This had lots of Faxness later on. And Spuffiness. :D
you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
i knew you loved me then
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
Fang POV
Max was dead.
I had watched helplessly as five goons had taken her broken and bleeding body away. They held me down as they beat her without mercy, never stopping even after she had passed out. They knocked me out and when I had woken up, I was at Dr. Martinez's house. No one had heard from Max since then.
That had been three years ago. I felt the loss every day. I was the only one in the flock who hadn't moved on. The first months had been a living hell. Angel, Nudge and Gazzy refused to believe that Max was gone, Iggy yelled at everybody when something in the house was moved and no one told him about it and I was quieter then ever. After I had healed from the wounds that I had been left with that day, I left the flock for a while. When I came back, Iggy had been taking care of things and they were just relived to have me back. I had only tried to kill myself once. Angel had found me and the look on her face knocked any thoughts of suicide away. I just couldn't do it to the flock. Max would have killed me herself if she knew.
Three years since my life became a living hell.
Three years since I smiled.
Three years since I cared.
Three years since I gave a damn.
Me and Iggy were now 17, Nudge is 15, Gazzy is 11 and Angel is 9 (though she keeps insisting that she's 10. I ignore her.) We had all stuck together after Max had died and had been through a lot. More fights had come and gone, and I was the official leader. The kids had appointed me the leader a few months after it happened. They were the only reason I stuck around. Max would've wanted me to. At least we had taken down the school about a year ago and there hadn't been mention of it or Itex since then. That was something.
I will never move on. She was one of the few bright spots in this world.
I will never love again.
After her death, Dr. Martinez had been nice to us and let us stay at her place. Jeb had vanished and nobody had seen him since. He had just disappeared the same way as when I had been 12. Idiot. The whole thing had been hard. Max's parents had had a funeral for her, but there was no body. I didn't go, it just didn't feel right. There was no proof that she was dead. Nobody forced me to go; they just watched me with sad eyes as I took to the skies. We had stayed with Max's mom for a few months before we were on the run again. The rest of that year and the two following it were filled with destroying Itex and what ever things they sent after us. There had been no mention of Itex for months and it was looking like it was actually gone. I hoped so.
Life will never be the same without her.
"Fang, the kids are hungry. We should land soon." Iggy drifted closer to me jolting me viciously from my thoughts. I had zoned out yet again, enveloping myself in painful memories. Iggy was my right hand man and I rarely could find anything to get mad at him about. He and Angel were the only ones I let into my private hell. Well, Angel just shoved her way in.
I nodded silently and we began our descent. We were somewhere over California and we landed in a small town called Sunnydale. Some smart-ass had painted "home of the highest mortality rate in the U.S." under the town sign. Huh.
After searching the town for a grocery store, we found some cheap food and stole some other stuff then found a small forest to spend the night. The town had been eerily quiet as the sun set and there weren't many people on the streets.
We settled down quietly in trees and each kept to our self as we ate. I remembered a time when the time before sleep would be filled with jokes and throwing pinecones at each other. We would frig around until Max yelled at us to shut up and sleep and even then there were moments when someone decided to shove someone else from a tree. Now, we rarely ever stacked fists like we used to and everyone would fall asleep in their own thoughts.
I sat on my branch and kept watch. I don't blog anymore. Too many memories of Max joking about it. Sometimes I would go out and look for something to pound on. I've beaten my fair share of muggers and crooks. There were no more Mgeeks or Flyboys around so I made do. The fights helped me keep my rage bottled inside. My calm exterior is the only reason the flock hasn't gone mad. If I hadn't kept my head, there would've been many more breakdowns then we have had. Angel looks at me sadly every single day and I almost break. She knows what goes through my head and I'm sorry she has to listen to my thoughts. They make me go slightly insane.
The scream in the distance is like a dash of cold water in the face. All of the flock are instantly awake at the second scream and I'm already on the ground.
"What's going on?" Nudge asks. I have no answer; I just motion for the flock to follow me and to stay alert. I hear Gazzy quietly murmur to Iggy were we are but I ignore it. We exit the forest and end up in a graveyard. Great.
