Chapter 1
After the world ended and Dylan had rescued me from "drowning", (I had forgotten I had gills, how embarrassing). Things were never quite the same.
Max's POV
As Dylan pulled me out of the water, I saw Fang sitting behind him, looking tired, and his clothes dripping wet. When his eyes met my eyes, he immediately stood up, and strode toward me. Shoving Dylan back, he crouched down next to me, his hand on the small of my back, and said "Are you okay, Max?"
I nodded, still feeling dazed about how Fang had finally, after all these years, admitted that he loved me. He wrapped an arm around me, and leaned his head against mine. Suddenly, I thought of something.
"Hey, Fang?" I asked. "Hmm?" he mumbled into my hair. Boy, was I gonna enjoy this. "You love me, Fang. You love me this much." I crooned, spreading my arms out wide. He looked at me, and flashed one of his rare smiles that suddenly made the world a whole lot brighter.
Fang's POV
I pulled myself out of the water; my clothes were drenched, which only made it harder for me to get up onto this cliff. I noticed Dylan was pulling up something out of the water, something with blonde hair. Wait, blonde hair?
I looked over, and my heart raced, it was Max. She looked at me, and I stood up. I didn't even bother to acknowledge Dylan, he was never a part of the Flock, and he never will be, so I shoved him away from Max.
I crouched down next to Max, put my hand on her back, and buried my head in her hair. God, I missed the way her hair smelled, the way it flanked behind her when she flies. "Are you okay, Max?" I asked. She simply nodded; I guess she was in shock or something. "Hey Fang?" Max said, burrowing her head deeper into my neck.
"Hmm?" I replied, breathing in her familiar scent. "You love me, Fang. You love me this much." She said, stretching her arms out. I couldn't help it; I smiled at her, which instantly made her eyes brighten. Ah, Max. My only weakness.
Dylan's POV
I was helping Max out of the water, hoping that she would appreciate it and like me. And then, what do ya know? Fang comes up, shoves me, and decides to get all cuddly with Max. I was made to be Max's perfect other half, to replace Fang.
He is supposed to be dead, anyway. I could have killed him when I had the chance, but Max had begged me to spare his life, so I did. Bad mistake. I thought about attacking Fang, but that would make Max hate me even more than she already did. I ran to the edge of the cliff, and jumped.
Fury rushed over me as I unfurled my wings, and took off. It's my fault that he's still alive, but I'm gonna change that.
