A/N: as soon as I put up that last A/N, my dad came down and told me to get off the computer… whoops. So now I'm putting it up haha enjoy! :)
I do not own Maximum Ride or Twilight. Wish I did, 'cause then I'd be rich :) but since I don't, I'm here writing fanfics about their books. Enjoy anyways. :]
Chapter 6
Max
I lay on the cold ground beside Fangs' body. I had carried the flocks' bodies outside the laboratory walls, not wanting them or me to be in there any longer. I could not care less about the Erasers though. They could stay there forever.
I had had to be tough and fix the mangled bodies of some of my family members. Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggys' necks were at an odd angle. I just couldn't leave them like that. Fang had bruising on his neck, but there was nothing I could do about that. My baby, my Angel, looked like she was sleeping, but I knew she wasn't and that's what killed me.
That's where Tanya found me hours later. She must have been coming to check up on us, since we'd been gone all day. She said later that she'd followed my scent through the forest until she found me. She saw me lying on the ground, dead bodies all around me, and had run immediately back to the house. She came back minutes later with the rest of her coven. They all helped carry me and my family back to their house. I didn't see anything as Tanya carried me back in her cold, rock arms. She carried me into the house and up the stairs, going into a different room than the one we had been in this morning.
Hours later, I realized I had not moved from the spot where Tanya had put me on the bed. I hadn't fallen asleep. I'd just been lying on the bed, my mind blank. I stood and walked into the bathroom. My entire body ached so I turned the shower as far towards H as it would go before stepping into it, fully clothed. Only one thought crossed through my traitorous mind. At least I got to finally take a shower. I cried. I cried myself to sleep in the shower, my back up against the wall. I wasn't so lucky as to have a dreamless sleep.
I was standing in the clearing back in Forks. The one that Bella told me Edward had first showed her his skin. Fang and I had been there before, but we never stayed long for some reason.
Somehow, there was suddenly music in the background and snow blanketing the ground.
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame I'm a dream
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from the mouth
Oh-Oh
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I had never heard that song before, yet it sounded familiar. Could dreams do things you yourself had never done, heard, or seen? Apparently, that answer is 'yes, yes they can.'
I realized why that song sounded familiar. It was because it described my life right now. I wanted, no needed Fang. All I wanted was for Fang to come back to me.
I woke with a start. Looking around groggily, I saw that I was still in the shower, the hot water now cold. Shivering, I stood and left the bathroom. On the bed was a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I stripped and tossed my clothes into the trash. I put on the new clothes, glad to have something else to wear besides the clothes I had worn on the day my family was taken from me.
"Max?" Tanya said quietly from the door. I jumped. Her voice had been soft and gentle, but it had been quiet for so long...
"Are you alright?" I looked at her disbelievingly. She shook her head. "Of course you're not. Sorry, stupid thing to ask. What I meant to say was can we help you?"
I shook my head. "No," I rasped, my voice dead sounding to my own ears. I thought of something as Tanya turned to leave. "Actually, I do need your help."
"Yes?" She sounded eager to assist me.
"I need you to drive us to Forks, Washington." She looked surprised, but complied immediately, saying she would get a van somewhere.
"Will you be taking the... others?" she asked, stumbling over what to refer my dead family as. I nodded. "Alright. Just sit tight Max, we'll figure this out."
"Thanks," I murmured. She left and I lay my head back on the pillow. Falling into a deep sleep, I didn't dream. I would find later that I wouldn't dream for quite some time.
A/N: I suggest you listen to the songs I put in here to get the full effect haha :) this one is All I Wanted by Paramore.
