No I don't own any character in this chapter. I don't own anything. Please review. Tell me if I am fit to write a fan fic!!!!
Well, here we are. All six of us: me, the leader, the head honcho (but I prefer to be called Max), Fang, my second-in-command, Iggy, our blind chef and great bud, Nudge, our spunky girl, with our only pair of siblings, Gasman and Angel. I know I seem to lack a description of our appearances, but believe me when I say that I am doing you a favor not telling you what we look like at this moment. We have just finished reuniting after our little (okay, not little. More like monumental) episode down at Itex in Germany. I'm sorry if fighting off evil robot Erasers is not an excuse to look like we jumped into a dumpster and took a shower in a pigsty.
In case you are wondering, Erasers are evil wolf guys trying to kill us avian hybrid guys. Call it their hobby.
Well, things have been kind of weird lately. I just found out that I have a mother, and that she was a really nice lady. My head has been played with plenty, let me tell you, but that didn't screw up my thoughts about Dr. Martinez and her daughter. I had a half sister, a mom, a dad, and I had a half brother, but he unfortunately died in our battle just hours ago.
Thinking about all this, I didn't notice that I was staring into space. Nudge, half annoyed, half worried, was kind enough to snap me out of it.
"Max, where are we going to go now? I mean, I think that you have finished your job. You saved the world, so can we go into hiding like we planned to? I really like the thought of having a bed to sleep in."
Murmurs of agreement followed this statement. I really didn't like the thought of people being able to know where we lived. I was so used to not belonging anywhere. I was about to share my little disagreement about this topic, when Fang came to my rescue.
"What if we had many homes? Like we could stay somewhere different every night, different towns or cities, I mean, but we would always have a specific place in each town to sleep in? I think that we can all agree to that at least? Right?" Fang caught the grateful glance I gave him as I began to make sure that our packs were well stocked. We needed to go house hunting tomorrow, and I think that in France, There was a long way before we found a deserted enough place, considering we were in Paris.
Gazzy and Iggy were getting really excited, and I could tell by the mischievous glint in their eyes that they had something up their sleeves.
"Maybe we could go live in the south. I think it's called Boredom or something like that. It's where they make wines. I mean, free wine? What could be better than getting all the rotten grape juice for free while normal people have to pay $100 for one bottle?!!" Gazzy and Iggy were smiling with excitement as they spoke.
"I think that it is called Bordeux, and I wouldn't like to see any of you guys drunk when a Twinkie can make you as wild as Tarzan on crack!!" Nudge always had a way with words… and computers. You give a girl a laptop and she could get you an internet connection in any place at any moment in 3 minutes flat(She makes me so proud!!).
I was about to back my sweet brunette sister up when Fang grabbed me by the elbow and pulled me aside. "You know, Max, we could enjoy it down south. I hear that it's really good down there. I think that there is a couple of places we could build our home, if we don't find one. We won't go hungry; there is the Mediterranean, full of fish, and the grape fields. Give it a shot." Frankly, I was shocked. I didn't know why he was so gung hoe for this idea, but I was even more shocked about the fact that he spoke to me way more than I thought he would after every thing that happened. In fact, I was shocked that he spoke at all. This was very unlike Fang, and it scared me a little, but I concentrated on what he was talking about anyway, and when he saw that I was still going to resist, he added, "Do it for the kids."
What he didn't know was that everything I did was for the kids or the good of the kids. I loved them above myself. Always will. "Fine, but one condition."
"What would that be?" Fang hated conditions. Especially since the last condition he had tried to make me go with was to let go of my half brother. I didn't know that he was my half brother at the time, but still, the guy was bleeding out and looked terrible. I felt bad. Yes, I have feelings. He also helped us escape the egotistical, sadistic, weird accented doctor at Itex. I couldn't leave Ari there to die.
That was another thing. We, Fang and I, hadn't had a chance to talk about everything. I am really confused about what is happening between us. The thing constantly going through my head was our kiss back at the cave, and our fight before he left us with our boy buds.
Snapping back to the present, I said, "I pick the place we stay, and we have to talk later." The look of Fang's face was of relief. I guess that he was expecting me to say that he would have to read something silly while wearing a dress. I smiled at him, then left to tell the others.
They were fairly reasonable, and decided that at least they would have homes. Angel was probably reading my thoughts about how my chat with Fang would go once we got to Bordeux, and reached for my hand to give it a squeeze. I bent down, and kissed the top of her head, then I called for our hand stack ritual, and we laid down for bed. Fang had first watch.
Along with worry about my chat and how our house hunting would go, I had a strange feeling that our lives would take a weird turn once we arrived in Bordeux. But, since when have our lives been on one path?
