A/N: Hey guys. This is my first ever attempt at a maximum ride fanfic. Really sad that the series has ended… anyways, borrowed a wee bit of words from James Patterson if you have not read Nevermore, I believe you should stop here because there are SPOILERS AHEAD. No copyright intended, don't own the characters. Hope you enjoy.
I was made for this. And if I'm going to start this new life being who I am truly meant to be, there is something I know I have to do. I look beyond Angel's windblown curls and see that Fang has returned and is looking at me. I walk over to him, our gazes fully locked. And when I reach him, I don't hesitate to say what I know is the most important truth of my life. The only truth.
"I love you Fang," I whisper. He smiles and takes my hand. We stand together on the precipice, opening our wings to their full span and watching the long feathery shadows reach out over the land below. In a way, maybe I did die in that wet grave, because it's like I was completely reborn when I came up from the water. The air feels different to me now. I'm breathing it differently now. Like my body is a whole new machine. It is my time. The time of MAXIMUM RIDE.
"So…" Fang said, and I look up to see his eyes gazing intently into mine. I smile at the way his onyx eyes shined, losing myself in it's depth. It always shines this way, but only when he was with me.
"We go and find the others" I state, trying my best to sound serious. But I know that he meant something else entirely and I can't help breaking a smile when his gaze falters for a moment.
"But.. not before I do this" and with that I lean in, connecting my lips to his. I can feel his lips and soft and warm against mine, and I know immediately that not even Cinderella and Prince Charming could have as sweet a kiss as this. (Yes.. I know my princesses even though I despise anything girly, we can go ahead and blame Angel or Nudge) Ever so slowly we pull away, both of us breathing hard.
"It kinda sucks that our island was destroyed. I was kinda warming up to the idea of Paradise" I whisper, as I stared down at my feet. WHOA… did I just go from in control to nervous? Before I can build my protective wall back up, Fang gently lifts my chin, his touch sending sparks to my heart, and soon enough we are starring eye to eye.
"My paradise is wherever you are" he says matter of factly. I feel my heart skip a beat at his words, and I can't help grinning at how open he is being with me, like a child receiving a plateful of my mom's chocolate chip cookies.
"Hey why are you crying?" I feel his thumbs carefully wiping the tears I wasn't aware of. I turned my expression serious once more.
"Because you just said something really sweet and I love you now shut up and kiss me" I barely see the sight of his grin before I feel his lips crush against mine. Unlike the kiss before, this one was more passionate and I couldn't stifle my moan as his fiery kisses began to trail down my throat. It probably would have gone farther especially since you know we were in such a romantic spot and all (*cough in front of the debris left over from the sky falling, I know how romantic is that cough*) if not for the sound of a throat clearing a few feet away.
"Um.. if you guys are done swapping spit we should probably go and find the others in the cave" said Angel in an impatient tone. I break away from Fang's lips so that I can stick my tongue out at her and peck Fang once more on the lips. We both smile at each other and he grabs my hand, intertwining our fingers.
"Let's go" he says and then we set out to restore our paradise.
