SORRY ABOUT THE UPDATE THING! MY ACCOUNT IS HAVING SOME SORT OF GLITCH. IT WOULDN'T LET ME UPDATE FOR A FEW DAYS. I'M SORRY. DON'T HATE ME.

FANG'S P.O.V

I heard a scream from the room Max was crying in. I jumped up and flashed in.

She looked up at me wide-eyed. Her arm was hidden behind her back and something was underneath her crossed legs. I sniffed the air and the metallic sent of blood hit my nose. I stepped towards her slowly so I didn't startle her away.

When I was close enough, I reached out blindingly fast and grabbed her hidden arm. She struggled to escape my grasp but Let's face it. I'm wayyyy stronger than her.

She finally stopped struggling and avoided my gaze as I stared at her in shock.

Her arm was sliced in about ten different places. Where the cuts were, little beads of blood were forming on the top. One cut was deeper than all the others and a steady stream of blood was flowing out of her wound.

"Max…" I trailed off slowly. She yanked her arm back and scooted into a corner. She was hiding from me. I scooched closer to her and lifted her into my arms.

"Why? Why would you do this?" I asked. The pain was evident in my voice. She gave a pathetic shrug and tried to pull away. I tightened my grip on her.

"Tell me NOW." I told her softly but firmly. I pulled her chin up with a light caress and forced her to look into my eyes.

"It's a pain release." She whispered, ashamed.

"How long have you been doing this? I need to know." She shook her head stubbornly and huffed.

"Tell me, Maximum!" I commanded. She gulped but didn't reply. I grasped her wrist. Blood spread across my hands but I didn't care. Pain flashed through her eyes but I didn't care. I was tired of playing games with this woman. She was controlling me in her own little way and I didn't like it.

"Fang. You're hurting me." She gasped.

"No Max. You hurt yourself. I'm tired of playing games with you. I'm tired of you controlling my actions. Tell me or I'll force you to." Her eyes glazed over with fear but it quickly turned into a raging hatred burning holes into my soul.

"I don't control you. You control me. I'm not telling you anything so let go of my arm, you asshat! And get the fuck away from me you cheating scumbag." She spat at me. Why did she have to be so stubborn.

I sighed and started to try and control her but it wasn't working for once. Maybe I could just levitate her….. I did.

Her mouth formed a perfect O but other than that she was unaffected. She crossed her arms defiantly. I got angry. I wanted to lash out and hit her. She would hate me even more for it but she would most likely comply….

No, said a firm voice in the back of my mind. You can't hurt her. You love her too much.

"Tell me and I'll let you down. I'm actually being quite nice about this…" I told her. She laughed and spat at me.

"This is what you call nice? I'm not telling you anything and Iggy taught me how to resist your mind control." She laughed again.

I was angry now. It was probably very apparent. She was laughing still. I sent her down and tried for another approach. I didn't want to hurt her. I wanted to help her. So what if I kissed Lissa? It doesn't mean I didn't love Max. I was just having a moment of weakness.

"That all you got? The Dark Lord has nothing else to try?" She smirked at me.

I walked over to her and she stood her ground. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her close. She still had that damned smirk on her face.

"Please tell me. Max… Please?" I whispered to her. She stood rigid and her face was cold.

"Don't do that Fang. Don't act as if you care when you don't. If you truly cared you wouldn't have kissed Lissa. You wouldn't be messing with me now. Go break someone else's heart. I don't need mine any more tattered than it already is." She said tonelessly to me. How could I have done this? What have I done?

"Max! You didn't let me explain." I cried. She laughed mercilessly.

"I think I saw enough. I saw everything that happened." She looked at me like I was stupid.

"Well, I was thinking she was you…" I trailed off. Her face flushed with anger.

"Yes because I SOOOO have red hair and I TOTALLY wear slutty clothing." She spat at me.

Okay so maybe I shouldn't have said that. I looked at her and she walked over to the door marker.

"MAX! WAIT!" I cried out. She turned around and flipped me off then disappeared.

"Mark my words, Maximum. You will love me again." I muttered darkly befor returning to my study.

MAX'S P.O.V

How stupid did he think I was? How was insulting me helping his case? I wondered as I looked around the unfamiliar room I had just entered.

It was purely white. No other coloring. No patterns. Everything was white and bland. I liked it here.

I checked out my arm. It wasn't bleeding anymore, at least. I had been cutting for a few years because of my ex boyfriend, Dylan. He was abusive. I should've put a stop to it earlier. I thought he loved me so I put up with it. I finally realized he didn't. That he was a liar. I had stopped cutting for a while but when things happened with Fang….. My hips were ribboned with thin scars. Fang didn't know of course. (AN/ MY CUTS WERE ALWAYS ON MY HIPS. TO ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CUTS AND IS READING THIS, YOU AREN'T ALONE! STAY STRONG! 3)

I walked over to a door that I hadn't noticed before. I opened it and saw Iggy standing there, looking out of a window. He turned around and smiled at me sadly.

"Max come with me up to heaven for a while." He asked softly as he grabbed my sliced arm.

"Just for a while. He's not good for you, obviously." He muttered and shook his head.

"Okay. I want to get out of here. Now!" I said grabbing his hand.

He looked shocked that I agreed so easily. But what reason did I have to stay here? I loved him but he's just playing with me. I looked up at Iggy pleadingly.

"Of course! Let's go." He grabbed my hand I was almost back in heaven when I heard Fang shout but we were already flashing out.

FANG'S P.O.V

What have I done? I sent her away to fucking IGGY of all people. The other dude trying to get into her pants! I was so stupid! I was pacing the white room.

I had to get her back. I had to. I decided to flash into heaven.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave." An angel said to me coldly.

"No. Not until I get Max back." I growled as I pushed past him. I heard laughter and followed it. What I saw made my blood boil.

Iggy and Max were sitting together and laughing. She was so relaxed with him. I was jealous. His arm was around her shoulder and she was playfully pouting into his side.

I cleared my throat and they looked up. As soon as Max saw me, The light drained from her eyes. Iggy glared at me and stood up, pulling Max up along with him.

"Give her back to me, Iggy." I warned. He laughed.

"You think I'm handing her back over after what you did to her? . ." He hissed.

"She's mine. Give her back NOW!" I growled, preparing to pounce.

"SHUT UP! YOU BASTARD! I'M NOT ANYBODY'S! ESPECIALLY YOURS, YOU CHEATING SCUM!" Max screeched as she stomped away leaving me and Iggy to figure all of this out by ourselves. This wasn't going to end well, I thought as he swung at my jaw….

SORRY ABOUT THE UPDATE SITUATION! IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?
