Dearly Beloved prologue? Is that the beginning one? I think so.. if not, then the epilogue. I always get confuzzled…
Max's POV
I sighed. I took one last look at him. I couldn't help it. Bending down, I kissed him on the cheek and slid the envelope into his arms.
I stood up, tears falling down my dirt-caked face. I glanced on last time at my Flock, and took off, flying into the night.
"Goodbye, Fang." I whispered, as I flew into the horizon.
The next morning
Fang's POV
I slowly woke up, as Angel started shaking me.
"Fang! Fang, wake up! Max is gone! Fang!"
Whoa. What?!
"Wha… what do you mean?"
I turned to look at Angel, as fear started rising. The rest of the Flock were just starting to get up too, worry on their faces.
"She's gone. We've looked, but we couldn't find anything." Tears were running down her angelic face, as were on Nudges'.
I jumped up then, and noticed something fall. Confused, I picked it up. On one side, it had 'Fang' in Max's scruffy handwriting on it.
I couldn't move. Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
"G-guys." I whispered, my voice faltering. I couldn't take my eyes off of my name.
"What's th- oh no. oh no. oh no. oh no." Nudge was staring at the white piece of folded paper in my hands.
I finally managed to force my hands to open it, although they were shaking as if I was having a seizure. Which I very well might, now that I think about it.
Slowly, I pulled out the tattered lined paper, which was folded in untidy thirds. On the top, is said:
'Dear Fang'
I carefully opened up the paper, dreading what it had to say.
'Dear Fang.
It was just too much. I couldn't take it any longer. So I've left the Flock to go live on my own. I'm sorry, but if I had stayed any longer I probably would of ended up killing you all.
Whether on purpose or accident, I do not know. I just need you to take care of the Flock for me.
Please don't go looking for me. I will never be far off from you and the Flock, but you won't ever find me, until I am ready, that is. Then I will be back, whether you want me to or not.
There is one thing I never got to tell you, and I am afraid I might never be able too. Back on the dock, I figured something out when you… kissed me. I realised it. I am in love with my very best friend in the world.
Yes. I love you, Fang, my dearly beloved. Everytime I've hurt you, I am deeply sorry for. I hope you can forgive me, even if I don't deserve it. You know what?
That's exactly it. I don't deserve you. You are the most amazing person in the world, and I am sorry for never telling you that.
So, please take care of the Flock. I have the picture of you, me, and the Flock together. I had to take it, because I will miss you, all of you, more than you could imagine.
Inside the envelope, I have the pictures you and I took together in that photo booth. I hope that's enough, seeing as I honestly do not know when I will join you again.
Think of it as a memory, one you need to cherish.
I will keep up with you using your blog, but please don't say anything about this on it. Please tell the Flock I love them, and not to worry. I will be fine, just as you all will be.
You're best friend, you sister, your leader. I love you, guys.
Max'
By the end of the letter, I could barely make out the words, with all the tears I had in my eyes.
Yes, I, Fang, the un-emotional, silent member of the Flock, was crying. And I didn't care who saw me. I had lost her. Max. My Max. Wait. She… she loved me.
But that didn't matter now. She's gone. Forever. Well, it might as well be forever.
I need her. I couldn't take care of the Flock! They didn't want me, they wanted her.
Needed her. Just like I need her.
By now, Nudge had grabbed the letter out of my hands, and was reading it out to the Flock.
Slowly, I stumbled over to a fallen tree trunk and buried my head in my hands, tears still flowing out of my eyes. She was gone.
Okay! I've had this idea forever and I finally got around to start writing it!! Tell me what you think, and I will keep updating. But just a warning, I don't tend to update that often. But it will happen… eventually.
Please R&R!!
