I'm procrastinating. I'm supposed to be writing my NaNoWriMo novel as I'm behind, but it's not going very well. So I thought I'd write another chapter for you guys instead. So, this chapter is in Fangs POV as promised. I had a bit of difficulty with this chapter and I'm still not sure it's quite right. However, it is a bit longer than my previous chapters.

On another note thank you so much for all the reviews. I'm glad people like the story.

Disclaimer: Still don't own the flock and co, just the plot :)

On with the story :)

FPOV

I stood at the bow of my ship, staring out towards the open sea and enjoying the feel of the sea breeze against my face.

Behind me I could hear the sounds of the crew going about their duties and the reassuring creak of the sails that meant they were catching plenty of wind.

"The course is set for Port Ayres, Captain. If the wind stays with us then we should reach the port in three days." The voice of my first mate came from behind me, disturbing my peaceful thoughts.

I grunted in acknowledgement, hoping he would take the hint and go away.

He didn't.

Instead, he took another step forward and leant on the ships railings beside me.

"Did you hear the rumours in the last port?" He asked, his voice low so as not to carry to the rest of the crew.

"I heard" I muttered, continuing to stare out over the water.

"But you still plan to sail to Ayres?"

I remained silent.

"Fang?"

"I finally sighed and turned my full attention to my first mate and best friend, Jeffery Chance, otherwise known as Iggy. We had a long history together and he was one of the few people I trusted completely.

Sensing my movement he turned his sightless eyes towards me and grinned

"Well?" he asked again

"No."

He sighed, "Such an interesting answer Fang, so deep, you always were brilliant at making conversation."

I smirked as he continued to talk "So would you like me to set a new course?" he asked slowly. He sounded like he was talking to a child.

"No." I hesitated a moment, my eyes turning back towards the water "I think we'll wait till we're further out to sea before setting a new course."

"You've noticed then?"

"Yeah, I've noticed."

"So what do we do?"

I glanced at him "We hold council. War room, one hour. Tell the others."

Iggy threw me another grin, snapping his hand up in a mocking salute "Aye Aye Captain" he said cheerfully, before he turned on his heel and marched off.

I turned my gaze back to the sea, wishing the thoughts in my head were as calm as the water in front of me.

I walked in to my cabin and dropped on to my bed.

My cabin was the largest room on the ship and my own private space to escape. Furniture crowded the room. I had a bed pushed against one wall, a beat up old sofa (Don't ask how we got it in here) against another and near the door sat a desk, strewn with papers and maps, and a chair.

My cabin also doubled as the war room.

A knock sounded on the door and before I could answer, it was swung open and Iggy came flouncing in, three other people behind him.

Iggy made straight for the sofa and threw himself down.

"Well, here we all are Fangy." He said cheerfully, stretching and taking up the entire sofa. I smirked as he got clipped round the ear

"Get your legs off the sofa" Ella scowled at him. Iggy hurriedly sat up. The two girls plonked themselves down on either side of him and I hid a smile as I heard him gulp.

I rubbed my forehead then sat up myself

"Ari, shut the door." I said softly. He did as asked, then moved over to lean on the desk.

"So what's up Fang? I mean, we've only just left port and you're already calling a meeting? Is it about that fight Sam and Trent got in to? Because I know they seem to get in to a lot of fights but they said that this time it really wasn't their…"

Thank you Iggy.

"Nudge! Geez," he muttered.

"Sorry." She grinned sheepishly as she pulled Iggy's hand from her mouth.

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair, my eyes examining my friends.

Ari, looking calm and composed, as always, leaning against my desk, his arms crossed, but still with that steely glint in his eyes. Extremely slow to anger but if he does, watch out.

Ella, generally the peace maker of our little group, despite the fact she had a quick temper. Dark brown hair, pretty brown eyes and a small scar across her cheek that was a constant reminder of her life before she met us. She never let it bring her down though.

Monique, who was very quickly rechristened Nudge, because that's what you needed to do to shut her up. She was the chatterbox. Born in the more tropical part of the world, she had mocha coloured skin, brown hair which, to her disgust tends to be a little wild, and brown eyes.

And sat between the two girls, of course, was Iggy. My wise cracking best friend who seemed to be extremely good at getting in to trouble. Despite being blind he always knew exactly what was going on, and was the best cook I knew. He also, unfortunately, liked to experiment with things and that often resulted in something exploding.

