A/N: Hey guys! This is my new story. And I don't know but I have a deeper connection with the Maximum Ride series then with the Twilight Saga. So I most likely will have a easier way in writing this. And it will be easier and funn-er? So review and Love it! : ) This is six pages of pure love…that's the most I've ever written! Please review! It will get better and longer!
Here's the First Chapter:
Tree! I thought as I ducked around a huge oak tree. Close one. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't relax now idiot! There still behind you! I sneered at myself. I hopped into the air when I got into a clearing and spread my wings a full sixteen feet. (A/N is that right? If not tell me! (: )
Of course they would choose to find me on the worst of days. So Fangs gone, who cares anyway? Hmm…this genetically mutated bird freak sure doesn't…My heart broke at the thought.
I fixed my face with a sneer as I came across my new enemy. When Fang left the scientist decided to unleash there most harmful and deadly weapons yet. They where like mini angels, which is ironic since there's nothing saint-ish about these things. Wings the size of ours but faces like a robot or some type of mutated alien freak.
Bye-bye birdie! Meet the new mutated freaks on the block!
Immersed in my thoughts I didn't see my foe move to strike me. Its robotic hand smashed into my face with the force of a thousand bricks. Now let me tell you, I've been hit with more things then I can count, shoes, poles, buckets, bombs, robot heads ect cetera . So you should catch my drift when I said this hurt. And I mean really hurt.
I tasted blood in my mouth as I fell to the ground. My face felt like it been pound in by a sledge hammer…and trust me it has. I could already feel the swelling. I cringed as the angel robot started talking.
The voice soundly like nails on chalkboard. Painful? Heck ya.
Now, I'm not fluent in weird freaky robot language but I am smart enough to pick up the words "you" and "die" and "today", using all my bird brains I'm going to go with the robot saying that I'm going to die today.
That's certainly not true, Maximum Ride doesn't give up.
As the angel robot began to emerge on me I shot up at the last second and used my super speed to push past them. The angel robots didn't have that annoying sound the flyboys did so I couldn't tell if I was being followed.
I did a few loops in the air and headed away from the forest where I had been hunted down. But not towards home I really don't think the Flock could withstand this threat in their catatonic state.
I flew around for a couple of hours and made sure no one was following me. Then I headed to our favorite "Hawk Spot" I needed to cool down. Cool down in Max code is cry your eyes out in teenage girl code.
So that's what I did. I cried my eyes out. For one of the first times in the history of forever Maximum Ride cried.
And it felt good.
A/N Like it so far? This is only a PAGE BREAK !!!!!!!! KEEP GOING!
When I strolled into our cabin at twelve AM on a Sunday afternoon I was swamped.
"Where did you go! We thought you were living us too! Why did you leave? Why are you back? What's going on? Maaaaax!" Nudge chattered on, though her voice had a hint of venom in it-something I had never seen in Nudge before.
"Yeah, why didn't you just leave us too? Go find Fang and leave us to die just like he did." Iggy said with a sad and scary calm voice. I think he had been the most hostile since Fang left because Fang, no doubt, was Iggy's best friend.
"Nudge! Iggy! Why would I leave you? Hmm…you forget that Fang also abandoned me? Why would I do that to you guys. Where are Gazzy and Angel?" I eyed them they looked at each other and looked back at me suspiciously. My mom also wasn't going to be there because she had to go back to take care of Total and Akila.
"Guys?"
"Well," Iggy began, "they kind of left."
"Left? Like forever?" My face turned white and then I'm sure green. I felt like someone punched me in the gut.
"Not forever. More like a walk!" Nudge chirped. The edge gone. Now trying to cheer me up. Who could be cheery when they've lost basically everything they swore to protect.
"Oh." I sat down on our beaten up old couch. Why do people keep living me?
I told you not to trust anyone, Maximum. You see why?
Oh I see! I can lose my best friend/boyfriend, my little girl and sweet boy, but heaven forbid I lose the infamous Voice!
Maximum, don't be so hostile, you need me now more then ever.
The last time I listened to you I got kicked out of the Flock and lost my best friend/ boyfriend. Why should I listen to you?
There wasn't a reply.
Didn't think there would be.
That's when everything went black and I slipped into a deep, depressed slumber.
It was nine AM when I woke up from the slamming of the front door. My first thought was "Where is my Flock?" My second thought was. "Where is Gazzy and Angel at?" With that thought I hopped up from my seat and ran into the kitchen were I heard voices protruding from.
