Hey, thank you reviewers, you are all totally awesome! Everyone gets a cyber cookie! I am breaking my record and writing two, possibly three chapters in one day! So keep checking in, you never know if another chapter will pop up! Also, more people need to tell me about the Niggy thing! (Sorry to any Eggy fans but it isn't going to be in this story!) So here is the next chapter! Enjoy

I do not own Maximum Ride (yet, JK!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max's POV

"Max, Max can you hear me?"

A voice called my name. I tried to open my eyes to find its source but they felt like they were being weighed down by a ton of bricks. My attempts to open them were feeble at first, but they were starting to have more effect.

Almost there, almost there…YES!

My eyelids dragged open. I scanned the space I was in, trying to take in every miniscule detail of where I was. The surface I was lying on was soft and comfortable.

Someone's holding me… oh yeah its Fang

Fang was cradling me in his arms. The thoughts that passed through my head made me dizzy.

Who is taking care of the rest of the flock? What happened to me? Where are we? When did I fall unconscious? Why is Fang holding me?

"Fang?" I wanted to bombard him with questions, but all my energy was going into staying awake.

"Yeah Max, I'm right here, everything is alright now." Fang set my feet on the ground. I tried to walk out of the cave to see where the rest of the flock was but suddenly the ground was flying towards my face. An arm snaked around my waist, preventing me from falling. Fang picked me up bridal style. I wrapped my arms around his neck and snuggled into the warmth of his chest. It had taken me a while but I realized that I was really cold. His breathing set a steady rhythm; though I thought I heard him chuckle.

His voice brought you back.

Ah, voice long time no hear! What's up!

His voice is what brought you back from the dead.

Every moment from the past three hours flooded back to me. Ari attacking me, the light dragging me away from the darkness, the living glow stick kissing me (EWWWW,) and my guardian angel saying it loved me.

Fang saved me!

"You were my guardian angel!" He told me he loved me!

"What?" I looked at his face and saw the confusion in his eyes.

"You were the one that said I love you, weren't you?" I gave him a look that dared him to lie. He just stared at me with the same eyes a deer in the headlights would have. His eyes left my gaze as he stared down, blushing.

Oh my god, Fang just blushed! It's true; he did say he loved me!

My breath caught in my throat. I had waited for so long, hoping he would say those words. I leaned forward, trying to prepare myself for what I was about to do. His lips were an inch away from mine.

"Fang," I breathed. He looked up, and surprise filled his eyes when he saw how close we were to each other.

"Yes Max?" He sounded nervous.

"You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that," I whispered. I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his. My world exploded, everything in my mind was blown away. He started kissing me back with a strength I didn't know he had in him. All I could think about was him, his mysterious eyes, his strong arms, his perfect lips. For once in my life, I felt like I was a whole being; Fang was my other half.

He sees past the wings and freaky eating habits; he sees me for who I really am, Max, not the girl who will save the world, but the teenage girl who wants to be loved.

I pulled back to breathe. I noticed that somehow we ended up on the floor again.

God, I'm completely out of it when I'm with him.

Everything from that day started to take its toll. My eyelids started to droop, I stared at Fang; he was watching me with knowing eyes.

"Sleep for a little while, I'll take first watch." I smiled at him then rested my head on his chest. His steady breathing was quickly lulling me to sleep. I held him close, knowing that with him I was safe.

Good night my guardian angel.

I drifted of into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of flying again with the flock, holding Fang's hand the whole time. Everyone was happy, the world was safe; we were free to live the life we always wanted now. No one from the school chased us anymore. It was a care free world, but like I said, I was dreaming; it would have been too easy to have been able to be free. That is the main word in this situation; free. I have a feeling waking up to find yourself bound from head to foot is not exactly what I would call free. So here we go again, the real world and the school interfering in our lives. Were surrounded by Flyboys and Fang is unconscious on the floor to my right, his hands and feet bound like mine.

"Hello Maxi!" This was not good.

Hey guys I hope you liked it, it took a lot of time to try and think of a way for them to get captured, so if you don't understand the last paragraph, its just describing Max waking up to find that she and Fang are surrounded and in big trouble! So please review this chapter and I need up to ten votes on whether or not I should put Niggy in my story. Let me know, drop a line or two, give me your point of view. I just might add it into the story!!! Thanks for reading and I hope you press the little green button at the bottom of the page!!!!!!!

Love
