Chapter 13:

Max POV:

I was standing there in front of my flock, probably looking like a mess. You could tell that they had all been listening to what had just happened. Fang especially looked annoyed. If this had been any other day he would be up and asking me what had happened and what we were going to do about it. Today was not going to be a good day. Certain people were really pissing me off right now and if I had to get all of these one-on-one talks done then I was going to do them now. Just get them all over with and get rid of this awkwardness between everyone.

I angrily walked over to Fang and pulled him up from where he was sitting.

"I have to talk to you Fang, come on. Let's get this over with."

He looked surprised, hardly expecting this. I mean, I hardly expected this either and It wasn't like I had a thought about what I was going to say to him.

We had walked a good distance when i stopped, turned and looked up at him and slowly said,

"Fang... I'm sorry I yelled at you. I shouldn't have done that...it was really stupid of me and well...yeah ... that's what I wanted to tell you."

"You sure that's all Max?"

"...What?"

"Are you sure that's all you wanted to say to me?"

"Umm...yeah. I guess."

He was starting to smirk and not doing his very best to hide it. How was this funny to him? Why was he taking this talk like some kind of joke? As I was glaring at him he exhaled still trying to keep himself from laughing.

Okay. That was it. He wasn't going to make fun of me while I was here apologizing to him.

"Actually NO Fang, that's not all I had to say to you. I want to know what was going through that thick head of yours when you left and why you thought that it would be better for me? I want to know why you think it's so fine to just come here and fit right back in with my flock. You really hurt me when you left and now you're here laughing at me. Is this some kind of joke to you Fang? So please, talk. Let me know what's going through your head right now."

While I had let out that rant he had stopped smiling and went from staring at the ground to looking right at me.

"Your right Max I shouldn't be laughing, but..."

"But what?"

"You're apologizing to me. And this makes absolutely no sense because I'm the one who left. That's why I'm laughing. If anything it should be me, on my knees, begging for your forgiveness."

"Feel free to get on the ground, but I didn't call you out here to listen to you beg. I just want to know what you were thinking that day you left and why you think it's okay to be here right now."

"I had a target on my back and leaving the flock kept you and everyone else safe. It was smart."

"Are you kidding me? I was kidnapped while you were gone!"

"And I saved you! Why can't you see that I'm here for you now? I came back for you."

"But you left before and I don't know if it because of Dylan, or Itex or what but you left me again."

"I didn't leave because of Dylan." Fang looked very angry that I had said that.

"I wanted you to stay and fight for me. Not just give up."

"And I would've Max, but staying put you in danger. I wasn't willing to risk your life for some stupid pride competition. Proving myself or whatever wasn't worth your safety. Alright? So just stop thinking that I ditched you because -"

"Fang, I -" I tried to say something but he kept talking.

"Just let me finish okay! Just let me tell you that I made a mistake and that every second I was gone, I wanted to come back, I really did. You have no idea how terrible I felt Max, really. So just hear me out, just let me explain that I'm sorry and that I miss you so much. Every day was hell. And I want to change what I did, i hate myself for it, I miss everyone. Just please, forgive me. I don't know what to do if you don't. I'm pretty sure I'm probably the worst person in the world to you and you had a hundred excuses to hit me and I deserved it and -"

He wouldn't stop talking, which was very unlike him. He was getting annoying. I couldn't listen to it anymore, he really needed to stop.

And so completely out of nowhere I reached up grabbed his face and pulled him down. I pressed my lips against his making him stop rambling on and on. I felt him smile and when I let go I looked up at him, right into his eyes. He was grinning like a fool. I whispered,

"Just don't talk okay?"

"Max, I – "

"Shut up and you get to kiss me again."

He immediately was quiet and I pulled him to me once more.

Angel POV:

Max had pulled Fang into the woods to talk or something. I tried to figure out what she was thinking, but honestly, she had no idea what she was doing either. Not really caring at the moment I got up and walked off, trying to find someplace where I could be alone for a while. I found a comfortable little area right near a cliff edge and laid down trying to rest.

The woods had gone quiet even though it was the middle of the day. And that's when I heard it, Dr. Gunther-Hagen, he was talking to me again. In my head.

At least I was pretty sure it was him. It all started when I met him in Africa. Although it could still easily be Itex or someone else.

Angel, I need your help.

What?

I need Blair, the new girl in your flock.

Why would you want her? She isn't even important.

She is a rare kind of breed although she may not know it. If you help me Angel I will promise to never cause your flock problems again.

Why should I believe you? Last time you said Fang would die and that ruined everything.

I know you don't like Blair and the trouble she's causing for all of you, that is why I don't think this should be a problem for you.

I don't know Dr. Gunther-Hagen. How am I supposed to even get her to you.

However you can Angel, and if you don't then I may just have to steal another one of your flock to make up for it.

I really dont like this chapter...feels too cliche, but i had to have max and fang back together to keep the story moving along... and just something random to end this with but i just looked outside my bedroom window and theres like 5 inches of snow the day after christmas...:DDDDDDD yay. hahha alrighty then...bybye
