HI! this is my second fanfic! I hope you enjoy this Maximum ride story! I also want to point out that everyone might be a little OCC (out of character) because of the age and all but I hope you like it! R&R!
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum ride!
Hi, my name is Avian Ride. I am the daughter of Maximum and Fang Ride. Well dad doesn't really have a last name, so we really just give him mom's.
Well anyways, my name is Avian, and I know its sounds like a guy name but it is NOT a guys name, jeez, I hate it when someone is like 'oh and this is Avian' and then they look at me and they look confused, I mean is it to hard to believe that I'm a girl? I'm off subject again, sigh, this is NOT a trait I got from my parents.
Back to me, I'm 14 years old and I live with my parents, aunts and uncles, and occasionally with my grandma, but I was raised on the run.
At least I didn't have to be tested on at the place they call 'the school'. They don't talk about it and I don't want to hear about it.
My aunts and uncles (except uncle Iggy because he cant see) say I look a LOT like my parents. I have my dads black hair and skin, but I have moms eyes and body, I have my moms stubbornness (or so I'm told), determination, and dads ability to be completely silent, but both of the strength and temper. They are a few more thinks but I really don't feel like saying any more.
Oh and the most important, I also have wings.
Thank GOD, because the wings give a bright side to the whole 'run to stay alive' thing. My wings are rich blackish brown , and I LOVE them. They have a wing span of about 14 feet, big I know. And they are perfect. Well enough about me! Let me tell you all about me and my family.
Its bright and early as I wake up. I look around at my surroundings, something that I did everyday, every morning when we aren't at grandmas house. The cave we slept in was just that a cave filled with my family and no one else.
I got up and silently walked over to mouth of the cave and looked down at the canyon that lay below. I stretched yawned and sat dawn and just watched and looked out.
Aunt Angel must have heard my mind and woke with me and sat next to me.
"Hi Angel" I said, yeah I call my family by there first name, they didn't mind, the only people I gave titles are mom, dad, and grandma, I only on occasion call my mom and dad Max and Fang.
"Hey Avi, what are you doing up so early?" I though about that, Angel? Why do you ask if you can read my mind?
Because, she gave me a innocent look, that only she at 22 could pull off and continued in my head, it would be rude plus the rest of the flock doesn't like it. She grimaced
Well I don't mind, I Smiled, and she did to, then we silently waited for the rest of the flock to wake up. I really felt like going over there and kicking everyone up, but last time I did it for different reasons, reasons that I remember very clearly as I looked at my left arm.
Flashback:
I was 7 years old and we were in another cave, it was early and I was scared after the attack we had no less the 8 hours ago, I didn't want that to happen again so I ran up to mom and kicked her in the side and then I ran to dad, Iggy, Nudge, Angel,and Gazzy.
They jumped up and got into a fighting stans.
They were all looking around to she what was happening.
"Wait, I don't hear any danger" Iggy strained up and turned to me, "Avi? Why is your heart beating so fast?" it was true my heart was beating fast, I mean I was scared! But I wouldn't admit it.
"Um well the thing is that I thought I heard something so I kicked everyone awake, but it turned out to be nothing so go back to sleep. Auntie Angle? Don't tell them I'm afraid ok? I asked Angel with my mind, she gave me a nod and I smiled at everyone.
Mom didn't believe me.
She walked up to me, crouched down to my level, grabbed my shoulders carefully avoiding the cut on my left arm, and looked me in the eyes, but I was good at hiding my feelings, like dad, who was standing behind mom, his face expressionless, but his eyes said he was worried.
"Avian Ride," mom started, "Why did you kick everyone awake?" I couldn't tell her! s=i was supposed to be strong like her and dad, and it want the first time we were attacked by erasers, but this was the worse attack, and this was the first fight that I was really hurt, badly at least. It wasn't like hospital bad, but it still hurt.
An eraser caught me off guard, and cut me from the top of my shoulder down to my elbow. I gave him my mom's death glare, not letting him see the pain I was in and kicked the hell out of him, but when they were all dead we were flying to a safe place to rest, aka the cave, I showed them my cut and mom and dad FREAKED!
I mean dad punched the cave wall and mom was panicking over me and stuff. They blamed themselves, but it was ME who was caught of guard! I should have paid attention.
"It's not your fault! I should have paid attention, I mean it doesn't even hurt that much!" my mom smiled at me and my dad walked over to me.
"Avi," mom said, "We are you parents it our job to protect you. And we need to protect you, and don't blame yourself, or be brave"
"Man she is just as stubborn as you Max" Dad chucked at Iggy's remark, and mom throw both of them glares, not that Iggy saw them.
Remembering this I bit my lip as I looked at moms eyes and lied , "I really did hear something" my dad was looking at me now and he knew, darn you dad.
