Hello pple I wanted to put a story up and for some reason this just popped into my head. Don't worry, there will b fax kk? And something else, cause I love romance kk??
Flying with friends isn't always fun.
Run! She urged her self. Her heart was pounding as hard as her shoes slapping against the wet pavement beneath her feet. She'd just seen her big brother get murdered and she was next. This wasn't the time for her to be a big baby. Run! You can do it! She urged herself, breathing deeply through her nose. Her light blue hair flew around her face, momentarily blinding her. She didn't have time for this! Wit was not in the mood for it. She'd seen Ryan killed, and her hair wanted to get in her face! The noise around her died away as she flew past the playground, emptied of children for the rain. Kit was running the other way, trying to save the one and only Wit. Poison promised her brother he would take care of her, should anything happen to him, but he'd gotten lost in the chaos. Demon wasn't around either. Crush wasn't even here! She was always here!
Wit rounded the corner, hearing her pursuer slow to catch his breath. She jumped as high as she could, whipping open her blood red wings. (Pic of her in my profile, if I can get it in there….). She was not ready for all of this. Wit blinked her pink, teary eyes and flew straight above where she'd watched as her brother was killed. It wasn't fair. What did he do to them?!
He existed. That's what he did. And that's why they're after you. Because you exist in this world when you shouldn't. Talk about tough luck! She thought to her self, finally letting her tears fall. It wasn't fair that someone who only cared about everything got killed when he shouldn't have. First it was Milli, then Piper, then Aqua, now Ryan! Some of these people were going to get what was coming for them. And if no one else was going to give it to them, she would. One of her heart pins felt loose in her now messed up long blue piggy tails. It was still raining out, and she didn't need to catch a cold.
"Wit! Where are you?!" Some ones voice woke her from her sleep. It was still raining, and still cold from where Wit was sitting, but that didn't matter. Poison was here! Even if he was the most annoying one of the group, he was still going to help. Even if he didn't want to. He'd promised her brother. So there! She thought triumphantly. When Poison flew up to her, his face wasn't joyful, like always, his purple eyes held no gleefulness that showed when he'd just played a prank on someone. No, his face was ashen, sad. It was covered in dirt and blood, possibly his own. He flew to her, hugging her hard.
"It's okay, now. We've gotcha Wit." Kit was the oldest, but Ryan was in charge. He was the most responsible at the age of 17. Kit was 19 and totally irresponsible. Poison was fifteen and a total hyper person who would do anything for a joke. Demon was sixteen and totally lost in his own world most of the time. He really meant well, but sometimes he had a bad temper when he felt scared or lost. Crush was fifteen and was always disappearing and reappearing. She was Wit's guardian angel of sorts. She was the one who cheered her up when her brother left to get food or made a long trip and worried her. Wit was fourteen and never wanted to see as many people as she had die. For some reason, she always seemed so much more sweet and innocent than a fourteen year old who'd seen more drama than any child should. But she couldn't change the past, so moving on. She'd learned to never dwell on the past. She was supposed to be secret, secret from the world and even her creators' boss, but he found out and came after them, picking them off one by one. She shivered, Poison was soaking wet, but it felt good to be hugged.
"Thank you. Where is Kit?" She asked, trying to dry her tears. It wasn't easy.
"…I'm not sure. But I saw your necklace shining so I followed it." He said into her shoulder. They all had matching necklaces, Wits was blue and matched her hair. She wore it as a chocker, while the boys wore theirs as necklaces. It was something they used to find each other. All they had to do was look for a color coded shine (blue in Wits' case) and follow it.
"I guess we should go look for him…them, shouldn't we?" Wit asked, her pink eyes closing against Poisons black tank top. It had to be cold on him, it was really thin. Sighing, Poison let go, standing up and looking around.
"I don't think that's such a good idea," he said, looking at Wit from the corner of his eye. Too late! She thought, jumping off the building she was on and spreading her wings. This was the only good part of the day. Feeling the rain roll off her feathers and not worry about anything. Except the fact that she was stuck with a group of boys and no brother. And that she was looking for the one called Maximum.
"Okay, for the last time guys, we are not lost!" I yelled. Yup. Max here, lost in the sky. How, you ask? I have no clue. We were here, and then we were running from a storm. Fang was so not believing this but, he didn't have to. As long as the kids thought I knew where we were, it was all good. Iggy had a look of 'yeah right' on his face and Nudge gave me a glare like I was undermining her intellect. Angel laughed at me in a 'You know I know' way and Gazzy looked so believing in my words that I had to laugh.
"Max, why don't we just land and get into one of those abandoned buildings?!" Fang called suggestively. Of course, he just talks when he gets the chance to make me seem stupid or unleaderly. I sighed and nodded, letting Angel and Fang go past me first, then Iggy and Gazzy. Nudge smiled as we descended together. The abandoned building was okay, but it looked too…was it bad to say it was too spacious? Too…evil feeling. I walked around it, looking around all of the threatening corners and under all the spare pieces of wall. Iggy and I made a space for a safe fire to be started while Fang and Nudge put up some of the wood to keep some of the rain out. Something red caught my eye. Fang seemed to notice my distraction and mumbled a "That's good enough." To Nudge. She sat down with Angel and Total, talking their heads off. Gazzy joined Iggy and helped with the fire. I walked over to the puddle of red and kneeled down by it. Fang was right behind me on that move.
"Where do you think it came from?" I asked.
"A worker?" He said, duh ringing in his tone. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't you think someone would have put up some guarders to the rain if they were still working on this building? And they would have cleaned up that much blood. Something else was in here and it was hurt." I said, staring blankly at the puddle.
