Well, this is my first fan fiction, and I chose to write a fan fiction about Maximum Ride series, and I also decided that Angel would be the star in this story! I also rated this K+, since I used easy vocabularies or language in this story, I am still unable to use complicated English words for now, I am not so confident. Forgive me if I have made mistakes in my first fan fiction... I hope to read suggestions by seniors... Critics are okay, but please don't flame me this time... X_X (I haven't prepared my heart yet for it!) Okay, so here it goes!

Angel's Short Break

Angel was separated from the flock when the enemies ambushed the flock when they tried to run away. Angel was so frightened. The scientists were doing an experiment to her. In result, she could only use some of her abilities, which are : reading people's heart (it should have been people's mind, but due the experiments, Angel was only able to read people's hearts for about 2 days-that was why Angel was so frightened), breath in the water, and talk with the fishes only.

Fortunately, Angel didn't go to anywhere harmful. She's now at the beach, apparently an unused and isolated from humans. Because of it, she is unable to find a good place to hide and decide to wait for Max and the others at the beach, while resting and storing up her energies.

Angel POV

What should I do now? I couldn't find Max, Fang, Gazzy, and the others anywhere near this territory. Should I wait for them? I think they will be able to search for me in this isolated region? I don't even know where I am now. All I feel is tired... and hungry. I don't have any energy to run nor do I have the energy to fly and search for my friends. All I can do now is... wait patiently... and try to search for some edible food here. I can't stare at the waves all the time, right?

I walk closer to the seashore and try to search for any animal that I can eat... Maybe fish, if I am lucky enough. I have a twig that I can use to search for shells underneath, too. I'll try...

Oh, what is it? Am I dreaming it..or? A giant fish tail in front of me! Spontaneously, I am chasing the tail. I'm so tired to run again, so I decided to end this with a jump and catch! It will be a delicious meal, enough to restore my energy back.

" Wait for a minute!"

What? Did I just hear things? Is there someone talking here?

" it's me!" I looked at the source of the voice. What? No way, right? The giant fish is talking?

" Well, fish, please stop talking and let me eat you. I am so starved and dying now. I must restore my energy so I can search for my friends. So, can I eat you now, please?" I asked desperately. If it's a dream, I just want to wake up as soon as I can.

" Sorry, but I am not a giant fish," said the voice.

" Then, what are you?" I can't wait any longer.

" I am Walrus!" the voice talked again.

" Walrus? Then, maybe I can eat a walrus, too, no problem as long as I can survive," I was about to grab its tail when...

" Oops, sorry! Walrus is my name!" a girl's head showed up from the water. I moved back, to give 'Walrus' her way.

" Ta-da! I'm a mermaid~", a pretty girl with long, wavy, and blonde hair appeared from the water with a half of fish body. Yeah, she's indeed a mermaid. Her face seems childish though.

" My name is Walrus! I think I'm 12 years old by now, and you?" she's staring at me. Uh-oh, my wings are still appearing! But, she's also not a human, right?

" I'm Angel, and I'm 6 and a half years old," I answered. She frowned, but then her smily face came back again.

" So, why are you a mermaid?" I asked.

" And why are you a winged girl?" she asked me back.

" Uhm, some crazy people changed my DNA... so, I'm 2% avian and 98% human..." I answered doubtfully.

" Really? Oh, then me too! I managed to escape with the help from my friends, many mermaids, boys and girls, and also fairies, all of them are just children like us!" She answered lightly. I caught up an idea that she's not a bad person.

" Really? Do you also have your own kingdom?" I asked enthusiastic.

" Hahaha, not a kingdom, but our own houses made from beautiful sea cavern! Do you want to dive around the sea with me?" She asked, " Ehm, sorry, you are an avian-human, right? Guess you can't..." She became sad right away.

" Not at all, I can explore the sea with you, don't worry about it!" She looked at me with her green eyes, "but...," I said, " Can you please help me to overcome my starved stomach?"

She quickly dove back to the sea. I don't have any idea why did she do that. Is she intending to leave me alone since she can't help me to survive? No way... I am so starved!

" Sorry to make you wait-" she came back. What? She... Walrus? Came back? With some fishes with her? I really owe my life to her this time!

" These are some fishes for you! Hurry up and eat them, so we can play together in the water, okay? I am so excited to accompany you to explore the wonders of the sea, where I'm living and my beloved place! " said Walrus.

" Okay, let me grill it, ah... there are some twigs there! Wait for me, okay? "

After Angel has finished to eat... Normal POV.

" Thank you so much for letting me to eat and for giving me these yummy fishes! I'm so glad that you want to accompany me to explore the sea, but I must search for my friends right now..." Angel's eyes are rolling... She's afraid that Walrus would be mad at her, but she doesn't have any other choice. She must find the flock, after all.

" Uh-oh... So you are going to leave me alone here? Well.. no problem with me... See you... later..." Walrus' face looks very sad. Angel couldn't look at her face. Angel is being quiet.

" Well... maybe I can accompany you, I owe you my life, you gave me food to eat after all. Maybe I can find Max and the others while we are exploring," Finally, Angel decided to pay all of her debts to Walrus. That kind mermaid shows a happy expression on her face.

" They are some small lands that we can find while we explore the sea later! Hopefully you can find your friends there! Okay, are you ready now, Angel?" Walrus turned back, she's facing the vast and beautiful sea now. She's ready to dive whenever Angel says okay.

" Yup, I am ready," said Angel, preparing to follow Walrus.

" Okay, in one... two... three! Our adventure begins!" Walrus shouted.
