MAX

I slowly felt the pain begin to subside, the flashing images fading, and I became vaguely aware of callused hands softly touching my hair, and I instantly knew them to be Fang's...and since this realization didn't send a fresh shockwave of pain through my tortured brain, I figured I must be at the end of it. I then became aware of the fact that I was curled into a pitiful ball, and that my hands were tightly clasped to my ears. My jaw ached from being so tightly clenched. I drew in a deep, shuddering breath, then slowly took my hands away from my ears, slowly let my jaw relax. My eyes slowly opened, and I saw a large grouping of concerned faces. Wait...make that four, I think. I drew in another breath, then let my eyes open fully, where they instantly met Fang's. A grimace decorated my face, and I mouthed one word: "Ouch."

I slowly began to sit up, moving my arms out behind me so I wouldn't fall; my brain felt like it could shatter at any given second, which wasn't a very nice feeling. I sighed slowly, then looked up again. "Hey," I said meekly, then lifted one hand and placed it gingerly on the side of my head.

JACOB

I watched apprehensively when Fang picked Max up and took her to the couch, temporarily not noticing how tenderly and gently he handled her, how caring he seemed to be. Right then, I was kinda freaking out because Max looked like she was ready to die. I shuddered at the thought, then sighed hugely in relief when she finally came to, sitting up slowly and touching her head like it still hurt. What the hell had just happened? I glanced from her to Fang, just now noticing how he had acted towards her. A corner of my mouth tipped upward in a crooked smile. Oh, that explained it.

Amy let out her breath that she didn't know she had been holding. Thank goodness she's okay she thought. She looked at Jacob and noticed he was smiling slightly and looking at Fang. Oh, so Fang probably really likes her then. She smiled too, glad that the tense moment had passed. Now she wanted to know why Max had been in pain and yet was okay now.

{Wait, is this taking place before or after Max had starting having major head-aches from the Voice in the book? Should Fang have no idea what's going on with her? And do they already have an established relationship, or are they just realizing they like each other? Haha, sorry for the questions ^^}

Fang nodded slowly when she mouthed the word 'Ouch'; it looked like it had hurt. "Next time, could you try to give me a little warning before you collapse to your knees in pain? I like to avoid heart-attacks whenever I can," he said quietly, then he gave her a little grin, tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and stood up. When his gaze met the others watching them, he nodded to let them know that Max was okay. "She'll be fine," he said, like he was some doctor emerging from surgery. The thought would have amused him if he didn't hate all doctors. He caught Jacob's grin. "What?" he asked as he gave the boy a friendly shove.

Chayse let out the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding when Fang told them she was fine. Well, that was a relief. She hadn't exactly been planning on witnessing a near-death experience on her first day in the Flock.

{{Lol, it's all good! Yeah, it's after Max started having migraines that put all others to shame, and...hm...realizing they like eachother might be more fun. xD}}

MAX

My face felt flushed, and I was somewhat glad I had the sudden brain attack; I could blame the red hue coloring my face on that, though I knew that wasn't it. I sat up, glaring at Fang. "I'll be sure to do that," I growled, then sighed, pressing my fingertips to my temples. "I think it's over. God, I hate those things." I smirked at myself, then looked up at the others. "I'm okay," I promised, somewhat surprised at how quick they all were to show concern. That was a good sign, according to me; if they showed concern for eachother, it'd be easier to keep us all together. I shivered and then sighed, running my fingers through my hair. "Sorry about that," I said, looking up at the others.

JACOB

My smile widened into a grin, and I raised one eyebrow, my eyes flickering to Max before moving back to Fang. I pressed my lips together and made a zip/locking motion across them with two of my fingers, then grinned again, giving him a friendly shove in return. I looked at Max, then held a thumbs up, letting her know that we were all fine.

Kirose finished her mental list and hopped down from the roof. "They should have relaxed by now...or maybe they're inging show tunes." She paused and cringed at the thought. When she opened the door, she paused again. Everyone seemed to have releaved expressions and Fang was holding Max and everyone was staring at her. Looks like they finished singing Amazing Grace.... She took a step back and closed the door. "This place is weird....." SHe muttered, and flew back up to the roof.

{Haha, alright. Mind if I bring a little Eraser drama in here with my next post? }

[Harpy•]

{{Git 'er done! xD Yeah, go ahead. }}

[KittyKat1001001]

((Ooh, Eraser drama. XD Would that be a good time to bring in Tool?))
"It's okay, of course. It's not your fault if you suddenly get a headache or something." Amy was interpreting the whole hands and fingers on head and temple as showing that the pain was in Max's head. She noticed Kirose open the door and soon closing it again and flying up to most likely the roof. She needed to learn the benefits of at least being slightly social. Seriously, even monks, who took vows of silence, hung out with people more than her. She noticed Jacob "sealing his lips", so to speak, and almost laughed. Guess the whole Fang liking Max thing was right, and if that was the case it probably also went in the other direction too. Admittedly, though she hadn't dared to tell anyone yet, she found Jacob to be quite cute. She quickly looked out of a window, pretending to be absorbed with something outside. She could be so immature sometimes.

Kirose was on the roof again, and pulled her knees up to her chest. "Anything but show tunes, those are just creepy...." She muttered, and looked backdown at the door. "I have a feeling I'll be speneding alot of the time on t his roof, away from those people." She spread pout on the roof and sighed. SHe never really fit in anywhere. No one ever understood her, she never was real with anyone.

{{That would be an excellent time to bring Tool in. x3 Imma wait for Harbor's Eraser Drama post before I reply, if that's alright with y'all. xD}}
