1Maximum Ride 4:The Final Warrning
Max POV
So I just destroyed Itex. But now what? We were flying aimlessly through the dark sky, not knowing what to do. We were all thinking to ourselves. If you're asking who WE are, its me(Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy(Gasman), and Angel. We were flying in a diamond.
I was in the back, watching everyone to make sure they were safe.
Angel was in the middle. Her name really matches everything about her. Her wings were white and pure. Her golden curls fell by her face. She was my baby. A little, freak/mutant baby. Powerful enough to control anyone's minds. She's a little freaky.
On the left was Nudge, our chatterbox. She seriously never stopped talking. Her dark wings fluttered beautifully. She was murmuring something to herself about Itex.
On the right was Gazzy and Iggy. They were best friends. Iggy is the blind guy holding the dog. Gazzy is Angel's brother. They are the only real siblings here.
And then, in the front, you guessed it: Fang. My awkward best friend. My sometimes right wing. We had a weird past, lets just say. Going from making out in a cave to him being my "brother", Fang and I have been through everything. Fang's wings were so dark, they looked purple. If you didnt have raptor vision like us, you wouldn't have seen him. He hardly ever talked. Sometimes, I felt as if he were invisible.
I decided to fly with him. We needed a plan. I sped up and let my wing brush against his, letting him know I was there.
"So... what do we do now?" I asked him. He looked at me.
"What happened to always having a plan?" He asked. At first I was angry, but then saw by his smirk he was joking. "We need food. We need sleep. We need to find out whats happening. We have to make sure all the other schools and Itex buildings are closing, forever. And then, we figure everything out."
Woah. Silent Fang Talks. That would be the headline for the Flock Weekly.
I nodded at him. "We are over Maine. Maybe we should stop in the woods." Fang agreed. I told everyone we were landing in 10 minutes.
Fang was acting weird. He seemed too calm. Wierdly calm. His eyes were fluttering, threatening to shut. Something was wrong. His wings were folding up. "Ig! Over here! 12 o clock to my voice, 1 foot away! Grab Fang's back!" Iggy was over faster than ever. We caught Fang, and then he disappeared. As in, not there. Well, kinda there but not really. I know, I know... confusing. I could feel him, could hear him. But I couldn't see him. I could see Iggy. My vison was fine. Then I heard Fang's voice, "Wha's gon on?" He murmured.
"Fang! Can you hear me?"
"Mmmhmm."
"Can you see me?"
"Mmm hmm. I'm really dizzy.Can you hold me Max?"
I was frustrated. He was talking as if someone inserted some Valium in him. "I am holding you, dummy. Now hold up your hand."
I couldn't see him. But I felt his hand smack my face. He giggled. "Oops. Sorry Maxy. Where's my hand?
Ugh. What's wrong with him? Why is he calling me Maxy? Iggy was hiding a big laugh. The little kids were confused. And then, Fang was back. He reappeared in front of my eyes. He giggled again, "Heehee. Look Maximum: I can be inviiiissssaaaaabbbblllleee!" And then he was gone again.
