CHAPTER THREE
A/N: Thanks 4 reviewing, everybody. I'll try at update as much as possible, but I do have school and other stuff. Tell me if you like what happens in this chapter!
MAX'S P.O.V.
I stare out into the dark seamless night, trying to figure it out. Flock or Flyboy? My mind is racing. Then, all of a sudden, he/she/it comes close enough and I see who it is. Dark hair. Dark eyes. I lift my head up to meet his eyes, and one word slips out.
"Fang."
He smiles his dark crooked smile, and the whole night is lit up.
"Hey." he says quietely.
"Hi." I respond.
Aaaaakkkwaaaarrrd.
He scratches his head. "Angel..." he sputters."Angel told me what you... felt."
I stare at him, hard.
"What I felt? Do tell."
"She said... you feel the same way I do. Maybe even more."
Oh god. Angel knew. Angel had read my mind, and told Fang. She's totally grounded.
FANG'S P.O.V.
Max bites her lip.
"Well.. umm..." she stumbles over the words. Then she reaches out to me. "Fang, I-"
All of a sudden, her eyes roll back in her head, she folds her wings and drops. Fast.
I react quickely, but she's dropping like a stone. Why?
As I fly-fall, I realize I'm not alone. Angel is beside me, flying fast and hard like me.
"ANGEL!" I shout. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
"I READ A FLYBOY PROGRAMING CHIP (that's basically a Flyboy's brain) AND THEY SHOCKED HER WITH A NANO-SHOCK BULLET, THEY ARE TRYING TO KIDNAP HER!!"
The colour drains from my face. I speed up. Finally, I'm under Max. I grab her and shoot up, past Angel.
"Hurry up!" I call to her behind my shoulder. Max is unmoving within my arms.
No no no no no no!!
"Don't die on me Max! Come on!" I shout, flying back towards the house, towards safety.
Oh, man. I loved her so much. Maximum Ride was the most beautiful, strong, loving, hardcore person I ever knew. And I couldn't lose her.
Then, very slightely, she moves. She starts waking up, very gradually. Then she opens her eyes and looks at me. Yes!
Time seemed to stop. I didn't need to see where I was going, all I needed to see was Max. She seemed to strengthen, and sat up in my arms, wrapping hers around my neck.
"Fang," she whispered. "What happened?
"Nothing, Max. It's all better. It's all better now, I promise." Max smiled and buried her face in my collarbone, like a little baby. It was almost... perfect. I could hear Angel behind me, flapping her wings and- screaming?
"We will destroy you." The Flyboys had caught up to us, and had Angel! I wheeled around to face them.
Crap. More Flyboys then I had ever seen before flew above me. And before I could do anything, two of them dive-bombed us and delived a hard punch to my face. I almost let go of Max. I could feel the blood streaming from my nose. I back-peddled to give us a few moments safety. But then-
"Fang." Max looked up at me, and I had the feeling she was going to do something big.
"I love you," she whispered and dropped out of my arms, down, down, into the dark air below me.
