Chapter 8
Fang's POV
Somehow, Angel and Nudge convinced Max to have the flock play truth or dare, including me. This could go wrong in so many ways, like me telling my darkest secret, or it could go so right, like Max having to do or say something to make her blush. Max let Angel go first, and the games began.
"Iggy, truth or dare?" she asked.
"Truth." I bet he thought that he had nothing to lose. Poor poor Igs.
"Where do you keep all your bombs?" Angel, being the sweetest girl in the world, asked. And I know I shouldn't say this, but I TOLD YOU SO! Iggy went paler than I ever thought possible for a 98 human, which let me tell you, that's paler than a piece of paper.
"In my underwear." Iggy responded to Angel. I heard Ewes from Nudge and Angel, a "Why Ig, why?" from Gazzy that had fallen to his knees, and Max, well, let's just say that if Iggy could see, he would've screamed in terror.
"Fang, truth or dare?" He asked me, in keeping in tradition of the game. But why did he ask me?
"Which is worse?" I asked in a lame attempt to keep my integrity.
"They're both pretty bad." He admitted.
"Dare." At my reply, an evil smirk came across his face.
"I dare you to tell the flock your 3 darkest secrets." Ladies and gentlemen, my integrity has left the building. The only thing making me keep going with the game was the fact that my turn was next.
"OK, first I write songs, second is that I learned how to play the guitar, and third is that I am scared of clowns." The flock busted out laughing at the last comment. After a few minutes, the laughter settled down. Who to choose, who to choose? Maybe- perfect!
"Max truth or dare?" I said, putting my plan in action.
"Uh- dare?" she said, but it turned out like a question. Dare wasn't what I was expecting. Maybe I could use it to my advantage.
"I dare you to tell the flock what you thought when you saw Lissa In the middle of the hall." Her face turned as red as Canyon's team colors (AN: Sorry! I had to put that in there. That means as red a tomato.)
"Ok, but this is the edited version that is ok for the kids to hear. I thought, 'What is that, thing doing here? Didn't we ditch her in Virginia? How dare she stoop so low as to follow us, because she can't keep her hands off Fang!'?" At this point in her speech, the ends of her hair were sparking every once in a while. "Ok, time for bed. Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel, get ready for bed. I'll meet you there in a few minutes."
"But Max-"Angel started, "Can we please finish the game before we go to sleep?
"Sorry Ang, but we have to get up early tomorrow to go to-"in the middle of her announcement she doubled over, tears bursting from her squeezed shut eyes. She was clutching her head. Not another brain attack! I thought that they were done! In the blink on an eye, I was over there, trying to comfort her. Why was everyone standing around? It's like they were frozen. Wait, Max was too? What is this?
Chapter 9
Do I have the power to control time? Cool, but how do I un-freeze it?
"GO!" I shouted, and it worked.
"Stop!" I shouted a little bit softer, and it worked just as well. I moved Max onto the bed, got a damp wash cloth, and a water bottle and yelled go. I started to comfort Max again, right before she blacked out. I turned to the flock, and everyone looked really confused., except Iggy, who had a mixed expression on his face.
"I'll tell you guys what happened tomorrow. Go to sleep like Max said, ok? She'll be awake in the morning." I told them. With a little bit of whining, they went to their rooms. I cradled Max in my arms, and put the damp washcloth on her head. At about Midnight I fell asleep with Max in my arms. The next thing I knew, I heard Max moaning.I opened my eyes and say her leaning up against me, with mumbled words escaping her mouth.
"Max?" I asked her.
"Fang?" she asked in the slightest whisper. She clutched her head again and I rocked her to sleep. I fell asleep to the sound of her breathing.
Max POV
"Max, can we please finish the game before we go to sleep?" Angel said. I tried not to look at her because she was most likely using Bambi eyes.
"Sorry Ang, but we have to get up early to go to-" AHHHHH! Searing white hot pain! There were daggers piercing my skull again and again. Images flashed through my head, so fast I could barely even realize they were there. For a millisecond, the pain went away, then it came back triple what it was before. I couldn't take the pain and blacked out. I woke up who knows how long later and my head was throbbing so much I had to moan. That seemed to wake Fang up.
"Max?" He asked. He probably whispered it, but to me it sounded like he shouted in my ear. I had to wait for a few seconds before I had enough strength to respond. I whispered his name and that one word broke down the wall blocking out all of the other pain, and it came flooding in. I clutched my head (AN Déjà vu, well, great minds think alike) and tried not to cry or scream. Fang held me and comforted me. As long as he was here, I was safe. I fell asleep in his arms.
OK? Bad? REALLY REALLY BAD? Good? How was it? Sorry for not updating! Don't forget to tell me what country they should go to!! Noodle