"Your scared aren't you?" he said this in a flat voice, and I nodded, he knelt next to me and mom while everyone else stayed silent.
"Avi? Are you afraid that the erasers will come and hurt you?" my mom asked, I nodded and tried to stop the tears from falling my eyes, no don't cry! I yelled at myself.
"Its ok to cry" dad said," and we wont let them hurt you again, is that why your afraid? Because this is the first time you got really hurt?" mom looked at dad, who was still looking at me, and looked back.
I nodded and mom grabbed me into a hug.
"Avi your dad is right, we" she pointed to dad, "and the rest of the flock will look after you. Right?" she said to the rest of the flock.
"Yeah, and remember, I can hear EVRYTHING! So don't worry about erasers attacking," Iggy told me.
"And I can hear there minds"Angel added
"and we can blow them to bits!" Gazzy said eagerly, he and Iggy grinned at the idea of blowing them up, I laughed.
"Yeah! I mean if we have lived this much its 'cause we can survive! I mean if your can kick us that hard to just wake us up then imagine what you could do to the enemy! If you learn more fighting then you will never be caught off guard again! Just ask us for pointers! Although I think Max and Fang are the better chooses, because they are like really good, plus there you mom and dad. Gosh I wish I had parents like Max and Fang, that you be cool. OOH and have and Aunt like me, Angle and Ella, and Uncles like Gazzy and Iggy! If only though stupid..."
"NUDGE!" we all said at once.
She blushed, "Oops, sorry" we all laughed
End of flashback.
"That was a funny day" Angel said
"Yeah for you I was terrified" then I hear the rest FINALLY wake up. I got up and turned to everyone, "Good morning. Nice to see you all up finally" they just grunted in response.
All of a sudden as I stood to walk over to the flock a got a gut retching feeling that told me something bad was going to happen. I knew was going to be one of those days, it was a power that I had, I could feel what the future brought and right now I felt like something bad was going to happen.
I walked over to Max and shook her, "Max, Max" she turned over ignoring me, "Mom come on wake up, I have another feeling" with this news she woke up and so did dad.
"What is the feeling telling you?" not all my 'feelings' were bad, huh I'm going to stop calling them feelings and call them my gut, yes instead of saying 'my feelings are telling me' I was going to say, 'my gut is telling me' I like it. Well back to reality.
"My, gut is telling me that something bad is going to happen, like really bad." it was true, I had of pain tightening my stomach, this only happened when something REALLY bad happened. I grabbed my stomach in pain as another wave came.
"Your gut?" Fang asked.
"Yes I changed it to my gut, my feeling sounds to" I paused, "weird" I finished
He rolled his eyes,
"Do you have any idea of what?" Iggy asked.
"No." I said, "Its kinda hard to tell, I cant feel if it going to be physical trouble, or emotional, or family, or global. This is so Frustrating! I feel worthless!"
"Its not your fault Avi, you cant tell, this just means that we have to be prepared" mom said. Nudge and Gazzy were still asleep.
I gave a heavy sigh, "You right," I turned to Iggy, "Can I help you make some bombs, since Gazzy is well asleep?" he smiled, mom groaned, Angel laughed, and dad, once again rolled his eyes.
"Yeah sure. Right after I make breakfast, because I'm starving!"
"Yes!" I would have helped but I was a good as cooking as mom was. And we all know that Maximum Ride could do anything but cook, that was Iggy's job.
Mom and dad got up and started to pack up their sleeping bags.
"Avi go put away you sleeping bag" Max said using her "leader/mom" voice, I pouted but got up and but it away.
The cave filled with the smell of bacon and Gazzy and Nudge woke up and ran to the fire where bacon was being made, yum, bacon, but sad to say it was the last one we had, so we ate the bacon with canned beans, and a thing called leeks, they were green, and smelled kinda funny, but when your hungry your hungry.
"Nudge, Gazzy, while you to were sleeping Avi told us that her gut was telling her that something bad was going to happen, something bad." mom informed them while her mouth was half full, yes this was the parental behavior I grew up to.
"Yeah, so we have to be like prepared" my mouth was also full.
"Avi! Don't talk with your mouth full" WHAT!
I swallowed,"But, but . You- were just. DAD! Help here!" dad gave me his, sorry want to help but cant if I want to stay alive look, yeah he dad that look.
Everyone else laughed.
Ha ha very funny, I just pouted and looked at the fire.
"Avi, do you know when?" dad said returning to my gut feeling.
"No" I said disappointed, usual I felt when these things were going to happen, but right now nothing came.
"Well how about we just stay prepared and fly to moms, then if anything happens on the way we know were to go if someone get hurt.
We agreed and anxiously waited for what was to come.
