I looked back as I watched my mom become smaller and smaller as me and my flock flew into the clouds. The salty tears stung my eyes and a painful ache constricted my chest. In the first fourteen years of my life, ive lived knowing I may never know my mother. And the minute we are united, were pulled apart.
im so sorry maximum…
A omniscient sob escaped my throat. I quickly wiped away my tears in fear that the flock might see.
Maximum ride, cry baby extraordinaire.
Angels soft hand enclosed around mine as we climbed to 11,000 feet.
My little baby…. her solemn blue eyes tore deep into my mine. I could feel angel peek through my head and read my thoughts and feelings. To emotional to complain I let my little mind reader into my head.
Go to Washington, maximum…escape there. Relax. They wont find you.
I felt the dangerous shard of ice melt from my heart and felt almost relief flow through me.
Washington…secluded, safe, we can stay a little while even if it is only a few days, it'll give me some time to figure out our next move.
Think about your flock maximum , they need to rest. I looked down at angel, her brilliant blue eyes, once so youthful were filled with sadness and solitude. Her hair hung limp and her clothes were in pieces. I chewed on my lip and thought of all the possibilities. What seemed like hours flew by until I opened my mouth with my final decision.
"Yo Guys, head up north west, were going to Washington"
Nudge let out a shriek.
"Oh My God, I was reading this newspaper once and it said that Seattle has the most amazing shopping. It said they have like all these expensive stores were the fashion is like grunge rocker chic-"
Fang let out a low growl and Iggy covered his ears.
"oh, sorry" angel let go of my hand and dropped down for nudge. Fang silently slipped by my side when angel left. He looked at me intently waiting for me to answer a question he didn't ask.
"So began Fang. Why Washington?" i gave Fang a weak smile, and watched as he nodded his head gravley.
"The voice?"
"Yeah...the voice"