I saw soft blonde hair and sweet blue eyes.
"Gazzy! Angel! Where in the world have you been? I swear! If I wasn't so worried I would thump both of you upside the head!" My voice held venom while my face held relief.
"Max!" Gazzy and Angel yelled at the same time as they hugged me.
"Guess what, Max!" Angel squealed. It reminded me of before she went all psychotic. Hope filled my heart.
Don't get your hopes up, Maximum. She hasn't changed a bit. Wait and you will see. I ignored the voice and smiled down at my sweet girl.
"What baby?" Angel beamed up at me.
"When Gazzy and I were exploring we found the coolest house and town ever! They have like a bazillion food places and secluded housing! We found the perfect house! Oh Max can we please move there? Please? I really want to get out of this depressing house! I want to go back to real school! Were there isn't creepy scientist! Please Max!" By the end of Angels speech she was flat out begging.
That's what I had been thinking of last night. Moving, to get away from these bad habits and haunting memories.
"Well guys, I guess we're moving!" A change would be good.
Nudge started blabbing on about school clothes and Iggy started planning pranks with Gazzy and Angel was chatting my ear off about all the cool things the they could learn that "Max's School of Cool Learning" couldn't teach.
I wonder if this means that we don't have to tell Dylan! My mood lifted at the thought.
About ten minutes later we were packed and ready to leave. We didn't have much since we were always on the run all the time.
When we were packing I came across something I hadn't seen in almost a month and a half. The presents from our disastrous Flock Birthday Party Palloza!
And guess who's present really stuck out?
Fang's.
The attractive elegant glint of the ring caught my eye. For a second I smiled to myself. The ring was beautiful. Then my eyes welded with unshed tears. I slipped the ring on my wedding band finger and put a stern look on my face.
"Okay guys! It looks like its time to go! Say goodbye to the past and Huh-low to the future!" I know right? Always trying to be the positive go getter! I thought to myself as I walked out of my room and into a conversation the boys where having.
Iggy smiled, "Hey Gaz remember when that bomb we made accidentally went off in Max's room and we-" Wait. What?
"What? A bomb went off in my room?" I gave them both stern looks. Which, of course, was wasted on Iggy.
"NO!" Both Iggy and Gazzy shouted.
"Uh-huh." Stupid bird kids. Act like THE LEADER of the FLOCK didn't know when they were lying. Well, it was in the past so…lets move towards the corner or future…whatever you want to call it.
I'm so…cheesy.
"Maaaaax! I want to go now!" Angel had that look on her face, of innocence and like she was using some type of control on my mind. I ignored it, nodded my head and we headed out the door.
About two hours and sixteen minutes later I was looking at my new house, I mean, our new house.
No one once asked me about the ring. The others probably knew that if they did ask I would most likely, without a doubt, rip their faces off.
The younger kids ran to find what room they wanted. While Iggy, Dylan (apparently we had to tell him, against my better judgments) and yours truly, hung back and talked about starting school.
"Yeah," agreeing with something Iggy said earlier, "I'll get it all checked out tomorrow."
No need.
What do you mean Angel?
Well Max, I kind of already signed us up for school. Our first day of school is tomorrow.
"Scratch that Igster and…Dylan. Our first day of school is tomorrow." The looked at me but didn't question anything.
Angel, what is the name of the school?
Ridge Way Park High and Middle.
Oh…fun. Class schedules? I've seen enough movies to know that we all have them. And that it's mandatory…whatever that means.
I sat them under the bathroom sink.
Why the bathroom sink?
Would you look there?
Good point.
I cut Iggy off from what he was saying and walked to the bathroom underneath the sink and pulled the schedules out.
Maxine Ride:
Grade: Freshman
Homeroom: Mrs. Warrell
1st: English 101-Mrs. Rienle
2nd: Algebra 1-Mr. Abell
3rd: Social Studies 1- Ms. Lovely
4th: PE and Health- Mr. Walls
LUNCH
5th: Free
6th: Freshman Science-Mrs. Doerr
7th: Language and Speech- Mr. DeMoisey
I looked at my schedule and basically died laughing. Algebra? English 101?
"What's so funny?" Iggy asked. I handed him my schedule. He bout died laughing too.
"You cant do Algebra! And your grammar sucks!" Okay maybe he's having too much fun.
