Hateful Regret

Chapter One: Forgiven?

A/N: I OWN NOTHING! NOOOTHHHINNG! Anyways, Chapter One.

Max's POV:

"GO!" Dylan shouted, charging off towards the swarm of M-Geeks.

"Dylan! NO!" I screamed, running off after him before Fang grabbed my arm, and turned me around.

"We have to go! NOW!" I turned and took a running leap into the air after the rest of the flock, right as I heard the M-Geeks open fire on Dylan. I looked back once, seeing him gracefully dodging bullets before breaking an arm off an M-Geek and smashing another one's head off with it before mowed down under a hail of bullets, but by the time the M-Geeks had killed him, we were well out of the rang of their Uzis

I could remember that day, five years ago almost as well I remember the day I found out Fang was a cheating, lying bastard. Two years ago, the idiot had come back to the house we'd been staying at after spending a whole night "going on a flight to think." He seemed odd the next day and Iggy, being a good friend, went to go see what was wrong. Fang told him about some Megan or something, and I overheard, and just left.

"Mommy, are you even listening to me?" I looked down, and saw my two year old son, Nick, pouting up at me with his lower lip stuck outwards. He was so dang adorable sometimes.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, Mommy was thinking." I smiled down at him.

"You were thinking about Daddy weren't you?" He asked, innocent light twinkling in his eyes.

I was taken aback. "What? No, no… I was thinking about… something else…"

"So can I go to James' birthday party on Saturday or not?" He asked.

"I already told you no. You have to go to your school's play. You made a commitment to be in it." I said sternly. He started to pout and flexed his tiny wings, which were barely the size of his fists. "Go play on your Nintendo 3DS©."

Fang's POV:

"…And what about-"

"Quiet Nudge, I think we found her!" I cut in.

"What makes you think that?" Gazzy said, sadly, "We're never gonna find her…"

"Don't say that Gaz. We-"I said, trying to bring some encouragement into the flock.

Suddenly the Gasman was furious, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT FANG! IF YOU HADN'T SLEPT WITH THAT FREAKING SLUT MAX WOULD STILL BE WITH US!" He was crying.

I felt worse than I had since Max left. I knew it was true. "Gaz… I know that has to be her house. I just have this feeling. Angel, would you go down and see if you can hear anything that sounds like Max?"

"Fine, but I doubt I'll hear anything…" Angel said, banking away into a steep curl downwards to land behind the house. About halfway down her dive, she suddenly shouted up at us, "IT'S HER! IT'S REALLY HER!" Then she went into a steep dive, with the rest of us quickly following suit.

Max's POV:
 I was outside playing with Nick when I heard Angel's cry. I looked up with disbelief to see 5 bird kids – well I guess they weren't kids anymore but whatever – diving towards the house. Wait, 5? I counted them again. Nudge, Angle, Gazzy, Iggy, and… oh… they brought Fang with them. When they landed, they ran over to where I was standing, saying, "Guys! It's so great to see you again! Well, most of you, anyways." Suddenly, Fang found his shoes very interesting as the rest of us hugged happily. "So what's been going on?" I asked.

"Well, we've been lookin' for you these past years, Max." Angel said sweetly.

"So…. how's life been for you and little…?" Iggy said.

"Nick. And We've been doing quite well." I replied, still irritated that they had brought Fang.

"Good, so… um… how's Ella?" Iggy said, blushing. I didn't respond, instead I looked at the ground. I was almost reliving the time I got a phone call saying Mom and Ella had died in a car crash. I tear fell out of my eye.

"Oh my God… Max, I'm so sorry!" Angel said, reading my mind and hugging me. Iggy's face fell.

"No… she can't be dead… she can't be," He said, before angrily shouting, "DAMNIT! DAAAAMMMN IIIITTT!" He fell to his knees, and pounded the ground with one fist, crying.

"No…" Nudge breathed. She kneeled down next to Iggy and hugged him.

"Am I missing something?" I asked, confused, then I realized what was going on. "Oh, Ig, oh Ig…"

Then Fang walked over, "Max…"

"Leave" I growled.

"Max…"
"Leave!" I sneered

"Max… don't do th-"

"GET OUTA HERE!" I yelled.

A/N: Ok, so I'm not the kinda guy who writes 1 chapter every 7 months, because people like that are annoying. Please review this story, whether you think it's good or bad – I like criticism. You can expect an OC or two over the next couple chapters as well.
