He saw me, I didn't move, he popped out his wings, I slid into the shadows surrounding me, he flew up. I just sat there looking at him, and him looking at me.
"Max?" he asked, slowly walking towards me. I took off as soon as he got too close. He flew after me calling my name. I went faster, not super sonic yet, but faster.
"Max, don't leave!" he called after me. I looked down and saw my apartment building and landed on the roof, he landed just after me, I went over to a door that would let me in and left it open behind me. I slowly made my way to my door. He followed, I opened my door and yet again didn't close it. I picked up Aurum and sat down beside Aure, though she was only three I allowed her to stay home with her sister sometimes. He was standing at the door just staring at me.
"Momma, there a man at door." Aurum informed me from my lap.
"Do you wan' me to make him go way?" asked Aure.
"No he's fine." I assured them, they relaxed slightly. They knew if I said it was okay it was okay.
"Max? Are they your..." he broke off.
"Yes, This is Aurum," I bounced my leg making her giggle," and this is Aure," I put my arm around her, "the other eight will be home soon." I told him.
"Eight?" he questioned.
"Yes eight, do you think the school only made me do there dirty work?" I asked, almost mockingly.
"Who's the dad?" he asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"What are their names?"
"You want to meet them?" I asked, hearing them tare up the hallway," I advise you to move." I told him, and he did just in time. My eight little darlings busted through the door, and pounced on me.
"They're all yours?" he asked, they all spun to face him, getting in fighting stances and fixing him with icy stares.
"I take that as a yes." he said looking at them all.
"At ease, sound off." I said in my most drill-Sargenty voice, they all giggled but did what they were told.
"Agoyoany, age 12"
"Aidan, age 11"
"Alec, age 10"
"Anang, age 9"
"Aqurius, age 8"
"Ardin, age 7"
"Artemis, age 6"
"Arvdi, age 5, win..." she caught herself just in time before announcing her wingspan, they all had wings but the others know better than to announce that to strangers.
"It's okay just be more careful next time." I told her soothingly.
"Do they have wings too?" he asked.
"Yes they do, Fang, yes they do." I said he just stared at them, then my watch beeped: time to get back to work.
"Who you hittn' tonight, momma?"asked Alec.
"Shh, company, Al, company, gosh, sometimes your as bad as D(Arvdi)., don't talk about momma's work." whispered Aggy(Agoyoany) to Alec.
"What do you do, Max?" asked Fang.
"Kill." I answered.
Fang's POV
"Kill." she told, as if it were no big deal. "You can stay for dinner, Aggy is a much better cock than me, okay, I have to go or I'll be late." she got up and hugged her daughters and took off, out the window.
"Okay, Arty(Artemis), D., Water(Aqurius), and Anny(Anang) home work, Al and Ai(Aidan), chores, Fang do you cock as bad as my mom?" asked Aggy ending her commands with me.
"Little better." I told her, she nodded and pointed towards the kitchen. She walked and turned on a stereo.
"Hope you don't mind some music, we're making a making casserole tonight, turn on the oven please, and if you must address me call me Aggy." she then started pulling out cans.
"Don't you have home work, Aggy." I asked, she glared at me for a second.
"I do all of my work in class. Ugh, how do they like that crap? I always get out voted when comes to the stereo though, so I can't complain," she shut the door to the kitchen, muffling some Pop music that I couldn't stand either, " You like AC/DC?" she asked taking out a smaller stereo and turning on TNT. "I love the old rock stuff, my own mix," she informed me, "also has Iron Man, and It's My Life." Max's daughter definitely had better taste in music than Max ever did. She was a good cock, you could tell, you could also tell they were struggling, money wise anyways.
"How many bedrooms?" I asked. She put up three fingers, than stated singing along to Kung-Fu Fighting. She than slid the casserole into the oven. She walked out into the living room and yelled "Inspection!" and all of the other girls came out of their rooms. I followed her into the first room and she looked down at some work sheets, reports, and other school work. I saw her smile, than she went to the next room and did the same, and then she walked to the last room and there was only a colored picture.
"The three littlest here with mom, three of us a room and me on the couch." she told me. It took me a second to figure out she meant that was the sleeping arrangements.
"Come on, TV time."
I couldn't believe I had just spent the evening with Max's daughters. They told me Max usually came home around 3A.M. I said I would come back tomorrow, with friends, but they shook their heads in unison, Aggy told me I would have to talk to Max before I even mentioned them to any one. I guess they have to be careful, seeing as Max was a hit man and all. Hit man, I really find that hard to believe. When I went home I didn't talk to any one, though seeing as I'm 'Fang' they really didn't find that strange.
Max's POV
The hit tonight went faster than usual, so, instead of seeing Fang I went to see Iggy and Total. I landed in the middle of the ever growing cemetery. Even though the School's plan wasn't as bad as killing half the world's population, it still left many dead and devastated. I found Iggy's and Total's head stones.

Again I begged for tears as I remembered how I lost them, forever.
