Hey guys I just wanted to thank you for reading, but PLEASE review!! I've gotten a lot of hits but only two reviews!!
Next three people to review will get a sneak peak of next chapter…
Max POV
Keir sat next to Iggy, an awkwardly pained smile pinned on her face. I blinked. I knew I shouldn't be this mean to her, but my god! What was I supposed to do? We were settled around the campfire when they came strutting into camp, smiling like idiots—hence, we now have one happy couple, even if Fang and I couldn't get up the nerve to tell each other…But seriously, she wanted to come with us? I was only fourteen, almost fifteen, and I was leading the flock, keeping them relatively safe for several years, and know this little prig comes along and thinks she can just come with us? What were we now, a freaking club? I guess Fang sensed my tension because he jabbed me in the shoulder and gestured at the forest fringe behind us with a nod. I didn't want to leave Iggy and Keir alone for any stretch of time but I didn't really have a choice when Fang stood up, eyes glowing and picked me up (after all I only weighed 70 pounds, aren't most of you jealous?) and slung me over his shoulder unceremoniously. Well that royally pissed me off. I beat at his back for a moment and was considering opening my wings to escape him when he dropped me into the dirt.
"What the heck?"
I asked after I had recovered from the shock of what he had just
done. "God, Fang! What is wrong with you?" He smiled
mockingly at my face as I thrust it towards him, eyes blazing. "Fang,
you've changed. You've been undermining me in front of the Flock,
now in front of that girl—what's wrong with you?"
He grinned
even more and walked away from me, and then leaned nonchalantly
against a tree, almost disappearing in the dark.
"What's wrong with me, Max?"
"Yes," I growled.
"Maybe I just don't want you to ruin the chance of happiness for my brother," He said quietly; seriously. Well, two could play at this game. I went suddenly stoic and paced in front of him slowly.
"He's my brother too, Fang. I grew up with him, just like you. I know everything about him that you do."
"Do you," He said sarcastically.
"Yes."
"Well Max, did you know that Iggy was in love with you until two years ago?" I was dumbfounded. I glanced at Fang's grim face skeptically; that couldn't be right.
"You're lying." I hated to say that to my best friend, but those were the only words that I could find to describe my feelings right now. Fang frowned and stepped towards me, tucking the hair behind his left ear. He pointed to a scar on his temple.
"You see that scar?" He asked quietly and I dreaded what was coming. "We had a fight, Max. Three years ago; he wouldn't stop talking about you to me and I—" He stopped as if realizing what he was about to say. "I punched him, Max. We were only eleven and we fought. Over you." He whispered the last sentence. My heart stopped, but my brain continued to come up with reasons against what he was saying.
He took a step towards me and I couldn't help but take a step back.
"We both loved you, Max. And I still do."
Thanks You guys! Don't forget that the next three people to review get a sneak peak of next chapter!!
