Chapter 3

Fang and Iggy stood in the kitchen for a moment before going after Max. They caught up with her easily. Fang grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the apartment. "No!" Max screamed. "Shut up. There are people in those apartments. They're going to here you." Fang closed the door and stood with his back to it so Max would have no chance of escape. "Let me go." Max growled at them. She glared and looked truly frightening. "No, you'll just go back and tell the flock."Fang was trying to figure out what they were going to do. The flock couldn't know. Watching Max freak out was funny but if she told everyone, they were bound to be mad. "No duh asshole!" Max hit him once and prepared to strike again but he grabbed her wrists and pinned her to the wall. "Let go! Let go! Get off me!" She tried to rip her arms free but Fang was stronger than her and his grip only tightened. "Max, if you would just calm down and let us explain everything to you, then we would let you go." Iggy said in a quiet voice. "No! Just shut up and let go of me!" She glared at Fang but he didn't flinch. Max screamed and struggled more before letting her arms go limp. She brought her knee up as hard as she could and hit Fang in the stomach. He grunted and his grip loosened. Max pulled her arms free and kicked Fang hard in the ribs so he fell. She then ran from the room.

Fang winced as he sat up. He held his side willing the pain to go away. For the past year that side had been sensitive, ever sense Dylan had beaten him. "Fang are you ok?" Iggy knelt down next to him. "Yeah." Fang leaned against Iggy resting his head on Iggy's shoulder. "She hit your bad side, didn't she?" Iggy asked and felt Fang nod his head. Iggy sighed and sat there letting Fang rest on him while his pain gradually went away. "What are we going to do?" Fang whispered. "I don't know. But we'll be ok." Iggy put his arms around Fang hoping to reassure him.

Max landed in front of the house and ran through the door. Dylan looked up from his game, "What's wrong?" They all turned to her now waiting for an answer. "I went to check up on Fang and Iggy." Max stopped there wondering how they would react. "And why are you freaking out?" Jeb asked from the other side of the room. "They were kissing!" everyone in the room gave her a wtf look. "What?" Nudge asked, confused. "I went over to their apartment to check up on them and I walk in on them kissing." She flung her arms out in exasperation. Dylan was holding back laughter. "Seriously?" Max nodded. "What do we do Jeb? It's not right. It needs to stop." He didn't seem to have a solution. "What? Since when do you think that kind of thing is bad?" Angel and Max exchanged looks. "It's not right Jeb." Angel said. Dylan smirked. "If you want them apart I have an idea."

Iggy lay in his bed thinking through what had happened today. Fang was asleep curled up next to Iggy using Iggy's chest as a pillow. Iggy had an arm around him feeling his soft breathing. Fang twitched in his sleep and made a small noise. Iggy remembered that Fang had nightmares worse than the rest of the flock, he didn't know what had happened but he knew they could be bad. Fang twitched again and Iggy moved a little so he could wake him up. "Fang." He shook him gently. "Fang wake up."Fang opened his eyes with a small whimper. He looked at Iggy and buried his face in his shoulder. "It's ok. It was just a dream." Iggy held him.

A noise came from the other room and Iggy stiffened. Fang looked up to see what was wrong. "What's the matter Iggy?" He covered Fang's mouth to quiet him. He pushed Iggy's hand away and sat up along with Iggy. They both listened for anymore sounds. There was a louder sound and the door crashed open. Dylan and a man they didn't know stood in the doorway. They both wore wicked grins. "Hey boys long time no see." Dylan said as he tackled Fang to the ground. The other man grabbed Iggy and pinned him easily. "Fang!" Iggy struggled to get free. Fang growled at Dylan and fought the hands that were closing around his neck. Dylan laughed as Fang's struggling became weaker. Black dots appeared in Fang's fission and everything became a blur. He gave up on trying to get free and everything went black. He heard dim voices, "Don't kill him Dylan." He felt the hands leave his neck and his lungs instinctively took in air. His chest burned but he gasped for air and tried to open his eyes. He felt a pinch in his side and moaned as everything went numb. After a while the numbness went away leaving empty blackness, unconsciousness.

Iggy struggled more and more. He couldn't hear Fang anymore which worried him. Iggy felt a pinch in his side and tried to get away from the new hands on him. "Iggy it's ok." Jeb said putting a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him. He felt a wave of tiredness come over him and tried to fight it, losing the battle in the end.

Iggy became aware of voices around him. He recognized the voices belonged to the flock. "Are you sure he's ok with Dylan?" Nudge sounded worried. "He's fine." Max said with a no caring tone. She didn't care what happened to Fang. Iggy opened his eyes and knew he wasn't in his room where he had been last. He knew because he couldn't see at all. His room was all white so he could at least see a little. "Nudge?" He didn't want to ask for Max and he didn't know who all was in the room. "Iggy! You're awake! Are you ok?' he felt her place her hand on his shoulder and shook it off. He sat up and did his best scowl. "Where is Fang?" he asked in a low voice. "Dylan is taking care of him." Max said. Iggy could practically here the grin in her voice. "You know that he's going to hurt Fang!" he wanted to grab her and shake her but he didn't know where she was. "He is?" Max played it innocent. With those last words he could locate her. He reached and grabbed her shoulders and puller her closer. "You know Dylan hurt him before and you defiantly know what he will do it again." Iggy shook her hard and she pulled at his hands trying to make him stop. "Stop." She sounded like he was hurting her and he didn't care. "Let Fang go." She was pulled out of his hands. "He deserves what he gets." Max said angrily.

Fang struggled to get away from the man that was holding him. "It's no use Fang. He's stronger than you." Dylan laughed as he pressed the hot metal to Fang's skin again and again. Fang cried out every time it made contact, tears stung his eyes and stained his cheeks. Dylan put the metal bar down, "I'll be back later to continue." He smiled and walked away. The man released Fang and he collapsed. Fang wished for unconsciousness, for the pain to go away. He lay on the floor, unable to move as tears fell from his eyes.

L.B.: I'm so mean to Fang.

Gazzy: Why are you not helping me clean?

L.B.: You are the one that set a bomb off.
