Bitch

Brigid Dwyer watched in horror as Maximum Ride sat up in the view of her bedroom window. As a human, Brigid couldn't have seen that from the woods she stood in but as luck would have it, Mr. Chu had fit her with a robotic arm and eye before his "untimely" death.

She focused in past the glint of the light on the window to find the sixteen-year-old monster holding a blanket against her bare chest and smirking. Fang came into view now without a shit and Brigid frowned, Abraham would not like this at all.

For the past year Brigid knew it was only a matter of time before the two got back together. They both had a death wish and teenage hormones. Brigid smirked with a pleasurable realization, now she had permission to kill Max and her precious flock. Except Fang, Abraham had special plans for his son that Brigid didn't know about.

Unable to stand watching the two teens kiss and hold each other, Brigid back further into the forest to find her leader already there. Abraham had clearly witnessed what just happened. He appeared disgusted. "I hate the world today." He rarely showed emotion, like Fang, but Brigid saw his cold eyes were narrowed and his lips pressed into a thin line. He was furious.

"Shall we kill her now?" Brigid asked, crossing her arms and trying not to sound too excited. She had been waiting for over a year to get her revenge on Maximum Ride. Her back was turned away from the home so she couldn't see what was happening and lost control of her anger. Anything that involved Max's happiness infuriated Brigid.

Abraham sighed, "Let us wait, we need more forces that what we have against her. My son and Maximum will learn to never take my threats lightly- time is all we need." Brigid smiled, she could wait a bit longer. "We'll let them believe they're safe, I have special plans for them."

I slipped into regular clothes to get ready for the day. Fang only had his clothes from the night before so when he left my bedroom he was still dressed as the same dark angel. Just as he was about to shut my door, trouble broke loose.

"Oh crap, no fair!" I heard Iggy's voice and stepped outside to see that Fang was at his bedroom door and Iggy in the hall exiting his own room. He noticed Fang's attire and stared up at me, "Not cool at all! You two-." Iggy shook his head in shame at us just as Ella's bedroom door opened.

"What's going on?" Iggy lifted an accusing finger between Fang and me. I was blushing when Ella's mouth dropped open, "Oh, I see." She walked over to Iggy and smacked him- hard. "Be happy for them and shut up before my mom hears you! Don't you realize that if they get in trouble so do we…even if we aren't sleeping together!" Ella had whispered this but it was still kind of a yell for us bird-kids with super hearing. That shut Iggy up fast though. If Fang and I were caught, we wouldn't be the only ones punished. Ella coaxed her hand into Iggy's and lead him downstairs.

Fang was smiling lightly and I stood next to him and whispered, "How come you didn't turn invisible?" I teased him while my breath pushed against the strands of his black hair. Today we didn't have school because it was the weekend so we weren't in a rush. I kissed Fang's cheek and I got this longing, loving look in his eyes, "You look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath."

"You are," he said with a bird-like shrug that hinted to the fact that it was obvious I was an angel. Fang loved me so much sometimes that I swear in his mind I could do no wrong but…then again…we wouldn't have fought so much and argued. Deep down, he loved me more than I loved him I think because I partially loved the flock. Not as much as Fang, don't get me wrong but I think Fang really, only, truly loved me and then slightly loved the flock because I did. "And don't say otherwise because I'm in heaven around you." He had opened the door to his room but he remained standing in the hall with me.

"Sorry," I gave him a playful smile as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed us closely together. "But angel doesn't fit into my image. And I prefer if you don't try to save me…I'd rather just be Max." He kissed my lips.

God, I loved that.

Loved him.

"Good, because angels are overrated compared to you." I smiled wider as he stepped back into his room. I went in with him and shut the door behind him. He tossed his jacket on the desk, just standing in the black tux pants and red shirt.

He was amazing, the way he smiled whenever I was around to see it sent my heart into a pulsing race. "You know," I began leaning my back against the frame of the door so the wood was right between the spot in between my wings. "You wouldn't want it any other way."

Outside the window I saw the fading colors of the tree turning to brow. The season's already changing. In California I thought we wouldn't get much snow but we're on a mountain which apparently, changes everything. I enjoyed that though.

When Fang finished changing, we walked downstairs holding hand in hand. The rest of the flock was still asleep. Iggy moped about because he and Ella hadn't done anything as serious as Fang and I. Ella was happy because she thought it meant I would be all right. With Fang, that was true to say about me.

Fang's hand warm in mine and the promise of today, we stepped outside into the last warm day of the year before the weather began to drop. In a place like our town there was nowhere to go because it was so small but with wings, the possibilities are endless. Why do anything, actually, when you can fly? We flew out to a river nearby and sat in the sun, just being ourselves, not worrying about the flock and what they were doing. We were all growing up now. Soon, my life would once again be in danger just for loving the boy that I did.

Resting on Fang's chest, hearing him breath this close to me again made that problem seem like nothing. If I could have him, Fang, than I would face the ends of the world until I died just so I could hold him one more time. Because I couldn't live without his rare smiles, the electric pulse of our skin connecting, or the soft, warm kisses that sunk into something more. I was wonderful, amazing, and happy now. Isn't that what mattered? And I smiled when Fang kissed me because I could only think of one thing.

Can't say I'm not alive.
