A/N: School has caused me to think more than I had to over the entire summer. Somehow that thinking lead me to an idea for a new story that I can turn into a FanFic.

And I added a tiny bit of FAX to the end just for you guys.


To whom it may concern,

I am Maximum Ride and I was made to save the world. For the past what feels like a lifetime that's all that I have been trying to do but I want a change. No, I need a change. I used to be content with what I was doing but now it feels like I have a different calling. Did anyone even consider my wants and needs when I was created? No, of course not. Maybe I want to sing, dance, act live a normal life or even run away with Fang. I like the sound of that last one.

This letter will be seen by no one. Even my second in command can't see this. Because I need to be the seen as being attractive, smart, strong and in control. Man, I sound full of myself. But deep down, I'm a little girl who looks in the mirror and sees everything that she's not.

But what do you care? All you are is a sheet of paper that I'm scribbling down everything that I can't tell anyone else on. You are nothing! Just a blank sheet that could be used for much more light hearted things than this! How can I be so selfish to waste you on this? I know why, because it needs to be done. I need to do this so I can take care of my problems and forget about them completely.

How do I get rid of this paper then? Do I shred it? No, because someone could find the pieces and find out my problems. Should I hide it? With my luck someone would discover this and know what I've been thinking about. I should burn it.

You're probably wondering what lead me to this insanity. Could you call this insanity? I don't think so. Well, to answer your question, I have no idea. Also you must want to know how Angel doesn't know about this. I've been blocking my thoughts for quite a while now to protect her from me.

So I guess this is where I say good bye. I'm off to burn away my burdens,

Max.


I looked down at my paper and quickly folded it up and crammed it in my pocket.

"Max, what's going on?" asked Fang as I ran out into the night sky.

"I'll be back in a bit," I promised and took off into the darkness.

I flew for a couple of minutes until I found a place where I could burn the note and nobody could find it. I fished around in my pocket until I found the piece of paper and a lighter.

"Here goes nothing," I said and placed the note on a rock and started to light the lighter. Finally, I got a flame and it didn't take long to get the sheet of paper on fire either.

"Max what the hell are you doing?" Fang sounded panicked. I hadn't even noticed that he was here.

"Nothing, I'm just dealing with some problems." Yeah you could call this what I'm doing right?

"You're trying to burn down Sedona!" He said and started to stamp out the fire.

Sedona? Hmmm, I didn't realize that I'd flown that far. "No Fang I need this one thing to burn. Once that is done I'll come back, I promise."

By then Fang had already stopped the flames from spreading and he held my singed letter in his hand. "Max," His tone was cautious, "What is this?"

As fast as I could, I lunged for the page and tried to snatch hit from his hands. "How much of it is left?"

All that was left was a thin strip with the words, "this letter can be seen by no one" written on it.

"Max, tell me what is going on."

I started to back away, "It's just words on paper."

"Max."

"It's nothing." But that was a lie. My knees buckled and my vision blurred with tears. Before I knew what was happening strong, gentle arms wrapped around me.

"It's okay," Fang murmured in my ear. "You didn't do anything wrong. Now let's get you home so no one has to see you like this."

I nodded and Fang picked me up and flew us home.


I'm debating whether or not this should be a one shot. I have ideas on what I could do with this story but I'm not sure if it's better off as a one shot…
