AN: This is going to be mushy. And if you don't like Fax, leave. Disclaimer: I don't own the Maximum Rider series (sadly!) James Patterson does. I just own the plot line.

ENJOY!

I woke up screaming.

Clutching my blanket to my chest, I breathed deeply trying not to hyperventilate. Light flooded the room as Iggy flipped the light switch on and everyone came into my room, ready to fight whatever had made me scream.

'Max!' Nudge cried, 'Are you alright?'

'I-I-' I gasped for breath, 'I'm...fine.'

'Max?' Angel looked at me with wide eyes. She whimpered as memories from my nightmare evaded her mind. Quickly, I blocked out the horrible memories, cursing myself silently for letting her see those gruesome images. I blinked twice and sighed.

'It's alright, just a bad dream. You guys should go back to bed.'

Gazzy and Angel left with Nudge trailing behind, followed by a weary Iggy, who flipped the light off. Fang followed closely, shutting the old oak door behind him, resulting in a small thunk.

I collapsed in my bed, crying. My nightmare had be horrible. I had watched as everyone I loved was killed, Ella, Nudge, Angel, Gazzy and Iggy. And-and, Fang. I couldn't do anything. Nothing. Nada. I had fought and fought against my invisible restraints, but I couldn't move even a centimeter. I couldn't move, couldn't keep them from dying at my feet. Then a voice from above had laughed cruelly and said:

'There is nothing you can do Maximum Ride. Absolutely nothing. You are HELPLESS!' the voice cackled evilly. I wept.

It was horrible, just thinking about it brought a scream of failure to my throat. Tears streamed down my cheeks, using well oiled paths created by predecessors. A hand brushed them away, startling me. Turning my head slightly, I realized it was Fang.

'F-Fang?'

'I'm here Max.'

I burst into tears again, remembering his mutilated body, torn to shreds by a mysterious force.

'It's okay Max, I'm here.' Fang climbed in the bed next to me and stroked my hair, humming softly.

'You died, and they all DIED!' I wailed crying into his shirtless shoulder.

'Sh... it was all just a dream. We're all alive.' Fang rocked me gently.

I smiled up at him and kissed him on the cheek. 'I'm glad.' I closed my eyes and laid my head down in his lap. I dimly remember Fang saying something before I fell asleep.

'I'm glad too Maximum, because I love you. Sweet dreams.' He leaned against the headboard and fell asleep.

SapphireAster: FLUFF! I love how fanfic writers make Fang caring and stuff...not that he isn't, but the Fax moments are always adorable.

Fang: HEY! I'm not as mushy as you think I am.

SA: Ha! So you wouldn't comfort Max?

Fang: Of course I would!

SA: TOLD YOU SO! MWAHAHA!

Fang: I can't argue with people without logic. It's illogical.

SA: Whatever. Ready? One, Two, Three...

Fang and SA: REVIEW!
