Chapter 1
3rd Person
Three strangers waked the woods. They were there for a reason.
(Flashback)
"Maximum Ride will be terminated." A voice sounded from one of the detention centers two of the three strangers were sent to.
"No, I will not do it." The girl, the younger of the two answered, speaking for both.
"You will, you will have no choice in the matter," the voice answered shortly, cutting off from the speakers which were in every corner of their room. The girl shuddered and the boy held her, kissed her forehead, he wasn't mute he was just afraid, afraid of being overheard or saying something wrong to the girl. Silence was golden, except with the girl who loved it when the boy talked.
(End Flashback)
Now the strangers were joined with a third, a child merely harmless, in people's eyes, defenseless. The child was anything but defenseless.
Max's POV
Wake up, my voice ordered me urgently.
Ah, Voice it's been awhile, don't you think?
Maximum, don't start people are near. Shit that made me tense; I looked around my sleeping flock. Nudge and Angel were to my left with Total sleeping silently at Angel's feet. To my left were Iggy and Gazzy. Fang even though I couldn't see I knew he was across from me with his back to me, he had last watch. Tell Fang, Alert him. The Voice ordered, oh you didn't know I had a voice in my head? Well surprise! Don't you have too? No? Okay, well I'm cool. Not, mine is a pain in the ass. It hardly ever answers any direct questions. Which is why we were sleeping here, in the woods, in the dark, and none of us knew where we were, I just had the voice guiding me and me leading the other five (and Total of course).
"Fang," I said in hardly a whisper, I had no idea where he was then all of a sudden there he was in front of me. Was he watching me?
"What?" He asked, looking directly into my eyes. There was no light, his features were darker than usual, and even though he was so close to me I couldn't see his eyes very well. His black hair was covering his eyes, it was getting long again. I kinda liked it. Stop it Max! I ordered myself. Ever since I told Fang I loved him, things have been kind of weird, he's kissed me a couple times, but he's never said it back. I think he just likes toying with my emotions, because when we were living with Anne- shudder- he kissed Red Head Wonder, and when he went to Antarctica he made goo goo eyes at Brigid Dwyer.
"The voice says someone's coming." I said calmly.
"Great," He muttered sarcastically, "Who do you want to wake up first?"
"Iggy and Angel," I said, he nodded. I leaned over and tapped on Angel's small hand twice, she woke up silently, like she'd been taught. In my peripheral vision I saw Fang had done the same with Iggy.
Angel, the voice says people are coming, so see if you can pick up anything. I thought; I could feel Angel probing around my head for answers.
I moved over silently so I was in Iggy's face, I saw Fang's expression harden. Whatever. "Ig, listen closely, do you hear anything, anybody?" I whispered to him emphasizing the word anybody. By the time either of them could answer me it was to late. The strangers where there at the base of our line, looking at us with interest. I felt adrenaline course through my veins as I braced for a fight. Nudge and Gazzy were woken up by Fang; they stood up, all the flock understanding my tense stance, braced for a fight as well.
Well I hope you like it, this is my first FanFic. Review Please! Anything just review, criticism is welcomed. :)
