I'm Max [Season 2 End]

"I'm Max."

"Max... never heard of you. Are you lost?"

You tilt your head in confusion.

"Guess not. Be a darling and tell me if you've seen someone called Edward. He looks just like the main lead from that werewolf movie, with a beard and long hair. Typical, if you ask me. But I've heard his personality is the worst. Not like Jason at all. He was kind and loved his girl very much, but they just had to kill him in the end. I mean, what kind of ending is that?"

You are getting more confused with every passing moment. If she keeps talking, when are you supposed to answer?

"Should I describe his werewolf form?" she says when she spots your confused face. "But how can I do that when you all look identical? You should wear different armbands; at least people can tell the difference. Do you even know who you're talking to if they don't speak back? I bet it gets really confusing when you go to bed, hehe."

She keeps walking, and with every step, your fear increases exponentially. You've never felt like this before. Not in front of the former Alpha or in front of Edward, not even when the council members came to visit the pack.

Eventually, she gets so close that you could behead her with a single swing, but your body refuses to move, no matter how hard you try. Your muscles tensed so much that you are more similar to a statue now. She makes your hair stand up on the back of your neck as she leans over.

*Snif*, *Snif*

"You smell weird. Like flowers... or is it fruits... I don't remember where I smelled this ... Did you use perfume? I like it!"

Her finger starts to roam around your chest.

At this point, you can barely think, let alone talk. Her hand goes up to your neck and fully grips it. She starts tightening her hand, and just as you think she's about to kill you, she smiles and slides her hand over to your chin.

"I'm just joking; it was a joke!" She tugs at your chin, bringing your head to the same level as hers. "I don't like looking up. It reminds me of my mother. She is very strict. Always: don't do this, don't do that. I mean, I couldn't even have friends growing up. Luckily, she sent me to live with my aunt, but after she got hurt and you guys started a war, she now wants me to return home."

You look directly into her eyes as she talks. They look magnificent. Now that you are close, you can see a battle going on inside her iris between different colours. It's as if tiny fires keep consuming a fuse up until the pupil before being restored to its original appearance. The whole thing gives the impression of being alive as the cycle repeats itself indefinitely.

You get so concentrated on her eyes that you eventually stop hearing her. In fact, you no longer hear anything around you. A few seconds later, you begin to lose the feeling of your body. You can no longer sense the ground or the air. Your arms stopped responding. In fact, do you even still have arms? The smell has gone at some point, but you don't remember when.

The darkness overwhelms you. It gobbles you up from all directions. The emptiness fills you with unimaginable terror. Is this ****? Is this what it feels like after ****? You feel your consciousness slowing down, the last proof of your existence.

Her red eyes are the only anchor to reality. Her eyes are all that keep you from drifting into the abyss.

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die!" you scream inside your head as you cling with everything that is left out of your consciousness to those red eyes, fighting the darkness with everything you got.

...

*thud*

Your body falls to the floor. Your eyes are closed tightly. Not a single vampire moves. Catherine smiles broadly as she looks at you.

The end?

I never imagined I could write so much when I started this. I hope you guys like the story so far. With Jenny and Max separated, I think I'll need to change some things (like the POV). I even prepared a surprise for season 3 :)

But before that, I want to take a break and try writing other stories. I don't know how this story will continue yet, but you can improve it by saying what you liked and didn't like on the forum.

Thank you for all the likes and comments. I hope we'll meet again :)
