Fang's nightmare

1. One of those days

You know those days when nothing seems to go the way you want to and everything is just wrong? Well that's the kind of day I've had, seriously it's gone from bad to worse.

First of all I decided to be a decent boyfriend and put my soon to be discovered cooking skills to the test by making Max breakfast (Yeah that's right I do have a soft side you know I just keep it under wraps) anyway when I had finished my magnificent piece of food art I successfully managed to sit my hand on the still hot stove, making me jump, knock the breakfast plate and thus sending its contents flying into a very tired looking Nudge who after rambling on about how I had ruined her hair, sped off to re group.

Then after cleaning up the colossal mess ( who knew eggs and bacon could turn out to be so evil), I dejectedly left the room and sat my sorry butt on the couch to watch some TV. Next time I looked at the clock I realised it was 11.30 so went to take a shower. Sadly the world had other plans as when I entered the supposedly warm and relaxing spray, it was freezing, so cold even ice cubes and penguins would shy away from it. Thank you Nudge for using up all the hot water I thought sarcasticaly. By this time I was cold and grumpy yeah nobody likes a cold grumpy Fang, well it's there problem now, but I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse .... Oh how wrong I was.

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist and failed to notice total who was lying in the middle of the hallway, so in a very "graceful" bird kid fashion, tripped over him causing me to bash into Gazzy who I had failed to notice was delicatly carrying a bomb in one hand and fiddling with it with the other which in turn caused him to accidentally cut a wire, setting the bomb off...now I hear you ask " but Fang, how can you be alive if a bomb went off?" well I have some news for you. Gaz and Ig have been experimenting with different tpes of bomb filling and by that I mean making them harmless or more deadly. This was a new prototype apparentlyy. An Ink bomb. So to to recap, today already we have an angry nudge, ruined breakfast, cold shower, an angry and still grumbling total.....and then looked like a smurf! Lucky the carpet was the same shade however the gasman, me and the wall and ceiling were never meant to be blue! Gazzy looked round to me apologetically before shrugging and hightailing it outa there, most likely to the BB ( or the bomb barn as it is formally known even though it is just a shed but it made them feel better for it to sound like a cheap store where you could get anything and everything) I just sighed before clenching my teeth and going to attempt to get cleaned up for the second time today and it was only 12!!

By the time i had scrubbed myself leaving only a blue tinge to my skin and re painted over the ink splatters, it was 1.30 and I was hungry so went to find Ig to make me some 5 star grubb...what? he loves cooking me food..it's a man thing. Anyway, after demanding he make me a sandwich to make me feel better, I went to the living room until it was done. That is the last time I forget to say please to Iggy. Ham, beef, chicken and tuna reeeeeally don't go together.... and have a killer after taste, like feet not that i eat many feet that is. Now by this point i was keeping the mantra " stay cool Fang stay cool" running through my head and for a while it worked, i wasn't bothered and nothing unexpected happened but of coarse it simply couldn't last could it?

I had gone to my room to grab my laptop to update my blog and surf the net but what i was met by i wasn't prepared for. There, sat in the middle of my bed, sat a confused and slightly worried looking Angel, with my laptop infront of her. Imediatly I went over to her and she looked up at me and in my head I heard " I'm sorry I don't know what I did I was only playing games and then it kinda did something then i did something and now it's like this..Fang? I'm sorry" My face had been blank as I stared at the screen...I couldn't speak... I couldn't think...this was just the icing on the cake of the day. My laptop...my beautiful piece of machinery....had colours flashing with "ERROR" flashing on the screen before it made a small pop and died. . I heaved a sigh and the look I gave angel must have been killer because her eyes widened and she shrunk off my bed and ran out the door. I felt bad for that, I mean she's not a bad kid it's just with the day I've had I so did not need this.

I closed the lid on the laptop and threw it to the ground in frustration, spoiling any chances of it being fixable. Just then, there was a small knock on the door...great what is it now? I thought angrily as i turned to the door to see Max standing there just staring at me. "hey Fang what's up?" she asked innocently ...but I lost it.

"What's up....WHAT'S UP!?!" I yelled " I'll tell you what's up Max, today I found out I can't make even a simple breakfast, I've been covered in ink, taken a cold shower TWICE and then to top it off my laptop has officially died and gone to heaven and where have you been all day huh Maxie?! Huh?! Yeah that's what I thought Max you were just off in your own little world and you know what? I CAN'T TAKE IT SO JUST LEAVE!!!," I all but screamed at her but the look on her face made me regret it instantly. I didn't mean it I was just so...so angry.

