Chapter 12:

Blair POV:

I woke up once again, later than everyone else. The sun had already risen and I was the only one still in the cave. As I sat up to go and see where everyone was, Henry, my little brother, walked in. Through our minds he said suddenly,

Why did you have to be mean to Max? She's under a lot of pressure as it is. And now the rest of her flock is upset!

They were already upset Henry. Nothing I said changed that.

But you were mean. You should've been nicer.

He then turned away from me and walked out of the cave. I didn't like upsetting Henry; I got up and followed him wanting to explain what had happened. When I got outside, to the big clearing near the cave where the flock was relaxing, I noticed Max and Dylan weren't anywhere in sight.

Where Is Max and Dylan? I asked Henry

They're talking, let them be.

So I walked over to some nearby rock and sat down to relax, I was enjoying the silence until Fang came over to me and asked to talk to me alone.

We had walked into the woods when he shot out

"Okay, what did you say to max that has her so torn up this morning?"

"I just talked to her Fang. That's all."

"You had to have done something more than that Blair."

What was he talking about?

"She looked like she was about to cry when she woke up! Whatever you said really upset her!"

"Sorry Fang. I just thought that I was doing the right thing."

"Just tell me what you said."

"I told her that she should be a better leader and to start saving the world. I'm sorry; it's just that she was doing nothing! She needs to get her act together already!"

Fang looked like he wanted to push me off the cliff, wings tied down. I'm serious. He was so mad.

"I don't want you talking to her anymore."

I must have really pissed him off. I didn't mean to, honestly, I don't want to make anyone here upset. I wish I could go back in time and take it all back. Ugh. Why was I so stupid?

Fang turned around and walked back to the flock. I didn't want to follow him; I didn't feel welcome here anymore. But still, because these were the only people I knew. I had no choice but to just grin and bear it and pretend like nothing was wrong.

Max POV:

I had woken up this morning before everyone else. I wanted to get out of the cave before i had to face my flock. It wasn't like me to get so mad and out of control like that. Once I had sat up I tried to move quietly and make my way out, but I ended up kicking Dylan. (It was really dark okay; I'm not usually that clumsy.)

He sat up quickly, and his eyes flashed open. I reached down and covered his mouth before he could start to say anything.

"Go to sleep, I'm just getting some air." I whispered. He pulled my hand off his mouth and whispered back,

"I wanted to talk to you Max. I guess now's the perfect time."

I didn't respond because I wasn't sure of what he wanted to ask me. If it was something like Blair had said, then I'm not so sure I could handle it. But still, I wanted to know so I pointed to the outside of the cave and walked out. I heard him following and when we were a good distance away, so that nobody could hear us I said,

"What is it Dylan?"

"I want to talk about Fang and his new flock." When he said this it reminded me how Fang had left and it broke me down inside.

"I don't want him here. Everything was just fine and we had a plan, but now his new people are causing all of these problems and nothing is going right." He said harshly.

Even though I knew that he had a point, I didn't want to tell him i disagreed. And I know I had yelled at Fang before, but now I was starting to feel bad.

"Oh. Well Dylan, see, it's just that…"

"But you want him gone too Max, don't you? You were yelling at him and that Blair girl was so mean to you."

She had been pretty mean, but now thinking back on it so had I to Fang. I shouldn't have said that stuff. He had risked his life to save me. I now had to convince Dylan that keeping them here was a good idea.

"Dylan, I just think that with us having to fight Itex and stuff it would help to have more numbers on our side. I'm pretty sure they're all good fighters."

"Don't lie to me Max. I know you want him here still. Just tell me why."

"Because he saved my life and I owe him an apology for yelling at him!"

"Oh yeah, that's just so realistic Max. Because when he leaves after you apologize you won't care at all, will you?"

"Don't be sarcastic right now Dylan."

"How can I not? He just left you and now you're thinking of forgiving him again? Seriously, how many times has this been now? Three? Four?"

"Why should you care? This doesn't even matter to you!"

"It just does, Max."

"Why? Because I'm supposed to be your perfect half or something? I don't know who told you that, but they're wrong."

"Fang left you Max. You're not supposed to love him anymore. You're supposed to want me."

"That's just a load of bull Dylan."

"I know that you love me too Max. They designed me for that reason only."

"I don't love you Dylan, this is not my heart. Fang took it with him when he left me and he still has it. And Dylan if you ever piss me off like this again, I swear, you won't have a spot in this flock anymore."

I stomped back to the cave, trying to dodge trees and branches as I stormed through the woods. I reached the small clearing right outside the cave and saw my flock sitting there. No doubt that they had heard us.

Iggy POV:

I had woken up this morning when I heard Max shouting outside the cave. Well, to me it sounded like yelling because of my ears, but to everyone else it must have sounded a lot less.

I tried to sit up but woke up 3 people in the process. Fang, Gazzy and Nudge all opened their eyes, looking very annoyed.

"What Iggy?" Nudge asked.

"Just listen. Listen real close."

I could tell that they all could hear Max and Dylan talking. I heard Nudge sit up straighter. Gazzy sounded upset, while I heard Fang stand up and hurry out of the cave.

We followed him outside, Angel now woken up also. He was standing in that clearing very quiet, like he was listening. When I heard him turn back around to face us he said

"Let's not worry about them right now. Just wait for Max to get back."

We followed his orders and all found a place to sit and relax. But I was still pretty sure that no one was relaxing. It's hard to be calm whenever Max is upset like this.

Fang POV:

I woke up to Iggy's foot being shoved in my face. Very annoyed I sat up on my elbow, pushing him out of my way. I saw that I wasn't the only one to be awakened by Iggy this morning.

"What Iggy?" I heard Nudge ask half asleep.

"Just listen. Listen real close." When he first said this I thought he heard erasers and sat up quickly, but then realized it was something much different. I could faintly hear, very far away

"Don't lie Max…..just tell me why…"

"He saved my life…..apology…..for yelling at him!"

I had only been able to get small parts of the conversation, but I was able to tell that it was Max and Dylan talking. I stood up and hurried out of the cave to hear what they were saying better.

"Don't be sarcastic…."

"He just left …..forgiving him? How many times has this been now?"

I stopped listening and turned around to my old flock who was watching me intently, waiting for me to say something.

"Let's not worry about them right now. Just wait for Max to get back." I said.

Everyone gladly agreed and tried to calm down and relax, but it wasn't easy, at least not for me. If this had been before I left I would have gladly walked up to Dylan and beat him up, but I couldn't do that now. I felt like I was brand new here, like even though I had known the whole flock since I was a kid, everything just felt different.

A minute or so passed when Blair and Henry walked out of the cave and sat down, not having a clue what was going on. I needed to talk to Blair, hoping that whatever she had said wasn't why Max was so upset this morning.

So please review and tell me what you think...it was a kinda bring chapter towards the end i think, but yeah...idk...just pleeeease review. pretty pretty please?
