I do not own anything from Maximum Ride. The story and it's characters belongs to James Patterson, I only own Rain, and Celia. Done Deal.
My eyes fluttered open, from about a hour of sleep. I sat up, and ran my hands through my midnight hair. Gosh, sometimes, it really bugged me to have insomnia, I was the only one up, and my paranoia about those gosh darn Erasers was really bugging me, with the dead silence, and all. I moved the blanket from over me, and got up. I walked over to the window, and gazed out. Gee, it had to be around 3 in the morning, to early to make breakfast, to late to try and sleep, not that I would get any. That's insomnia for ya. At the School, I guess it came in handy, for making sure I wasn't hooked up to some crazy machine, but now, that I was out, it just made time pass slowly. My silver eyes, scanned the mountain side for Erasers. It was a habit now. None to be seen. Good, I liked it that way. Now, I sure your going, what?? Erasers?? No, I'm not talkin pink things that remove pencil marks. I'm talkin half wolf, half human, bloodthirsty killers. After my flock, and me. Not fun. I sighed, and walked through the house, and into the kitchen. Hunger, gnawed at me. I looked through the fridge for a 3 in the morning snack. I found nothing, not for snacking, anyway. I walked into the living room, and sat on the old sofa. Shessh, what was I gonna do for the next couple of hours, huh?? Like I said, sometimes, insomnia really sucked. I heard something rustle. I jumped up. I was tense, until I saw Celia, standing there rubbing sleep from her cute little eyes. I just wanted to hug her!! She's so cute!!
"Celia, Sweetness, what are you doing up, huh??" I asked softly, going over, and kneeling in front of her.
"I heard you up, and," She yawned sweetly,"Wanted to keep you company..." Oh!! Ain't she cute!!?
"Oh!! Sweetie, your just adorable!!" I said, and threw my arms around her 6 year old frame.
"Thank you Mommy." She smiled sleepily. Yes, she said, Mommy. Long story. Okay, REALLY long story. More on that later.
"You really don't have to keep me company, Sweetness," I said, "Mom's used to it."
"I know, but..." She replied.
"Get some sleep, go on now. Mommy, doesn't need the same amount of sleep you." I said.
"Okay..." She answered, and walked off, long black hair swaying gently behind her. I had given up my only chance for company, but that was okay, I'm the only insomniac around here, no one else needs to loose sleep because of me. Well, I laid down on the sofa, closing my dark ringed eyed. I knew there was no sleep coming my way. I nearly slapped myself, why not get on the computer, our source of information. Okay, it was really my play-thing, but whatever. Electronics are my thing. They fascinate me. I have an unnatural knowledge of it. Sometimes I scare myself with how I know things. I got up, and stalked over to our computer, and turned it on. Life would be so boring without this thing!! Okay, maybe boring was a stretch, I mean I have wings for goodness sake!! Oops, did I neglect to mention that?? My flock and I, well, we have wings. At the School, we were given wings, I'll leave it at that. Gosh, I love the Internet!! There's always something going on, no matter how late it is. I went on a couple sites, watched some Naruto (A/N: not mine!!) episodes, and before I knew it, it was seven, and everyone was emerging from their rooms.
"Yellow!!" I smiled. My way of greeting people, don't ask. I turned off the computer, and got up, "Morning Everyone!!" I said cheerfully. Being up most of the time, would normally make someone bitter, oh, but not me.
"Bite me..." Iggy mumbled, sitting on the old sofa.
"Oh, Icarus, Sweetie, you don't mean that!!" I smiled, though I knew he couldn't see it, he's blind. I walked over, and sat beside him, and gave him a great big hug. I'm just huggy that way. Oh, and I call everyone Sweetie, and only very special people, I call Sweetness. Don't ask. He tensed, he'd not a huggy person like me. Oh, and everyone calls him Iggy, but I love his full name!! It's awesome, but he doesn't think so, "Sorry, Icarus, I guess, you don't want my hugs!! I'll just hug Fang then!!" I pouted, and jumped up, and ran over to Fang, who had been talking Max.
"Hi Fang!! Good Morning!!" I grinned, and hugged him, he stiffen up, like a stone, and I let go, "Shessh!! What's with you people, and not liking hugs!! Gosh, I'll hug Gassy, he's cute, and likes hugs!!" I huffed. Fang rolled his eyes, and I went over to Gasman. I hugged him, exclaiming, "Yo Gassy!! Good morin!!" He hugged back sleepily, "Finally, someone likes my hugs!! Thank you, Sweetie!!"
"No problem..." He yawned. Ah, he's a good kid. I ruffled his blond hair, and grinned. I walked to the counter, where Icarus had started making breakfast.
"Need help, Icarus, Dear??" I asked, brushing hair out of my face.
"No, don't call me Dear." He replied.
"Why?? I call everyone Dear, Honey, Sweetie, and stuff like that, you should be used to it." I said. He huffed, and continued. I walked up to Celia's bed, she was sharing a room with Nudge, and Angel. I moved away her blanket. And there lay her tiny sleeping figure. I nearly screamed, and hugged her. Instead, I gently shook her, and whispered sweet wake ups to her. Her innocent, blue eyes fluttered open, and she rubbed her eyes, cutely.
"Momma??" She asked.
"Yep, time to get up." I said genitally. I smiled, and picked up her up. Yeah, I baby her, but it's out of love. Max had just walked in, she was going to wake up Nudge, and Angel. I walked into the living room, and sat down with Celia, and let her down on the sofa.
"Come on, you really have to wake up this time, Sweetness." I said softly.
"Okay, Momma..." She smiled, and yawned a tiny bit. Aw!! I threw my arms around her, and hugged her, "Member!! Momma loves ya!!"
"Okay Momma."
"Oh gee, why can't anyone else appreciate me like you do, huh??" I grinned, and tapped her nose, laughing some.
"Love you!!" She hugged me tightly.
"I'm going to throw up, if you don't mind." Fang said, rolling his eyes, I guess he was done setting the table.
"Can't a mom love her child??" I asked, as if it were the easiest thing in the world, which to me it was. He didn't answer, lose of words, I guess. I doubt that highly. Anyway, we all sat down around the table, where Icarus had fixed some scrambled eggs.
"I want to pick strawberries today," Angel said, eating her eggs, "They're ripe now."
"I'll go with you, Angel," Max said.
"Coolness, I wanna come." I chimed in.
"Then, I want to come to..." Celia meekly, answered, nibbling on the last of her eggs. Just then, Gassy lived up to his name.
"Gassy..." Max warned.
"I done..." Fang said, putting his plate into the sink.
"I think fresh air, would do use all some good," Nudge said, "I'll go too." We all left, and we were walking through the crisp, thick forest. Celia was grasping my hand with her cute little hand.
"If you pick some strawberries," Max started, "I can make strawberry shortcake."
"Oh yeah, that'll be the day!!" Icarus joked, "When you making a cake!! I'll make it."
"Oh thanks!! I may not be the best cook, but I can still kick your butt, don't get it twisted!!" Max exclaimed. I laughed some, I was so used to them fighting, it was like breathing. But never got old. Next thing I knew, Angel and Celia were screaming like anything else. I looked up, and saw our worst fear, Erasers...
Gosh, I hope you liked it. I know it's not that good, but this is the first book fanfic I've done. Be gentle, please. Um... Oh yeahs, reviews would be loved.
