Set after first two Maximum Ride books and all four Twilight saga
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Max POV
Whoever thought giving mutant wolves flamethrowers was a good idea must have been a highly sadistic person. The Erasers did not need the ability to burn us to cinders I decided. We had enough pyromaniacs of our own.
"check in" I called anxiously after I had dispatched the last Eraser.
"Angel, a Ok" calls out the smallest of my flock.
"Nudge, minor burns only " chimes in the other girl
"The Gasman reporting for duty" calls Gazzy
"I can't see anything" Iggy calls. I roll my eyes. I am about to give the order to U and A when the usually silent Fang calls out
"I think I can see a bone sticking out of my leg"
Fang's fibula was indeed sticking out. His wings were badly burnt and had several gaping claw marks were an eraser had scratched them. The less said about the state of his leg the better. Blood had soaked the grass where he lay. Quickly pulling off my coat I folded it into a pad and tried to stem the bleeding. This wasn't something we could fix on our own.
"Iggy hold that on and try to stop the blood" I said
"Nudge keep him talking don't let him lose consciousness."
"Gazzy, try and persuade Total to come out of the backpack"
It was decided that Angel and I would go in search of help. Our group was stationed in a small clearing in the forest. Spreading our wings, we shoot over the forest keeping low, our feet almost brushing the trees. When we reach a road we follow it as it snakes through the forest. At the side of the road a morose looking sign proclaimed the town to be called Forks. What's the plan? Angel thought to me We go to the first house we see and demand to use their phone. Hospitals are a risk but it's not like we have any other option. I sent back. A few minutes later we come across a huge white house. We touch down at the bottom of the drive and sprint to the door on foot. Breathlessly we ring the doorbell and wait.
Edward POV
I jump when I hear the doorbell ring. No one comes to our house. "sorry love" I murmur to Bella "I should probably get that"
Standing on the porch are two dishevelled looking kids. The older one looks about 14 the younger around 6 years old. Both had a multitude of scrapes and burns. Then it struck me. These children weren't normal. Their blood smelt off and I couldn't hear their thoughts.
"We need to use your phone" stated the older child "it's an emergency"
But then things got even stranger.
"What kind of mutant are you" asked the tiny child "I can tell you're a mind reader like me." She turned "its ok Max he's not from the School though"
"What's going on" I growled "what are you?"
"That's not important" said the older girl, "our friend is hurt, we need to call an ambulance"
"If you go to a normal hospital they'll realise something's different about you" I said. Even from here I could hear their heartbeats, much too fast for any human.
"We haven't much choice" said the girl, "our friend is hurt pretty bad" considering the state of these kids I assumed that whoever their friend was he was in bad shape. If burns like those were minor I didn't want to see major.
"Look, my father is the doctor in this town" I informed them "if you want to avoid the hospital we can help. We don't really want supernatural activity being reported near here" the older girl seemed to consider my offer.
"Yes, thank you." She said grudgingly , both kids seemed to have a hard time trusting people.
"Who's responsible for you anyway" I quizzed, surly there must be some adult. "I am" said the older girl, "I'm all there is".
