Chapter 17

Marian turned off her microphone and clipped the little thing back on her collar. She walked back to Fang's room to tell him a lie of some sort.

"Fang, you know how Virginia can read people's minds. Well she heard the whitecoats talking, from a far, and they said that they captured and killed Max," she paused once his face turned paler then pale could ever be.

"But how?" he questioned holding back his tears. Then he gained some color in his face and looked a little puzzled. "I thought you told me that you all were learning how to use your abilities still. And not even Angel could hear people's minds from that far away."

Marian started twiddling her thumbs thinking of a reply. He stared at her with confusion and disbelief.

"Well Virginia has very excellent hearing. I just forgot to tell you that because when I told you about what we could do I was just saying the necessary things," she smiled hoping that he would believe her.

His eyes were red and he looked so disappointed. His Voice wasn't around anymore to tell him if she was telling the truth or not and now to think that the girl he fell in love with was dead. Everything in his world was crashing, and fast.

"Fang are you okay," Marian asked kind of worried.

"No," Fang whispered staring blindly in space.

Marian was feeling bad for what she said and what she had to do for Angel. She leaned into Fang and pulled his head in closer to hers, and then she kissed him. Yea, she felt guilty but his girlfriend was going to be dead all she had to do was not go to the School and trick Fang. Running away was the only way that she could save Fang.

"Hey I have a new idea how about we go to somewhere far away from the School. Since you don't have anyone else to go to," she tried to be hopeful and cheery. But he looked at her and he had his hands in fists.

"No I have to kill him and make him pay to what he did to the flock and Max," he sobbed.

"But you will just die also. Wouldn't you want to live, I know Max would rather you be alive," she grabbed his fists and forced them to open so she could hold his hand. "Anyways she is in a better place now you know."

He looked back at her and thought for a second. "But I want to be where she is. I know I left but that was to protect her from dying herself. I need to be with her or do something completely horrible to whoever killed her."

"Max would have wanted you to live, and to fall for someone else once she died," Marian said the last part of the sentence really fast so he couldn't hear it.

"I have one thing to ask you Marian."

"What?" she looked at Fang with a puzzled look.

"Kill me."
