My Version of Nevermore

So, this is what I want to happen in Nevermore, but it probably won't. Characters are a little out of character, but I don't care. BTW, Fang talks quite a bit, but oh well. Hope you like it.

Chapter 1:

I couldn't believe it. My baby, my Angel, gone? This couldn't be happening. Nudge and Gazzy were already crying, and suddenly I knew I was going to explode.

I quickly tapped Iggy's hand, telling him he was in charge, and, without a word, flew off as fast as I could.

I found some trees not too far away and landed on a branch somewhat clumsily because of the tears blurring my vision. I sat there and cried my eyes out. I couldn't bear the pain of losing Angel, but I had let this happen. I had let 7-year-old Angel stay with Gazzy as I tried to diffuse those bombs, and she didn't get out in time. Oh, God, Angel, I'm so sorry, sweetie.

Suddenly, I felt two strong arms wrapping around me: Fang. I let him pull me into a hug and I clung to his shirt. As I sat there and cried into his shirt, he rubbed my back between my wings, trying to calm me down.

After a while I stopped sobbing, but still had tears streaming down my face. Oh, Max, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I heard in my head. Angel? I looked up at Fang and said, "She's not dead, Fang. I just heard her. I know I did."

He didn't give me a look like I was crazy; instead, he nodded and said, "I know. I heard her too." I could tell that he'd let some tears fall too. Angel was as much his little girl as she was mine. He'd help raise her after Jeb disappeared. He was the father figure to the younger kids.

"Max, I need to tell you how sorry I am for leaving you. I'm so sorry, Max"

"Why did you leave?" I asked. "What made you think I was in danger if you stayed?"

"Dylan," he said. I could hear the anger in his voice. "I hate to admit it, but I let him convince me you were in danger because of Angel's "Fang will be the first to die," prophecy. He knew you were my one weakness, the one thing that could make me leave. I couldn't stand it if I was the reason you were hurt or killed, and he used that to get me to leave."

"Why did you come back? Just so we could fight the Doomsday Group?" I asked.

"That's only part of it," he said. "I missed you too much. And the flock. I knew it was only a matter of time before I came back. And then when we met in San Diego, Angel told me how hurt you were when I left, and how you refused to fall in love with Dylan."

I was surprised by how much he was talking-he'd never been very talkative.

"I'm so sorry that I hurt you, Max. I only wanted to protect you. I hope you can forgive me."

In the next second, I wrapped my arms around his neck and smashed my lips against his. He wrapped his arms around my waist. When we broke apart, I looked him in the eye and said, "I do forgive you, and don't ever leave me again."

He sighed and pulled me into a tight hug and buried his face in my hair. "I won't," He promised. "And this time, I'll keep my promise. I'll never leave you again."

I could tell he was telling the truth by the amount of emotion in his voice. He wasn't going to leave again. I sighed and hugged him tighter.

When we pulled away, I looked into his eyes again. A stray tear rolled down my cheek, and he wiped it away. "Let's go find our little girl," I said.

He grinned, that special Fang-grin that I'd missed so much, then stood up, and held out his hand to help me up. We flew back towards the flock, hand-in-hand.

Like I said, Fang talks quite a bit, but oh well. I hope you liked it! RnR please! This is only my 2nd FanFic, so be nice! I have chapters 2 and 3 written out, so I'll probably update tomorrow and maybe Saturday too. Let me know what you think. If you haven't, please read A Maximum Accident, my very first FanFic EVER! Thanks guys!
