So this is my first MR fic. I decided to write about Iggy's more sad/upset side, the one we don't get to see a lot.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride. Maximum Ride belongs to James Patterson, not me.
Nah nah, betcha can't catch me!
The phrase haunts me every day.
Nah nah, come and get me!
I remember how when I was little, when the Flock was somewhat happy and living with Jeb, we'd play tag. And I'd always be it. Angel and Gazzy, being young, would call out, "Nah nah, betcha can't get me!" And I'd try to tag everyone, but they'd always dodge without me knowing. No matter how hard I tried, I'd always be "it". Then the game would be over, I wouldn't tag anyone, and Max would pat me on the back and say, "Next time, I promise, Ig." And I'd believe her and be let down.
Can't catch me, Iggy!
The whitecoats. I'll always, always, feel like whenever I'm around them or we're talking about them, and that they're teasing me, taunting me, saying those very words. Because I know I can't make them feel sorry about what they've done or make them regret making me blind.
I want to make them realize what they've been doing wrong, so incredibly wrong, how they've ruined our lives…
Come get me, Iggy!
And although I can't see it, I know what damage they've done. They've given Max terrible headaches. They've made Gazzy have a messed up digestive system. They've tested us all and kept us in crates.
And they made me blind.
Nah nah, nah nah, you can't catch me!
I hate them so, so much. I want to do something about it but I can't. It's exactly like how I don't want to be blind, but I can't get my sight back anymore...
I can't catch them. They'll always manage to get away because of a mistake that they made.
So what do you think? Please review!
