Sorry that the story has been so weird lately and that the bad guy is practically invincible. After the crazy lady dies, the story will go back to normal. For everyone who has read 'It All Started with a Slap on the Butt' and 'Fang's Turn,' I'm going to be editing it and I'm thinking of deleting 'Switch' and adding a different ending to 'Fang's Turn' so check it out. Thanks again for all of the reviews. Here is the 58th chapter. ENJOY!!
Chapter 58 Memory
Max's POV
"I'm a phoenix," she said with her crazy grin on her face.
Her statement completely confused me. How can people be phoenixes? "What the heck are you talking about. Only birds are phoenixes."
Her grin vanished and anger spread out across her face. "Phoenixes DON'T have to be birds," she practically screamed right in my face. "Do you have a problem with that?" Her anger was rising and it seemed like she was going to explode at any second. Maybe I can use that to my advantage.
"What are you smiling about now, you bitch?" She started yelling at me again. My plan was starting to work.
"There is no possible way that you are a phoenix. You must be a clone." Her face was turning red and sweat started to slide down her face. She wiped the sweat from her forehead before speaking.
"How could be a clone? Clones can't appear out of thin air." Her voice was rising little by little with each word that she said.
"I've seen clones like that before but there must be a way for you to die," my voice was still nice and steady, trying to make this conversation seem like you have it everyday.
If it was possible, her face got redder with every word I said. It was already blood red. The veins on her head were popping out and she was tapping her foot a million times in a second.
"There is. If you stab me through the heart," she covered her mouth as soon as she finished her sentence. I finally got her to crack but I thought it would take longer. I guess I underestimated her. "You did not just hear me say that."
"Sure I didn't," sarcasm dripping on my every word but I guess she was too stupid to notice.
"Good," relief washed over her face and she wiped the rest of the sweat off of her forehead with the back of her hand. I could see most of it fall to the ground. With all the sweat that was pouring off of her, a puddle already started to form on the floor but I wasn't finished with my plan.
I wonder what could happen if I get her even more pissed but I took a break from that and went back over to Fang.
"Are you okay?" I waved my hand in front of his face.
His eyes looked up at me almost pleadingly. Without a word out of his mouth I new what he was trying to tell me. She was controlling him. Well that would explain a lot. I bet she is keeping him silent so that I wouldn't find out but she didn't know the strong bond we had with each other. We have known each other for so long that we didn't need words anymore. When I was still saving the world, Fang was always trying to communicate with me but I never realized it.
I know that I was supposed to finish the crazy lady off but I got sucked back into a memory almost like what Jeb used to do with me with all of the images.
Fang and I were sitting on the edge of one of the caves that we had been staying in for a while. It was when I was still trying to save the world and after a while I found out that that was the night that I figured out that he loved me.
The rest of the Flock was sleeping and I could hear Iggy's deep breaths and Gazzy's snoring from all the way across the cave.
"Are you okay," we had just had a run in with a bunch of flyboys and we were all a mess but Fang was the worse. He wouldn't admit it but I just had a feeling there was something wrong with him.
His eyes were blank, as always, but there was a weird tension between us.
He turned his eyes away from me and looked back at the stars.
"I'm fine," he said with a steady voice.
It seemed like he didn't want to talk about that anymore being the 'big man' that he always is, so I changed the subject.
"The stars are beautiful," I whispered to him so quiet that I could barely hear myself when I muttered out the words and I didn't even know why.
"They aren't as beautiful as you," I was in shock. Did I just hear him correctly?
He turned his head down and looked at his feet, pretending that he didn't say a word.
I decided to use what he said against my advantage. "So you think I'm pretty," I asked him with a big grin on my face.
He looked up at me and his expression didn't change. "I didn't say a thing."
I rolled my eyes into my head, like I would really believe that.
I lifted my arm and pushed him off the edge of the cliff.
"Hey," he yelled up at me but he didn't come back up.
Panic washed over me. Fang might be old enough to take care of himself but I still worried about him.
"Fang," I called out to see maybe he got caught somewhere but there was no answer.
I jumped off the cliff and spread my thirteen foot wings out and the wind lifted me up with a loud whoosh.
Even with my excellent eye site, I still couldn't see Fang. "Fang, Fang, where did you go?" His disappearance started to worry me.
I was about to turn back when something jumped out from a crack in the cliff.
I didn't even a chance to get a good look at who it was but the pitch black hair caught my eye.
"FANG," I shouted at him.
"Yes?" Fang asked me while turning me to face him. His beautiful soft black wings were flapping and he was carrying my weight along with his.
"What the hell did you do that for?" my voice started to calm down but there was still an edge.
He was quiet for a few minutes before he spoke up. "Because I wanted to shock you when I did this."
He took a deep breath and then leaned in and brushed his lips right against mine.
I was left speechless. He was right, it did shock me but he immediately let go of me and flew back up to the cave.
At that moment I came out of the memory and was rushed back into reality.
The crazy lady was staring at me with an eyebrow raised.
"Are you back?" She asked me with an edge to her voice.
I rolled my eyes at her. My fists started to clench, I ran up to her and punched her hard in the gut. She flew back and hit the wall.
The memory had me think about what I would never be able to experience again if we don't get out of here.
She came rushing back at me with revenge written all over her face.
Pain washed through my body and I felt some blood trickle down my face.
Tink, something made of metal hit the floor right in front of my foot. Her pocket knife fell out of her pocket. She is one dumb bitch. Now I know where her son got it from.
She was coming at me again. I ducked, grabbed the pocket knife from the ground, and pierced it through her heart in one motion.
Thud, she fell to the ground. Blood seeping through her shirt.
I let out a breath that I had been holding in for a while. Thank god this was finally over.
"Are you okay?" His question reminded me of the memory that I just went through.
A smile crept onto my face and he had a questioning look on his face.
"Are you okay?" He asked me again but I gave him a different answer then what he wanted.
There was a window nearby so it worked. "The stars are beautiful," Fang's questioning look crossed his face again, wondering why I was talking about stars.
He titled his head and a few seconds later he finally understood what I was talking about.
"They aren't as beautiful as you," a crooked smile spread out across his face and he leaned in for a tender kiss that lasted only a few seconds.
When he pulled away I spoke up, "I think we should get going."
He nodded his head in agreement and we headed home.
