I don't own Maximum Ride.
The rain made a pitter patter against my window. It was dark outside as the moon shown high above the rain. As I leaned against my wall all I can think about is you. How you saved me and the flock from Ari and his Eraser friends. You sacrifice your life for us, and it is all my fault. If I helped you out and sent the flock away with Iggy, you would still be here.
A tear slid down my check as a memory of you floated into my mind. I remembered the scene were Ari had killed you like it was a movie going in slow motion. It was my fault that I didn't save you before Ari shot you. Max, it was my fault that you're dead.
Flash back:
"Fang! Get the kids out of here!" Max yelled.
"What about you?" Fang asked over the crowd of Erasers.
"I'll be fine! Just get out of here!" she screamed back while roundhouse kicking Ari in the head.
"Not without you!" Fang screamed back to her. Max's eyes were pleading as she faced Fang for a few moments.
"Fang, please go." She pleaded with her chocolate brown eyes. Fang sighed. As he started gathering the rest of the flock and making a break for it.
Once they were far enough away, Fang looked back to see Ari holding a gun to the frightened Max's head. "MAX!" he screamed. But it was too late. An eerie gunshot ranged around the forest clearing, as Max's body fell to the ground limp.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nudge and Angle screamed in union as they fell to the ground with tears.
"What happened? Is Max ok?" Iggy asked concerned. Fang hesitated before answering.
"Ari shot Max in the head and now s-he…. S-he's… she's dead." Iggy gasped. Fang heard a low whimper as he faced Gazzy. His face was red with tears falling down one after another on his face.
"She… she can't be! She promised she would always be here for us!" Gazzy screamed as he fell to the ground to clutching his head in sorrow.
When Fang looked back at the Erasers he saw that they were flying away, leaving the dead Max behind.
Once they were all gone, Fang and the rest of the flock ran over to Max's body. When Fang looked at her blood sodden face, he saw tear streaks on her cheek. "Max." he breathed as he cried for the first time in his life. "This is all my fault Max, I'm so sorry." He silently whispered to himself.
End of Flash back.
The memory brought more tears down his face as he remembered his fearless leader give her life up just like that, for him and the flock.
