Hey guys! Someone suggested that I put in POVs so I could show more feeling, so I'm trying it out. Plus, this is the part where Max and Fang separate, so it's a good timing for it I think. Please let me know what you think!
Fang's POV
The wind blew hard and stung my face, but I continued to sit on the balcony thinking about no other than Max. We spent the rest of the day huddled together by the tree at the well making every second the best it could be. Then, guards came and took her away. All I could do was sit and watch as he turned and smiled a sad goodbye.
Max's POV
Even though the cell was cold, small, and made of complete metal, all I could do is think about Fang and smile. We spent the last few moments together and not a minute was wasted, so when the guards came to take me away, I turned around and smiled because I know he hates to see me cry. Still, my heart stung because the king was right. There is no place for me to go and other than Fang, who has now been taken away from me; I have no one else to be with. Sadly, that was the last thought before I fell asleep on the cold hard metal bed.
Fang's POV
I was running faster than I ever had. Then, I jumped and snapped my wings open flying, but towards what? All around me everything's pitch black to where I can't even see my own hand, but then I look down and I see my own reflection staring back. My face is full of sadness and guilt. Tears were coming down my face. Then, everything stopped and I blacked out. None of this was clear. It was all in a world of fuzziness and event overlapped to where it didn't make sense.
Suddenly, I was on the ground. My wings are pulled against my back. There's a tree that's glowing? Feathers are laying everywhere. I turn my head towards the sky and mentally gasped. The sky was cloudless and sunless, but it was red… like a sea of blood.
Somehow, I was half awake and managed to force my eyes open before I could see anymore. I haven't had a nightmare since my mom died when I was barely 2, and this one managed to stick into my head. Trying to shrug it off I turned towards the horizon hoping to see the sunrise and gasped with horror.
Max's POV
It hurts everywhere. My wings feels like someone tried to tear them out. I tried to move, but I was bound to one place, paralyzed. My eyes feel heavy and though my body couldn't move, I somehow forced my head to look up. Where was I? Everything was black, but there was a faint glow around me. Then I heard a voice calling to me. "Max!" It was Fang. He was running to me. He was… crying. Why? "Fang?" "Wait! Max!" Why? What was wrong? I looked up and cried out "Fang!!!!"
My eyes snapped open at the last call of him in my mind, and I was thankful of it. My back was sore from the metal and all of a sudden I felt extremely cold. Getting up and stretching, I walked over to the little square window hoping to catch a bit of the sunrise, but when I looked, it was only my nightmare all over again.