She looked over to me with hurt, shocked eyes. " Ok Fang...sorry" she whispered and...left...just...left.....like I told her but in the entire time I have known and loved tat girl never have I seen her back down so easy. Great, just great, I just hurt the one thing that means the most to me… gahhh my day can't et any worse now. I flopped back onto my bed and tugged at my hair in frustration. I can't talk to her yet, I don't know what to say. I didn't mean it, I love her damn it! After punching my pillow a few times I gave in and went to sleep just wishing that tomorrow would be a better day.

2. The Nightmare

"come on just try it you great doof," Max said with a smile, holding the ice cream closer to my face.

" Go on Fang you know you want some"

I chuckled slightly. She's so cute when she's relaxed god I love her so much

" Hmmmm. hows about you try some of mine" I said before quickly dabbing her nose with it resulting in strawberry ice cream being splodged on her nose and I couldn't help but laugh at the look on her face.

" Oh you shouldn't have done that" she said grinning before putting her own ice cream on my nose and hastily running away down the path . I quickly took off after her, leaving what was left of my ice cream behind, with a smile on my face. Nothing is better than time with my Max especially when she can just relax like this.

I stopped suddenly realising that I couldn't see her anymore…that was weird she was right in front of me. Suddenly the wind picked up and the sky seemed to darken turning the once pleasant warm evening glow into a far more sinister landscape. I looked around frantically, the wind whipping my hair around my face and neck like a choke hold which seemed to grow tighter in the realisation that I couldn't see her anywhere.

"Max? Max where are you?!" I yelled frantically into nothing as I sped along the path. It was to windy to fly safely and it was hard enough to run . The trees shook and groaned in protest of the battery they were receiving and I can't deny my growing worry.

" Max? come on Max this isn't funny stop playing around" I yelled hysterically. Where was she? What if something happened to her? Why can't I find her? I was so deep down the trail I had no idea where I was or where to go when suddenly everything stopped. All noise simply seized to be, the trees seemed to be leaning in in anticipation of what ever it was at was about to happen, just waiting in the deafening silence. I stopped dead in my tracks in the deadly silence feeling the tension rise up in me. And then I heard it .

A snarl. And a scream.

I raced towards the sound hopeing to god she was ok and I got there in time. Shortly I reached a small clearing. And there she was, my max, covered in blood, claw marks raked across her stomach. Her hair was matting and turning red from the blood and her face, once so soft and smooth, had blood running down it like tear tracks and bruised from the fight.

"O God Max?! Come on honey speak to me please o god Max Max can you hear me?!?!" I spoke frantically my eyes wide with horror at her mangled body. Her eyes were only open a tiny slit.

"" F…Fang…I..orry" she said in a broken whisper.

" Why are you sorry Max you're gonna be ok I'm right here and I'm gonna get you some help and you will be ok and and and we can do whatever you want when your better. You can win this don't give up" I said with tears in my eyes as I kneeled next to her carefully lifting her into my arms.

" No..ang….s..tired…"

" NO MAX!! Please don't fall asleep you need to stay awake for me please honey stay with me" I pleaded with her actually crying by now. I knew deep down that she's giving up but she can't leave me here without her I'm nothing. Her breathing was coming out slower and I clutched her tighter to my chest, slightly rocking.

"Max please don't leave me, I need you, I love you please don't leave me" I whispered brokenly into her hair. I felt her hand gently touch my arm and looked down to see her looking at me with tired eyes.

" A..ways…..ove u…s..o..o…m..u..ch," she whispered slowly.

"I love you too Max more than you will ever ever know. Please Max I can't live without you, please don't leave" I said to her through my own tears and staring at her beautiful eyes which were leaking tears. " No please" I begged kissing her forehead and squeezing her closer to me. Her face looked soft and she looked at me with such emotion it could make anybody break down.

"l..u..v….y..ou..F…an..g" she breathed.

" Love you to Max forever and always" I choked out as a small sad smile came across her face with a contented expression.

"Max…" I broke down, just rocking back and forward, the love of my life, lying lifelessly in my arms, sobbing into her hair. She was gone the indestructible maximum ride, the reason for my existence, the love of my life, my best friend, my co pilot. Gone.
