What Happens Next?- Chapter 16

Hey, sorry for the late updates and how short this chapter is but I will try to update once more this weekend. I know this chapter is boring and it's kind of a filler. I need ideas people!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Maximum Ride or anything that sounds too smart. Though I do own the A+ I got on my test yesterday!

Fang's POV:

"Max wake up. Please be alright Max. You know that I wouldn't be able to lead like you… I can't lead the flock, I'm not as strong as you. Please Max, Be alright… Max… " I just hung my head and closed my eyes. I couldn't look at her that way. Her face was sooo pale, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so white, and Iggy is pretty white.

"F…ffang?" It was barely audible. A whisper as light as the wind (I should never be a poet lol) I looked down at Max and her big beautiful eyes were open staring at me with wonder. "Fang, don't worry I'm fine. Don't worry." Max rasped and then lifted a hand up to my cheek. She just barely touched my face when a look of awe crossed her face and she yelled out "Fang Ari is in my head! Fang help me sit up."

So I scooped Max up and set her onto the ground. She wobbled so I wrapped my arms around her waist to keep her from toppling over.

"Max what on earth are you talking about? What about Ari? Are you alright? What happened?" I was starting to sound like Nudge.

"Nudge shut up and I'll tell you. You see, I felt like I had a brain attack but it was different… I don't know how but it didn't feel right. It was Ari ! Yea I know, I thought he was dead too, and I think he is. But he somehow seems to be talking to me from the afterlife sort of like a guardian angel… or guardian brother, whatever. The point is that he wants to help me! He says that he can help me become a better leader but that I need to relive my past. So I'm thinking that once I relive my past I'll become a better leader and we'll destroy ITEX and then we will finally be able to settle down and live normal lives!"

By this time Max was breathless since she was talking so quickly. And she called ME Nudge.

"Can we even trust Ari? Listen I think you need to get to bed. It's late and we have to get up early and finish making plans to rescue the 'avian unit' from some school. We will talk about this tomorrow morning okay? Here get into bed" I lifted up the covers on her bed and gently nudged her towards her bed. Max crawled into bed and I pulled the covers up around her.

"I'm usually the one that tucks everyone in, and now I'm getting tucked in," Max joked but I could tell it meant something to her to be taken care of instead of being the caregiver.

"Sleep well Max," with that I gently kissed her forehead and walked out of her room. Going to my own room because I had a lot of thinking to do.

Boring I know.
