NEW note: Being several months since I wrote this, I decided to check back in with some edits. Whoever's still reading it, thanks :) Hope you guys still like it!

Note: Keep the constructive critiscism CONSTRUCTIVE. I would love to know how to improve my writing skills, but negative comments won't help me at all.

And if you like it, please tell me! I love hearing positive feedback. :D

Ok, I love Evanscence and all of their songs. but a pretty popular one is Bring me to Life. So I decided to do a 'Fax' story based on it.

NOTE: This song is a bit dark, so don't expect the story to be rainbows and lollipops here. I also skipped the part of the song where the guy was singing. It made more since to only let the parts that applied to Max stay in. Plus it's my story so...BLEAH! :p

My first songfic, and my second ever story (on here)! Hope you like it. ;)

How can you see into my eyes

Like open doors?

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb.

Max hadn't moved from her bed since Fang took off.

The flock was really worried. Well, two of the flock. Angel and Gazzy had taken to playing together much more now.

"It's been a week!" Nudge hissed at Iggy. "You've gotta do something!"

It wasn't just the fact that she hadn't left bed: it was the fact that she was sleeping. If she had woken up, it wasn't long enough for one of her 'family' to see her.

"Why me?" the teenaged boy asked, turning to the cross-armed tween. His blue eyes stared at her so intently it was hard to believe he was even blind.

"Be-cause," Nudge said as if he were so dumb for not even realizing it. "You're the oldest now."

"Right. But I'm not much in matters of the heart, unlike you, your highest majesty, goddess of love!" he said, mocking her with a phony regal accent.

"Ugh! No one takes me seriously!" And with that Nudge stomped off to her room and left Iggy to watch T.V. Well, listen to it, actually.

Without a soul

My spirit sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there

And lead it back...

Home.

Max, deep in her dreamworld, felt something snap. Suddenly, she was surrounded by dark pools of swirling water. She couldn't breathe and couldn't see. What was going on?

Nudge was sprawled on her bedroom floor reading magazines, when all of the sudden she heard a thrashing sound. "Max?" she called. Nudge quickly got up and walked to Max's bedroom door. "Max?" she whispered again, creaking the door open to see a site that horrified her.

Maximum's eyes snapped open, and her mouth was agape. She inhaled sharply, a sound that was haunting to hear. Her back arched and she kept thrashing.

"Max! Max! Stop it!" Nudge cried. But what she didn't know was that even though Max's eyes were open, she was still asleep, trapped in her own nightmare. And she couldn't wake up.

(Wake me up!)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up!)

Wake me up inside

(Save me!)

Call my name and save me from the dark.

Max closed her eyes in her nightmare and opened them again, only to fnd everything bright and sunny. And even better was that Fang was sitting nearby, with his back turned toward her. She began to run toward him.

"Fang!" Her voice echoed eerily across the strange meadow she now found herself in.

At the sound of her voice, it seemed, Fang stood. But confusedly, his back still faced her.

"Fang! Fang!" She shouted, now running toward him. But with every step she took, it seemed, he was five steps further, and he was soon a tiny speck in her hawk-like vision.

Max was far too impatient to see Fang. She snapped open her wings and flew toward him, using her special speed to get to him. Within a couple of seconds, she arrived about 50 feet away from her ex-boyfriend- or ex-ex-boyfriend. "Fang! Fang." She landed with a thunk and called his name. For the first time, Fang turned around, and Max couldn't breathe. His eyes lit up when he faced Max, and he ran toward her.

"There you are!" He said happily.

Max opened her arms for a hug, but instead she got the shock of her life.

Fang ran right through her.

"Max!"

Maximum turned around, and the sound of her heart breaking was almost audible

Fang was hugging her clone.

Max II.

(Wake me up!)

Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

Before I come undone

(Save me!)

Save me from the nothing I've become

"NO!" Max screamed, her eyes still closed. She let out a gut-wrenching sob, very unusual for the normally hardcore leader.

"Max! Max, wake up! Please...", Nudge begged, teardrops falling from her rimmed eyes.

"What's going -", Iggy began, walking into the room. He heard Max's body widly thrashing around.

"MAX!" Iggy screamed, falling to his knees beside her and shaking the older teen. "Wake up!"

Max felt her world end as the ground beneath her dissapeared. She suddenly felt she was falling, but she was too numb with heartbreak to realize it much, and not enough to react at all.

Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life

Max continued to tumble down the pitch black tunnel, feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland. Except there were no funny things floating around, no marmalade. Just a seemingly endless darkness.

After a few hours in the dreamworld falling state, Max was thoroughly surprised when she hit the ground. She didn't move for a few moments, shock and pain racing through her body. She sat up, and looked around. Maximum sighted a tunnel exit, bright with natural sunlight. She shielded her eyes, but got up and slowly made her way toward it. When she got close, Max cautiously stuck one hand out into the sunlight. Her palm felt warm and the sunlight was a welcome feeling. Knowing it was her only way out, Max stepped in and out of the exit, and was surrounded by blinding light.

"... coming to ...come on... quick!"

Max began to catch bits of words and sentances.

Maximum felt a hand grab her own hand. "Max? Can you hear me?"

Wait...whose voice did she just hear? No, her ears must be decieving her.

She dared to flutter her eyes open and see who the owner of the hand and the voice was.

And Max almost died right then and there.

It was Fang.

(Wake me up!)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up!)

Wake me up inside

(Save me!)

Call my name and save me from the dark.

(Wake me up!)

Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

Before I come undone

(Save me!)

Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life...

...

Bring me to life...

So what'd you think? Review, please! :3
