys?" I was really curious about it.

"What is a flyboy?" Oh I had forgotten that Gazzy made that up. (I think it was Gazzy, if I'm wrong sorry)

"A flyboy is what that wolf thing is that attacked us. They are like the erasers except these are actually robots." Okay now he should understand me.

"Oh, I don't know how. I just wanted them all to die and leave us alone as they did." Light said acting like it was nothing. Light slowly flew back to the branch he was on before and he promptly fell asleep. Come he just made all the flyboys go bye-bye in two seconds. Even Angel couldn't have been able to take down so many at the same time.

Iggy slowly got up from where he was resting. He came over and whispered in my ear that he was going to take watch. Good because I was tired, worrying can do that to someone. I fell asleep listening to the flocks breathing and still holding Fang's warm hand in my own. I'm really lucky that I have such a great family, was the last thought that came to my mind before I slowly slipped into darkness.

Anonymous POV:

"Has Light reached the flock yet?" a voice asked.

"Yes sir, he has. However one of them has gotten hurt from an enemy's attack. Their arrival will be later than we had planned." A second voice answered.

"I just hope that they arrive soon, I have things planned for them and I can't do anything until they actually arrive. Which one of them got hurt? Not Max I hope."

"No sir, she is fine. It was the other one; I think his name is Fang."

"Is Fang going to live?" the first voice questioned?"

"We think so sir. Is there anything else I can do for you? Perhaps warm up a bottle?"

"No thank you, I'm fine at the moment," the first voice answered.

The second voice left the room and the first voice was left in silence to think.

Who are the voices? I know but I'm not telling you yet! Did you like it? I know it was just a bunch of Fax but there is some foreshadowing in here that pretty much tells you some important stuff. I had said that I wasn't going to update until I get reviews but I just finished this chapter and had to update. This time however I will not update until I get five more reviews. I know that you can do it! And the story is just starting to get good. I'm going to start introducing some new characters soon and you don't want to miss that now do you?
