…hi…

Before you start screaming your head off at me for not posting for like…ever…I would like a chance to explain myself.

First off, I left for cheer camp. For like a week, about a week after my last post.

But I didn't get enough reviews to satisfy my need for a boost in self-confidence.

Then, I went to D.C the day after I got back from camp.

Then it was today.

The end! Please don't track me down and kill me!

*sighs* on with the story…

Fang POV:

…asleep in my arms…

I awoke to the sound of an engine running and nasty bickering. At first I thought I was imagining the voices, but once I came-to I realized how wrong I had been to hope such a thing. I shared a worried glance with Max, whom I noticed the moment I opened my eyes, before turning to glare at whomever made her look so hurt and vulnerable. As I looked up at a woman I had never met, but could only assume by what I overheard going on between her and Max, was the director of Itex, I was filled with such hatred for a stranger that it scared me. Despite the fact that I had never met her before now, I knew her soul as well as anyone. How she stood, the way she talked, the words she spoke so eagerly that almost brought Max to her breaking point, no one that wasn't pure evil could conjure such things. This woman, of her own will, broke Max's heart-and at the same time almost killed her while I was (stupidly) unable to protect and support her. The whole timeframe leading up to that incident was full of raw emotion, when the flock had split up, and it was all I could do not to spit in her face. "Where's your little spy?" I asked, deciding that distracting myself from the past would help to regain my composure. She replied trhat he was heading back to his billionair father to 'clean up' the mess we left at the concert hall the previous night. Then she made some bitchy comment on how Max's fame had made her life so difficult. Honestly, the fact that she could complain in the face of the only person I knew to suffer more than I did, to live through hell and back, proved her ignorance and stupidity to be more dominant that I had initially thought. After neither Max or I responded to her little pity fest, she left us to 'ponder our fate.' As I looked again at Max, the truth became obvious: We were heading back to Itex. And this time, taken totally by surprise, we had no plan of action to get ourselves out before it was too late.

Haha, I'm going to stop it there! I know you hate me, and it's probably stupid to leave a super short chapter after giving such a lapse between updates up until now, but I figured this was a good stopping point. If you want me to update again tomorrow, and I promise I will, you have to review. At least 2 reviews by 5 o'clock western time, and another chapter will present itself on my fabulous fanfiction. (I promise I'm much more humble and shy in person…)

The next chapter is all about their plan of action! Shall I say…BOOM?

He-he.

REVIEW!!!!!!!
