Me: Max, can you do the opening please?

Max: No, you let the flock come to my house.

Me: But I did it to keep the story going.

Max: Ugh! Fine! Luna doesn't own any MR characters, JP does. Happy?

Me: Yes.

Chapter 6

Fang's POV

When that little girl said house, it was an understatement. I mean my god. This was like a mansion mixed with a castle. I couldn't help but gape.

"Come inside!"

We walked inside with her and I heard Max's voice from somewhere else in the house. I was aware of the bump on my head that I got when she knocked me out. It was fading quickly, but you could still see it. I saw Max come in and watched as she gasped. Instantly she started screaming.

"How dare you come into my house!" I smirked.

"Technically, we were invited." She screamed and I stood in front of the little kids, waiting for the blow to come, but it never did.

Max's POV

I screamed in rage; this was the final straw. I lunged at Fang but never got far enough. Someone had come behind me and grabbed my waist.

"Max! Calm down!" It was Hunter. I turned around, my eyes no doubtingly blood-red.

"You know what they did to me! They deserve it!"

"Max, violence won't help it." I was seeing more red- my gosh I didn't even know this shade was a color. Man if looks could kill- wait, mine can. I looked over at Fang and made him start to float. I was about to send a lightning bolt at him but Hunter put a hand over my eyes.

"Max, we just finished redoing the front room. Please don't destroy it again." I laughed. Last week I had gotten mad at Xander for eating the last chocolate chip cookie and chased him through the house. I finally cornered him in the front room and I may or may not have let lightning bolts loose and left burn marks on the walls.

"Let me go Hunter." But instead of letting me go he walked me into the kitchen. I heard him tell the flock to stay there. He brought me in and put me on the table.

"Max, calm down; your eyes are almost bleeding red." I looked in the mirror; dang I was scary. I breathed in and out until my eyes were back to normal.

"What are they doing here!?" Hunter shook his head.

"I don't know, but let's find out. I'm going to go invite them to the living room and ask them. DO you want to come or are you going to explode again." I felt my cheeks blush as I smiled.

"I'm fine. Let's go." We walked into the living room as I called Valentine, Xander, Damon, and Snow. Then I told Hunter to call them in here. I saw them come in and started seeing red again. Fang floated off the floor but then Hunter sat beside me and squeezed my hand. I let Fang drop. I glared daggers at them as everyone sat down.

"What are you doing here?" They glanced at each other before awnsering.

"When we uh, you know, kicked you out (I glared harder when they said this) erasers came and attacked us. And we realized it was wrong to kick you out, and we're sorry." Something inside me snapped.

"You're sorry!? Are you kidding?! I was taken to the school because you kicked me out! I suffered because you kicked me out!"

"Max" I heard Hunter say in warning tone; I ignored it.

"And you've come back to say you're sorry!?" Hunter sat me back down on the couch.

"Let me handle this. What do want with Max?" I saw Fang stiffen; good.

"We want you back Max." I laughed; thus was rich.

"Do you guys remember what I said when you kicked me out?" They glanced at each other, obviously they remembered.

"No" I smiled. This was going to be fun. I shoved them all up against the wall. This time Hunter didn't stop me. I walked over to them.

"Let me refresh your memory; I said I wouldn't take you back, and that offer still stands. Since you said you're sorry, I'm willing to forgive you. But forgiveness and trust is earned; you didn't earn it after saying you're sorry for kicking me to the curb. Work at it, and maybe I'll forgive you. But right now, you're leaving." I let the fall to the floor and pointed to the door. I hope they didn't notice that my hand was shaking.

As soon as they left I collapsed against Hunter in a pile of sobs. He leaned against my head and hugged me, telling me it was going to be ok, but I knew it wouldn't be. Not with the flock in town. Soon I felt everyone else come and hug. I quickly backed up and swallowed my sobs. I'm not a "group hug" kind of person. After a while I let them talk me into having the flock stay in the guest bedroom. Somehow Valentine had gotten their number and she called them. I made sure I was in the other room when they came in. Snow showed them the guest room as I sat in the kitchen. I called them all in the living room after half an hour.

"Now that your living here, I have rules that you have to follow." Fang smirked and I looked at him.

"My house my rules.

First rule: Come in my room without me inviting you, you die.

Second rule: Eat the last chocolate chip cookie and I'm not responsible for any harm that might come to you.

Final rule: Do anything bad and you're gone. Got it?" I looked at each of them as they nodded.

"That's all." I hugged Hunter as they left, wondering how I was going to get through this.