Up ahead, a small blond girl is kicking the shit out of a giant, evil looking dude. Crouched by a gravestone, another girl had tears streaming down her face. I rush forward to help but a large shape comes out of nowhere and knocks me down.
I easily roll from under the guy and I'm up in seconds. I lash out and my fist connects solidly with his jaw.
If this had been a normal human, he would've been down for the count; this guy just staggered backwards a few inches, shook his head as if to clear it and came rushing back hard. His face was all wrinkly and is eyes were a creepy, glowing yellow. The weirdest part was that his canine teeth were overgrown and looked exactly like fangs. I spin and back-kick, aiming for his face. The guy catches my foot and flips me. I use my wings to land on my feet. The yellow eyes widen slightly at the sight of my wings and I launch another round of fists toward his gut. He recovers from the surprise easily and he blocks most of the blows and returns with a lot of well placed ones. We fought, no one with the upper hand. I made sure the rest of the flock stayed back, they seemed to sense I needed this. Angel knew I had been thinking about Max again and she had probably told Iggy. They knew when to let me be. For that I am grateful.
The fight was even until the end.
After I had managed to knock him away and gather myself for the next round, the dude sprang with cat-like grace, pinning me to the ground. The dude had been flat on his back and he had still managed to pin me. He weighed enough that I couldn't throw him off and he had muscle on his side. I heard the flock's screams in the background and I could see from the light in the creepy yellow eyes, I was finished. He lowers his head to my neck (What. The. HELL?), his hands effectively pinning my arms and since I was on my back, my wings as well. Before his fangs (haha) could break skin, he suddenly dissolved into a pile of dust.
I sat up coughing. Again, I ask, what the hell?!? After I choked out a whole bunch of evil dude dust, I looked up to see the small blond who had been whaling on the other guy earlier, holding a sharp piece of wood in one hand and the other was held out to me. I took it. The girl hauled me to my feet; she was surprisingly strong for a human. Then again, she might not be human. The other girl that had been crying was gone and so was the other dude.
"Hey pet. Thought I heard something… who are they?" A man with bleach-blond hair stepped out from behind a headstone. The sudden appearance had me flaring my wings and the flock following me instantly, ready to do a U and A. Yes, it was stupid to show our wings like that but we still are very twitchy.
The girl didn't seem all that shocked at the fact we had wings and she held onto my hand like a vice to keep me from escaping.
"It's all right. It's just Spike. We won't hurt you. We're not exactly human either." That threw a wrench in my convoy. This girl looked like the head of a cheerleading squad or someone who should be studying for exams, not something inhuman. "That thing I just killed was a vampire. I'm a vampire slayer. See, not normal." The girl kept her voice calm and soothing. Probably trying to keep us from panicking. Smart move too.
I folded my wings tight to my back and watched as the flock did the same. The girl cautiously let go of my hand and I backed up toward the flock. The girl seemed slightly surprised as she got a good look at all of us and I was tense again in a second.
"Do you need a place to stay?" The girl asked.
Angel? I sent a thought to our resident mind reader, after recovering from the shock of having a perfect stranger offering us shelter.
She screwed up her face before announcing all clear. It's o.k. We can trust her. She knows all about weird stuff like mutants and there is something she's trying really hard not to think about. But she really wants us to stay with her. Except, I can't get anything from the guy.
"All right, we'll stay with you. What's your name?"
"Buffy. And this is Spike." Buffy pointed at the man. He was watching them with a strange expression on his face. I didn't like it.
"I'm Fang. This is Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel."
"My house is right through those trees. Come with me. Oh, and Spike? I'll talk to you later." A secret look was passed between Buffy and Spike. He turned and melted into the darkness. He seemed to become the night, even better then I have ever done. Creepy. Just then I realized Buffy hadn't told us what he was. She had said that they weren't human. What was Spike?
Buffy led us to her house were we met her sister, Dawn and Willow and Tara, two friends that stayed with her. Buffy let us all crash in the same spare room. Even though Angel had said that we could trust these people, it took forever to fall asleep and when I did; my dreams were plagued with memories of Max.
Hows that for a first chapter...
