Me: Guess what… new chapter!! SOOO sorry it's taken so long. Damn writers block.

Flock: Finally!

Me: What the- how'd you get in my room?

Gazzy: We have our ways. Or in me and Iggy's case… our bombs.

Max: What have I told you guys about bombs in other FanFiction author's homes used to sneak in and find out what they're up to?!

Me: Uhh… have you guys done this before?

Total: Noooo…

Previously on Just Hold Me (AN: Pretend Max is saying that… like on one of those TV shows… heh heh)

Alright. The Flock was being man-handled by a bunch of oversized braniac Douche-bags.

'Put the mutant kids where they belong. Take the 2 eldest to Room 16. The rest of them can be taken to Room 335.'

------

'Umm… hello?! Do you know why we are here? Alone?! IN A BEDROOM?!'

------

It wasn't one of those fairytale moments. But since this was about the fifth real kiss we've had, I've kind of gotten used to the fact that this was meant to be. We were meant to be.

------

Slyly, she put her lips to my ear and whispered, 'I love you too.'

------

Realisation hit me when I knew. A new power.

'I can read people's minds.' My eyes brightened up.

The blurry figure became visible.

Chapter 12- Do you trust a possible killer?

Max's POV

She wasn't like one of those ugly, brutal, murderous type of Whitecoat. Her face was actually quite pretty. But she was still a Whitecoat. That's kinda all that mattered.

'Are you Maximum Ride and Fang?' Her voice was puffed. Weird. Usually someone's voice was all deep, cold cut, and sort of saying: 'Are you ready to be eaten by vicious sharks now?'

Fang's eyes darted at me.

What do we do?

Okay, did he have to take advantage of my power too soon? I clutched my hand to my head as the pain started up again.

'Yes we are…' My speech was slurred out when Fang shot me a look.

Are you crazy?!

I rolled my eyes and focused on the situation at hand.

'My name is Katie. I can help you guys escape. Meaning all of you; if that makes any sense.'

Right. Sure. Ok. This chick didn't mean the worst right. So maybe, just maybe, we could go with her.

Yes, or maybe, just maybe, that's insane!

Fang's voice shook my inner mind like jelly.

I shot a thought back at him. You know, for someone who just started making out with someone, you're saying a few rude remarks.

You were thinking about that too…

Ugh! Men.

I turned to the situation at hand.

Her face looked like it was about to implode with questions. What is with all these freaky looks I get these days?

I'm going to let us help her Fang.

He shot a look at me, but sighed heavily.

'Fine- you ARE the leader.'

'Am I missing something here…?' Katie awkwardly asked.

I walked up to her carefully, Fang following me, watching my every move.

'We'll help you help us then.' Smiling at me, Katie didn't waste any breath.

'Good- we don't have much time.'

'Much time for what?' Fang raised an eyebrow.

'WOW… he actually talks.'

To my surprise, I actually chuckled and smirked.

'I know she likes it.' Fang retorted back quickly. He then extended his arm out and wrapped both of them around my waist.

My face began to blush, and then I just realised we were kind of a couple.

Great, isn't it? He thought to me.

'Awww… that's too cute! So are you guys like dating?'

I was taken aback. Since when did this 'Katie' take an interest in that sort of thing?

'What? I'm only 20.'

BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole room shook and I clutched onto Fang tighter.

'Can't get enough, can you?' He whispered with pride.

I then realized Katie was on the floor unconscious. Wow, she must be new at the whole element of surprise thing.

Great, another problem to deal with. My life is certainly filled with these every freakin' minute.

Letting go of Fang, I quickly knelt down beside her and tried to wake her up.

Fangs POV

Just when I thought Katie becoming unconscious was an issue, the bomb had made a whole through the wall.

A big screen of smoke emerged and I could feel the presence that we were going to be interrupted.

The sound of people came quite loud and right when I thought Max and I were in for a fight I heard a thump and three words.

'Gazzy, you son of a bitch!' Sounded like Nudge. Huh. Okay, so it was the Flock.

Another thump was noticeable and I quickly whirled around.

Oh God, it was Max.

Screw Katie's situation, my Max was nearly out of breath.

I knelt down beside her and picked up her body in my arms.

A loud cough distinctly came from her throat as she began to open her eyes again.

Her lips twitched and she scrunched her nose. 'I think I smell Gazzy…' She laughed for a bit and I joined her.

'Don't scare me like that again okay?' I asked her firmly.

'Promise.' She simple replied.

'OH MY GAWDS MAX! Are you okay?'

The smoke finally cleared and out popped the rest of our Flock, Ella, and Total.

'I'm alright Nudge-' Max turned her head facing Katie. '-Ooh, but she isn't.'

'Who is that?' Ella asked, with a little bit of terror in her voice.

'Someone who is willing to give us help. Or was, before SOMEONE bombed half the place up.' Giving the death glare to Iggy and Gazzy, Max stood up.

'Ah crap!' Immediately, her legs were shaking and she nearly fell flat on her arse again.

Because of how incredibly fast and strong I am however, I caught her on time.

'Looks like someone bombed you in half.' Iggy smirked and chuckled.

'I can carry you for a bit, it's okay.' Her face lowered a bit at my reply, but she nodded her head.

My attention was quickly drawn to Iggy. 'Yo, you can carry Katie.'

He raised an eyebrow. 'Who?'

'The blond chick unconscious on the floor. There's kinda only one of them here.'

Iggy shrugged his shoulders and walked towards her. 'Whatever.'

'Max, what do we do now?'

Now that she spoke, Angel was kind of quiet. I wonder if her and Max were thinking to each other…

'No we weren't Fang. It's strange how I can only read your mind and not anyone else's.'

'Wait, you can what?' Gazzy said, sounding curious.

'Never mind that now Gaz.' I directed at him. 'We gotta get out of here before Jeb find us.'

This made Max shudder so I gave her a thought.

I won't let them take you.

She smiled and nodded her head once more.

'Ig, how are you holding up?' I asked him.

'Gah, she's so heavy! What does she eat, rocks?' All of us rolled our eyes including Total.

'Why is your head missing some?' The dog retorted back. (AN: It doesn't take a genius to figure out that, that scene came from one of the MR books)

'C'mon guys, let's fly. Well you can. Mr. Tall, Dark and Darker has to carry me.' Max grumbled.

'Uh, hello?' Ella shouted out.

'Hi Ella. How are you? Can we finish this talk later?' Max said sarcastically.

'No! Who's gonna carry me?' She sounded a little disappointed actually.

'Oh…'

Max's POV

'Oh…' I plainly said. Well it's not like I had planned for Katie to just collapse.

'You know what…?' My mind was having a turn around. 'I think I'm fine to fly.'

Is she crazy?! If she can't walk how does she know if she can fly?

'Fang, I'm fine. You can carry Katie and Iggy can carry Ella instead.'

Fine- seeing as how much they like it.

I smirked at him and directed my attention to the Flock.

'Okay guys, U & A.'

Fang picked up Katie and same with Iggy and Ella.

'Man, Iggy is right.' He commented to himself.

'Just unfurl your wings.' I angled back at him.

All of us then embraced our freedom, picked up into the sky, and were on the run once more.

Ahh… another chapter, another day.

Again, so sorry it took so long to get up! And thanks to my friend who helped me give some ideas which wouldn't be possible.

Some of her twistful ideas will come up in upcoming chapters… hehe.

Hopefully the next post will be sooner than this one.

Unlikely cause my holidays are coming to a close.

Maybe I just won't do my school work…

On second thought I don't want to die at such a young age.

StalkerOfFang out.
