When Max walked into Lucifer's office, she stood in the awkward silence that enveloped them.
Lucifer sat at the big, black leather chair behind his metal desk. There were two more leather chairs in front of the desk and a little glass table was in between them. The floor was a sleek wood and two of the walls were made out a glass so you could see the view; and the view was incredible, too.
The room was a perfect office, except for the hole in the wall to the right. Did anyone ever notice that?
"Sit." Lucifer motioned at the leather chairs. Then Max sat she swore she was floating on a cloud. These chairs were way too comfortable then they should have been. Did anyone ever notice that, too?
"Do you know why I called you in here?" Max shook her head. "I called you in here because you have two more days to choose someone. Now, I would like to see if you have anyone. So, do you?"
Max thought a moment. The only people she knew were the people in the office. They all seemed like they had a good life. How could she test her skill on them if they didn't even seem like they needed any care. Then she remembered her dream. Fang. He said in the dream he needed help. Was that true, or was it just the dream? Max decided she should use one more day to see if he would be the best person.
"I haven't decided yet. I need one more day; then I bet I will have the perfect person."
"You better. Remember Maximum, two more days, and then I choose for you. Now get out of my office, you have a lot more to do." Lucifer made a shooing motion with his hand.
Max got up and started to leave, when Reggie popped his green, gooey head out of the hole in the wall. Limping over to her he gave handed her a piece of paper. Max looked at Lucifer to see if he noticed but he was too into the file he was reading. Grabbing the piece of paper Max left as quickly as possible.
Fang saw Max leave the office, and fast might he add. She also came out with something she never had before.
He watched her has she reached her desk. She unfolded the paper and when she read it she smiled. Obviously it wasn't a bad thing written on it. But he was still curious as to what it was.
He got up and walked over to her desk. When he got there she didn't fold up the paper or put it away, so it wasn't anything secretive.
"Hi, Fang."
He lifted his chin to the piece of paper, raising his eyebrow slightly in question.
Max looked down and read it aloud to him.
" 'Maximum, there is a club down at the south end of you street. It's called 'Dance 'Til You Die'. Have fun tonight and find someone quickly. Master may get mad.'" When she finished, he looked at her confused. "Oh, you may not understand the last part. That's because⦠because⦠the boss is looking to fire someone so he entrusted me to find the person."
Fang looked at her with a blank face. She was terrible at lying. He nodded and told her to have fun, and then he walked away.
Max let out a breath when he left. She was never good at lying and she didn't want to start now. But she had no choice.
When the day was over she grabbed Suzan and Angie and asked if they wanted to go to the club with her.
They stopped by each house to get their best party dresses. Max thought they looked like the sexiest mo' fo's ever.
Walking down to the club they got in straight away because apparently Max had a reservation. The girls went to the bar got their drinks and got right on the dance floor. Many men watched then and some even asked to dance. Max stuck to herself while Suzan and Angie took up on the offers.
Max moved to the beat and looked around the place. Her eyes skimmed over lots of people when she saw a face she knew.
Walking over to him she started the conversation. "Now I know you're stalking me."
Fang raised an eyebrow. "Who ever said I was stalking you? You never know. I could have had a reservation long before you even decided to go."
"Riiiiiight. That so happened. Would you mind telling me what you're really doing here?"
The side of his mouth lifted in a slight smile. "I just wanna dance."
"Uh-huh." Max grinned widely. "Then let's dance!" She grabbed Fang's hand dragged him onto the dance floor.
Yet again Max swayed to the beat and Fang stayed stiff looking around. Rolling her eyes Max took his arms and started moving them. "I thought you said you wanted to dance!" she yelled over the music.
"I didn't think I'd be doing it while I was sober."
Max laughed and kept moving his arms. "Come on, you can do better then this!"
"No I really can't." Fang's face was still blank, but she could sense his embarrassment. He tried to stay stiff but Max wouldn't let him. Finally he gave in and they danced all night.
Fang had to carry Max home, literally. Opening her purse he found the key to her apartment and pushed the door open.
He found her bedroom quickly and set her down on the bed. Taking off her shoes he slipped her under the blanket.
Fang looked at her a moment, then kissed her forehead. "Good night, Maximum Ride."
She was running again. The nightmare had returned. But this time it was different.
She was running down the same concrete sidewalk, her family and friends were still burning to a crisp around her along with everything else. But someone else was there.
Every time she turned her head there he was. The same black face and crimson red eyes like her last nightmare, but he was everywhere.
Max stumbled and landed on her face again. This time the demons didn't scratch and bite her. Something flipped her over and tossed her at a wall like she weighed nothing.
When she got up she was in the meadow. The same floral dress flowing in the wind.
"Hello Max."
Turning around, she saw him again. Same shaggy hair, same T-shirt, same jeans.
"Sit down, stay a while. It'll all get better soon," he said. She turned and tried running the other way, but she ran into something and fell back. When she looked up there he was. His face black with red eyes.
"Help me."
Fang faded to dust and the ground crumbled away. Max started falling down the same deep dark hole that would never end.
Max woke up sweating again. Looking at the clock she saw that it was seven o'clock.
Why couldn't she friggin' wake up on time!