"Iggy-"
"Haha! Oh my gosh! Science? Wow! Your going to flunk first course!" Okay now he's making me mad.
"Iggy-"
"HAHAHA! Social Studies?! Your not Social at ALL!!!!" That's enough!
"Well, well…your…blind! Yeah I said it! Your blind! B-L-I-N-D! Blind!" Yep, stating the obvious…the best…thing to when you have nothing to say.
"Wow Max, stating the obvious? If I didn't know you so well I might be mad…ha-ha…blind. You really suck at come backs." Iggy mumbled to himself as he grabbed his schedule.
"It also seems like they know I'm blind too. Hmm…I wonder if," Iggy faked gasped, "it's true! Could I possibly be blind?" He widened his eyes and faked confusion.
"Shut up, Iggy." Apparently we had the same schedule but our free period and Social Studies classes were switched.
"Your such a sore loser Max!"
"I will kill your family! I swear I will!" Iggy mumbles something like 'Its already been killed, what more can you do to it?' I ignored him and gave everyone else their schedules.
"Oh Max! I'm sooooo excited! I get knew clothes, new friends and a whole new life! Ahh! I'm going to die of excitement! Hey Max, do you think they'll be any cute boys there?! What about Dylan, Iggy and you? You'll be in High School! A normal school! No scientists or anything! Think about it, its been six months since our last attack by the School! I think we're home free! That means I can get a boyfriend and get married and have little bird babies! Wait? If we reproduce will our kids have little wings like us? Or…will they be normal? Normal, I like the sound of that! You know what else I like the sound of? Tacos! Maaaax! I'm hungry! Like really, really, really real-" Iggy slapped his hand across her never ending Nudge-rant of a mouth.
"Thank you, Iggy." He smirked.
"No thanks needed." Everyone cracked up as Nudge scowled.
"Okay, last schedule is Dylan's." I was about to hand it to him when Gazzy interrupted me.
"Wait! Where's mine? And Angels?"
"You guys don't get schedules since your in elementary school." He looked up me and muttered 'Oh'.
"Sorry buddy." I said as I handed Dylan his schedule.
Dylan smiled at me, "I guess I'm on of the luckiest guys on the planet."
I laughed at him, "Why would you think that?" Still laughing I looked up at him (Yes up, this guys was about as tall has…well you know who.) he looked me in the eyes and said softly;
"I'm the luckiest man in the world because I have absolutely every single class with you." I gaped at him. That is one of the sweetest and creepiest I've ever heard a guy say.
It kind of pissed me off.
So I did the only thing Maximum Ride could do.
I punched him.
Right in the face.
That perfect…beautiful face.
I just completely swiped that out of my memory.
Then I charged off and went to my newly acquired room.
How dare he? How can he say something…so…so….so….sweet? And how come Fang never said anything like that?
He did you just never listened. A voice chimed in…and voice that wasn't The Voice but my own.
I decided to answer it…because very rarely do I have a voice in my head that isn't The Voice or well Angel and Jeb. Well I seem to have a lot of voices in my head.
Well now its too late, right? He left. So why am I having these feeling for Dylan? Why would I fell this way? I'm still completely and utterly in love with Fang. Right?
Because it's the natural order, just like I was telling you Maximum. Dylan was made for you and without Fang it's the natural path for you to take. Speaking of The Voice.
Well just for you Voice I think I'm going to just ignore him so SUCK THAT! I'm tired of people telling me what to do and how to do it! So…this one time I'm going to do what I want to do, and that is ignore Dylan with all of my MAXNESS of powers. It cant be that hard right?
Well we'll see about that Maximum.
Is that a threat?
You'll see Maximum.
And what is that suppose to mean?
For the first time I actually waited for a response from The Voice, so courteous right?
Nothing came.
That doesn't surprise me.
So on this fabulous Wednesday night I was pacing in my room. Trying to figure out what I felt for Dylan why the heck Fang left and if I still loved him (which of course was a yes).
Why does being a teenaged, bird girl have to be so freaking hard?
A/N How did you like it? I tried really hard! it's a little sorta filler but next chapter they will be going to school…and they will meet a surprising guest! : ) CANT WAIT! Like I said this was 7 pages but this A/N and last line in this chapter was the 7th page so I am counting it as 6 pages. I really hope you like it! Please review and critique! Thanks!
