Fang POV

My eyes cracked open. The first thing I saw was the cave ceiling. I gave a relieved sigh knowing that I hadn't been kidnapped or killed overnight. Slowly, I sat up and looked at the mouth of the cave. A giant thunder storm was raging outside.

"Sure am happy I didn't end up sleeping outside last night." I said. The rest of the occupants of the cave were asleep, but Josh.

"I'm going out for a little fly." He smirked and jumped out of the cave. He must have free fell for a while because I could hear the sound of wings whipping open after a couple of seconds. Josh came back into view, but he flew right into the huge black cloud.

"Wow. He must have had some crazy pills for breakfast." I muttered.

"Actually, he is going out to get us breakfast." Xavier smiled from his bed. "Good morning, Fang." He sat up and looked at me. "Why did you choose that name? Fang… It sounds so… deadly." He took a deep breath and jumped out of his bed. Slipping on his shoes, he walked over to me and sat on the couch.

"Oh… yeah breakfast." I gave a small smirk. The smirk that used to drive Max crazy… Forget it, Fang. You had to leave. It's not like you were left by them; that would have been heart breaking. I mean, think about it. You are telling the girl you love how much you love her and then they leave. Oh God… that's what Max thinks I did… It felt like a punch in the gut to come to this conclusion. I would have died on the inside if Max left me for no reason. And to her, I left her for no reason. My heart leapt out of my chest, ran to the cave opening, and jumped off. She is going to kill me, I am so—

"FANG!" Xavier yelled. I snapped out of my little trance and looked down at Xavier who was shaking his head. "I said your name like five times. What happened?"

"Nothing. Just thinking." I said coolly. Way to make a fool out of yourself, Fang!

He chuckled, "Well, why did you choose the name Fang?"

"It sounded cool. Also, people who were fighting me didn't want to be fighting someone named… Pebbles. Who do you think would win a fight? Fang or Pebbles?" I looked down at him, keeping a serious face. Xavier on the other hand, was laughing.

Xavier fell to the ground clutching his side, "Pebbles!" He laughed. "Never in my life would I have fought a person name Pebbles! So you're saying that you chose between Fang and Pebbles for your name?" Tears were coming out of his eyes, he was laughing so hard.

"No! I was just using a random name. It was between Fang and… wow. That's really cool." I blinked in confusion. I was going to call myself Hawk, but I thought that Fang was cooler.

"What? What's cool? What were you going to call yourself?" Xavier got up from the floor and sat back down on the couch.

"I was going to call myself Hawk, but I stopped and thought of Fang instead. Good thing, because that would be so weird; me having your sisters name." I smiled and looked at Xavier who cocked his head to the side.

"Wow. That is cool." He smiled, "You guys would have been boy Hawk and girl Hawk."

"Did someone call me?" Hawk stood behind the couch. Xavier and I jumped. Neither of us had heard her get up. Hawk raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes. "Boys…" She muttered as she walked back to her bed and grabbed a hoodie. Hawk looked at Janie, who was still fast asleep in her bed. "Xavier, go get a jacket on. It's cold up here and the last thing I need is you complaining all day. Fang, do you need a hoodie?" She looked at me as Xavier got up and pulled a sweat jacket out of a backpack.

"Uhmmm… sure." I said. Hawk walked over to her backpack, and pulled out a boy's jacket.

"I found it in a good will thing. It was too small for Josh, but too big for Xavier. I kept it because it fit me. I think it will fit you." She threw the black hoodie at me. I shrugged and put it on.

I nodded and zippered it up, "It fits fine." She looked at me and smiled.

"Josh should be coming back with breakfast soon. I think he goes to the supermarket a couple miles away. I really hope he took a jacket." She sat down on her bed and leaned back on the headboard.

"He didn't." Xavier and I said at the same time. Josh flew out in a dark blue t-shirt.

Hawk shook her head and closed her eyes. What time is it? I was still extremely tired, and so were the others. It was complete silence in the cave. The only thing you could hear was the pitter-patter of rain falling at the opening of the cave. 'Woah' could be heard from Xavier every time lighting flashed across the black sky. My eyes were fluttering closed when Janie screamed. She woke up and obviously, Janie hated thunder.

Sleep was basically out of the question when Janie woke up. She was like Nudge. She didn't shut up. My heart clenched at the thought of Nudge. I left my little sister, she is probably annoying Max to death. I sighed. Every thought came back to Max. I closed my eyes and sighed.

Fang, I will eat you if you cry in front of them. I thought to myself. Damn, I'm weird…

A few minutes later, Janie stopped talking and laid back down. Again, the only thing we heard was the thunder and rain… it was so calm.

Max POV

Why the hell do I end up flying in the middle of the biggest thunder storm I had ever seen? Because I am stubborn and thought I could do anything because I had a lead on where Fang was. Whoever is reading this, I give you permission to hit me upside the head later on. I was practically blinded by the dark skies. I reached North Dakota so I had to start flying in the clouds when I saw houses.

Are you one of those people that always wanted to touch a cloud? Well I have. It's not all rainbows and sunshine when you touch it. No, it's wet, cold, and one of the most unpleasant things to be in while flying. Dodging lighting is not fun my friend.

You know what else I hate about clouds? You can't see jack-shit. You are blinded the whole time, not only by the rain that flies into your eyes, but the mist is too thick.

It. Sucks.

You know what sucks more? When you run into something in the middle of a cloud. And that something happens to be winged.

SMACK!

Both, mystery person and I were falling from the sky at major speed. When I collided with this mystery person, I smashed my head into his elbow.

Knocking head into elbow = unconscious Max.

I free fell for a minute, which is a really scary thing. I felt like I was watching my body fall. The person I collided with swooped down and caught me. I looked up at their face and saw a guy. He looked older than me, but no more than twenty-two. He looked down at me with green eyes.

"Don't worry, I am taking you somewhere safe." He screamed over the thunder.

I nodded and passed out again.
