Hello, and welcome to Misadventures in Parenting. Basically, Fang and Max have a daughter in an AU named Maria. This fanfic was started in 2011, before Maximum Ride Forever, so let's just say this is a really alternate universe.
I adopted this fanfic after Sparrowsong wrote the first chapter and disappeared. He or she hasn't appeared since 2011. The rest was by me (ShadowBobcat10). Hope you like it.
"Tee hee hee!" I heard.
I opened my eyes groggily.
"Whaa...?"
I looked at the clock. It was seven in the morning.
I hid my head under the covers and tried to go back to sleep. But whatever it was that giggled was shaking me.
"Get up!"
I looked up.
"Whatdoyouwant?"
It was Maria, my three-year-old. I only now remembered that she had crawled into bed with us last night after she had a nightmare.
"It's time to wake up, Daddy," she smiled.
Unlike me, she was a morning person.
"Don't do that!" scolded Max.
"Quit being so hard on her," I tried to reason.
I ruffled my daughter's wavy hair. Maria mostly took after me, in personality and appearance (only she had dark blonde hair like her mom), so unlike Max she was somewhat nice. She was quite a bit more hyper than me, though. But she was only three.
She seemed to think it was funny, and unfolded her black wings and flew away.
"Come get me! You can't catch me!" she called.
"Go back to bed," I shouted.
She just ignored me and flew off, laughing her head off.
When kids like Mar acted like that, they were just trying to get attention, right? So...was I supposed to ignore her or something?
I went downstairs and got breakfast. Then, suddenly I heard yelling outside.
"Ah! Mommy, Daddy! Help me!"
Next there was an ear-splitting scream.
I ran outside and saw the most horrific sight possible: an Eraser with Maria.
But...but how! Erasers were supposed to have gone extinct!
I unfolded my wings and attacked the Eraser. It dropped Mar, but then grabbed me. Just as I was about to lunge for my little girl, another Eraser caught her.
Great. Now they had me, I couldn't get Maria, and on top of all that they still had her. I really hated being the damsel in distress.
"Help!" wailed Maria.
Max and Angel came running out. They flew up and I managed to squirm free, but we couldn't get Maria in time.
Thanks to our enhanced vision, we had to watch them fly away with her. Too high up for our part-human lungs to stand - my little girl was probably about to suffocate.
"NO!" Max shrieked.
(A/N: Good?)
End of Sparrowsong's Writing
That wasn't so bad. Now time for the real magic.