We had all been together for a long time and these were the people I trusted most in the world. They had known me long before I had become captain of a pirate ship.

"So what's up Fang?" Ella asked

I got straight to the point "We have traitor in our midst."

None of them looked surprised.

Ari nodded thoughtfully "I suspected something, too many coincidences."

Ella nodded in agreement, "Yeah, the law just happening to keep turning up where we are? Once or twice, maybe even three times in a row. But…" She trailed off shaking her head

"Any ideas who it might be Fang? I mean, we haven't taken any new crew aboard for almost eight months, and that was Trent, and seeing as he was Sam's brother and Sam has been with us for almost two years, and we never had any trouble before, I don't think…"

"Nudge!"

She bit her lip and gave us all an apologetic look.

"There has been one other new person aboard for the past few weeks" Iggy said hesitantly.

"This was happening before she came on board." I said softly.

Ella scowled "I don't know why we even brought her on board. She's a pain in the…"

We all heard the little giggle and Ella shut her mouth quickly. I raised an eyebrow at the others and got to my feet as I replied to Ella "I owed a favour. I promised to get her to Trulia. I don't break promises."

Ella sighed and I heard her mumble "we know" as I moved over to the desk. Ari stepped over to the door as I leant over the desk and looked under it, to see a pair of blue eyes looking at me.

"Angel!" I frowned at her and she just giggled again, tilting her head to look at me. I was looking at her upside down and unfortunately I didn't see Total until it was too late.

I pulled back hurriedly as he licked my face.

"Yuck" I scowled, standing up and wiping an arm across my face, getting rid of the doggie saliva.

"Angel" I growled her name as she crawled out from under the desk "What have I told you about eavesdropping?"

She bit her lip and looked at the floor, her hands clasped behind her back, a teddy bear held firmly in their grip. Total sat next to her, mimicking her sorrowful look.

"Sorry Fang," She looked up at me, her eyes wide "I didn't mean to, I was playing with Celeste under the desk and then you came in and before I could come out the rest of them did and…"

"You thought it would be a good idea to stay there." I finished for her. She looked at the floor again.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, before crouching down and looking the little girl in the eyes.

"Angel, what we were talking about, it's very important that you don't repeat anything you heard. Don't even talk about it with any of us."

She nodded eagerly "I won't Fang, I promise. I'm really good at keeping secrets." For some reason those last words didn't reassure me. Nor did the look on her face. Instead I got the feeling that this wasn't the only secret she was keeping, and, knowing Angel, that made me worried.

She smiled at me and I picked her up and carried her over to the bed, sitting back down with her on my lap.

I looked round the group once more "I think we should discuss this more later. For now, everyone keep your eyes and ears open. Ella, set course for Trulia." She looked slightly surprised.

"You sure Fang?"

I nodded "Well we can't go to Ayres, what with the rumours of a trap, so why not skip the few ports we did have planned and head straight for Trulia. It'll be harder for the law to catch up and we can ditch our passenger. We have enough provisions for the trip."

Ella grinned "Aye Aye Captain. We'll all be glad to see the back of her."

"Yes we will" I heard Ari mutter.

Iggy clapped his hands "Time to get back to work children" he said, springing from his seat. I saw Nudge roll her eyes as she stood up also.

As I watched my friends file out, Angel squirmed on my lap "Fang, how far away is Trulia?" she asked

I looked down at her "About three weeks or so of sailing." She bit her lip, looking worried, causing my suspicions to rise "Why?" I asked

She looked up at me, wide eyed, an innocent smile on her face "Just wondering. I'm going to go find Gazzy. He promised to have a tea party with me. Bye Fang" With that she squirmed off my lap and darted off, Total at her feet.

I frowned at the empty cabin. Great, not only did I have to worry that I might have a traitor aboard, and a passenger nobody liked, but now I was worrying about what Angel was up to as well. An innocent looking Angel is never good.

So, what do you guys think. Like I said I'm not sure I got Fangs POV quite right. Let me know if you spot any mistakes, I edit my own writing so usually miss something.

Now a couple of questions for you. First, do people want a single Iggy, or Iggy plus Nudge or Ella? If you want him with someone, let me know a preference.

Secondly, Fang ship is going to need a name. Any suggestions, because at the moment I'm drawing a blank.

Anyway, hope you like the chapter and I'll get the next one up as soon as I can :)
