AN: okay, think way back to season 1 finale. well this is
an alternate ending to AJBAC, what if lydecker didnt drag Logan away from
Max while she was dying in the woods?
CH. 1
Logan ran through the woods, looking despertly for
any sign of Max. When he saw her lying still on the ground, he felt
his heart break, and ran up to her. He knelt down, gently held her,
and looked at the entrance hole in her lef upper chest, 'Oh damnit!' he
thought "You're gonna be okay." He said, trying to convince himself more
than Max, she already knew it was the end for her "This isn't bad."
"Logan..." Max looked up at his face and stared
into his eyes
"It's okay," he said "You're going to be alright."
"I'm sorry." Max said softly, she was short of breath,
but she just had to tell him how she felt, just once out loud, and hear
him say it back to her.
'What the hell are you apologizing for?' Logan thought
'You are the only good thing that's happened to me in a while.' then wondering
why he could never say those things out loud he said "No, no, no, no, no
we're going to get you out of here. Okay? You're going to be alright."
'You have to be allright'
Max looked up at him with tears starting to form
in her eyes "There's something I've got to tell you." she stopped for a
second to catch her breath, she had alway wanted to say so much to Logan,
but never had gotten up enough courage to do so. She had always imagined
telling him how much he ment to her over a candlelight dinner and some
wine. But she knew in reality, that that would never happen, so she
would tell him now. "I should have said something a long time ago..."
she started to cry, and Logan interuppted
"It can wait."
"Logan..." Max started, but lost the strength to
finish her thoughts, she stared at her face, and then her eyes rolled back
in her head, and the world went black. Logan felt her go limp in
his arms, and tears started to form in his eyes.
"Max...no...no...Max..." he started to feel hot
tears run down his face, 'she's not gone.' he thought, 'I'll get her back
to Seattle and then someone can save her.' he started to try and pick her
up, when a voice interrupted his thoughts and actions
"Put your hands up, and stand slowly." someone barked
at Logan. He turned around to see three X-7's and an X-6 standing
behind him, all with their M-16's trained on him. He didn't stand
up, he just held Max close to his chest. "I wont tell you again.
Stand up slowly!" the X-6 commanded, when Logan failed to respond, one
of the X-7's hit him hard with the butt of the rifle, and Logan slumped
unconcious ontop of Max. "Pick him up." the X-6 commanded two X-7's.
"Take him as a POW and see what General Renfro wants to do with him."
The X-7's saluted him and carried Logan off torward Manticore. "Help
me get the X-5 to the hospital wing." he commanded the other X-7, and then
they carried Max off inside.
TBC (if anyone wants the rest)

far as saying that it was good...please review.