"Okay, everyone, we eat, and then sleep! Anyone got a problem with that?!" I asked, standing in front of the group.
"I do!" Nudge said. My jaw dropped for a fraction of a second. She was usually happy with food and sleep…
"What would that be?" I asked suspiciously.
"I'm freezing!" She said, taking off her soaking wet jacket. Everyone else had kept theirs in their bags, so they had warm, dry jackets. Except Nudge. I sighed and took mine off, giving it to her. "Thanks Max! I don't have any problems. Unless we have to eat rats, then I'd rather starve. And I mean that! Hey, did you know that if you actually eat rat, we are in more danger of getting some sort of influenza, than anyone else?!" She said, starting to go into a rant.
"Nudge, no you don't have to eat rat. I bought food, remember? And I would never make you eat something you didn't want unless it was for your own good." I said, looking around. "Uh…foods done!" I said, my eye catching the red puddle again. I was making everyone stay here, for fear of them getting some sort of sickness from it.
After everyone was done eating, they went to sleep, too tired from today's lovely little storm. I stood at the edge of the building, watching the storm frighten many into their homes. It wasn't fair, to have to watch them have a families comfort. I had a family, and they were too young to be of any comfort. But I got comfort from knowing they were safe, wasn't that enough for me?
No, it's not. Because you want someone older than you to take care of you. Even the love of little ones can't replace that. But that doesn't matter. You give them comfort, and THAT'S all that matters. I reminded myself, watching the sky change colors.
"Whatcha thinkin' about?" A dark voice said from behind me. I jumped slightly, almost falling out of our building.
"Why I'm so selfish." I sighed. Fang chuckled, sitting down. I followed subconsciously.
"You're not selfish." He said, looking at the rainy sky.
"Yes I am. If I wasn't, then I wouldn't be so jealous of all of the families in their homes. But I am. So…" I said, ignoring the slight snort he gave.
"That's not being selfish. That's being human." Fang said in a tone that questioned if I had ever been to a shrink. No I have not, is that a problem!?!
"But, I'm not human, so it's not right!" I snapped. He opened his wings a bit and I did mine. As he opened his mouth to speak a small poof came from behind us and for a split second I thought that a bomb had gone off.
"Crap! I'm too late!" A girl with red hair hissed, shaking out her green wings. She seemed to see our wings and gasp. Fang and I shared a split second look and were on our feet and in front of the flock in a flash.
"Who are you?" I demanded, the lightening out side flashing and illuminating my face. She was wearing some strange outfit and some weird necklace, it was flashing. I think it was a tracker.
"The names Crush, but for now, I gotta go! Wits got a big- wait a sec. Are you the one known as Maximum?" She asked, her face was happy as though she'd found a treasure.
"Who wants to know?" Fang asked, his foot sliding back to nudge Iggy awake. I caught on and tapped Angel with my foot oh-so inconspicuously.
"I can see that. And they won't be in danger. I'm leavin- Aw crap! Wit's hurt! Dang it!" She poof-ed again and was out of there. I shook my head and sat down.
"What? Why'd you wake me up?" Iggy snapped, listening for Flyboys.
"Some girl was here….and then she was gone…" I said in a lost sort of state.
After Fang and I had filled in a ticked off Iggy, he went back to bed, snoring slightly. I was still on watch, seeing as I wasn't tired. Fang fell asleep soon, leaving me to think alone…Why would someone come to meet 'The one called Maximum'? I've never even met her. She wasn't familiar, and Jeb had said that we were the only ones left.
Max, she was supposed to be dead! All of them! Pretend you've never met them I jumped, then got pissed off.
Why? Why are they supposed to be dead? And Jeb, you're never supposed to talk to me in my head again! Freedom of thought, remember?! I thought, angered.
Crush was lost…again! She always got lost! Of course she'd never tell her friends that, but she was always getting lost. Like when she would disappear for hours at a time, it was because she forgot to pay attention to where she was teleporting and then BAM she was lost somewhere in Africa or something. She was so frustrated. She was supposed to be protecting Wit, and helping her get over the fact that she had just lost her brother! Of course, Crush had been fighting with Ryan, fighting with her back to his, kicking and punching. But near his death, he'd taken control of her power, telling her that she was going to live for Wit, and made her get away. And she found herself lost in Europe.
God, Ryan! You are such a jerk! You left your sister! If you would have let me stay, then you'd be here, comforting your little sister! You promised her! Promised that you'd stay with her forever! Crush thought, curling up and crying. She was on the wet forest floor. It was hard, not having a leader to tell her that she was going to have to get up and eat. That's what Ryan had done when her sister, Milli, had been killed. She'd stayed curled up for a few days, until Ryan came back from his trip to get someone to get them to a hiding spot. Yes, she knew about Ryan's dirty little secrets. He'd been making deals with bad people to save all of their lives.
"You should get up. You're going to get all wet," a voice said from behind her. It sounded like Demon, but it could be anyone. She twisted her necklace, waiting for the tingle she usually felt if it was one of the group. A shiver ran up her spine and she jumped up to hug the boy. He'd been through enough today, and he didn't need to see her break down, too.
"Demon, are you okay? Where is Kit? And Poison? And wit?" She demanded, looking up at the boy who was supposed to be the same size as her, but he was way taller. He was only one year older. He shrugged and sighed.
"How am I supposed to know?! It was Piper with the tracking power!" He snapped. Crushes face turned sour as she turned around, ignoring him. How could he be so insensitive! He knew she missed her best friends! "I'm sorry. I just don't like what's going on." He said, grinning and spreading his large blue wings and jumping into the air.
