Lips of an Angel

A/N: Hello people's I'm back! Yeah, my first story for Maximum Ride is sucky! Bleh…But I hae something a bit better for you all, okay! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: M e t r o n o m e

-Max's POV-

So this is what happened so far…

Itex is back when we thought we were finished with them. Sadly, there are more Flyboys than Erasers. My Flock and are really tired and haven't slept for days. Flyboys caught up to us and we have to fight them, even if we were tired. We lost the battle and we were all beaten up and taken back to the School. I, being the Flock's leader, was taken into a special room. Itex said they only wanted me and said they would let go of the Flock if they had me cooperate with some more experiments. At first it was a 'no' until I heard something crack and screeching from the other room. Angel was crying. "You bastards I'm going to kill you!" I was enraged. The Erasers were pulling me back from killing the Whitecoat in front of me. They asked me once more and I sighed with a slight nod to my head. They all grinned as I heard wings flapping and Erasers growling from the other room. "Max!" I heard Fang's voice as I just turned my head, trying not to even look at the door. Yet, tears swelling p in my eyes, only to be blocked by the pain in my bottom lip. I wanted to cry so badly, but I wanted them to be free too. First I heard the Whitecoat say something then, sudden unconsciousness from the shot of a needle…

-Tokyo, Japan - Fang's POV-

"Fang, come on Fang, I'm alright see?" Angel's angelic voice call out as I turned my head to see her broken arms, fully healed again.

I just smiled a bit then went back to being gloomy. I looked up into the sky, trying to ignore the cars beeping at each other, people talking so much on their phones and everything, and then the language that I couldn't understand. But Max's face kept flashing through my head as I felt a tug on my sleeve. I turned to see Iggy, the blind man actually knew where my sleeve was and actually got my attention.

"Are you sure your blind?" I asked him.

"Yes, but what's up, you're the leader, what are we supposed to do now that Max is gone-?" I cut Iggy off with a growl.

"Max isn't gone! Got it?" I said flatly.

I could feel all eyes on me. I went back to sulking as I ignored all the eyes and just crossed my arms, thinking about Max, and how she could leave us, better yet, why?

-Somewhere Else in Japan - Max's POV-

I wobble and turn as I lean against the wall, not even knowing what happened to me. I look around as I see myself in a dark alley, not much to do. I don't even remember who I am or where I am. I feel my body covered in sweat as I'm just wearing a white night dress with thin straps and no shoes at all. I look up into the sky and I can hear a lot of thins and it's so annoying. My back was hurting a lot and I don't even know why. Then there are these memories of blood, screaming, breaking bones and something ripping apart. I shivered at the thoughts. I looked around and found what seemed to be a shrine. I heard thunderclouds coming in as I ran to a huddled little space in the shrine. Seemed like I was going to be sleeping here for the while.

-Fang's POV-

It started raining as I just sighed and took the Flock to an old abandoned apartment. They didn't seem to mind the holes or anything as long as it was shelter. Nudge was just curiously looking around, finding any metal she could attract. I blended in perfectly with the darkness as Iggy was touching everything, telling Gasman the colors they were. Angel stood by my side as I just walked up to a beaten up couch. I laid in it as everyone else found something to sleep on. I started to close my eyes, actually sleeping for once.

-Max's POV-

I woke up as I saw nothing but drops and drops of rain onto the dirt. I looked around and could see a bunch of bushes and trees. I sat up, almost hitting my head against the top of the shrine. I probably wasn't supposed to sleep there; it would be rude for its people. I sighed as I just started to be quiet and listen to everything that was happening out side of the rain. Cars running through and out of the wet streets, people walking up and down the sidewalks, then something moving back and forth, making a 'click' sound. It was weird, like some kind of metronome. But I felt like I should follow it or something. I got up and entered the dropping rain, ignoring the coldness of it. Then, I ran like there was no tomorrow. The metronome was from an old abandoned apartment. I ran into it, thinking there was no one there and ran all the way to the last floor to the very top. Everything was all dusty and unused except for the brightly shining metronome. It kept clicking and clicking as if something actually moved it, going side to side. Then, I started having these horrible illusions of a girl screaming and something being ripped out of her body. Blood splattered everywhere as something big and hairy was ripping that thing out, pressuring her to the ground and letting her suffer. I covered my mouth and leaned onto the table with the metronome. I leaned over, feeling sick to my stomach from the horrible nightmare.

-Fang's POV-

"Fang! Fang! Go check it out!" Nudge whispered to me loudly as all of them were hiding behind something, including me.

We were all frightened by the sudden running-up-the-stairs footsteps. Angel pushed me lightly as I creaked to the door, opening it lightly and getting out, closing the door. I slowly walked up the stairs as I heard more moving of footsteps and stopped. Someone was in here, and I didn't know what it was, an Eraser? A burglar, who knew? All I know, I could let them escape. I ran up into the floor full of footsteps and stopped after entering the door. A girl, a bit shorter than me, was standing near a metronome and at the edge of a lightened window. I stepped forward and she stepped back. I could see that she wore no shoes and a light white dress, short to the knees. I stepped once more and her face was very clear. Blonde hair with dark brown streaks, light blue eyes, and a light white face, Max was here and completely clean. I was practically shocked from excitement. A grin ran through my face as her face just a frown.

"Max! Max your back and okay!" I yelled stretching my arms out to her. She just gasped and fell back more to the other window that was opened and stood there near the edge, her hands on the pane. I stretched my arms to calm her as she leaned more to the outside. "Don't do that. Just come back with us and we'll take care of you…" I said trying to calm her.

"No!" she said frantically shaking her head.

She jumped out as I ran to the window. She landed on her feet and ran to the street. I spread out my wings and flew out the window. She kept running and running and as she looked back at me her eyes widened. She tripped onto the sidewalk, landing in the middle of the street. A drunk driver in a car was racing down the street, about to crash into her as I heard her gasp. I flew as fast as I could, trying to reach her, I couldn't afford to lose her again! Then, nothing…

A/N: Ooohh! Enticing! Anyway, good reviews please and I give you another chappie! See you later!
