I have not failed to update! Aren't you proud of me?

Fang: Not really. We don't care 'bout you. These people came to read about me.

Me: Maybe you won't be in this chapter. After all, I do control your fate. MUHAHAHAHHA

Fang: Can I please be in this chapter? *bats eyelashes*

Me: Whatever. I do not own Maximum Ride, and if you thought I did, slap for you.

Xander POV

I walked into the front hall, and instantly two dogs were trying to jump on my. "Halt" ((A/N: If Xander says something to an animal in italics it means she speaking directly to the animal. One of her powers. Now READ)) The dogs froze, and sat. "Hello, Nana, and Jesse. Nice dogs." I said. Max gave me a look like 'What in hell?'

I laughed, and let her lead me farther into the house.

"A tour?" Max asked. I nodded.

Over the next hour, Max showed me the house. It consisted of like ten bedrooms, and art studio, a music room, a sports room, an awesome kitchen, and tons of other cool rooms. Finally we were at the sliding glass doors that led out to the patio. I stopped before she opened it, and gasped. Behind the huge pool and lawn, was the forest. "That's the sanctuary!" I was excited.

"Yeah. It is, We don't go in there often." Max said. I wonder why, but not for long. It was right next to the wolf section, I could tell. In my excitement, I threw open the door, rushing hastily out, only to stop dead, nose twitching. Something was out there. I located it, but I couldn't see it. I swung my foot forward, and felt it connect solidly. There was a grunt of pain, and suddenly a boy was visible. And in his visibility he was flying inot the pool. He landed with a splash, and came up coughing a moment later. Max laughed from beside me. The boy had pitch black hair, olive skin, and was dressed in all black. He glared at me.

"Who the f*ck are you!" He demanded, floating up and down.

"What were you doing there?" I countered.

"I was going to push Max in, duh!" Max snorted.

"I'm Xander, and you are a creep." I bent over, and offered him a hand. He took it, but gave a giant tug, and pulled my in beside him. I transformed in the water, hidden by bubbles. I came up snarling, looking fierce. He yelped, and leapt out of the pool, and straight into Max's arms.

MAX POV

I looked down at the sopping wet Fang in my arms, and then at the wolf Xander in my pool. I shook my head, and dropped Fang on his butt. "You afraid of a little puppy?" I teased. Xander changed back, and started swimming around, enjoying her self. Fang gave an indignent huff. ((I can't spell for crap!)) I laughed.

"What time is it, Max?" Xander asked, climbing out of the pool. I looked down at my watch.

"2 o'clock. Why?"

"Crap! I have to go to work!" She ran into the house, and up to the bedroom I had assigned her. I sighed. I raised an eyebrow at Fang.

"Dump me in, huh?" He shook his hair, spraying me with water.

Fang POV

I had finally gotten dry, and was waiting by the front door. Visible. Max walked past me, a huge bowl of popcorn in one hand, and a litter of coke in the other. She stopped, and glanced at the clock on the wall. Six.

"I wonder what time Xander will be back?" Oh yeah, that chick. She then looked at me. "What are you doing?" I smiled evily.

"Waiting for my girl friend." Max rolled her eyes. She hated Lissa, but I didn't know why. Lissa was nothing but nice to her.

Just then, the front door opened. But it wasn't Lissa. It was JJ, and behind her, Xander.

"Look at this cute little girl I found! She says she knows you, Max." The girls moved away, down the hall. The door opened again, and Lissa walked in, giving me a hug.

"Oh, Fangy. This is going to be so much fun. A party!" I kissed her, and showed her out to the patio.

MAX POV

I watched as Fang passed, with that thing on his arm. This was not going to be fun. Xander snarled as they passed, as if she knew that this would be bad. Lissa looked at Xander, just as her fangs were coming out. I shoved a handful of popcorn in her mouth, and her fangs receded.

"What is she?" xander asked, disgusted.

"Fangs girlfriend." I said with a shudder. From beside me, JJ called after them,

"We can do a bon fire and burn her at the stake!" We laughed, and continued putting up decorations up
