Chapter 1: Already a year
It has been a year since he died.
A year since we saved Angel-(aka Megan), Mikes sister.
A year since Fang sacrificed his life…
For me.
It's been already a year and I still think it's my fault.
He took a bullet for me-
I killed him.
It's my fault he's dead.
Sure, I thought about Fang every minute of every day… but today was worse.
Today was the anniversary of the day he had died.
So, It was kind of obvious I had locked myself up in my room and cried.
We lived in an old house that we found in the middle of the forest.
It was a medium sized cabin, Iggy and Gazzy shared a room, Nudge and Angel shared a room, while Olivia, Mike and I had our own separate rooms.
I was in my room, lying down on my bed crying my eyes out. I had pulled out my phone from under my bed earlier that morning- I was looking through various pictures of me and Fang hugging and holding hands, looking through those pictures made me cry harder…
But it felt good.
I heard the door of my room creak open and someone walk in.
I closed my eyes and let the tears that I had begun to shed fall, feeling them flow down my cheek.
I felt someone lay down beside me and wrap their arms around my waist.
Fang?
I rolled over, only to be face to face with a blond haired, blind teenage boy.
Iggy.
Disappointed, I laid my head down on his chest and cried even harder (if that was possible.)
Ever since Fang… died… Iggy and I had become closer than ever…
We looked to each other for comfort. No one could truly understand what we were going through.
Iggy was like an older brother to me, even though he's a day younger than me.
My 'brother' slowly rubbed circles into my back and began to hum a gloomy tune that seemed unfamiliar to me.
Before the song was almost over, he had stopped humming and turned so he could lie down on his back, in the process taking his arm off of my waist.
"Max, don't cry anymore." He whispered softly, interrupting the silence.
"It hurts Ig." I whispered back in between sobs.
"I know Max… It hurts me too- he's practically my brother." He continued to speak in a soft tone.
"I love him." I said looking into his pale blue eyes.
"If you love him Max… let go."
I just cried, and cuddled closer to Iggy- blocking out the painful memories of the night Fang had died.
~*Flashback*~
"Maximum," Hatch yelled loudly his voice booming through the dark sewer tunnels.
"You are needed to save the world."
"What do you mean?" I yelled back, my voice echoing as well.
"I mean that you have to save the world… And I'm not letting you."
He then pulled a gun out of his coat pocket and fired.
It was like one of those slow motion moments,
I saw Hatch fire the gun and Fang the love of my life- jump in front of me...
Taking the bullet.
He fell to the ground landing with a thud on top of a block of pavement.
"FANG!" I screamed and scrambled over next to him.
Fang looked at me with his memorizing obsidian eyes, he was breathing heavily and clutching onto my hand.
I looked back up at Hatch,
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT?" I yelled again.
Hatch didn't respond,
Instead he raised his gun again aiming for me.
I closed my eyes and he fired, but I didn't feel the bullet.
I opened my eyes and saw that Fang had fallen onto the pavement once again.
He had taken another bullet.
I heard another shot fire- hoping that this one wasn't going to hut Fang.
I looked up only to see Hatch fall to the ground; Mike was standing behind him surprised -a gun was in his hand.
Turning my attention back to Fang I shrieked, blood was soaking through his shirt in rapid speed.
"Please Fang!" I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"Please don't die…"
He looked at me and smiled,
"I love you Max." he whispered.
"I love you too Fang." I whispered back crying.
He took one last look at me before closing his eyes, his head falling to the side.
"Max! Let's go!" Mike yelled.
"What about Fang? We still might have time…" I whispered looking down at my black haired angel.
"There is no time Max!" his English accent yelled back at me, his voice echoing through the sewer. " I hear people coming!"
"Max," Megan whispered beside me "I hear people too, we have to go."
Clutching onto Fangs shoulders I just shook my head no, Megan tried to pull me up but I squirmed out of her reach.
Mike came over and picked me up off of the ground,
I screamed Fangs name, and tried to get out of Mikes grasp but I couldn't.
