A/N:: Wrote this while my English teacher was giving some boring lecture. It's my reason of why Fang left, and what happens after.
Three notebook pages, but something tells me it'll be really short on here . . .
Not a oneshot ^^
R&R, please !! :D
"What the hell?" Max said.
You should be used to Max's no cursing rule by now. What she said really fit, though, and it was what we were all thinking.
"No!" The freaky doctor screamed out, "you need to be alive for it all to work!"
"Exactly," Dylan said, as he moved to press the fluid into his arm. Max ran over and knocked the needle out of his hand, though. She then grabbed his arm and glared at him.
Dylan looked up at her and pouted, "What was what for?!"
"No, what was all of that crap for?!' Max shouted, still glaring at him. Dylan stayed silent, then looked away, pissing her off even more. Bad move. "We're gonna talk," she said, practically dragging him out into the hallway.
I tried to get up and follow them, but I had forgotten that I was still bound down. Gazzy saw me struggling to get up, so he came over and unlatched the cuffs on my wrists. I nodded a "thanks" to him, then he turned and walked to Iggy.
I moved quickly toward the door. I mean, who knew what Mr "Perfect Other Half" was trying with Max right now?! I knew Max would beat him down if he dared anything, but that didn't help my gut feeling. I was stopped in my tracks, though, by a frail hand, shaking with fear. I looked down and saw the doctor on the gurney.
"What do you want?" I glowered down at him.
"To tell you exactly why you need to leave Maximum Ride."
My gut instinct was to punch him in the face and get the hell out of there, but something deep inside told me I should listen to him. I looked around to make sure the flock wasn't within earshot, and that Angel was busy, uh, I don't know, not reading my mind. If I was going to listen to this moron, it was going to stay private. Luckily, everyone appeared consumed in their own conversations. Nudge and Angel were talking about how Angel had betrayed us. Nudge seemed pretty mad, but I could see that look on her face... she wanted her best friend back. My eyes then darted over to Gazzy and Iggy. They were high fiving each other as Gazzy explained a lizard boy and its reactions to getting beaten up to Iggy.
I looked back down at him, "Go on..."
He took a deep breath, ready to start a long speech. How dramatic of him... "The needle we injected you with was not filled with the drug we let you believe it was. It was meant to help you make the choice to leave her. You see, your mind is too clouded with love to make the choice that's save her life, and then, ultimately, the world. The choice to leave her. So, the injection was meant to—"
"To kill me," I finished for him. Help you, exterminate you, murder you... they're all synonyms in crazy scientist talk.
"Yes. You saw how Maximum didn't care about all of her self proclaimed enemies around her when you were dead. If it weren't for the rest of your flock, they would have killed her, or taken her to experiment on. For some reason none of you want that, even though it'd help advance our science, so you must realise, Fang, that you are too much of a distraction. Fang, you will be the death of her."
"You don't know that for a fact," I stated simply, still glaring down at him.
"No, I do. Did Max or Angel tell you about Jeanne? They met her in Chad."
I nodded.
"Well, she sees the future... vaguely... prophecies, if you will. She saw that you would be the death of Maximum, Fang."
I actually believed him; it made perfect sense. That was the moment I decided I had to leave, and I had to do it soon.
I nodded solemnly, then punched him in the face. Hard. He may be right, but that didn't change the fact that I hated it. That asshole was out cold. Wimp.
Just then, the door opened, and in stepped Max, Dylan right behind her, his eye blackened. The tiniest flicker of a smile crossed my face, but Max caught it and grinned at me. God, I love her...
"Let's go," she said, walking right back out the door. The rest of us followed her, "trash everything you see along the way," she continued, turning around to face us.
My pleasure.
