Sorry for taking so long to update AGAIN. I'm so busy that I'm surprised when I get to update. Even with the three day weekend, I'm already getting behind in school. Just remind me if I take too long because I hate taking this long to update. I also posted a NEW MAXIMUM RIDE STORY so please check it out. Thanks again for all of the reviews. Here is the 66th chapter. ENJOY!!
Chapter 66 Are they after us?
Max's POV
The object scared the crap out of us, not because it might explode but what might come. The note said that each rock was going to get closer and closer to the house but it still didn't make sense. Just the way they phrased that, it seems like it is aimed at someone else but landed in front of our house, of all places.
I must have been thinking hard because Fang's low monotone-like chuckle interrupted my thoughts. "What's so funny?"
It took him a second to catch his breath before speaking, "Your face."
My arms crossed and he knew that I wasn't happy, "So now my face is funny."
His laughter halted almost immediately. "You know…that's not what." He was so puzzled by my reaction that he was left utterly speechless.
A smile spread across my face and he knew instantly that I was kidding. His eyes rolled up way into his head and he shoved me playfully.
Mom came into view and we immediately sat still like nothing had happened. She smiled at us like she knew exactly what was going on.
"Hi Mom," I said casually to her. It seems like we should be more shook up from the falling rock.
She sat down in the couch across from us. "Have either of you thought of who might have done that."
Fang and I turned to face each other and shrugged our shoulders at the same time. "It can't be Kristy and James. This is definitely something they would not do and it can't be the School because we got rid of them a while ago and they would have sent erasers after us." A shiver was sent through my body at the mention of the word erasers. I couldn't even remember the last time that I thought of them.
Fang's arms wrapped around me, he must have noticed the chill, and he leaned his head on mine. "You okay?" He whispered in my ear. Mom didn't even notice Fang's lips moving.
"I am now," I lowered my voice that I don't even think Fang heard me.
He nudged me with his shoulder and gave me this confused expression. I turned my head to point at Mom to let him know that she was still in the room with us but it didn't seem like he cared.
"Hmmm," Mom interrupted our random 'staring content' between Fang and I. I completely forgot about my surroundings while I was looking into Fang's eyes. If a bomb went off right outside the house within the last few minutes, I wouldn't have realized it.
I blinked my eyes rapidly and turned to face Mom.
"So, where were we?" She asked, like she didn't know.
It took me a few seconds to focus back on what we were talking about. "If there is someone else who would attack us, I can't think of someone."
We sat there in complete silence, thinking deeply about the attackers.
Fang broke the silence, "There is only one way to find out, we need to investigate." One of my eyebrows rose, I've never heard him say anything like that before, and it sounded weird coming from him. "What else is there to do?"
I opened my mouth but immediately shut it knowing that there was no other way to figure this out. "We are going to need to wait for the rest of the Flock." My hand made contact with my forehead.
"What was that for?" Fang asked, confusion dripping off every word. It seems to me like everyone is much more confused then usual.
"I'm thinking about this week. We need to think of a way to get back at Kristi and James; we were going to relax in between…" Fang knew exactly what I meant by that. "…and now we have to figure out who sent that rock hurtling at the house.
I went back into the deep thinking that I was doing before. It seems impossible that that message was meant for us. Why would someone send us a message to us like that, it's not we haven't been threatened before, but with a rock? Right now I just want to go to sleep and forget…
Fang's lips made contact with mine and I lost my train of thought, which I think was the point of the kiss. He broke away within a couple of seconds, probably because Mom was in the room, and he had a humongous grin spread across his face.
"Now what was clogging up your mind, that no matter how many times I said your name, you would not answer?" Fang asked, the smile never fading after each word he said.
"The same thing that is going to clog my mind until we figure out what the hell is going on around here." I said, a little snappish.
He shot back a little bit in complete and utter surprise. It took him a minute to remember not to mess with me this week. That time of the month really messes with my moods now, there isn't as much to worry about, usually, and when there is, it makes me so much more worried.
Hopefully this week will get better, if everything goes the way we planed it, then this should be one of the best weeks of my life. Then, a big bonus is that I get to be in the house with just Fang all week long.
"Fang, Max, Dr. M, we are home," Nudge, Ella and Angel yelled at the top of their lungs from the doorway.
They came trailing in the room with Gazzy and Iggy, plugging their ears, right behind them.
I guess it's time to explain everything that happened to day. Doesn't that sound like fun?
Hope you guys enjoyed that chapter. Hopefully the next chapter will be much more exciting. I'm kind of getting writer's block and I do have a lot going on so I'll update again as soon as possible. Thanks for all of the reviews and PLEASE REVIEW!!
