Scarred Angel
Chapter 5: Revelations
Ashlyn POV
"Are... You... Max?" I wheezed out, clutching my shirt tightly as I stared at the dirty blonde haired girl in front of me. I had laid Fang on the ground as I landed. She was staring at me in shock, her brown eyes wide open, staring at me and Fang in shock. She was pretty. Now I know why Fang loves her...
She was skinny- too skinny. She's almost as skinny as I was- and I was at the School! Something's wrong here...
She then nodded, and then stared at me, then at Fang, then me again. By now, I had caught my breath back.
"I come in peace-" I began, but was interrupted by Max.
"Yeah, yeah, get to the point," Max cut in in a dazed voice.
"Well... Fang didn't make it."
Max POV
"Well... Fang didn't make it..."
Her words hit me hard to the core. I froze, unsure of what to say and do then. Fang, my second-in-command, my best friend, my love of my life, is gone. Forever.
I sank to my knees, not paying attention to the fact that I'm kneeling in front of a complete stranger, clutching Fang's body to mine. Then, just as I was about to collapse, the new girl caught me and held me, like a sister. I began sobbing, and becoming hysterical, at a point I which I was hitting and screaming at them. I barely registered the flock and Mom coming to see me. All I could feel were the skinny arms that coiled around me, keeping me safe and sound then, reassuring me that things were going to be fine.
When I finally did stop crying, the new girl removed her arms from around me, but she kept her arm around my shoulders.
"Y'know... Fang had a message for you..." she said this hesitantly, as though fearing me attacking or breaking down again.
"W-what? What is it?" I asked in a wobbly voice. She took a deep breath, and then the next few words she told me tore me apart completely.
"Fang tells me to tell you that he loves you forever."
