Max felt the life flowing out of him like blood.

"MAX!" Neil, David and Nikki yelled and ran to the boy.

It was disappointing for Max. He had dreamed of death his whole life and now that he was about to slip away, he wanted to live.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw Nikki and Neil crying with David calling 911.

But he also saw Daniel.

He used the last of his strength to throw his knife at Daniel, hitting him right in the forehead.

Max flopped back and let out one last breath.

"Max!" Nikki yelled.

"no..." Is all Neil could say.

David was crying uncontrollably.

Max was lost.

****time skip****

Max jolted up.

He was surprised he was alive.

"MAX!" David yelled and hugged him.

"How did I live?" Max asked weakly.

"Daniel just missed your heart. Almost hit your lung and only barely cracked bone." David explained.

"What were you doing here?" Max asked.

David rubbed the back of his neck and blushed a little.

"I said I wax your dad..." He said quietly.

"Who says your not?" Max smiled as he spoke.

David froze then squealed with excitement.

"Oh! Almost forgot!" David said.

He pushed a button and whispered into it.

"The hell you doing?" Max asked, a little annoyed.
