yay! Fax! Or mang, I've heard it called. Anyway. Beta: Cupid's Jinx (thank goodness! A beta that actually gives my stuff back to me on time!) Disclaimer: No. Plain and simple. Not at all. If I owned, well fax would have come WAY before the fifth book. More like, book zero, when they're all still at the School. Yeah...
"How long?" Max whimpered, clutching at Fang's shirt with desperate hands.
"How long, what?" Fang didn't know what to expect. Max was so emotionally distraught, she was practically out of her head. After Angel had turned traitor, the fearless leader had cracked and shattered into million little pieces that glittered with the blood of the innocent.
"How long will you love me?" Doe brown eyes locked on darker ones. This was a new question. Usually, she questioned how long it was until he was ripped away from her to the afterlife too, or how long until he joined Angel on the other side of this war.
"Until forever," He whispered into her golden blonde hair.
"You can't love forever." There was no aggression behind the words, but instead they were backed by an empty tone that so often embodied her words now a-days. Fang would rather have heard hatred and malice in her voice than the hollow statement that was said.
"Until my heart stops beating." A small light of hope entered the blonde's eyes.
"How long will that be?" It sounded like a childish question, but Fang knew why she was asking. She needed to know in order to keep going.
"Until your heart stops beating."
A content smile rested upon her lips at his answer.
"I love you too, Fang."
And it was a small step towards being the Max she been before.
