"I think that if you don't remove your finger from Max's face you're going to get your but handed to you on a silver platter."
Max POV
Please let this be someone who's going to help me, I thought as the figure stood above me.
"OOH! Is that a threat?"
"You better believe that's a threat! Haven't anyone ever told you? It's not polite to touch a girl without her consent."
"I'll show you consent."
I heard fighting going on around me, but couldn't see anything for I was having trouble keeping my eyes open, I was just so tired.
I heard a crunching noise, then everything was silent. Vibrations on the ground told me that someone was coming towards me. Please let this be a friend and not a foe I thought.
"Max?"
Someone knelt down beside me and pulled me into his chest, his strong and very much rock solid chest. Fang!
"Hm?"
"Are you alright? Where did he hurt you?"
"I hurt everywhere." He tried to pull away from me, but I drew my arms around him. "Stay here. I'm fine right where I am." I felt him chuckle underneath me.
"I thought I had lost you."
"Nope. Still here. Now you're stuck with me."
"He pulled back. "If you're here, it's a blessing, not a curse." Then the rest of the flock came running to us.
"MAX!" a chorus of four voices screamed at me before tackling me onto the ground.
"Hey guys! Um…I can't breath."
They let up, thankfully. Then the questions hit.
"How are you?"
"Are you hurt?"
"If you need anything let me know."
"Can we get some food?"
"I'm fine, a little, ok I will, and yes. Where do you want to go Nudge?"
"OOOOOOOOH! Can we go back to Paris please?"
"Sure. Get ready to go. We'll take off soon."
Everyone except for Iggy left.
"Iggy. Can you check Max? See if anything's broken?"
"Sure."
"Max, lay down."
"OK." I obliged and felt Iggy's ever-so-soft hands trace over my body. No, it didn't mean anything, not like when Fang does that.
"She's got a few cracked ribs and a broken wing and ankle. No way is she in any condition to fly."
"Ok. Iggy, get the rest of the flock. We need to leave as soon as we can. Be ready in five."
Iggy nodded his head and left, walking back to where he heard the rest of the flock playing.
"Max, I-"
"Fang? No way are you going to be able to carry me from here to wherever we're going!"
"Max, don't worry about me. You're the hurt one."
"Fine, fine. C'mon, let's go." I put my arms around Fang's neck and he picked me up.
"Ready, sweetheart?"
"As ready as I'll ever be. Flock! U and A!"
Everyone took off. We flew for a couple of hours, then flew down to a clump of trees when darkness was starting to hit.
Once on the ground, Fang started barking orders to everyone. "Iggy and Nudge, firewood!" "Angel! You and Gazzy scout for trouble!"
As they left, Fang came to sit down next to me. I put my head on his shoulder and he stroked my arm.
"Fang. Thank you…for everything."
"You're most very welcome. It was my pleasure beating up the kid who tried to hurt you."
I smiled at him as everyone came back to camp.
"Ok everyone. I need you to go into town and get food and bandages, we're gonna patch miss thing here up as best we can…sound fun?"
A chorus of yeses reached my ears and I groaned. As soon as they left Fang started a fire and pulled me by it, right next to where he was sitting. I put my head on his shoulder once again, and he put his arm around me, pulling me into him even more.
"You are so beautiful, you know that?"
I looked up at him and smiled. He gave me a smile back that turned me to mush. I was literally play-dough in his hands. I think he saw that, because he grinned and put his hand on the back of my neck.
I looked up at him, straight into his onyx eyes. They were beautiful. I could get lost in those eyes. All of a sudden he leaned down towards me and kissed me ever so lightly on the lips. He drew back, but didn't get far, as I had already started pulling him in for another kiss.
ok! so how was it? tell me tlee me tell me! i need to know what you want to make this story more interesting! oh...and i'm stuck on to love or not to love? Fang is the question...so if you have any ideas PM me! thanx bunches!
