Sorry for not updating in a while! I was so busy with school and other stuff but now that it's summer I will be able to write a lot. This isn't one of my best chapters but I hope you still like it )
Max's POV
I sat there thinking about what had happened today. A million things were just racing through my mind at one time. I was starting to get a major headache but thankfully it wasn't a brain attack. I haven't had one in a while and I didn't want them to start now. I felt bad for yelling at Angel like that, I would make it up to her some how. Maybe we could go to the beach for a week or so.
I had been so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice it was way past my turn for watch.
"Max, why the hell didn't you wake me up!" Fang whisper yelled at me. I didn't notice him sneak up behind me. I really hate when he does that and with me being in a bad mood I couldn't help but yell back at him.
"I don't have to wake you up! I'm the leader and if I want to take both watches then I will." That really must of ticked him off because right then his face turned bright red in anger.
"You are so stubborn! You think that you can do anything but you just can't! You need our help and you know that!" His words stung me a little but infuriated me at the same time.
"I'm stubborn? Your the one who won't even tell me what you were going to say to me earlier."
"That's because it's not important anymore."
We started to back away from camp so we wouldn't wake the others as our yelling grew louder. Dark clouds were starting to form and I knew I would have to wake the flock up soon so we could move to a cave.
"Just tell me what you were going to say earlier and everything will be fine."
"No, I don't have to listen to you."
"Yes you do! I'm the leader and I demand you tell me."
"You know what Max? You act like your so strong and that you don't need anyone else to help you but your not perfect! And your not normal!"
His words stung me beyond belief and before I knew it I reached my hand up and slapped him. He just stared at be in disbelief and what looked like pain. Not physical pain but emotional. I just stared at my hand in horror. What have I done? We never hurt each other on purpose not even when we were fighting. Before I knew it tears had started falling down my face.
"Max, please don't cry. It's ok, I know you didn't mean it." He reached out to wipe away my tears but I just ran off and took flight into the darkened sky as it opened up and started to pour.
Fang's POV
"MAX! COME BACK!"
I took off after her as fast as I could but she turned on her super speed and she was gone within seconds. Drenched and depressed as I was, I quickly flew back to the flock to help them find shelter. I landed at the camp and ran over to Iggy. I quickly thought up a story so the flock wouldn't know what had just happened.
"Um…Max and I were looking for shelter before then storm came. She went another way but she should be back soon." I think everyone believed me but Iggy didn't look that convinced.
"So where are we going to go?" Iggy just had to make this harder on me but I remembered seeing a small cave when I flew after Max.
"There is a cave to the north of here. I'll take you to it and then I'm going to go find Max."
Iggy still didn't looked convinced but he just shrugged and said ok. We gathered up our things and I led the way to the cave.
"Nudge, can you and Gazzy set up a fire as best you can?"
"Sure Fang"
"And Angel, you and Total can clear away some of the rocks and give the sticks to Nudge."
"Ok, Fang." I could tell Angel was trying to get into my thoughts to find out why Max wasn't here. It was a good thing I was blocking her.
"Ok Iggy, will you guys be fine while I go find Max?"
"Yeah, we'll be find but just hurry back ok?"
"Will do."
I snapped my wings open and took off in the direction I saw Max go in. This had to be the worst storm I ever saw in my life. The rain felt like hard ice cubes as it hit me and the wind was blowing me all over the place. I just hope that Max was okay.
After an hour the storm had gotten worse and I was completely lost. I decided to land in a small cave I noticed alongside the mountain.
As I landed I heard a noise from within the cave. It sounded like someone was crying. It sounded like Max.
"MAX!"
"Fang?"
I saw her sitting in the corner dripping wet and shaking uncontrollably. Her beautiful face was tear strained and I could see fresh tears already starting to form. As hers eyes met mine those tears started to leak from her gorgeous eyes and she put her head down.
I ran over and gently lifted her into my arms.
"Max, it's ok. I shouldn't have started to yell at you. This is all my fault. I'm sorry I said you weren't normal or perfect. Max to me you are the most wonderful girl in the world."
Her tears started to slow down and I carefully lifted her head so she could see me.
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, I do. More then you will ever know. I've wanted to tell you this ever since I met you. This is what I wanted to tell you at the hotel."
"What did you want to tell me?"
"I love you. I love you so much, Max."
"Oh Fang, I love you too."
Her face brightened up and her tears stopped. Upon her face was one of her amazingly beautiful smiles. I gently lifted her head up and kissed her soft lips.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it and please review!
