Hey this is my first maximum ride story so review if you decide to read it please.
I do not own the Maximum Ride characters…or anything really pertaining to the books themselves. But it would be totally awesome if I did!
I know where I am, I'm at home, my second home in 14 years and I only felt at home for less than half of that. But there's one thing missing, my flock. I hear a slight beeping that seems to be growing like a car coming down the street would sound or a jet flying overhead, I almost sounded like…crap…it's a bomb, the only thing going through my mind is Crap! Where's the flock! Then all I hear is people almost cooing, "Goodbye Max." Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Iggy, and Fang, my family, the ones who were always there for me, they all were standing in a straight line, tallest to shortest, outside the big picture window. I run towards the window and slammed my fists against the glass. "Guys! Help me! There's a bomb in here!" Their impassive faces turned into evil grins. I yelled at them again, "Guys quick it's about to go off!" I hear the constant beeping grow louder and louder all the while getting faster and more annoying. I hear Angel, my little angel, say inside my head, No one can help you Max and no one will.
No…no, no, no, no! They did not just betray me! But they did and I knew it. What I didn't know was what for…I was a great friend, a wonderful leader, and almost like a mom to the younger ones and I'm not just being full of myself. That's what theysaid about me! Why would they do this? Go Max! There's no time to ask yourself why! My voice nearly blew out my eardrums if that's possible for a voice that's in my head. I ran for the closest door, the front one of course, and yanked on the knob with no success…beep, beep, beep, beep…growing louder, faster and more annoying than ever. I start to loose my control, not that I already lost some of it, "Guys Please! Don't let me go out like this!"
Fang was the one who answered my pleading, "Max, your expiration date has come, but don't worry. I'll take good care of the flock." He smiled and then, like there was a glitch in a game, his face turned into an Eraser's and back to the fang face in less than a second. This had to be a trick my family wouldn't do this to me! Then the voice chimed in with its inexplainable tone Max, you can get out of this! You are Maximum Ride! The oldest, strongest, and most successful Recombinant DNA lifeform out there! No get out of this mess!
How? I asked giving up, I know totally un-max-like, I have no plan or fight left in me. The bomb was moments away from exploding, taking me and our beautiful home with it. I decided what I was going to do its time to give in to the whitecoats, even if they're supposed to be gone.
Max no! Don't do it! My voice argued.
I've had my fun, now it's over. Beep, beep, beep…I sat down in the middle of the room on the floor Indian style and faced my flock…my family. Goodbye Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Iggy, and Fang. I loved you. I barely managed to say this before…BOOM!
I woke up in a cold sweat, tangled in the thin sheets clinging to my more or less damp body. I've had that dream every night since we moved into our first ever home with adults we trusted. It's been almost four years from that first dreadful night. Everyone heard my screams and came running in: the flock, Jeb, Dr. Martinez, and Ella. They, like myself, have learned to deal with my moans and groans. At least they've gone from gut wrenching, blood curdling, Flyboys and Erasers are attacking me! screams. To just tossing and turning with a few inaudible mumbles and murmers.
I started to lay back down to rest my burning eyes when No need Max. It's 6:25 the bus will be here at 7:30. You have a little more than an hour to get ready.
Screw you voice. Let me sleep. I mumbled in my head.
Watch your language; remember what you promised yourself. Besides, it takes you nearly 45 minutes to get ready and pack your bag plus you need extra time to eat and you always like to get the younger ones ready.
"Ugh! Leave me alone!" I realized that I had said this out loud and put the pillow over my face.
Besides you know if you go back to sleep, you'll just have the same dream again. The voice reasoned in a smart-allecky kind of way.
"Fine I'll get up…." I groaned as I swung my legs over the bed and nearly fell off the edge of my bed as I saw Iggy and Fang standing in my doorway with angry, pet tired looks. Iggy spoke in a slurred way; "Will you ever shut up when some people are at least trying to sleep until the last possile moment?"
"Sorry, now get out before I kick you but from here to next month." I answered icily.
"Whoo hoo! Look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!" Fang accused me with his sarcastic-but-still-insulting tone.
I blinked the sting away from my eyes and shook my head to wake me up a little more, "Look who woke up on the right side."
"Aah come on Max, it was just a joke!" He said as he held up his hands the way that convicts did when the police are telling them to freeze.
"Oh, yea? Well it was so funny…" I said in a perky girly voice then dropped my voice to my normal sarcastic-but-slightly-rude tone, "I forgot to laugh." I stood up and realized I did this too fast and wobbled a little bit before I shooed everyone out of my room.
Oh, did I forget to mention? We're going to school now. I know shocking right? Us mutant freaks going to a normal high school…and it was my, Fang, and Iggy's senior years. This should be fun.
So there you have it! I know I'm a genius! Not to sound bigheaded or anything…anyway I'm looking for suggestions for what their school days are like so please review. Remember the faster and more reviews I get…the more story to come. He he Biz!
