Chapter 4

Fang POV

It had been just a normal day that had turned into one of the best days of my life. No, strike that, it was the best day of my life. Better than the day we escaped from the School with that traitor Jeb. When I came home to find Max crying and screaming on the couch, fear and panic shot through me. I had rushed over to her and woke her up. I comforted her, and she admitted the nightmares she had been having, and I was surprised that they were about me. I asked her why, and she told me. I was bewildered and happy at the same time. I kissed her, then I said, "I love you." For the first time, not counting the time on the cheek, she kissed me, then, as if I could get any more happy, she said, "I love you, too." I smiled, then kissed her passionately, and things sorta went from there...

All I can say is, yep, that was the best day of my life.


(a/n) Okay so, to those of you who answered my question from the previous chapter, it was a tie between Fang and Max, so I did a short Fang POV, and the rest is Max. On with the story!...


Max POV

All I can say is….wow. A really crappy afternoon had turned into the most amazing night of my life.

When I woke up the next morning, I realized I was lying on Fang's bed. I felt my face turn red when I realized I wasn't alone. I was laying on my side, and Fang's arm was draped over me. I turned my head just enough to see Fang still asleep, with a slight smile on his lips. I smiled, then gently shifted his arm so I could get up. I kissed the tip of his nose before I left the room to change. I went down to the kitchen to attempt to cook breakfast. I decided to make toast so as not to set anything on fire if I used the stove. I ended up burning four out of the seven pieces of toast. Fang walked into the room wearing a black t-shirt (of course) and black shorts just as I was sitting down.

"I thought I smelled smoke," he said, joking.

"Haha, very funny," I said as I took a bite of toast.

"I think I have a new ability," he said suddenly. I looked up at him as he was pouring cereal into a large mixing bowl.

"Really?" I asked, curiosity sparked. "What is it?"

"I'm not sure," he said as he sat down next to me. "I think I can sense human life," he continued.

I stared at him. "How?" I asked, still dumbfounded.

He looked up at me. "Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can see points of light where people are standing. Like right now"-he closed his eyes-"there's a little point of light where you're sitting." He opened his eyes and smiled at me. I was still staring at him like an idiot, dumbstruck by this new development.

I glanced at the clock.

"Whoops! Better go get Nudge and Angel," I said, finishing my last piece of toast and taking my plate to the sink.

"Bye," I said walking past him. He grabbed my hand and drew me toward him, pecking me on the lips softly. I smiled, and he smiled, too, making the world spin a little faster.

A thought occurred to me as I went to pick up and Angel and Nudge. Oh shoot, I thought. Actually that's not what I thought, just replace shoot with another word. Anyways, I forgot about Angel's ability to read minds. I tried to fill my head with random thoughts as I arrived at Cameron's house. When Nudge and Angel came out, Nudge started to babble about the sleepover and how much fun they'd had…etc. Angel looked at me curiously, obviously reading my mind. I had filled my head with the song Nine in the Afternoon by Panic at the Disco, but she shrugged to herself. I sighed with relief internally.

Later, Iggy and the Gasman flew back home from the movie theatre. Gazzy was pale and looked terrified that something was going to jump out and eat him. Iggy's sightless eyes darted back and forth nervously, and I must admit it was sorta funny. They jumped at the slightest noise, and that night, Gazzy did have nightmares, but I'm happy to say his sheets made it through the night dry. Iggy, on the other hand…well let's say he blushed the deepest red I'd ever seen him blush, and made us swear on our lives we would never speak of it again.

The week after the "incident between me and Fang" as I called it, Fang and I spent more time together than we ever had. Whenever was Angel was around us, though, I tried to think of other things so she wouldn't get suspicious.

As it turned out, the weekend Nudge wanted to go camping, it rained. Like, really hard.

"I blame global warming," Total grumbled as he watched the rain fall. I smiled.

Another week passed with the occasional visits from my mom and Ella. Oh, and, of course, the gorging of ourselves with cookies. Ella seemed to notice the difference between me and Fang.

"Max?" she asked me, as we sat in my room watching a movie. "Are you and Fang, like, together now?" Her eyes lit up and she smiled. I blushed.

"I guess you could say that," I said. She smiled wider at me, and I smiled back. I heard a giggle inside my head, and my smile faded.

Angel! I thought, getting angry.

Oops! she thought back. She giggled again.

Is Nudge with you? I demanded.

No! she exclaimed. I knew she was lying.

You two are in such big trouble! I frowned at Ella.

"Did you plan this?" I asked her.

"Yep!" she smiled even wider. I rolled my eyes.

Nudge came in the room then, and bombarded me with questions. I forced her to shut up before I could answer any of her questions, thank God.

The next day we all packed for our camping trip, and I made sure we had enough food that would, for a normal group of kids, last them for two weeks, instead of just three days. We left later that night, so no one would notice a bunch of kids with wings flying around the Grand Canyon loaded with a bunch of camping gear.

And so our camping trip began.


Okay, personally, I think that's a crappy chappie. (hey that rhymed!) It will get better I promise!!

Fly free!
