Aftermore

by BvBbina

Max, Dylan, Fang, and Angel are left alone after the apocalypse. The only catch is that the evil isn't entirely gone, and the fate of the world once again rests on Max's shoulders. Going to be at least 15 chapters. Will be updated as much as possible. This is my first fic, so constructive criticism is welcome, but major flames are not. May be slightly OOC here and there.

1. Chapter 1: Aftermore

A/N This is my first fanfic, so don't be too hard. Flames exec gladly excepted, cuz they keep me warm in the winter ;) This will be a longer story. Please R&R and you'll get virtual cookies!

I do NOT own MR, I only own the plot. All rights go to the amazing James Patterson.

Chapter 1: Bouncing Back

Max POV

I watched Fang and Dylan put up the small sides of a house while I sat here and put together grass to make our roof.

We tried, for months, to get to the underwater tunnels that housed the rest of the flock, not to mention my mother and countless other mutants.

But we couldn't find a way, even underwater.

Now it was just Fang, Dylan, Angel, and me, Max. We've flow thousands of miles around the world since the apocalypse has happened, and all we have seen is destruction. Bodies in the streets that weren't under water, and fires still burning, even after all this time.

Thankfully, since the end came so sudden, all the stores were filled to the brim with food and supplies.

We were able to get enough food and other supplies for the four of us that would last for almost a year.

"Max," I see Dylan looks down at me. "It's starting to get dark. We need to put the reeds on." He offers me his hand, but I brush it away. I don't need his help.

I run and takeoff. I hover over the half of our roof that isn't thatched, and hand half of the reed bundles to Fang. We finish securing them quickly, and walk into the house.

We had manages to salvage two mattresses that weren't too jacked up from the flooding. So we had to share.

Angel was curled up with Fang on one, and I saw Dylan, looking hopeful, sitting on the other bed.

It's ok Max. You can lay with Fang.

I heard Angel say in my mind.

She got up and snuggled back up with Dylan. The smug smile dropped from his face as soon as I laid down with Fang.

Fang kissed my head, and reached to turn the lantern out. It was only five minutes later, when I was close to sleep, that I heard him whisper. "I love you, Max."

Once again R&R and thank you so much for reading! I will post a much longer chapter in a day or two depending on how much free time I have. Review and get virtual cookies!
