Max's P.O.V.

About an hour after my tears had dried up and I'm still sitting my head on Fang's shoulder and my arms holding him tightly.

Fang stroked my hair, his cheek resting on my head and I will admit that I felt safe in his arms, I guess that's why I didn't pull away because I actually liked having him holding me.

Nudge was still fast asleep in the back so the only sound in the car was our breathing and the occasional shuffle when Nudge moved. It was a comforting silence that neither of us wanted to break so we didn't move in fact I'm pretty sure I fell asleep because when I woke up I was in the back seat with Nudge once again driving and Fang in the passenger seat.

"What's the time?" I asked groggily when I sat up.

Nudge smiled at me, "Good morning Max!" She sang happily and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's nine." Fang told me, "We're gonna stop for something to eat soon."

"Kay." I sighed, lying back down and staring up at the ceiling. My eyes were really itchy but I figured that was from the copious amounts of crying I'd done last night.

I don't know why but something felt different now. Something between Fang and I had changed I just couldn't put my finger on it. I decided it would be best not to distract myself with my thoughts and concentrated on our current situation. Thanks to my little fainting act yesterday we were in a little bit of a sticky situation. There was no telling how far or close to us the Hunters were and we didn't have a plan. Where do we go now? Keep on the move or stop and wait for them? I really didn't like either idea.

"You got another call today." I tensed when Nudge said this and shot up.

"What?"

Fang's P.O.V.

Smooth Nudge, real smooth. I had to hold back an eye-roll when Nudge just blurted it out. We'd spent an hour and a half discussing whether we should even tell her or not. I shook my head minutely and she glanced at me apologetically.

"You were asleep so Fang answered your phone because it was just so irritating and it was the same guy from yesterday and he said we must go to Washington." She babbled but it took one look from me to shut her up.

Max was on the verge of hyperventilating in the back seat so I turned to face her.

"It's not him, they're just trying to trick me and get us where they want us so they can kill us." Max said finally but we both knew that she didn't believe that.

"It was him Max." I said as carefully as I could.

"No, it wasn't." She insisted with a final expression.

Of course this didn't stop me so instead I opened the small envelope we had just picked up and tipped the contents out.

Max frowned when the paper fell out. "What's that?" She asked.

I unfolded the paper and showed it to her.

She scoffed a few seconds later when she read the first line. The only way to save her.

"And you're telling me you're just going to trust this?" It was easy to tell she was getting miffy she hated even the hint of people saying she was weak but I needed to explain.

"I don't have to because I know its right." I stated simply and she raised an eyebrow waiting for me to explain what that meant. "It's my formula."

Her mouth dropped open before she could stop it but she snapped it shut quickly. "You're formula." She waited for confirmation.

I nodded.

"And when did you come up with this formula?"

"A few weeks ago." I admitted.

"Were you planning on telling me?" She enquired and I shook my head.

"So you were working in this and you just weren't going to tell me?"

I nodded again. "But that's not the point, I burned it Max but he has it which means one of two things."

"Which are?" She ground out thoroughly ticked off by this point.

"Either he's just messing with me and saying he's watching everything I do…" I let that sink in, she seemed pretty happy with that option "or he's saying I must give you wings."

She frowned. "Wings?"

"Uh huh."

Max's P.O.V.

Wings. He could give me wings. Not too sure how I felt about that. My anger seemed to fizzle out the more I thought about the possibility of having beautiful wings like Fang. I shook the thought from my mind. Not going to happen, besides wings wouldn't exactly go well with the fact that I'm scared of heights and they were Fang's thing.

I shook my head and gave the paper back to Fang who was now fiddling with something around his neck.

I watched him in confusion for a while before he sighed and untied a black cord from around his neck with a tiny silver vial held to it by a small clasp.

He held it out for me and said, "If you change your mind."

Ok, I needed to lie down again. I didn't want to take it, I wanted to just get rid of it but the way Fang was looking at me made me take it without a word.

OoOoOoO

It was close to midnight now, we were camped out in a forest this time just outside a small town. We'd unanimously agreed that we'd stay as far away from hotels as possible. Both Fang and Nudge were fast asleep right now, I was meant to wake Fang up to take over watch but I was too keyed up to sleep so I figured I'd just take the whole night and catch a few Z's in the car. I would hear about it tomorrow when Fang and Nudge realised I hadn't woken either of them up but I'd deal with that later. Right now I was more focused on the vial Fang gave me earlier. I was tempted to drink it just to see what happened but then the rational side of my mind stopped me from doing it. I will admit that I wasn't concentrating that hard on my surroundings but I was pretty sure I'd hear anything dangerous. Yeah, that was strike one. Strike two was unstrapping my knives. Now we'd been driving for two days straight, I figured we'd put enough space between us and the Hunters to relax for just a few hours so I leant back against the tree I was sitting by and closed my eyes. Strike three.

I didn't even hear them, not a single twig snapping alerted me to their presence until they were on top of us, five of them in all varying in ages. Two were no doubt in their first year by the crazed bloodthirsty look in their eyes but others were closer to my age and had much more control sticking just out of sight but close enough that I could just see their silhouettes.

Fang and Nudge were still fast asleep much to my surprise. Nudge had sharp hearing but Iggy had always been the best out of all of us. Now my eyes flicked to my knives just out of reach to the two guns aimed at my head and chest and the other three knives glinting in the light. This time, I was not going to live but I'd be damned if I didn't do all I could to protect Fang Nudge. I just needed Nudge to wake up so she could get Fang and herself out. I could feel their eyes on me as the two with the guns walked forward into the light. I didn't move an inch just watched them very closely.

Hello everyone! I apologise profusely for the lack of updates for what? Two weeks? I was just so stumped! You have no idea how many times I've written and rewritten and re-rewritten this stupid chappie and I'm still not happy with it!

idea's are seriously needed guys! Just think of it like this, if you were the author of this fic what would you have happen next? I have a few more tricks up my sleeve to keep you entertained but I need idea's!

If I get lotz and lotz of reviews I'll start the real Fax but until that day comes… I am sad to say that there will only be little moments that don't mean anything.

I'm cruel, what can I say? lol. I'm actually pretty proud of myself, this is the longest that I've kept Fax out of a story. EVER. That's quite a feat for me considering I luv fax.

oh and I'm adding a few more characters since most I can't use anymore e.g. Dylan, JJ, Lisa etc. so reviewers 5 and 15 (Yes I'm aiming high and hoping that I'll get reviews) will be introduced into this story.
So, you have work to do! Press that little button and says REVIEW and write me summin! Anything! Even if it dusn't make sense! Pwease?

REVIEWS=LUV

LUV=INSPIRATION

INSPIRATION=UPDATES!