By the time that I had stopped screaming, I was already in Mike's car with Megan by my side.
~*End of Flashback*~
I opened my eyes to see that I had fallen asleep.
I sat up on the bed and saw that Iggy was sleeping as well, his chest moving up and down in a rhythmic pattern.
I crawled off of my bed, making sure not to make too much noise.
Once my feet were safely on the floor, I tip toed over to my drawer and opened it.
I grabbed a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and my under garments.
I walked over to the bathroom and locked it.
I turned on the bathroom lights and looked into the mirror- only to see that my blond hair was all greasy from not taking a shower for the past few days.
My eyes as well, were all swollen and red… they also had deep blue bags under them.
Just to spare you the details- I took a shower… Just too somehow get my mind off of things.
As soon as I was done I had gotten dressed in the bathroom and walked out, passing by a snoring Iggy.
I walked into the hallway passing by 5 sets of wooden doors before reaching my destination…
The Kitchen.
When I walked into the kitchen Nudge was sitting down on the marble counter eating a bowl of cereal, she looked up at me- her brown eyes smiling with happiness.
She mumbled something that sounded like-
"Hey Max!" and she continued to eat her over filled bowl of lucky charms.
I poured myself a bowl as well and sat down next to Nudge on the counter.
"Where's Iggy?" she asked after a long moment of silence.
"He fell asleep in my room." I mumbled and took multiple bites of my cereal.
"What are you doing out here?" she asked jumping of the counter.
"I don't know… I needed air." I mumbled.
I ate the last spoonful of cereal and slurped up the remaining milk. I placed the bowl in the sink and sat down on one of our dining room chairs.
"So, are you going back to your room now?" Nudge asked bitterly, crossing her arms.
"Nope." I said popping the 'p' and getting up from my chair.
"Oh," she said intrigued and skipped out of the kitchen.
After her little exit, I walked out of the kitchen as well.
I opened the front door to our little cabin and walked onto the wooden front porch.
The sun rays shone brightly that afternoon, unlike the previous weather that we had experienced earlier that week, just rain and Storm clouds… Basically breaking the whole tradition of just sun and sunshine for the summer time season.
Just taking in the beautiful weather, I smiled to myself and stared at the pine trees that surrounded our yard.
The leaves were a bright green, slightly rustling with the wind.
I could hear the cabin door creak open and shut behind me,
I turned my head to the left to see Mike and Olivia standing on the porch as well; his arm was wrapped around her waist- laughing.
I scowled to myself but when they both turned to look at me I put on a fake smile. They smiled back at me and gave me a wave, I did not say anything.
I walked down the porch and onto the front lawn.
When my feet touched the moist grass I unfurled my wings, took a running start, jumped in the air, and I began to flap my wings up and down.
Soon enough I was flying in the blue sky.
I hadn't been out flying ever since Fang died, so it took a while for my wings to adjust to the un usual currents.
I had given up on everything since Fang's death.
When the flock had found out that he had died they were all upset.
Especially Iggy- when he found out about Fangs passing he had disappeared for 3 months.
He came back in September, saying that he needed to be here for us.
Ever since he came back Iggy has never even smiled, neither have I.
Nudge was upset about his death as well- but she had gotten over it after a month. She wasn't as close to him as Iggy, Gazzy and I were- so she didn't really understand.
Gazzy was upset.
He still is.
He never talks to anyone- he simply just looks to his delinquent friends for comfort.
Gazzy now 9, has died his hair more than anyone could count.
From going to his natural blond hair, to red, to green, to blue, and to purple… he had decided to settle for a more 'natural' color.
Black.
And that hurt the most.
Mike and Olivia- well… They just decided to pretend that nothing had happened.
Thus is the reason why I scowl in their presence.
I realized- after flying in the sky for at least an hour or so…
That we needed to start over.
Not only because of me,
But because of all of us…
Because- We were too stuck in the past to actually focus on the future.
And we all needed to start over.
