A/N: I'm looking to find people that have similar interests like mine. I LOVE Harry Potter, as well as Maximum Ride. I mainly listen to Rock music like MCR or Paramore or Linkin Park. My favorite colors are red and black and purple. And I'm really weird!
Summary: Max is completely alone. The Flock is off with Max III and Max can't escape them. She's afraid that they'll get hurt by Max III. If only she could tell them, but they wont listen. Will she forgive them?
Chapter One
Max or Max III?
It couldn't have been worst. Just ten minutes ago the Flock had been taken by Max III. Well not really taken but they went with her. I was angry. But I felt upset at the same time. I couldn't fight the tears, I was weaker than ever. My head fell onto the cave wall as I fell and sat on the ground. I took a rock and threw it at the opposite wall and it cracked. It wasn't enough to get the anger out. I stood up and wiped the tears out of my eyes. I went over to the ledge and soar off into the night sky.
I breathed in and out but it didn't help. I landed in an alley. I turned the corner and found a diner. My stomach's been growling for the past 2 hours so I guess it was time to eat. I walked in only seeing a couple tables taken. Everybody looked at me. Oh right. I must have looked bad considering I've been beaten by five bird kids and one evil copy of myself.
I walked over to a table in a corner and sat there. A lady who wore an apron over her plaid shirt and jeans came over and asked if I was ready. She grabbed out a little notebook and a pen. "I'll have 3 hamburgers, 4 fries, a banana nut muffin, and a Coke for a drink." She franticly wrote the huge order down and smiled down on me. She was too kind to be an Eraser, I thought.
"Will that be it?" She looked at me as if I've never been fed before. Well I have but I was special to have an appetite that big. "Yes." I said. I was really tired to say thank you. "Ok. I'll be back with your drink." It was only a few minutes until she came out with a glass filled with Coke. "Thanks." I said. I sipped it and put my head back on the table. Usually the Flock would be around me, telling me crazy jokes and talking about God knows what. I wanted to cry but I couldn't. I was Maximum Ride and I was built strong. Not for crying.
About almost ten minutes later my order came up. Wow, this was a new record. Now there was only one elderly couple in the diner and they stared at me as I ate my hamburgers. It's rude to stare, I thought. I ate my muffin and set the money on the table leaving an extra five bucks. I left and flew out into the sky. I needed somewhere to crash. I looked down into the city of Denver and found a hotel. I walked in finding a lady in her mid 30's at the check in office. "Yes what can I do for you?" She said.
I couldn't tell if she was an Eraser so I just asked for a room. "185. 3rd floor." She handed me the key. I told her thanks and went to the elevator. When it opened I saw somebody I thought I would never see again. It was Sam. "Oh Max!" He said with a small smile. "Hi Sam. Why are you here in Colorado?" I asked. I was really happy he was here. "My dad's taking me on a vacation with him. He wanted to come here and see how much it snows. He's really into weather. It's supposed to snow tonight so we decided to crash here. You?" He explained. He was a little taller but nothing was different.
"Oh,ummm…" I tried to come up with an excuse. "Anne's letting us go on separate vacations to, you know, get out. I wanted to see Denver." I smiled. The elevator doors opened. "Well, that's my stop. I gotta go." I almost got off until Sam pulled me back and kissed me. On the lips. I told him bye and got off before the doors closed. Wow he was a great kisser. I walked down the hall. 183, 184, and 185. I stopped and pushed the key in. It opened and I went in. It had a beautiful view of the mountains outside. I plopped myself on the bed, which was comfy and laid down. I went over to the bag I carried which had my clothes in it. I changed into some shorts and a T-shirt. I went back over to the bed and pulled the blankets over me. It was cold.
….That morning was even colder. I woke up to someone shaking me. I sat straight up. It was Max III. What the-! How did she get in here? Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel were behind her. "Wake up, Max. It's time to die!" She said. I pulled the sheets off and lunged myself at her. Nudge was hitting me in the back. And Fang was trying to team up with Max III. How could he? Iggy was helping Nudge and now they were tieing me up. I fell to the ground tied up and frusterated.
Gazzy and Angel were crying. They actually believed me. Angel..I said in my mind. You have to tell them it's me! How would I know that you used mind-power to get Celeste in New York if I was the other Max? I'm the real Max! Trust me baby girl! I was fighting the pain of Fang and Max III tearing my face out. It brought tears to my eyes and now I crying. "Stop! She's really Max! Fang! Please stop!" Angel screamed. Tears were pouring down her face. Fang stopped and asked Angel how she knew.
"She called me her baby girl." Angel said. Max III stopped and the whole Flock knew that it was me. Nudge pushed Max III out of the window and she fell about 3000 feet into a freezing pool of ice. I definetly knew she was dead. Fang and Iggy untangled me from the ropes. As soon as I was let go I ran into the bathroom bursting into tears. "Max! We didn't mean to—" I slammed the door in his face and locked it. He banged on the door saying sorry. I was sitting on the toilet balling my eyes out. How could they? I wanted to kill Nudge, Fang, and Iggy. Mostly Fang. "Screw you!" I yelled back.
I held my stomach tighter. I finally ended up on my knees puking into the toilet. I hope Fang heard. I held my long hair back. Wow, I was a teenage girl. "Max please don't do this!" Iggy said. I flushed the toilet. His voice always calmed me down. "Only Angel can be next to me!" I said. I wiped my tears from my eyes and cleaned my mouth. I came out of the bathroom seeing Fang and Iggy sitting on the floor next to the bathroom door. "Don't.touch.me!" I said as Fang got up. I must have looked like crap. I sat next to Angel who stopped crying. I was shaking. I never felt like this, I never shaked. I held her in my arms as she cried again. "I think we should get a separate room. C'mon guys lets leave Max and Fang alone."Iggy said. Nudge carried Angel and they walked out. I didn't wanna talk. I felt sick, I wanted to puke again. "I'm sorry."
Fang sat on the couch across from the bed, which I was sitting on. "You should be, I---" I started. "Let me talk. It's not helping to yell when your sick." He said. He motioned me to sit by him. I did only because I was sick and I didn't know what I was doing. "We didn't know. We were confused and you looked to be the other Max." Fang said. "You couldn't ask Angel what she thought?!?" I yelled. I was about to get up but he grabbed my wrists. "Why didn't you tell us?" he asked. His eyes wondered at me but I looked away and back again. "B-because you wouldn't listen to me!" I cried. I fell into his arms and for once, it felt like coming back to life. Seeing the Flock around me, and hugging Fang. He stroked my hair.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. Everything seemed to go black. I must have fell asleep. But I felt Fang carrying me to bed. He kissed my forehead and left the room. Then I dozed off….
A/N: Haha! Now that I've told you the plot…how will Max react and what about this dream? What about Sam…?
He Hee Heeee!
