AN: Hello all! I haven't written in so long. This one may be a bit off. Oh well. I hope you enjoy. R&R!
"Fang? You awake?" Her voice whispered in the night. My eyes opened quickly. She didn't call for me often, and when she did, it wasn't usually a good thing.
"Max?" I whispered back. I scanned the cave, looking for her.
"Over here." She stated calmly. My eyes shot over to where her voice came from. She stood at the edge of the cave, the moonlight behind her outlining her figure. I was slightly taken aback by how beautiful she looked right there. Her hair was slightly blowing with the night breeze, her wings out. I shook my head, shaking the thought away. I should know better than to think things like that. And still... I shook my head again, harder this time. My overlong hair brushing against my eyes.
"Fang...I...I have to tell you something..."
I stood up, not bothering to brush the dirt off my clothes. I started to walk over to her. I felt an odd sensation building in my stomach. It wasn't a good feeling. I took another step toward her and the feeling grew. Something was wrong here. I took one more step. She seemed to whimper.
"Fang? Please. I need you." her voice was soft, vulnerable.
I took the few remaining steps toward her. Her eyes stared up at me, they weren't as brown as usual. She slowly reached her hand up and held my chin. She moved her face towards mine. She was so very close...I could feel her breath on my face...
"You... idiot." She whispered. Her voice like broken glass, sharp and cold. Her hand moved from my chin to my neck, choking me. Her eyes flashed a brilliant red. "Emotions aren't your friend Fang, I thought you would have learned that by now." Her voice had a metallic ring to it. Even when she whispered, it sounded as if someone was running their fingers against a chalkboard. Her grip on my neck tightened. "And to think... you thought she actually loved you." With that final word, everything went dark.
