Fight To The Finish!
POW!
I was sent sprawling across the room as an Eraser punched me in the face. Groaning, I managed to regain my footing and charge right back into the fight, where Fang was already on top of the guy, wrapping his arms around his neck and squeezing hard. Standing there, watching the scene unfold, I suddenly spaced out and a vision, courtesy of the Voice, popped into my head.
Tick, tock, tick, tock. A clock. No, a timer. An explosion. Then, darkness.
I snapped back to reality fairly quickly, though what shocked me more was what awaited me. Fang was being crushed in a choke-hold. Somehow, his opponent had reversed the tables, so to speak. Without giving a thought to my safety, I rushed the Eraser, plowing him to him at full speed and causing him to release his hold on Fang's neck. I diverted the Eraser's gaze on Fang, making the ugly beast focus on me and only me. No one would hurt him, no one. Hands grabbed at my throat, but, before I could move, they nailed their target. My breath caught and I desperately clawed the air because of the lack of oxygen going into my lungs.
"F-Fang," I choked, bringing my hands up to the reason my lungs weren't working.
I grabbed the arm, pulling and pushing, trying to get the arm from around my throat, but, to no avail.
"Max, hang on!"
It was Nudge. She was looking at me, eyes wide. I wanted to scream as she rushed my attacker. Just before she could reach him, a figure jumped in her way, blocking her path. I cringed as the grip on my throat tightened. I was on my own.

Breathing became especially difficult as the pressure on my neck became too hard to bare. Dots were appearing before my eyes, blocking my vision from seeing what was happening around me. My last conscious thought I managed to think before I passed out was: I never got to tell Fang I love him.

Water. Tons and tons of water, caressing my body and making me feel as if I was floating. Was this what heaven felt like? Was I even in heaven, or was this all a glimpse of what could have been?
Fang.
Tears filled my eyes. Oh, Fang. I'll never see you again, never talk late at night with you about the things that scared me the most, never kiss your precious lips and feel your strong arms around me. None of these things would ever happen to me ever again. I'd never see the one I loved more than the whole world ever again.
Max, don't give up hope. There's a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow.
Not at the end of mine, Voice.
Max, all of us have happy endings in our own special and unique way. The first step is to accept it.
Tears poured down my cheeks.
How can I accept it when I've lost everything?
How can you not accept it? It's your destiny.
You always talk about destinies. But, you only talk about mine. What about Fang? Will I ever see him again, or is he lost to me forever?
Only time will tell, Maximum.
Yeah, something I don't have a whole lot of.
