Claimer: I own this plot. Ask before you steal it.

Update: Re-re-written. It's better now.

Third person POV

So, you all know about Maximum Ride, the kick butt mutant that saved all of our asses from Itex. You also probably know that Maximum Ride loves her best friend Fang and that he loves her back. Actually, everyone seems to know that except Max. Fortunately, a not-so-little other worldly spirit called Fate has gotten quite impatient waiting and waiting for something to happen, so she's decided to intervene herself. And when Fate intervenes 'something' does not even begin to cover it…

Max POV

I stood in my room just looking at it. It was surreal to have a room all my own, but I did thanks to my Mom, whose house we were staying at.

I was passing by a mirror when I decided to look in it. But, I didn't decide to look in it, if that makes sense. Is this what mind control feels like? I wondered, It can't be, Angel is at the park with Mom today. I saw my brush on the table in front of the mirror. I figured it was Nudge's idea of a 'subtle' hint that my hair was in need of brushing.

I picked it up and once it touched my hair some unnatural force forced me to sing.

The sound coming from my mouth did not sound like me, or anything I had ever heard. It was high pitched, and the words were from a language I had never heard. It was eerily beautiful.

I was certain that it was not coming from me, even though I could see my mouth moving and hear it as if it were my own words. I couldn't let go of the brush or stop singing no matter how hard I tried.

I gasped as I was released from whatever force was controlling me and dropped the brush, scrambling back to my bed.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself. Then, when I went to examine the brush, it was gone.

I thought I heard something outside my door, but I think it's just fourteen years of compulsive secrecy taking their toll. Even I knew that this was beyond anything I could sense.

I walked down stairs and found a surprise waiting for me…

Fang POV

I was walking to Max's room to see if she had woken up yet. The flock wanted me to ask if we could go to the park today, which was pointless because Angel and Dr. M were already there.

We all knew Max would say yes, though. I think they were just trying to get rid of me or something, from what I remember none of them wanted to go to the park in the first place. They probably wanted to play truth or dare and thought this was a good way to get her over there.

I was about to knock on her door and ask her to come into the hallway so I wouldn't have to go into her room. It was all white, when we moved in, and do not want to see that again. I've heard that she decorated, though. I should see that, I decided. I had opened the door a crack when I heard a song, to me it sounded like Max was chanting.

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all.

Not me that's for sure.

Maybe that's why he's given up

Someone beautiful has probably stolen his heart

But we'll never be worlds apart

He'll always be my best friend

I'll fake a smile and things will be the same as always

He'll never see the hurt he caused me."

Then Max finished with a gasp and dropped her brush. I thought she had seen me so I backed into the hallway and ran to my room. Did she really think I could give up or meet someone else?

She's crazy. I've eased up for a while to give her some time to think about me. It seems to have worked… She was talking about me right? Yeah. I guess I'll have to prove it to her. I went downstairs and waited for her to come down.

Max POV

Still shaken, I eased my way downstairs. I think I had been possessed. I had gotten down stairs and immediately was kissed. I could tell it was Fang. When his lips touched mine, instead of fogging up my mind, it was like a fog had been lifted… I-I loved him.

Fate POV

So, I seem to have done it again. And, it's about time too. Max isn't the only one who can see clearly now. My inner eye has been blurring whenever anything has to do with Maximum. Now, thankfully, I see clearly and let me tell you, this is very far from over. Things are about to get interesting...

The next chapter is about Fate meeting Angel
