-MAX POV-

After about an hour I went down stairs wearing jeans and a t-shirt that had slits cut in the back for my wings to come out. Everyone was already sitting around the kitchen table waiting for me. I gave a weak smile but could already tell they knew something was up.

"Okay what's up, you look like you saw a ghost." Fang said as he studied me.

"Yeah something is wrong with you, and I know that just by glancing at you." Nudge said as she looked me in the eyes.

"Man, you guys know me too well." I said with a little sad chuckle. They for one did not laugh they all just stared at me.

"Spill." Iggy said.

"Fine, okay so you guys know by now that Jeb and Ari wanted me at the school for a reason, not a very good reason but still it's a reason. For starters they wanted to experiment on me I'm guessing that was Jeb's reason, second I was just there for torture that would be Ari's reason. It might be easier if I show you then I'll explain." I slowly unfurled my wings, at first there were no reaction, then once they were completely stretched out Angel gasped, Nudge put her hand over her mouth and looked like she was going to cry, Gazzy's eyes got really big, he told Iggy what they looked like and Iggy started to look worried. As for Fang I had never ever seen him look so mad.

"Oh my gosh." Nudge said in a hushed voice. She had little tears in her eyes.

"Let me explain. One day they brought me into a room, gave me some shots and had me drink a really gross liquid. I later found out what they were for, it was to relax my muscles and make me really weak. Ari put me back into a crate and later came back for me. He threw me over his shoulder then took me outside. They wanted me weak so I could not fly away; he tied my hands and feet to a giant pole in the middle of a courtyard. Ari pulled my wings straight out and put his claws at the tip of my wings. After he dragged his claws down my wings a couple times, to shred all of the feathers he decided to break very single bone I had in my wing. I then escaped in a narrow tunnel and because I could not stretch my wings out all of the way the bones healed funny so that's why they are misshapen." I finished and no one said a word not even Nudge. Until Iggy said…

"Ouch, that sounds like it hurt." We all gave him a No freaking duh look… it had no effect on him.

"Anyways even without being able to see them I can still image what they may look like. I could try to reset the bones."

"I don't know Iggy…" I said as I studied Fang he was looking down and did not bother to bring his head up after I told him the story. "We will talk later, we have all had a busy day… go to bed you guys see ya in the morning." I said as they stood up and walked upstairs. I graved Fangs arm as he stood up and he got the message that it did not mean him. He looked up at me and I gave him a confused look.

"What?" Fang asked sounding a little irritated.

"What do you mean what? I just told you that Ari broke my wings and you said nothing!" I crossed my arms and just stared at Fang.

"What did you expect me to do?" Fang asked as he mimicked me. I shook my head and laughed.

"Well for starters I thought you would know how to mimic me better and second I expected you to say something along the lines of… I'm going to kill Ari, or I don't know something like that!" I said as I put my hands on my hips. Fang gave me one of his amazing half smiles and looped his arms through my arms so his arms were around my waist. He pulled me close to him and I looked up at him.

"Well here… I'm going to kill Ari, happy." Fang whispered as he tilted his head and pulled me close to him. Fang gave me a soft kiss on the lips and I wrapped my arms around his neck. When we broke apart I had a big smile on my face and even Fang was giving me a half smile.

"Yes, yes I am happy." I said as I hugged him and laid my head on his shoulder. Fang smoothed my hair and put his check on the top of my head.

"Were you serious when you said you wanted me to kill Ari?" Fang asked. As he brought his head off of mine. I stepped back and put my hands on my hips.

"Yeah, did you see what he did to my wings?" I said slightly opening my wings. Fang shook his head then looked at me. He walked closer to me and touched the tip of my feathers. His eyes never left mine. He brought his hands off of my feathers and graved on of my hands in his. He pulled me into him and kissed my cheek.

"Go to bed Max, you've had a long day." Fang said as he hugged me one more time.

"Yeah that would say the least… but it's one of the best days I've had in a long, long time." I said as I smiled and walked up stairs.
