Chapter One: Nowhere Fast
I forced myself to take a deep breath, to rid my mind of all the worries in the world, and just be happy and content with my flock. As long as I had them by my side, what more did I need? We had just left Mom, Ella, and Jeb back in Arizona, and were currently flying across the boarder os Arizona and Texas. Below on the ground, the air was warm and slightly humid, but up here, five hundred feet above the ground, it was breezy (duh), and absolutely amazing. I missed my mom and sister already. I still wasn't too sure about Jeb. Was he trustworthy, or wasn't he? You know what? I think he just likes screwing with my mind. That would be the most logical answer to me, anyway. People tend to do that a lot to me.
It was beginning to get dark when Fang flew up beside me, our wing tips lightly brushing against one another. I turned my head to look at him, and a smile came to my face. I was overjoyed that the flock was all together now. Fang and I were together again, just as we should be.
"We should probably find a place to crash in a bit. The kids are looking kinda worn out." Fang said to me, and I looked over at the younger kids. Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel all looked pretty sleepy, and when Nudge saw me look at them, she piped up and said, "Maaaxxx, I'm hungry!" Then, there were choruses from Gazzy and Angel, complaining of their hunger as well. Iggy, stayed quiet, only smiling a bit, hearing the kids chatter excitedly about where they would like to eat. The kids were going on about McDonalds and, I have to admit, they were even making me hungry. Not fair.
We found a hotel nearby a large cornfeild where we landed called The Nightrise Inn. Catchy, huh? After getting Angel to use her mind control on the receptionist--yes, I know it was wrong, but we didn't have much money, and we needed that for food--we got three rooms, and the keys from the woman with a cheery, yet dazed, "Have a wonderful evening."
Yeah, right, lady.
"Angel and I want to share a room!" Nudge exclaimed as we clambered into the elevator. "Oohh, I wanna press the button!" She shrieked and reached out before I could even say a word, and soon we were rising up towards the third floor.
"Alright, Nudge, you guys can share. And--"
"Iggy and I call dibs on the other room!" Gazzy said with a grin, and high-fived Iggy.
That only left one room, and me and Fang. God, why the hell did they have to do this to us?
I clenched my jaw and gave a curt nod. "Okay."
As the elevator came to a stop at the third flood, we all flooded out into the hallway. Iggy, Gazzy and Nudge and Angel's rooms were right next to each others, and my and Fang's room--Oh dear God--was right across from theirs.
"Okay, now, I want you guys to take showers, and then meet in our room so we can eat. Fang will go get something after he showers." I told them, handing Nudge a key, and Iggy the other since they were the oldest ones with the kids.
"And if I hear one single explosion..." I warned the boys, but they only gave me an innocent look, and soon they both disappeared into their room, and Nudge and Angel into theirs.
Fang cleared his throat and took the key from my hand. I let him grab it and he unlocked the door, walking inside with me behind him.
The room was nothing fancy, just a desser, TV, a comfortable looking chair with a large footstool, one full-sized bed, a bathroom and...HOLD IT! One full-sized bed.
Oh Jesus Christ! Not this! No way!
Fang saw my expression as I stared at the bed, and said to me as he closed the door, "I'm not going to bite you in the middle of the night, you know." He said with a smirk. I punched his arm, which he rubbed, wincing slightly, and scowled wordlessly.
I set my backpack down in the corner, and Fang did the same. "Go shower." I told him. "I'll make a list of what you need to get to eat."
Fang shrugged his shoulders (would it kill him to speak?!) and went into the bathroom. After a moment, I could hear the water running.
I sighed slightly as I went over to a small table beside the bed and found a notepad and pen. I then wrote down everything we needed to eat, plus a couple milkshakes. If you were going to eat McDonalds, you had to do it right.
As I was finishing, Fang came out of the bathroom...with only a towel wrapped around his waist, water glistening on his bare, muscular chest and six-pack, his dark hair messy and soaking wet. He looked like...as corny as this sounds, a model. A perfect, tall, dark handsome model.
Fang stood there, looking at me with an eyebrow raised, and I suddenly realized that my mouth was hanging open slightly, and I was staring.
It felt as if my cheeks were on fire as I turned quickly around. "Um...I...I made this list. Um, take my credit card..." I mumbled as I tossed them onto the bed. "I'm going to take a shower now..." I turned, without looking at him, and almost ran into the bathroom.
I stood there in the middle of the steamy bathroom for a moment, my heart thudding. God...what the hell was going on with me?
You like him.
God, you're my Dad! This isn't something I want to discuss with you! Get out of my head!
Don't deny it. As you said, I am in your thoughts, Max. I know your deepest, darkest secrets. Something that you think about as freely as this, is not hard to pick up on.
I do not think about it freely! Just...go away. I don't know what the hell to do right now.
Just go with the flow. And take a shower. I'm sure you stink from all that pollution in the air.
I swear, I could almost hear the Voice...or Jeb or whatever, laughing.
Right before I started the water for my shower, I heard the door to the hotel room click shut and I sighed in relief. Well, the award for most embarrassing moment goes to...Maximum Ride. Hurray. Not.
