A/N So hi this is my very first fanfiction and don't worry I've been writing for a while so ill make it good. So max and fang are kissy face. And Percy and Annabeth. And Iggy and Ella. And Nudge and Gazzy. And some luuuuurve triangles. Lots of 'em.
Mollie: So can we start now?
Me: Be patient molls. All in due time…
Mollie: Fail. Complete and total fail.
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Maximum Ride or Percy Jackson. Or any characters that appear in those books. So don't sue me…
Max POV
Gazzy cackled as Nudge chased him around the forest we're flying over, "Ooooh! Nudge is writing about a GUY!"
Nudge screamed, "GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK!"
From out of nowhere Fang flew up and took the book from Gazzy giving it right back to Nudge. Nudge clutched the small pocket journal to her chest relief written all over her face as she gushed her thanks to Fang.
"Hey, no fair!" Gazzy yelled, "It was just getting good!"
And this, my dear people, is my family. The strangest people you'll ever meet. Fang's got that whole goth thing going on. Iggy is blind and like the WHITEST person you'll ever meet. Not being racist or anything. It's just that the guy can blend in with the snow.
Then we've got Nudge the embodiment of a teenage girl stereotype. And to top it off she has the worst motormouth EVER. We got The Gasman a.k.a. Gazzy his name sort of speaks for itself… And finally Angel, this cute little blond girl with big blue eyes. Don't let that fool you. She's a demon. Gazzy and Angel are the only blood siblings among us.
And then there's me. Maximum Ride. Leader of the flock. Savior of the world. You know the normal sixteen year old girl stuff.
We sort of adopted each other. Fang and I though…well let's just say we don't really think of each other as siblings anymore.
Angel giggled behind me. Did I mention she could read minds? No? Well consider it mentioned.
So remember when I said we were flying? Well I didn't mean in an airplane. We're mutants. 98% human and 2% bird. Which resulted in the wings. I closed my eyes and relished the feel of flying. Until total decided he was hungry.
"Mmmmm…strawberries…do you guys smell that?" Total asked.
Oh yeah, and our dog could talk. No biggie. Total stopped fluttering his small black wings and hovered before diving towards the scent. The flock watched and finally I sighed, "Guess we better go after him."
We followed Total wordlessly, and landed on the outskirts of an amazing strawberry field. "I'm in heaven." Total moaned as he jumped in a basket of strawberries.
"Well they won't miss a few." Fang said as he picked up total and the basket and we walked deeper into the woods so that it would be harder to find us. I mean, we still had Erasers to worry about.
We were settled in trees across from a lake. The sunset shone off it beautifully. But I was restless. I felt like I was on the edge of something big and yet was too dense to touch it.
Your right max, the voice said, this is a step closer how you are meant to save the world
Finally I jumped up from the spot where I'd been sitting with Fang. He looked up at me. "I'm fine.", I reassure him hastily, " just going for a walk."
He nodded and folded his arms over his chest. While I walked away I couldn't help the sense of dread that enveloped me as I moved very far away from my flock, towards the strawberry fields. I closed my eyes and my hands brushed the tree trunks as I pushed through the forest. As a spur of the moment decision, I changed direction and bumped into a tree.
Wait. Trees don't go "oomph."… Do they? Slowly I opened my eyes and realized I was pressed up against the tree. A very HOT tree.
The tree looked down at me, his dazzling green eyes smiling. With the way we were standing when he looked down a wisp of jet black hair fell from his head to brush mine.
"Well." He said after a while, "This is awkward."
Hastily, I stepped away, blushing as red as a tomato, "Sorry."
"It's cool." he said, staring at me.
Frantically I made sure that my wings were hidden. At least I'd been smart enough to do that.
"Are you…from camp? Or do you have a…guardian?"
I assumed that by guardian he meant parent so I lied, "Yeah…uh…He's-"
The boy noticed my stuttering ,"It's alright. I understand" he shook his head sympathetically, "That-happens around here sometimes."
What are you talking about?, I though to myself, puzzled, "What do you mean it happens around here?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is the only safe place for people like us."
"People like us? You-"
"Half-bloods."
Percy's POV
"People like us?" the pretty girl said, I was only half listening, I was still trying to figure out if here hair was blonde or brown, "You-'
I cut her off, "Half-bloods."
"Half…what?"
"Half god." I explained.
She looked puzzled, "So…you're trying to tell me that…we're Jesus."
"No! No! Of course not! That would be crazy. I mean children of the Greek gods." I said, then realized that sounded equally crazy.
The girl put on a face you use when talking to children, "Do your parents know you're out here?" she says slowly.
I groan. Great. She thinks I'm crazy. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." , Then I realize something, "And you would already know about the gods if you even HAD a guardian. So my question is, who are you? How'd you get through the borders? And…how fast it'll take me to kill you if you ARE working for Kronos."
I had took the girl by the arm and walked her towards the big house. Campers stared at us as she struggled to get out of my grip and run away. Annabeth ran up to me a smile on her face before she realized we weren't alone, "Who's this?" she says carefully, keeping her face a mask.
"I really don't know Annabeth."
She walked beside us and looked the girl up and down, "Who are you?"
The girl just glared at Annabeth until Annabeth lowered her gaze. As we got closer to the big house we saw Chiron waiting for us. Of course he knew about the breach. Wordlessly we walked up the steps and sat in the rec room which emptied as soon as everyone saw the look on my face.
I set the girl down in a chair placed at the pool table which doubled for meetings. Annabeth took the chair across from her and glanced up at me, I shrugged, and pulled out riptide ready for an attack. You might be wondering why we put so much effort into one girl but ever since we got the fleece no mortals had ever just "wandered" in. so that meant-she wasn't.
"Now," Annabeth began, "You can tell us who you are, why you're trespassing, and who you're working for…or Percy can skewer you."
"You really don't know?" the girl said, her amber eyes widening.
"Should we?" Chiron asks, raising an eyebrow.
"No, No!" she says quickly, " I like it better that way."
"Well I don't." I said playing with the tip of my sword.
"I'm Max. Maximum Ride. My flock and I-"
"Flock?" Chiron asks.
"Uh…group."
We stare at her, "There are more of you?"
Her face goes white as she realizes she just sold out her group.
