So I'm trying to do proper grammar where you start a new paragraph with a new speaker.

I dunno, I like big paragraphs and it bugs me when there's a one line separation.

So I hope this is better for reading

Review with you thoughts

Enjoy!


Jace slid down into the crater and stood beside me. Fang only glanced at him for a second before his still piercing and annoyed eye traced off to the side again. But Jace still eyed him warily. "You want to tell me what's going on?" He whispered to me. And as usual, I didn't answer him. "Of course not." He sighed. I couldn't explain to him until I talked to Fang.

"Could you give us a second Jace?" I asked loud enough for Fang to hear. I shot him a –you better talk to me or your dead- look and just as I suspected, his ability to read my every stare hadn't faltered. He opened his wings with crossed arms and pushed into the air, about 10 feet off the ground to before stopping to wait for me. I opened my wings to follow but Jace caught my arm first.

"Two minutes," He said slowly into my ear. "That's all you get before I come after you." He paused for a bit, glaring a look up at Fang. "And I'm sending Crest to spy on you." He added after a bit.

"Fine, but he has to stay 20 feet away at all times." I snapped. Jace nodded. He let go of my arm and I surged into the air past Fang who followed, beating his wings to match mine. It was a bit reassuring that even after two years we were still in sync.

We flew at least 500 feet in the air, but I could still hear the distant beating of Crest's wings behind me. I wouldn't be able to talk to Fang like this if Jace was spying on me. I suddenly grabbed Fang's wrist. He tried to pry it away for a second before I muttered the word "Fly."


Within the second, we took off and flew at least 150 mph, leaving my family behind for a bit. I knew that Crest would tell Jace, meaning we only had till Jace found me again. It's not like he could teleport to me if he didn't know where I was.

We finally stopped, hovering in the air for a bit. I turned to face Fang. Now that he was actually looking at me it seemed his glare had softened a bit. I didn't speak for a long time, so to my shock he did.

"Did you drag me out here for nothing?" He asked annoyed and lost my gaze again, his stares becoming harsher.

"No, I wanted to talk." I told him now angry to. If this was what trying to talk to me was like, Jeb had gained a millimeter of respect. He crossed his arms and looked at me expectantly. He was still closed off.

"If you think I'm going to attack you or something, I'm not." I said rather annoyed, but it seemed to make him snap a bit.

"I didn't think you were going to up and leave, but you did that." He said, finally letting his darker glares rest on me. " Didn't you?"

"Well that's what I wanted to talk about Fang. Because I didn't, and really you can't be talking about leaving?" I snapped back, losing my patience.

"At least I did it for a good reason, and left a note so you wouldn't have searched for weeks on end." He shot at me. I didn't realize we were getting closer and closer.

"I would've searched anyway!" I yelled.

"And I wouldn't?" I paused for a bit. I guess the thought had never occurred to me that some of them would even bother looking for me.

"Did you?" I asked hesitantly, slightly hoping the answer was yes. He seemed taken a back, but he hid it well. We were right in each others face and he noticed, surging backwards, putting a good three feet between us.

"Think what you what, Max." He said a bit quieter. We didn't look at each other for the longest time. But if I didn't get out what I wanted to, then I would never get to.


"Look, think about the person who told you I left." I told him. "It was Angel wasn't it?" I guessed right, at least that's what he told me. But he didn't show any signs that I had even guessed right. "Then think about me. You know me, and do you think I would have done something like that?" I asked him. He pondered for a minute before giving his answer.

"I thought I knew you for more than ten years Max. Funny how everything I thought I knew disappeared over just two." He said seriously. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"Listen to me. And really listen." I tried to get closer and luckily he didn't move away. "Angel has been manipulating everyone. She manipulated the flock to think I left, and she manipulated me to thinking you guys kicked me out." I explained. "I don't know what side she's playing for, maybe her own, but we can't let her win." I said. But he just looked at me for a bit.

