A/N- Hey how's it going. OK, so this is basically me being stir crazy about waiting for Nevermore to come out. I made a list of things that I think/want to happen in the story, but I'm still not satisfied. So, I decided to take some of my ideas and turn them into stories. By the way Nevermore comes out August 6, 2012.
Disclaimer- I do not own Maximum Ride. If I did I would know how Nevermore ends already and wouldn't have to guess.
Idea #1- Ella is blackmailed/mind controlled into attacking the Flock
Idea #2- Dr. M is the voice
Idea #3- Iggy snaps Ella out of her mind control
Setting: Max, Iggy, Nudge and the Gasman have just rescued Angel from wherever she was being held. They begin to get lost. Fang's Gang is trying to find Dylan and confront him because he is evil.
Max POV
We are so dead. You would think that one of us would have seen that pressure plate under Angel's crate. Well we didn't and the floor opened up sending us God knows where.
"I hear something up ahead." Iggy said.
"What is it?"
"I think it's an automatic door."
I look ahead and see that it is a door that is opening and closing rapidly. If only Star was with us she could zip right through.
"How are we going to get through, Max?" asked Gazzy.
"I don't know yet."
"Oh, I know we could jam something in between the door, or we could blow it up, or mph." You can guess who said that. Thank goodness for Iggy's hand.
"Well I'm always up for blowing something up but, I used the last bomb I had blowing open the door to Angel's room." Iggy said.
"And we don't have anything big enough to wedge in the door. Wait a second see that button it says Door Override. Too bad it's on the inside of the door." Gazzy said dejected.
I just stood there stumped. If only we had something to throw at that button like a brick or a knife. Then I remembered that Iggy had a Swiss Army knife that he stole from Jeb the last time we saw him.
"Iggy, give me the knife in your pocket."
"Why?"
"I'm going to try to throw it at the button."
"Fine, but I better get it back."
Iggy dug in his pocket and found it with ease. That boy never ceases to amaze me. He handed it to Gazzy who gave it to me. I only had one shot. I opened up the knife and got ready to throw. Right when I was about to let go Angel finally woke up but, it startled me enough to mess up my throw. The knife was going to miss the button. At the last second though Nudge use her magnet-like powers to guide it back on course. The knife barely made it through the door and hit the button.
"Nice save Nudge." I said
"Well I noticed that Angel woke up and it made you throw the knife the wrong way, and it was going to miss, and I was worried about how we were going to get out and then I remembered-"
This time Gazzy stopped her.
We all rushed through the door and around the corner. Inside the room was completely white. Someone was standing in the middle of the room with their back turned. It was a girl with wings just like us.
"It's Ella." whispered Angel.
That was enough for Iggy. He ran up towards her his arms ready to give her a hug. Angel yelled "No!" but it was too late. Just before he reached her, Ella pulled out a Taser and used it on Iggy. Then, before Iggy had even hit the floor Ella lunged at me. She jumped on me and pinned me to the floor.
"Why are you fighting us?" I asked trying to struggle out of her hold.
"They said if I didn't they were going to kill our mom."
She obviously didn't get the news that mom was the Voice in my head.
"Ella, mom is safe. She is holed up in an underground bunker in Colorado. That's why she left. She has to go there when she wants to be the Voice in my head."
Ella's face softened. "So, that's where she's been going all these months.
"Yep. Now if you please, can you get off me.
She was about to do so when her eyes went black.
Iggy POV
I woke up confused. How was I able to see? Then I remembered that the room was completely white. I "saw" two figures standing next to me and two more on the ground fighting.
"What's going on?" I asked no one in particular.
"After Ella Tased you she started fighting with Max. I couldn't help because I had to protect Angel." Gazzy explained.
"What's going on now?"
"Max is explaining how Dr. M is the Voice in her head and it seems to be working.
Just then Angel had the most scared tone of voice I had ever heard when she said' "Oh no."
"What? What's going on?" I asked
"Ella is being mind controlled by something and is starting to choke Max." Angel yelled.
I had to act fast. That's it.
"Angel, can you link my mind with Ella's? I think I can snap her out of it."
"I'll try." She said.
Ella can you hear me?
Nothing. Maybe she can't talk back.
Your right, she can't talk back, but she can hear you.
Thanks.
Ella, stop this isn't you. Snap out of it. The girl I love wouldn't stop fighting to save her family or friends. Please stop. I need you to be okay. You're the only person who makes me feel normal.
And with that she stopped choking Max and fainted.
Ella POV
When I woke up I was in the middle of the desert. I was sitting in Iggy's lap next to a campfire.
"What happened? Are we safe?" I asked
"Yes were safe. After you collapsed Fang and his friends found us. Max and Fang told everyone to get out while they fought with Dylan."
"Did they win?"
"Of course they're Max and Fang. They always win."
"Did you mean what you said to me when I was being controlled, or was that just to get me to snap out of it."
"I meant every word. You are the only girl for me and I would have been devastated if I had lost you forever."
And with that he placed a soft kiss on my lips making me feel optimistic for the future.
A/N- Be nice this is my first story. Updates will be spotty at best because I usually have other things to do, but I won't forget that I do have a story.
