Yeah, I'm going to warn you this chapter is very, very short. I just felt so bad for not updating for so long, so I just put it up.

Congratulations to JASPERxHALE-YES and sILENCEmAXIMUMdARKO! Nice guess!

Thank you to Ella Meadows, Toxic Rain42(Good idea - I kinda wish I had thought of that.), maxride333, and Mikkie. And no problem, more FAX is coming up.

Chapter 10:


"My hero," I said scathingly, glaring at my new cellmate. "My knight in shining armor."

Fang didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.

I ground my teeth and waited. "Well?" I finally asked.

Fang opened his eyes. "Well what?"

"Your plan! Your wonderful, brilliant plan to rescue me!" I demanded furiously. "Or did you suddenly go insane in my absence and decide to purposely get captured?! How did you even find out where I was?! And what are you even doing!? I left to protect you, you idiot! What is wrong with you!?"

Fang answered none of these questions. "Admit it. You feel glad I'm here with you."

And deep, deep down inside, I did feel that way. I was relieved to have someone with me besides my crazy old Voice. But was I going to admit it to Fang? Nope. "Yeah Fang, I am so absolutely ecstatic that my best friend is captured and is now in hell with me. Just makes my day."

Fang looked at me, unperturbed. "The kids are safe, just to let you know."

He didn't say anything more. We both knew there was a good chance there were mikes or cameras hidden in here.

Fang took in my dirty, once-blue jacket. The whole right side was covered in dried blood. "You okay?" he asked.

"Oh, I got shot, no biggie," I said. I had bigger concerns. Like the fact I was getting my wings removed and I really needed to escape, except I was so tired I could barely stand.

Fang was still watching me carefully. "What's wrong?"

"Like you care," I muttered, surprising myself. "You're the one who told me to leave."

"I'm sorry," Fang said quietly, so I could barely hear him. I blinked. Fang apologizing. I was pretty sure my lack of sleep was causing hallucinations, but…

"Come again?" I asked cautiously, just in case.

"Max," he said, smiling slightly. "We're in a sealed room. You can't run away this time."

Fang leaned forward, and I just had enough time to curse him for being right. I was trapped in here. I couldn't run away.

And then Fang and I were kissing. Again.

My sleep deprived mind was thinking: Oh hey, this is nice. Really, really nice. Very nice. What was I so afraid of? I should do this more often.

And what was the more alert part of my mind thinking? Honestly, about the same thing.


I've got the next two chapters written, but I still have to type them up. I promise try and put up the next two chapters this weekend.

R&R?
