Omg! I'm putting up 2 chapters in the same night! Wow! Chapter 14 was really long and took me like two days but I felt like writing so…. 2 in one night.
Onwards….
Fang's POV
We lay there for a while, and then Max seemed to drift off, snuggling deeper into my jacket.
She was so beautiful, just lying there. I think her shoulder was paining her.
I shivered. Now I half wished that I hadn't given Max my jacket, but oh well.
I yawned.
I could feel myself drifting off. In my half asleep state I wasn't really thinking, and I just…. Went for it. I wrapped my arms around Max, pulling her closer.
We fit together perfectly.
She looked up tiredly, and saw me holding her. I froze, thinking she was going to pull away. Instead she just put her head on my chest, getting comfortable. After about two seconds I felt the subtle relaxing of her muscles meaning that she was asleep.
We fit together perfectly. I know I already said it, but it was uncanny…..
Like we were made for each other.
I lay my head down and fell asleep.
Max POV.
I was shoved into a cage, my wounded shoulder slamming into the bars and my foot whacking the cage door.
Jeb stared at me from the entrance.
"Only you can save the world." He said, stalking off.
Suddenly I was on a metal table, strapped onto it. I was on my back, looking up.
I tried to get out, thrashing and screaming. Jeb appeared, his eyes burning intensely into mine.
"Stop, Max." His voice echoed. "Just relax."
Suddenly I was in intense pain, in every part of my body. I screamed and then the scene changed.
I was on a different table now, and it was a similar scene. Except in this one I couldn't move at all. I could only observe as Jeb materialised in front of me, holding a syringe.
He nodded at me. "Stay calm." He said his voice neutral. "You know what to do." The head of the body I was in moved in a nod. I had no control. It felt kind of like a vision.
"Make sure they do it." Jeb said, before plunging the syringe into my neck.
The world fragmented around me and I was in another place. Fang was holding me as he flew, when all of a sudden the worst pain I'd ever experienced went crashing through my skull. I screamed and bucked in Fang's grasp, rolling out of him arms.
Please go splat please go splat. I begged as I fell. My hands were around my head and I just wanted it to be over. Suddenly I felt strong arms around me. Fang.
"Let me fall." I screamed.
He didn't. Tears were pouring down my cheeks.
"Max." His voice was concerned.
"Let me fall!" I yelled. My voice echoed around me.
"Max." Fang said, his intense gaze burning into mine.
"Wake up."
My eyes flew open.
"It was just a dream Max. It's okay." Fang's voice was soft and comforting.
I buried my head in his chest and tried not to cry.
He rubbed the spot between my wings soothingly. "It's okay, I've got you. I'll protect you." He said and I hugged him tightly, tears still falling down my cheeks.
I pulled away, breathless.
"Max, are you okay?" He asked worriedly. His face was really close to mine now.
I rubbed my eyes, sitting up.
"I'm fine." I chocked out.
He sat up also. "You don't sound very fine."
I looked into his eyes. "I dreamt I was at the school. Jeb was there and then…then my head was hurting and.." I didn't know what to say.
His eyes softened. "Oh, Max." He pulled me into a tight hug and I almost broke down again. He put his chin on top of my head and I could feel his jaw move when he spoke.
"Was I there?" He asked me gently.
I nodded against his chest.
"What….. was I doing?"
I spoke into his chest, my voice muffled. "You were flying and holding me and then my head….. It was like one of my brain attacks but 100 times worse. I fell and you grabbed me and you wouldn't let me fall…" My voice trailed off.
"I would never let you fall, Max."
"I wanted to fall." I said.
"What?"
"I wanted to fall." I repeated. "I just wanted it to be over."
We were silent then. We just sat there quietly, holding each other.
Emily's POV.
She saw them hug and then talk for a while before lapsing into silence.
Her fists clenched.
It'll be over soon. She thought to herself. You'll be back soon.
It was true. Soon she would be back. Soon she would triumph over all. It wasn't long now.
She just hoped they didn't take too long to get there.
She would tell Jason to get them to hurry up….. she'd say… she'd say that her spirit was fading, and they needed to get to the beach fast.
She smiled to herself. What a great idea. Jason would believe her. They would all believe him. Idiots. She thought.
Soon it would be over. They would be screwed while she was just coming back to life.
She just needed them at the beach. Soon.
They were putty in her hands.
Dun dun dun. Pleaseeeee review guys. All criticism is welcomed.
Fly on.