"What do you want from me?" He asked, half sarcastically but uncrossing his arms. He was opening up, if not just a little. It was confusing for even me but I kept my eyes locked with his. It was a familiar feeling, him waiting for me to make the call, and promising to follow through. But I guess that last part was a little different.

I didn't know what came over me, I was not myself. But then again, I never felt like myself when I did this before. I went right up to him, not giving him a chance to pull away and kissed him. And strange enough, he kissed me back. He didn't pull away, but hugged me instead. I guess he missed me as much as I missed him.

When we finally did pull away, he looked at me long and hard. "I'm asking you to trust me." I told him. He started to think and lost my gaze, pulling away a bit. "Do you?" I asked, a little too full of hope.

"I don't know." I heard him mumble. A part of me shattered a bit, but then I guess it had already been broken once, the second time wasn't as bad.

"Then will you try?" I asked him, trying to find a way to get him to believe me.

"Trust is easier to break than to build." He told me. And with people like us, I knew it would be even harder. It was right around there when Jace found me and started to come towards us, but I didn't particularly care. I grabbed Fang's hand and he looked at me curiously. "Then can you stay for a bit. I'll prove it to you." I promised. I didn't get a response because he was too busy trying to dodge a push from Jace.


The punch didn't hit him straight on, but clipped the side of Fang's head. Jace was going to attack again when I caught his arm. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at him.

"Get out of here." Jace yelled at Fang, ignoring me.

"Jace cut it out!" I shouted at him but Crest grabbed me wrist, sneaking up from behind me. "Max, what were you thinking?" He asked me, mildly shocked.

"I was thinking you had better let go before I cut of your hands and shove them down your throat." I yelled at him before yelling at Jace again. "Quit it!"

Jace turned to face me sharply, his eyes flaming again. It was funny how Fang seemed to make everyone rallied up. "You think I'm going to quit it when you take of with this fanatic?" He yelled at me. I could see Fang's mouth sarcastically forming the word "Ouch."

"Well suck it Jace, because he's staying." I snapped. He paused for the longest time. Then he looked at me entirely seriously.

"No way in hell." He said slowly before turning to Fang. "Get lost." He snapped, but no duh, Fang didn't move. I could see Jace getting frustrated when he turned back to me. "We're leaving, Crest deal with it". He said annoyed and Crest nodded. He waited till Jace grabbed my list to charge at Fang.

Luckily for me, someone was on my side.


"Oh please, Jace. Stop being so cliché." Scholar snapped and appeared in front of Crest. She stopped him easily by kicking him hard under the knee. Crest cringed but Scholar caught his arm and pulled him up, making sure he didn't drop.

"Scholar, you're supposed to be watching the others." Jace snapped at her, to busy focusing on her to teleport with me.

"Them? They'll be fine. You guys are the ones acting like five year-olds." She snapped before shrugging Crest off and making him fly on his own. I snatched my wrist from Jace's grasp as the two started to argue.

I made my way over to Fang who was looking off to the side with his arms crossed. "You are staying right?" I whispered. He looked at me for a bit before shaking his head. I could feel my eyes going wide and opened my mouth to speak, but he put his hand up for me to wait.

"I'm going to find Angel. If what you said is true, then I'll need to get everyone else." He told me. Maybe he did trust me a bit.

"But how do you know they'll trust you. And where are you going to find her?" I asked. He shrugged for a bit.

"I don't know if they'll believe me, but at least I know where to find them." He said and pointed to his temple. "Guess who's been trying to get into my head for the past couple of days." He said and I smiled a bit. It didn't occur to me that the other's had gone silent.

"Uh, problem with finding that Angel girl." Crest said, catching my attention. I noticed all three of them looking upwards, Jace and Crest hesitantly but Scholar actually looked amused.

"She already found you." Scholar said and pointed up to the sky where Angel was emerging from higher up, looking, well, angelic. Three figures were trailing her. Looks like not meeting face to face wasn't going to be an option.
