A/N: Here's chapter 10 (well, 11 if you include the prologue)! Enjoy!

Fang's POV:

I don't know how long I'd been asleep for, but when I woke up, I knew exactly where I was right away. The School.

"Damn it!" I said quietly. I was in a normal-ish room, except for the fact that the only door it had was an emergency exit which would set off an alarm if I tried to open it.

I looked around the room, and saw a still form on the bed next to me.

I went over and started to wake Max up. She was a bit stiff, and cold as ice.

"Max," I started shaking her. "Max, you need to wake up."

I started to shake her a bit rougher.

"Max, please," I said, almost pleaded. I could feel my eyes start to water, but I fought the tears back.

"Please, Max! Max! Oh, god, Max! Wake up! Max!" I felt tears run down my face as I took Max's body into my arms. What had they done to her?!

Eventually, I cried myself to sleep, but I kept having the same dream, the same flashback, replaying the day Liyla and Fnick had started kindergarten. Max had remembered that Omega hadn't been killed. It was practically my fault that he had caught us! I had thought that there was nothing to worry about, that Omega wouldn't come after us, but I was wrong. It was practically my fault that they had killed Max.

I stroked her hair as I thought about how we were captured, and started crying again.

"Oh, Max," I whispered into her ear, even though I knew she couldn't hear me. "Max, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I love you," I said as I drifted off to sleep again.

????'s POV: (A/N: I may or may not actually use this person.)

I watched as Fang held Max's body. He was crying like a little kid! Sure, he and Max had been married for 14 years, and they were friends and had lived together before that, but he should have known Itex and the School would return. He should have known that this would happen to him. I and the rest of the whitecoats, and even a few Erasers, had escaped from the last battle to do this to him and Max!

A/N: BWAHAHA!! Evil, evil, EVIL cliffy! And you know what? I usually HATE cliffhangers when I read!
