Hey!
This I just a oneshot song-fic that I wrote.
The song is 'breakaway' Kelly Clarkson
I needed to write a prologue to get a few things out… but they didn't really fit in with the song. So I've put them in chapter 1, and the story is in chapter two…
DISCLAIMER: don't own maximum ride or breakaway
PROLOGUE: BACK HOME
It had been five years since I'd seen them. I was 20 now. I still remember the last time I had seen them. They had all been pinned down on the ground by erasers who were holding knives to their wing.
How could I have said no to Ari? It was the only way to ensure their safety. He had made the same offer that he made at Anne's house. Only this time the lives of my flock were at stake.
So I went with him. I don't know where he took me because he had drugged me before flying off with me.
Tears formed in my eyes as I remembered the past five years. It took him five years to "expire". He said he only wanted to be my friend. Friends don't beat each other up. I will never forgive him for all that time away from my family. I will never forgive him for what he did to my wings.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door of our house in Colorado. It hadn't been burned down by the erasers after all.
A teenage boy opened the door warily. 'Yes? Can I Help You?'
He had blue eyes, blonde hair and a cowlick.
'Gazzy, it's me!'
He looked at my face again and a confused look washed over him, which was soon replaced by an ecstatic one.
'OH MY GOD! MAX! GUYS MAX IS BACK!' He ran to me and hugged me soon to be followed by nudge and angel. I looked up and saw Iggy and Fang standing in the doorway. I smiled at them and then remembering that Iggy couldn't see, I managed a 'Hey'. I was back home.
