The Fallen (5SOS Fanfic) Completed

Chapter 3

**FlashBack**

I fly up the side of the cliff, looking forward to seeing my brother for the first time in about two months. My wings beat up and down, my muscles burning. I reach the top of the cliff and land on the edge.
'Mikey!' I shout, he turns around, a smile breaking across his face.
'Ner! How are you? it's been way to long.'
'I'm great now I've seen you.' I say, returning his smile and attacking him with a hug.
'So' I say, 'let's see them.'
'See what?' he asks
'Don't be an idiot' I laugh
'Your wings stupid, you're a hundred years old, you've got your wings now.'
'Errm, actually I haven-'
'Of course you have' I say laughing at him.
I walk towards him, herding him towards the edge of the cliff, which led to a steep drop to the sea.
'Go on' I say 'Jump off, show me what you can do.'
'Nero!' he shouts looking scared. 'I haven't gotten my wings yet, if you push me off this cliff I'll fall to my death!'
'Don't be silly Mikey, I know you've got them.' And with that I push him off the edge.
Time seems to stand still. In that moment, I realise what a terrible mistake I've made. I lunge forward, trying to grab him. But it's no use. I can only watch with my hand still outstretched as my baby brother, the only thing important to me in this life falls. Down. Down. Down. Into the rough sea and onto the deadly rocks below.....
**End of Flashback**

'Michael?' I ask staring at him as I try not to think anymore of that terrible, terrible day. 'Is, is it really you?'
'Yeah it is.' he says. We look at each other. I burst into tears, raking sobs wrenching through my body.
'I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry! I-I thought you had them, I really did, I swear. I thought you were just playing a trick on me, if I'd known I never would've- I never would've -' I can't finish, the guilt pressing down on me is to great.
'You never would've pushed me off that cliff.' Michael finishes for me.
'Yes!' I carry on sobbing into my hands.

'Wait, what?' Luke says, looking from me to Michael.
'She-you-cliff-pushed off-what?'
'Luke, Cal, errm this is Nero, my older sister.'
'Your older sister murdered you!?' Calum asked.
I glare at him, my eyes pools of darkness and black flames flickering around me. He backs away, clearly very scared.
'I would never EVER murder my little brother, I wanted to die after it happened. But unfortunately, being immortal I don't have that privilege and I've had to live with the guilt for the past four millennia!'
I turn to Michael, but before I can say anything, he does.
'Nero, I never blamed you for what happened, I know you wouldn't purposely do something like that. Anyway, if I hadn't fallen and come back as a ghost I would never've met the boys and 5SOS wouldn't exist.' I step forward and hug him tightly. Feeling, for the first time in years, glad that I'm not mortal, because if I was, I wouldn't be able to touch him.
'Speaking of 'the boys'' I say, looking up at him, 'where's Ashton?'
'Oh crap!' Michael says, 'I forgot all about Ash, he really isn't going to be happy your here!'
'Why not' I ask, seriously confused.
'Errm well the thing is Nero' Luke says, speaking for the first time in ages, 'Ashton's an angel to, except he's not one of the Fallen, he's one of the-' He breaks off as someone enters the room, it's Ashton. We stare at each other, both of us clenching and un-clenching our fists. My heart screams 'Mate!', but my mind and instincts overwhelm that feeling as they tell me to attack, as they tell me 'High!'
