REPOST:
When one doesn't succeed, try, try again. No clue who said that, but that's not the point. My first fan fic, well it sucked. So I'm hoping this one is a little better.
Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride! If I did, Fang wouldn't be the first to die, and I would never bring Dylan into the plot. But that's just me. Now onwards!
Black; such a depressing color. I guess that's why it's so appropriate for funerals. But the irony; black was Fang's favorite color, and now here we are, all dressed in black, attending his funeral. Yes, Angel's prophecy came true; Fang was the first to die. But how he died hurt the most.
In order to save the world, there were two more buildings we had to destroy. Itex in New York and the School in California. We weren't looking forward to going back to either one, but the world depended on it. We split the flock in two, just for this occasion. Fang took Nudge and the Gasman to blow up the school, while Iggy, Angel and I went to New York. We agreed that we would meet up at Mom's house once we were sure they were both gone. The day of July 4th came, and both buildings exploded, just as fireworks lit up the sky. A really nice way to celebrate our country, don't you think? Anyways, so we met up at Mom's and shared our adventures.
The following week, the CSM threw us a little get together just to say thanks; no biggie. They had a bird kid sized buffet and a little speech prepared for us. All in all a wonderful presentation.
After the buffet, Fang and I talked a little. Okay, we kissed; but still. THEN we talked. We were having a nice conversation, Fang was sweating when he said, "Max, I" then stopped and flung himself in front of me. Before I knew it, a bullet hit him just below the heart. It was aimed at me, and Brigid would have successfully killed me if it wasn't for Fang. That's right; Brigid shot the gun and almost killed Fang in her attempt to kill me.
She was out of bullets by the look of it, and decided to run. Luckily Iggy, Angel, Gazzy and Nudge chased after her, along with others. Mom and I stayed with Fang until the ambulance arrived. He had survived, thank God! Like I said, the bullet hit him just below the heart.
That night, we all camped out in his hospital room. Bring back memories? I sat next to his bed and held his hand until he woke up. I dozed off, but his hand smoothing my hair woke me almost instantly.
"Hey," He smiled. He freakin' smiled!
"You scared us all to death."
"It's my job." He said, sitting up the tiniest bit. I argued that he shouldn't be moving, but his just lightly pecked my lips before lying back down. After a little while, he fell asleep. I watched him sleep, his face open and soft. Suddenly his eyes shot open. He relaxed a little when he saw me, my hand in his. But he spoke urgently.
"Max, I need you to promise me a few things."
"Anything," He was really scaring me.
"Max, if something happens, promise me you'll stay leader. You won't stop protecting them."
"Fang, don't say that." I hissed, but he insisted.
"Just promise me."
"Fine, I promise."
"And promise me you won't forget me."
"How could I ever forget you?"
"Max." He warned.
"Okay, I promise I will never forget you."
"And one last thing; Max, I love you."He said, just as he went into cardiac arrest. I cried out,
"Fang!" Just as the doctors rushed in. One of them said that we should wait in the hall. When every one of us refused, they called in security and dragged us out.
"Fang!" I called, bawling. "I love you too!" but by that time it was too late. My best friend was gone.
This is where his funeral comes in. We all said something about him, even Jeb. When my turn came, I shook and gave a loud cry. But I spoke only loving things about him.
"Fang, you were my best friend, my soul mate." I looked at Jeb before continuing. "When I thought I was losing you on the beach in New York, I kissed you. Then in Virginia, I got extremely jealous when you kissed Lissa." I laughed a little. "I didn't realize it then, but I loved you. I even admitted it when Mom took the chip out of my arm. And then in the cave, I knew I loved you. But I still choose to fly away. That wasn't the first time either. I flew away that time on the dock too. I'm sorry, Fang." I paused. I had more to say, but I just couldn't finish. I was too choked up. I promptly stood back in line and bawled harder than I ever thought possible.
Awe! Review and tell me what you think. Thanks, you guys are great!
