Fang's back! But, he's not okay. He looked horrible. I wandered over to him after sending Angel to bed. "What's up? Is Fang gonna be okay?" I asked, trying not to seem too worried. Truth was, I was so afraid of losing Fang. I hurried over to him and cradled his face in my hands. "Be okay.... please? Be okay. I need you." I leaned in and kissed him. He kissed be back.
"Ouch," he said against my lips. I pulled away.
"Sorry," I murmered, holding his hand.
"He'll be fine. He just needs to rest for about a month," Mom said.
My jaw dropped. "It's not safe for us to be in the same place for such a long time. And, plus, I wouldn't want to get you hurt."
Fang looked at me. "Kiss me," he murmered. I didn't know what to do. "Don't make me sit up. Please?"
I shrugged and leaned in. He kissed my back, and his arms slowly wound around my neck. I tangled my hands into his hair.
"Ugh," Gazzy said, walking backwards out of the room. I pulled back and laughed.
"He just needs a lot of love," my mom nudged my back with her knee. "I'm sure you and the flock can give him that. And some medicines, special pills that will make sure he doesn't get diseases or infetions. He's got third degree burns, and bad scratches."
I nodded and looked back at Fang's beautiful, broken face. "Rest," I said, smiling weakly.
"Stay. I need you to stay," he said, putting his hand on my waist and pulling me towards him. I just nodded.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," I said, sitting down again.
"I'll leave you two alone," my mom siad, closing the door behind her. I needed to use this time wisely, since I didn't know if Fang would survive. I just hoped and prayed he did.
