I don't own Maximum Ride. All gutter-heads better not get any ideas from this, you know what I mean, guys.
Max POV
The second I land in the mouth of the cave, I know something is wrong.
"Guys, I'm back!" I shout, walking inside.
The Flock is looking at me murderously, all except Gazzy.
"Max, we want you gone. We took a vote, and almost all of us voted for you to go. All except the Gasman," Iggy hisses.
"Leave, traitor. No one wants you here. So go running back to daddy and the big bad wolves and stay there. GO!" Fang spits.
"Gazzy, do you want to come with me?" I ask, close to tears.
"Yes, because you're not a traitor. These guys are," Gazzy says, running to stand next to me.
"And I guess you know that I had an expiration date?" I ask with a glare.
I'm met with shocked faces and sad expressions.
"MAX, WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US? I MEAN-"
"SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE. THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU I'LL MAKE SURE YOU STAY AWAY!" I scream at them.
I grab Gazzy's hand, and jump into the air. For one moment, I consider folding in my wings and not opening them ever again. The Flock was my only family, and they betrayed me. But I can't leave Gazzy. So, I latch on the current, flying nowhere in particular.
I gasp and sit up in my bed, covered in sweat. Looking around, I see Alec next to me in bed, snoring away in his sleep. And before the gutter-heads get any ideas, let me just say Alec is wearing pajama pants and an "AC/ DC" t-shirt. The world is right with my new group. I remember it like it was yesterday instead of three years ago. When we first met, we were just kids. I knew I had to lead these guys different. I needed a different strategy, so I pulled out Plan B.
This plan included NOT acting like peace-loving idiots or being the sweet little kids that parents wish their kids were like.
No, we're cold and vicious to everyone but our group, (excluding my mom and Ella) named the Hunters. But inside the group, we're softies and sweethearts. I'm the oldest at 18 years old. I'm a legally an adult, so don't discriminate me when I say I'll be a mom in eight months. I still look the same, but I'm stronger, more deadly, and I'm not as nice as before THEY kicked me out. Except to the Hunters.
Alec is second oldest, also 18, and he's going to be a father in eight months. He's got perfect blue eyes that show his every emotion, even when he doesn't show them. Alec has blond hair, and he's a little bit taller than me. But only by a few inches.
Then there's Joey. He's the slightly perverted joker of the family, and has blond hair and green eyes. Next, there's Josie (JOE-SEE), the quiet killer of the group. While nice to the Hunters, she's really deadly and vicious to everyone else. Josie is probably the third deadliest in the group. Josie has long brown hair and blue eyes, and she doesn't wear a lot of make-up. After Josie is Opheilia, who is as bipolar of Josie as one can be in every way but killing and deadliness. Opheilia (OH-FEEL-EE-AH) has naturally red/orange hair and icy blue eyes, and she's the only one in the Hunters that can pull that off. We call her many things, including O, Feel, and Lila, but we usually call her by her first name. Then, it's Nyx (NIKES). There's a lot of little stuff about Nyx that will surprise you. Nyx is deaf in one ear, but he can hear with his other ear like a bat. It's super scary. Nyx's looks are nice, because all the girls go as gaga as the lady. But all he can see is Opheilia and her orange/red hair. After him is Gazzy. The gasman is so gassy anymore, but the name stuck. After saving the world from Itex, we looked through a bunch of documents on a government computer and found out that Gazzy is not six years younger than me, but three years younger. THAT was strange. Finally, there's Cassandra. Cassie has the straight blonde hair, face, and eyes of a 17 year old, but she's actually only 15. Being the baby of the family, you would expect her to love JB and strawberry lip-gloss. Actually, she's really into Paramore, Michael Jackson, and the colors black, grey, neon green, and orange. Absolutely NO PINK.
My world is perfect.
Until I have to puke.
I fling the covers off me, and start running for the bathroom. I just make it to the sink when the first chunks blow. Morning sickness sucks.
My hair is suddenly pulled off my face. Alec is the best. When I finish, I slosh water around my mouth. When I turn around to face Alec, he's grinning at me.
"You look good even after puking, ya' know that?" Alec asks.
"Nah; I probably look horrible and smell like it, too." I joke.
He leans in and gives me a wet, sloppy kiss. Leaning back, he says
"Would I kiss you if you smelled horrible or looked horrible?" He asks with a smile.
Smiling back, I walk back to my room. We each have a different room, but Alec always sleeps in my room. I open up my closet and pull out a pair of stretchy shorts and my AC/DC band t-shirt.
Hey, someone has got to love a classic like this in this family other Alec.
I pull on it all, and look at myself in the mirror. My baby bump isn't very noticeable, so I'm still wearing regular sized t-shirts. I open my door to see Alec waiting outside.
"Hey, baby, I was thinking, why don't we take the Hunters to this corn maze place? They've been begging to go, and they've been pretty good the past few days. What do you say?" Alec asks.
I nod, and walk downstairs. The dining room smells like Heaven, so Josie probably cooked. Opening the door, I see I'm right. I plop down at the table and stack my plate with 5 pancakes, 6 sausage links, and a lake of syrup.
"Okay, guys. After breakfast, we're going to go to that corn maze you guys have been dying to go to," Alec says.
Gazzy and Cassie jump up and start LMAO shuffling. Everyone else cheers. When it all dies down, Joey says,
"Hey, I was thinking and I think that we should each have our own theme song. I call "Gives You****" by the All American Rejects!"
"Yeah! I call MJ's "Who's Bad"!" Gazzy says.
"MJ's "Beat It"," Nyx says.
"Oooh "She's So MEAN" by Matchbox Twenty," Opheilia says.
"Paramore's "Renegade", please," Cassie exclaims.
""Monster" by Paramore!" I shout.
""Back In Black" by AC/DC," Alec says.
"What about you, Josie?" Joey asks.
""Turn It Off" by Paramore," Josie whispers.
We are silent. Josie is not goth or emo, no way. But she has a painful past. After being experimented on by her mother at home, she was abused by both her parents. Her only blood sibling, who was experimented on by her parents as well, was killed after stepping in to shield Josie from a beating. Then, she killed her parents with her deadliest power. Electricity and lightning. She hasn't told anyone the full story with all the details, and she says she'll tell us when she's ready. And we don't push her to, or read her mind like SOME PEOPLE.
"Let's go, get in the car, guys," Alec says, breaking the silence.
I push a sausage into my mouth, and walk outside. I'm not so hungry anymore.
