Yeah, so here I am. Maximum Ride, on the lam. Always running from various robots and humans, and an occasional mutant, you never know. Constantly on the fly, literally. Me and my flock, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel, plus our talking dog, Total, smoothly gliding through the air somewhere above Massachusetts. Our talking dog, I sighed. Quite annoying.
No he's not! Angel's high voice piped into my head.
Sure he's not Angel. I mentally replied. Not Total, never. I smirked to reassure my baby that I was just joking around, but when I turned to look at her my eyes met with another's. His eyes. His dark and mysterious eyes. Fang silently glided over as close as he could to me without our long wings whacking together.
"What up?" He asked.
"Besides us, nothing." I retorted. My temper was especially short due to my rumbling stomach. For a split second I thought I saw humor in his expression, but then,
POOF!
All that tiny bit of emotion was gone. I sighed once more.
"I'm just hungry." I mumbled, but Nudge interrupted me.
"Maaax! I'm hungry! When are we going to stop for food? I really want chicken now, but I don't know why. Can we stop somewh-" I cut Nudge off before my ears started to bleed.
"We're stopping soon Nudge. Just keep your mouth closed and you won't be as hungry." I yawned loudly. "We'll get some hotel rooms, okay?' Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggy all nodded, even though the question was directed to Nudge. Angel just yawned.
"Good! I really want a hamburger right now!" Total grunted from Iggy's arms.
"Oh, pipe down!" I snapped.
Now Max. There's no need to be testy. I groaned. He/she/it was back. THE VOICE. MY VOICE.
There's a hotel three miles north. I rolled my eyes. Ever-so-helpful voice was helpful, when he/she/it wanted them self to be. About 3 minutes later we landed in a clearing near the hotel. The flock mustered up as much energy as they could and sprinted into the lobby.
