Author��s Note: Thank you to EVERYONE who read/reviewed the first part: Beautiful Angel.
I was overwhelmed by the popularity of my story. I��ve decided to repay all of you by
writing the sequel :) Enjoy and let me know what you think of this one.
Amendment: Thanx to Lady Callie who told me that it��s Krit, not Krin.
Beautiful Angel part 2: Promises
Logan paled and his eyes widened. ""What do you mean?""
Max shut the door. ""I mean that I��m going to die."" Logan��s eyes filled with tears as
Max looked away.
""No. I��m not going to accept that.""
""Logan-""
""Max. I lost you once already... I��m not going to lose you again. I CAN��T lose you again.""
""She put something in me.""
""Who?""
""The woman that killed Tinga and tried to kill Lydecker. I don��t know what she did, but I
know she did something. I can feel it.""
""Then we��ll find an antidote."" Logan started to pace the small entrance/hallway. In all
the confusion, they hadn��t left the small area. ""You��ll be okay...""
""Logan...""
""I have contacts...""
""Logan!""
He turned to face Max and saw her slumped against the wall, trembling.
Logan��s eyes widened. ""God, Max."" Logan picked her up as her eyes shut. He carried her
into his bedroom and slid her under the blankets. He sat beside her and tried to calm her
down. ""Max! Come on, baby, don��t do this. Come on, fight it.""
Her eyes opened slightly and in a frightened whisper, she said his name.
""I��m right here.""
""Don��t leave me,"" she whispered.
""I��m staying right here, don��t worry. Everything��s going to be alright."" He placed a
soft kiss on her forehead and watched her fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After she fell asleep, Logan got up from his place on the bed and walked into the living
room. He picked up his journal and walked back into his bedroom. He pulled up a chair and
sat down. He opened his journal, picked up his pen, and started to write:
Promises
I would promise you the world,
if I knew I could deliver.
I would promise you a great life,
if I could stay with you forever.
I would promise you all the riches,
if only I knew that��s what you wish for.
I would promise you happiness,
if only you would walk through that door.
I would promise you the stars,
if only they would not be put to shame.
I would promise you the heavens,
if only I knew you��d feel no pain.
I would promise you the bad stuff would end, if only I could killed the birds.
I would promise you my love,
if only I could put it into words.
Logan shut the journal and went back to watching Max sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the dawn broke, Logan jerked awake. He didn��t even remember falling asleep. He
looked over at the bed and jumped up when he didn��t see Max laying there.
""Max!? Max, where are you?"" No answer. ""Max!"" He looked around his apartment franticly.
""Where could she be?"" he asked no one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
""X-5452. Good to see you back.""
""Thank you, ma��am. What are my orders?""
""Bring me the other X-5s.""
Max bowed her head and walked out of Madam X��s office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
""Thanks for getting here so quick,"" Logan said to Krit and Syl, also sitting at the table.
Syl smiled a bit. ""Our sis is alive and in trouble. How could we say no?""
""Do you have any idea where Max could be?"" Krit asked.
""No. She just got up and left. I don��t how long she��s been gone, either. There��s always
the chance she just went for a ride.""
""I don��t think so,"" Syl said. ""This doesn��t feel right.""
""That woman did something to her. She wasn��t exactly sure what, but she said that it made
her feel weird.""
The window next to the threesome shattered as a body jumped through it and landed perfectly
on it��s feet.
""Max,"" Logan said. Everyone stood up.
She leaped up and knocked down Krit, whom was caught off guard.
""Max! What are you doing?!"" shouted Syl.
Krit and Max engaged in a fight with which Max had the upper-hand. Syl and Logan ran over
and pulled Max off of her brother.
Krit got up and punched Max across the face. She slumped forward and Logan caught her.
""What the Hell��s going on?"" Logan asked as he laid Max on the couch. He ran a hand along
her cheek. He pushed back a few strains of hair and his finger brushed past something. He
moved her hair away as best he could and froze when he saw the small, healing hole right
above her ear.
TBC.... hehehe.......
~ So, did you like it? I hope so. Please R&R! I hope this second part was as good as you
all hoped for. The poems both ""Promises"" and ""Beautiful Angel"" belong to me. I made
them up for this story. Thanx for reading and let me know if I should continue :) hehehehehehe
~ The hole in her head is really, really small. If you watch X-Files, it��s like the hole
Mulder had in his head in the ep ""Demons"" from Season 5.
