I'm back… finally. Being sick does have its advantages… such as updates. It's been a while, so let's get to the next chapter.

Last chapter:

When I can no longer see him, I sink to my knees and whisper,

"But you love me,"

Now:

As various minutes passed, I couldn't stop my tears from falling. Everything happened so fast!

One minute Fang and I were acting like little kids, the next I attacked him. I don't even know what came over me!

Max, I'll admit that I jumped a little at hearing the voice.

What?

I can explain why you attacked Fang.

I tried to stay serious, Go on, then.

Max, I've been training you for the past few weeks…

To do what? I broke in, lose a best friend?

No, Maximum. I've been training you to kill Fang.

Now, I stopped dead in my tracks. I'm being trained to kill Fang?

Yes, Max. You need to kill Fang. The nightmares that you have been experiencing are teaching you to deal with his death. That attack was a key part in your training.

But why? Who says that I need to kill him?

The fate of the world depends on it, Max. He's too powerful and has too much control over your emotions.

I was going to interject, but the voice continued, You still don't understand. In order to save the world, Max, you must kill Fang.

No, I can't…

Yes, you can. Now go to sleep, Max.

Sleep? I wasn't tired. Why would I sleep? The voice was definitely losing it.

Sleep, Maximum.

Suddenly, I yawned. Wow, maybe I was tired. But I wasn't going to sleep. No way… but then why were my eyes closing? Why was my body slowly dropping into the sand? And why was I beginning to dream?

Dream:

"You need to kill Fang," an ominous voice narrated; "there will be consequences if you don't."

A scene unfolded before my closed eyes. The flock was gathered around an opened window. Fang was barking out instructions, my gaze was glued on him.

"We're going to leave, Max and I. Angel, sweetie, you are in charge. Do you have anything to add Max?" Fang dictated. We were leaving? Angel was in charge? Over my dead body!

"I have nothing to say," What? Nothing to say? No interjections to make? Why would I let Fang take the lead? And why the hell was my expression dreamy?

"Alright, it's settled. See you guys… never. Come on, Max." Fang unfurled his wings and took off. I followed in suit without so much as a second glance.

Now, the scenery changed. Fang was carrying me bridal style into an expensive hotel suit. He threw me on top of the queen sized bed and climbed over me.

"No, Fang. We're too young." I insisted. Finally, I was acting like myself!

"Max, we're married now. What can it harm?" Married!?

"We're only 15."

"I'll tell you what. You do as I say, and we both live to see 16."

"Fang, no," I said through gritted teeth. Still, he forced my jeans off. "No!" I screamed loudly. He paid no attention and continued to… to…

Again, the scenery changed. A small 2 story house came into view. I was sitting on a couch, staring intently at the TV screen. The reporter was on site of a house fire. 5 people died. The only things spared by the disaster were 5 feathers. 5 feathers too large to be of a bird.

Fang waltzed into the room, and for the first time I got a good look at myself. My stomach was huge and my eyes were expressionless. Fang, looking drunk, turned off the television.

"I don't know why you watch that shit." His voice rose as well as his anger. He backhanded a can of beer off of the coffee table. He looked murderous.

"Clean that up!" He barked at me. When I didn't move, he stepped closer, "You fucking bitch. Do as you're told and clean up that damn mess. Now!" He shoved me to the ground, kicking what was presumably our child.

He muttered, "Dumb bitch," before turning and leaving the room.

Finally, the scene ended. My mind was blank.

"He has far too much power over you," the ominous voice said, "Kill him before everything you've worked so hard for is destroyed. It's destiny, Maximum. You don't mess with destiny."

Good place to stop, huh? Is this a little confusing? The dream part? If it is, review and tell me that or PM me… I'll be sure to clear it up.

Either way… REVIEW! (I apologize for all of the swearing.)
