Alright, well… this was just some random idea that came to me while I was laying in bed at 11:30 last night. I don't know how good an idea it is… I mean, it's stuff we've all read before, so… I don't know. I figured it couldn't hurt to go ahead and do it. This will be a five-shot, one chapter for each book; maybe in March, after FANG comes out I'll add another. We'll see.

Oh, and I'm sure you've read The Angel Experiment if you're reading Maximum Ride fan fiction, but just in case you haven't, there are major spoilers below. Because, well, this is just a compilation of excerpts from the book.

Disclaimer: James Patterson owns everything in this fan fiction. I am merely reposting it to show how Fang was different in all five books of the series. It's an exploration of how his character changes based on the excerpts below.

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Protective Fang

"Man, you weigh a freaking ton," he told me. "What've you been eating, rocks?"

"Why, is your head missing some?" I croaked. His mouth almost quirked in a smile, and that's when I knew how upset he'd been.

00

"Suddenly, I stopped dead, as if I'd been poleaxed.

Fang examined my face. "That pain?" he asked quietly, glancing around as if planning where to take me if I suddenly crumpled.

00

Fang and I sat with our backs against the wall. I dropped my head into my hands and started rubbing my temples.

"You okay?" Fang asked.

"Yeah," I muttered. "I'll be better tomorrow."

"Go to sleep," said Fang. "I'll take first watch."

00

Lifting my head, I saw Fang, dark and determined, streaking toward us. He was keeping pace, but he wasn't catching up. If a car was waiting, I was a goner. I struggled as hard as I could, chopping at the Eraser, punching and scratching, and it was infuriating how little effect I had on the beast. Had they been bred to have no pain receptors?

"Fang!" I bellowed, seeing him even farther away than he had been. We were outpacing him….

Fang roared up and pulled me hard to my feet, starting to drag me away.

"Wait!" I said. "Fang-- I think he's dead."

Fang looked from me to the Eraser, then nudged him boot against the still form. It didn't move, didn't blink. Still holding my hand, Fang knelt and put his fingers against the Eraser's wrist, wary and alert for movement.

00

I took a couple deep breaths, feeling the pain ease away. My eyes opened in the dim light of the cathedral. Five very concerned faces were watching me.

"Can you walk?" Fang asked tersely. I nodded.

00

I groaned and dropped my head into my hands. It was all too much. If I couldn't trust these five people, then my life wasn't worth living.

"Your head hurt?" Fang asked with quiet alertness.

00

Ari leaned down and whispered, "You're so pretty when you're sleeping-- and your mouth is shut. But what a shame to cut your hair."

"When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it," I spat, struggling against his boot.

He laughed, then reached down and stroked my face with once claw. "I like 'em feisty."

"Get off her!" Fang launched himself at Ari, taking him by surprise. Ari outweighed Fang by a hundred pounds, but Fang was coldly furious and out for blood. He was scary when he was like that.

00

Quickly I glanced up but saw only the yucky yellow-tiled arch covered with mold-- no glass ceiling. Fang was still holding my arm, looking at me intently.

I gave him an embarrassed smile. "You must be so sick of looking at me with concern."

"It is getting stale," he said. "What happened? This time, I mean."

"I don't even want to explain," I said, wiping clammy sweat off my forehead. "You'd have me committed to a madhouse."

If you enjoyed this, School's Out Forever will be up soon-- my copy is currently with my cousin, three hours away, so I'll have to put it on hold at the library before I can start writing down page numbers and stuff. Anyway, REVIEW, tell me what you think of this idea, what you think about Fang's character in The Angel Experiment, how you think he felt towards Max in that book, blah, blah, blah. You can say whatever you want, I just really, really want everybody else's input! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
