This is my first fic in the Maximum Ride category, so at least give me a chance before you leave without reviewing!
Disclaimer: If I owned Max Ride, I wouldn't be here, Fang would have NEVER left and Dylan would only be an image in a crazy person's nightmares.
Max P.O.V.
Fang. He's all that I can think about. Every time I close my eyes, his image burns behind my eyelids. Even when I manage to doze off out of pure exhaustion, he comes back and haunts my dreams.
His black wings glint purple in the whitish lighting of my dreams and his obsidian eyes freeze my dream-self in place. His shaggy black hair hangs just over the tips of his eyelashes. His clothes are their usual; all black and he says only three words before he flies off,
"Don't follow me."
I wake up crying and screaming for him to come back. Angel and Nudge run into the room, but they already know what I'm so shaken up over. They try to comfort me, but we all know it's no use. Iggy and Gazzy just stand by my bedside and look at their broken leader. That's what I've become. Broken. After all of the horrors that Itex and the School put me through, after all of the terrible obstacles I've faced, it takes loosing the only one that I've ever truly loved more than a friend to break me.
I've become a ghost of my old self, always fading. I haven't left my room since the day he left, which was two weeks ago. Nudge forced me to drink at least a little water, but I can't hold any food. I'm too numb with grief. The only thing that occupies my thoughts or my dreams is Fang.
Fang and all of the memories we've shared. There are too many memories to count and I re-live every last one as they forever linger in my brain.
Fang and I sparring in the front yard of our cabin when Jeb was still here.
Me kissing Fang on the beach.
Fang kissing me in the cave and me flying away.
Me totally and completely falling for him on the submarine.
Fang laying on the cold, metal hospital bed and me confessing my love for him.
Me walking down the aisle with Fang at Akilla and Total's wedding.
The moment when I realized that Fang was never coming home.
He's just gone.
I didn't even get to tell him goodbye.
FANG!
Fang…
Normal P.O.V.
"She's getting worse, you know." said Nudge quietly. Nobody looked up. The secret flock meeting wasn't going as well as she had hoped.
"So what do you want us to do." said Iggy flatly. "We don't know where Fang is, and Max is so weak, she can barely stand up."
"Yeah, and Fang told her not to look for him." said Gazzy tiredly.
"Told her not to look for him…" murmured Angel.
"What's that, Ange?" said Iggy.
"Told her… told her!" said Angel excitedly. When Angel saw the other flock members' puzzled expressions, she sighed and began to explain her revelation, and her plan.
Wouldn't it be nice if I stopped here, I'm not that nice, so here's the rest of the chapter.
"Fang told her not to look for him. He never told us that we couldn't. Besides, when he hears on how Max is coping, he has to come back!" said Angel with such relish, that the rest of the flock wanted to fly out the window and scour the country for the dark, silent boy that everyone missed.
The rest of the flock had already slapped high fives with Angel for her brilliant idea when Iggy interrupted the happy moment.
"Sorry to be all rain-on-your-parade, but what are we going to do with Max while we're gone. She's in no condition to come flying around the country with us, and I don't want to leave her behind with that 'soul mate gone wrong' Dylan. Who knows what he'll do!" said Iggy.
The other flock members' smiles slowly faded. Angel scowled, then began smiling again.
"Sure, she can't come with us, but Dr. Martinez and Ella can take care of her! None of us even have to stay behind!" said Angel.
The other flock members grinned mischievously. Tomorrow, the plan would begin to take action. The flock would find Fang, drag his butt all the way over here if necessary, Max would get better, and the whole flock would be whole again. Chained together, if necessary. That is, if Max didn't die first, which would probably be in a few short weeks if she kept it up like this.
Was it good? This is the first fic I've written in a long time, so tell me how I did. Tell me what to improve! Any reviews are welcome! Also, tell me any pairing suggestions other than Fax that you guys want, and I'll try to put them in!
