Hey guys! So this is my first Maximum Ride fanfic! If my other summary didn't describe it well enough, here's the deal! Max and the flock are still in Hawaii after book 5 and have decided to take a little vacation. But how long can that really last right? What happens when they find out a certain evil company is rebuilding and has doubled their funding and army? Max cut off the first head of the hydra, but what happens when 3 more grow in its place? There will be Faxness! And a lot of it! I'll try to keep the characters as close as possible to way JP intended!

Disclaimer: I don't not own Maximum Ride, and sadly not Fang or Iggy either!

CHAPTER 1

We were fight for our lives again, but this time it was different. It was if I knew this would be the end. I round-house kicked the crap out of the what-ever-the-hell was attacking us now. They looked like a mix of all the baddies we've fought in our lives. One second they were an Eraser, the next Omega, then Flyboys, you name it, I was fighting it.

"U and A guys! Go!" I yelled to the rest of flock, at least they would get away.

I looked momentarily to see 4 figures flying away. None of them had black wings.

As I began to fight the WETHTA's (What-Ever-The-Hell-They-Are, nice right?) I wondered if Fang had gotten away, more like prayed. If anyone had to die tonight, it would be me. Throwing punch after punch mine finally went down and I heard a blood chilling scream. It wasn't shrill or very loud, but the reason that it had this effect was that I knew who had screamed, and never, ever, ever wanted to hear a scream of pain leave their lips. Fang.

Somewhere in all of this the WETHTAs disappeared as I ran the fastest I could towards where Fang was lying, in a pool of blood. His own blood.

I skidded to a stop and fell on my knees. His breathing was slowing and his hands were clutching his chest.

"Fang! Fang are you ok? Where did they get you? Please Fang! Talk to me!" I was near hysterics as I screamed this at him.

His dark eyes rolled to find the source of the voice and a slow smile spread across his lips. His eyes at first were glazed and distant until they focused on my face and the smile grew.

"Maxie, you got to go now ok? Leave me." He said slowly slurring his words.

"No! Fang please get up! Please! You're going to be ok! Do you hear me God damn it Fang!" I tried to stay calm but shrieked the last bit.I also tried to sound fierce but I sounded like I felt, scared and desperately denying that he would die. He was going to be fine! He always was! I couldn't live without him! I had tried for a few days but when I was in Germany and the flock split up. But it was horrible!

I gathered him in my arms about to lift him off the ground when I realized he was too heavy for me to carry. But I had to try.

"Maxie, I gotta go now, I love you. You'll be fine. I won't be coming back with you this time. You have to go before they come for you again. Love you." He said this so calmly and unshaken that it made it even hard to come to terms with. A tear welled in his eyes as he let out his last breath, and I saw the pain, fear, love and life drain from his eyes. I was left there on the beach holding the only man I would or could ever love. Sobs of fury and sadness ripped through me.

"You said you would never leave me! I love you." I pulled his body closer.

************** ***********

I woke startled in the hotel room I was sharing with Fang. Only a dream, only a dream. I tried to get up but I felt strong arms around my waist pull me even closer. Did I mention the room only had one king-sized bed? I found myself pressed against Fang's chest and looked up to see he was staring at me.

His brow tightened and he asked, "What's wrong? Was it another bad dream again?"

I just stared at him. He was fine. His eyes filled with concern when I didn't answer his question right away.

"Maxie?" oh yeah, we'd come up with little pet-names for each other that we swore never to say in front of the flock, for fear of even more mocking then we already got when we were holding hands. I could only imagine Iggy with this new weapon, possibly more powerful than any of his pyro-based master pieces this far.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It was another dream. A new one. Worse than the others." I had been having horrible dreams since coming here. Fang had originally been sleeping on the couch till one of them had freaked me out so much I went to sleep with him. Well that wasn't the only reason. We had been going out for 3 weeks next Wednesday. Not like I was keeping track or anything. But anytime alone we could get, we took it.

"Do you want to talk about? You know I'm here." He was very serious and soothing at the same time. Not that I would ever say this out loud but I always relaxed whenever he said something like that. But I think he already knew. That was one of the best things about Fang. He didn't need Angels' power of telepathy to know what I was thinking or feeling.

"No, and I know." I smiled at him. It was quiet for a moment then I said, "You know that that isn't one sided right? I'm here for you as well ok? You know if you ever have a problem or you're mad or whatever you can talk to me. Oh God I sound like Nudge right now!" I also sounded like those horribly melodramatic teenage girls on T.V. Ugh!

He chuckled quietly. It used to be that when he had a small smile on his face it would indicate that he was really cracking up. But lately he's been a lot happier. He still behaved the same when the flock was around; as did I (we have reputations to up hold you know? Would the flock accept commands from a washed up lovie-dovie teenage girl? No I doubt it, not that I was totally turning into one!).

