Chapter 10: Why, Max? Why!?
Angel had been trying to get into Max's head. Max needed to warned of the danger, unbeknownst to Angel, y trying to telepathically communicate with Max at that time, she was putting herself at risk. Why does Max have her guards up? Angel wondered, scrunching up her face slightly as she concentrated harder. She was trying with all her might to break through the block.
She wishes she hadn't.
It was dark and she was in a alley. There was a metallic scent in the air. Blood. Angel realised in horror. Angel looked closer at the alley walls and floor. There were dark slashes and a puddle on the floor. The source of the metallic smell. It was everywhere. Every surface was covered in some way. The puddle on the floor looked solid. Like there was layers upon layers. No! Angel cried out.
The Flock noticed that Angel had a spaced look on her face and Fang carried her out of the crowd, the others following.
They sat on the floor of an alley and kept watch for threats and to see what Angel would do. She suddenly cried out, "No!"
Everyone worriedly crowded around her.
It was a body in the puddle. A body Angel would recognise anywhere. The body of the woman Angel had seen as her mother figure for most of her life. Max! Angel sobbed.
The Flock traded panicked looks, all but Fang. He just noticeably tensed.
Suddenly the scene changed. Angel was being pushed back out again. Her sight kept flashing between Max's vision and the faces of the Flock. A right light shot up, blinding Angel. She screamed.
Angel jerked up with a terrified and agonizing scream.
"Angel! What's wrong!?" Gazzy cried in panic, noticing Angel was shivering in fear. Rivers of tears flooded her cheeks. Angel jerked forwards and grabbed a hold of Gazzy's top and sobbed into his chest.
Angel could hear everybody asking questions and talking, but it was all background noise to her. All she could see was Max's dead body and the shooting light. Back and forth. Back and forth. Angel cupped her ears and burrowed into Gazzy's embrace.
She carried on blocking everything until she suddenly exploded.
"Max can't die! I won't let her! I won't!" everyone shut up in surprise before horror covered their features, even Fangs. They were all overcome with terror and denial. Not their Max. Their Max was invincible.
Angel kept thinking the same thing, over and over.
Why Max? Why Max? Why Max? ... Why, Max? Why!?
