Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride.
Summary: It is six months after Max and the flock defeated all of the Schools, Itex and Institutes. They are together and safe... or at least for now. Romance, Action, and Friendship. Could Max's life ever be normal?
I woke with a start. I couldn't believe I had another nightmare. The same one since that night we defeated everything that has hurt us. In the nightmare I didn't know what was happening, well I did. But it is impossible. It can't be. It can't be happening. Not again.
Anything is possible, Max. The voice. I didn't hear anything from the voice since the night we defeated everything that almost destroyed us.
And then, I couldn't help it. I screamed.
The flock was all gathered in the room in less then a minute.
Angel was first to talk, "What happened is everything okay Max?"
"What happened? I was asleep dreaming and all of a sudden I heard a scream. I was surprised but then I got up and realized that it was you. You know, cause Angel was already out of her room so I knew it wasn't her. And since Gazzy, Iggy and Fang don't scream like a girl… Well Gazzy does but that's besides the point cause I saw him too and th-" Nudge was cut off by Gazzy, "I DO NOT SCREAM LIKE A GIRL!"
And before Iggy or Fang could start talking I decided to get some words in. "I'm fine guys, don't worry! Just a weird dream. New places get to me sometimes." I could tell that Fang didn't believe it. But everyone else seemed to. I quickly glanced at the clock; 11:00 p.m. "Its late guys go back to bed" Everyone listened to me except of course, Fang.
Once everyone left Fang decided he would speak up. "Max, I know you're not okay. I can practically see and feel the fright on you. So tell me."
I knew I couldn't get anything past Fang. I never could and never will be. Since we defeated everything it has been calm. We have been talking a lot. I can't explain anything. I don't know how it happened, but me and Fang, I could tell that their was something between us. Something that will always be there and something that will never be broken.
"I had that nightmare again. The one where we didn't actually defeat anything or anyone. They came back for us. Put us back in the cages that we hate. I see all of your faces frightened and then everything blacks out." Fang knew I was scared he always knew. He came over to my bed and put his arms around me. I decided to tell him the rest. "But that isn't why I screamed." He shut down his whole body, not moving, not blinking, and not even breathing. "The voice came back. I heard it. It said, "Anything is possible, Max".
I couldn't say anymore. I didn't have to. Fang and I just sat there in silence, he was still holding me. I loved him. I always had, I was just afraid to admit it to him. I still am.
While I was rambling in my own mind Fang decided to say something. It is almost like he knows when I am thinking about him because he always cuts in to my mind at that time. "Max, look it has been six months. I'm not saying that there is any way that they can't come back. But as of right now we are all safe and hidden. So let's relax for the amount of time we have together and we will get through any obstacles that come for us." I opened my mouth to respond but he apparently wasn't done. He put a finger up as if to say one minute. I waited. "Max, there is one more thing I have to tell you. It is very important and I want you to hear it out. I-" He was abruptly cut off by an explosion coming from the other side of the house. Then we heard screaming.
Sorry for cutting it so short and on a cliff hanger. Please Review! I will have chapter 2 out soon. Hopefully. I will be asking for ideas shortly for what you would like to see happen in the story. If you want to tell me one now though speak freely and I will try to put it in my story.