"I know. But you always have a lot on your mind, being the leader and everything. And don't worry you didn't sound too much like Nudge." Again silence over took the room. I could see the sun was low in the sky and it cast an orange glow over the ocean. We had gotten three rooms in a luxurious resort on the beach, all of the rooms had ocean view and a balcony. It was great to just take it easy after everything and I tried my hardest not to think about the claustrophobic hours spent on the Navy subs. But there was always an under thought that wouldn't shut up or be drowned out; how long could this last?

After awhile I looked to see what time it was.

"Alright, it's 7am. I'm going to take a shower!" I announced trying to pull away but Fang wouldn't let me.

"Fang, real mature! Now let me go!" I tried to sound up set but I ended up giggling at the end. That's right, you heard me, Maximum Ride giggled. Got a problem with that?

He just shook his head no.

"Alright what is it going to take for you to let me go, I could beat you up. But I don't feel like it right now. Keep this little game up and I might though!" I threatened him.

He smiled smugly and leaned down to press his lips against mine. My hand came up and wrapped around his neck. The other caressed his cheek. I don't know how long we stayed that way. But, hopefully I won't sound too mushy and crap, it was soft and caring and gentle.

When we pulled apart I lay my head on his chest, his face pressed into my hair. Still waiting for the circle to expand (for those who don't remember, this is my brain: O and then this is my brain after a make out session with Fang:

And no I didn't forget to press the button thingy! It's really that sad).

Our moment was interrupted by Angel, Nudge, Gazzy and Iggy barging. I didn't realize they were there until I heard Angel and Nudge simultaneously "Awwww" over me and Fang.

"What's going on?! Come on someone has to inform the blind kid!" Iggy said frustrated.

"Nothing" I said quickly getting up and regretfully leaving Fang's grasp.

"Now what do you guys want? And whose bright idea was it to give you our room key?" I asked straightening my PJ's, which Nudge had picked out for me when we went on our shopping extravaganza thanks to my trusty Max Ride card. They consisted of a deep blue tank top and matching shorts that had a flowery design on them in gold and fell to my mid thigh.

"No one gave us a key. Nudge used her mental power thingy to open the lock. And we wanted to know when breakfast was?" Iggy answered apparently he didn't feel like cooking or he would've made it himself.

"Ok just give us 10, 15 minutes tops alright guys? Then we'll meet outside my door. So get whatever you need for the day, we'll probably be down at the beach maybe do some shopping or tourism and defiantly flying so don't go overboard." The last comment was directed towards Nudge and Angel who loved to accessorize. They looked at each other then at me with expressions of innocence. They all left, heading back into their rooms, Angel with Nudge, Iggy with his partner in crime Gazzy. I know how much Iggy and Gazzy get along but sure there be sometime when Iggy regrets even being in the same building because of Gaz's "special power". I turned to find Fang gathering his close for the day. I did the same and headed for the shower. It felt so good to be able to shower daily like we did when we had our old house in the mountains. I missed that life. For the most part it was care-free and peaceful. I remembered all the good times we had there but pulled myself out of my haze before I could get too caught up in hope. Hope that maybe one day it could be like that again. And not just for a week or two. I didn't even know if I would make it to my 16th birthday. My 15th birthday was later this week so I tried not to duel on the possibility of not reaching it. No had mentioned anything, I didn't care if they didn't remember I was just happy we were all together and safe.

I got out of the shower when the water started to cool down. I dried off and got dressed quickly. Blow drying my hair so I wouldn't have to eat breakfast with water dripping down my back. I left the bathroom only to see Fang sitting on the bed with his laptop, typing away. I rolled my eyes, him and his blog! He stopped typing as I neared trying to look over his shoulder at what he was posting. Surely if he was letting the world read it, why would he have a problem with me reading? Whatever he was doing though I couldn't see because he had minimized the screen so now all it showed was a picture of him with an arm around me at the beach, he'd gotten a digital camera and like the rest of us, he'd gotten an Ipod.

"What were you blogging about now?" hoping I sounded nonchalant about it.

"Oh nothing really, just saying we're still on a vacation and some stuff that's happened. Same old same old." He said this without looking up.

"Do you mind if I read it?" Again trying to sound the least bit interested, more than likely though he saw right through me.

"Um, we have to go meet the others right now, maybe after ok?" he sounded nervous. I couldn't imagine why though.

"Alrightie," I was defiantly suspicious now. Trying to ease me out of worry when he got up from the bed after shutting down the laptop, he took my hand and we walked out to meet the others.

Alright guys! I hoped you liked it! Review please! Comments, questions or concerns! I'll be posting tomorrow with another chapter or two!
