A/N:
Thanks so much Sarcastic4195 and Lost Calamity for the reviews!! I'm
glad you liked it, 'cause the first chapter, with to romance, is
something I don't really like. But someone liked it, so it must have
been okay! So, this chapter will introduce the Twilight characters.
BTW, this is after Final Warning and Breaking Dawn. But pretend the
flock never became famous. Enjoy!
-twi XD
I
stared up at the white ceiling, silently freaking out. Way to many
times had I woken up in some strange place, but it's not something
you ever really got used to. I took a deep breath through my nose,
and instantly froze.
The smell. The antiseptic
smell. Now I was really starting to freak. The last thing I
remembered was being in some cave with the flock. The flock! Oh no,
where were they?
Only then did I become more aware of my
surroundings. I felt like crap, for starters. Also, there was an
annoying beeping sound somewhere to my left, that had the same beat
as my heart. There was an IV in my left hand, and I leaned over to
rip it out.
Before I could though, I heard someone on the other
side of me take a deep breath. I whipped my head around, and then
immediately relaxed. Fang. He was fast asleep in a hard plastic
chair.
But hold on.... If Fang was here, next to me, than I must
not be at the School. If Fang was here, than where is here?
"Fang,"
I whispered, trying to ignore the scenes of deja vu. "Fang!"
"Whaa," He stirred, almost falling out of his chair.
His eyes opened, and he looked relieved. "Max! You're awake."
I was confused now. How long had I been asleep? When I voiced
the question, he replied with "About three days."
Well
crap, that's a long time. "Fang, where are we? What happened?"
Fang just stared at me for a moment, before he spoke. "What
do you mean what happened? Don't you remember?"
"The
only thing I remember is taking first watch in that cave," I
said. I searched for another memory, something that would explain
what was happening now.
"Yeah, you took first watch,"
Fang said, his face clear of emotion, like always. "You were
sitting at the mouth of the cave, at the very edge. The rest of us
had all fallen asleep. You had a brain attack in the middle of the
night, and you fell off the end of the cave. You're screaming woke us
up, and I flew after you, but I couldn't get to you in time. I .... I
thought you were dead. I've never been so scared in my life," He
ended in a whisper. He looked up at me, and I was shocked to see his
normally dead looking eyes show emotions. Hurt, sadness, guilt, but
also immense happiness that I seemed to be okay.
"Where are
we Fang? Where's the flock?" That was the most important thing
to me; the flock's safety.
"We're in a hospital, in Forks,
Washington. A teeny town about ten minutes form where you crashed.
Don't worry," He said, reading my expression. "the kids are
getting something to eat right now, but they're here. We haven't left
your side except for meals."
"So what's the story?"
I'll need to know that incase doctors start asking me questions.
"We
stuck with the missionary parent thing. The Rest of the flock are
your siblings, and I'm your, um, boyfriend."
I stared at
him in shock. Boyfriend?!
What the hell! "And
why, may I ask, could you not have been part of the family too?"
I asked coldly.
He almost smiled. "Because, Max, we
shouldn't use the same story to much. Undercover, remember?"
I
huffed, and shifted my body farther away from him. That made me
wince, though. Instantly, the humor was gone from Fang's face,
replaced with worry.
"Don't move around to much, Max.
You've been healing for the passed three days, but you're not
completely healed yet. I should probably call the doctor in, since
you're awake now."
I didn't much like that idea, but I kept
my mouth shut as Fang reached over and pressed the button to call the
doctor. As we waited in silence for the doctor to come, I was struck
with a thought.
"Fang, does the whole hospital know about
the wings?" He shook his head, but as he opened his mouth to
speak, he was interrupted by the door opening. In walked the doctor,
and my jaw dropped. I snapped it closed quickly, but continued to
stare at the man. He was one of the most gorgeous people I have ever
met. Pale skin, blonde hair, (A/N:
is that right?)
strange-but-beautiful golden eyes. He could make millions as a model.
Even his voice was beautiful, I realized as he spoke.
"Hello,
Max. My name is Dr Cullen. It's nice to see you awake. Your family
has been very worried about you." His smile was so damn sinsire,
I almost smiled back. Almost. Sure, He might look absolutely
drop-dead gorgeous, but this is still me
we're talking about. So, as me, I just glared at him, trying not to
freak as I finally registered the fact that he was wearing a white
coat. I know, I'm pretty slow.
"Um, well," He
stuttered, looking a tad alarmed at my glare. "So, I'm sure you
want to hear about you injuries."
"Oh, yes," I
practically snarled back. "Hearing about my near death
experience, now that sounds like real fun."
Fang grinned,
whereas Dr Cullen looked shocked. "Yes, well," He cleared
his throat. "You had a cracked skull, broken arm, leg, and, er,
wing." I froze. Hadn't Fang said that the hospital didn't know?
"Don't worry," Dr Cullen said softly, which, call me crazy,
immediately made me worry. "I'm the only one who knows. I don't
think you would want everybody finding out you have wings, now do
you?"
"Uh... no," I said faintly. "Thank
you."
He smiled a warm smile. "You're welcome. Now,
the bones have mended - you heal very fast - but you won't have your
strength back for, with the way your body works, I'd say about a day.
Now, your family has been staying here while you were unconscious,
and that's perfectly fine, but I would like to know where you all
plan to staying when you leave the hospital. See, even after another
day's rest, you will not be able to go, ah, fly off anywhere."
I stared at him. Besides the slight stuttering, he spoke quite
casually, like any kid would go fly off somewhere. I decided this guy
was okay. Then I remembered that he had asked a question. "Well,
not that it's really your business, but no, we don't have somewhere
to stay. Why should you care?" I said that he was okay, not that
I liked him or something crazy like that.
He seemed unaffected
by my harshness. "My wife Esme, would be thrilled if you and
your family would stay with us. And so would I." I know what
your thinking. Doesn't this sound oh so familiar? One of the flock
winding up in the hospital, and some nice acting person coming to us
with an offer to take us home. I smiled sweetly back at him. "That
is a very nice gesture, but I would have to ask the rest of my
fl-family. I think, though, that the answer will be no."
"I
understand. Sometimes it's hard - especially for someone like you -
to know when to trust people." Well, at least he seemed to
understand that. "Would you like me to tell your siblings that
they can visit now?"
Fang nodded his head, and Dr Cullen
left. I felt joy that I was seeing my flock. I knew that must have
been worried. I took a deep breath as the flock burst in, huge smiles
on their faces.
A/N: Was it any good? I know Fang talked to much, but he was the only other person in the room, and someone had to explain things to Max. Reviews are loved!
