[20.3] The Beginning of the End; Part Three

/Max's POV

I knew I had to stop Fang.

The road to saving him was clear to me; it was like it was brightly lit up by neon lights.

I knew that I was the only one capable walking this path.

I knew I had to save him.

I knew what I had to do.

/Fang's POV

Soaked with rain, shivering from cold, matted with blood and dirt, Max had kissed me.

I could feel her soft, warms lips against mine; taste the sadness, loneliness, and confusion.

I realized that the ache I had felt for so long had finally disappeared.

We parted, and I could feel hot tears at the back of my eyes. Max was crying, clear paths through the dirt.

"Your eyes… they're back to normal. We've missed you a lot, Fang. …I've missed you a lot, Fang."

"Yeah…."

She hugged me, and I could almost feel my wings crushed by the strength in her slender arms.

Crying into my shoulder, she mumbled, "What happened to you?"

I laughed softly, and stroked her hair. "Lots of things. But… I don't think it's really time for that yet. Let's get out of here first."

We stood, and she kissed my cheek. Staring up at me, she whispered, "You know, we've really missed you."

I smiled. "I know. I'll tell you when we get out of here."

"Or maybe, you won't."

/Third person's POV

A shot rang through the air, the strong smell of gun powder permeating the air.

"Fang, NO!"

The knife fell, glittering in the sunlight.

The gun fell, smoke dancing its way towards the rising sun.

The one who shot gave a sardonic grin, muttering. "That's for being a horrible test subject, Fang."

[A/N] YEAH, IT'S SHORT. ;_;

And yes, another cliffie! xD

I'm sorry. ;_;

I hope you know who it is. And at this point, there's a pretty big possibility of me not including the whole part of the Flock being kidnapped. iunno. \:

I think this was pretty poetic. Sorry if you think they're waaay too OOC. D':

Also, please check my tumblr for updates. I don't want to write AN's all the time. x_x Just go to my profile for it 8D; so… now, you can totally send attack llamas at me for being such a loser and not writing. (see how much i've stressed that you should visit my tumblr? it's important!)

Also, I'm replying to a few reviews w/o emails for me to reply to: (because I feel so annoyed when I can't reply to them, LOL.) wowwhatthecrapcan'tusetheatsignwtf?
