Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride. The only thing I could say I own is the plot and Serah. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Max POV:
I never really thought much about falling in love. Never. Does being a human with 2% bird DNA get in the way of that? Hmm.
"Max?" I look back to see Fang coming over. 'What's wrong?" He wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Nothing." At least nothning he should worry about. "I'm just thinking."
"About what?" I layed my head on his shoulder and looked into the night sky.
"The future. About our future. I'm lost. What're we gonna do for that? I mean, when is the hunting going to to stop? Just think about it." He pulled me closer. Oh, he felt so warm.
'Don't think about about that. Let's just enjoy now. The future can wait." And with that, eh pulled me close and kissed my lips.
Aww, that was a nice dream. If only it was sadly, my life isn't that good. I sighed loudly.
"What's wrong, Max?" I looked up and saw Nudge looking at me.
"Nothing baby. Just had a funny dream."
"I know that, but I was wondering why you were sighing. Since you were moaning and all." I could fell my eyes get big.
"I was moaning?"
"Yup!" Just then, Angel's blond head popped up from underneath the covers. "And not just that! You kept saying Fang's name over and over again."
"Fang. Fang." Nudge started rolling around in a corner with a tight expression on her face. Oh my gosh. And I looked like that? Oh man.
"I'm sorry."
'It's alright!" They said together. And then they went back to their side of the bed. I waited awhile till I was positive that were asleep. Such angels. I got up and looked around out hotel room. All was quiet. Nothing strange. Except us. But what would I do to keep a peaceful moment like this. Just a time where everything seems fine. If only I make time stop. I sigh.
"If only." I fall back onto the pillow and beg for sleep to come. That, and another one of those Fang induced dreams.
Thump.
My eyes opened wide. Right when the silhouette of a little intruder went pass the flat screen. I know. Nice place, right? She didn't seem very intimidating because it was more like she was looking for something. Nothing in particular. Just like she was trying figure out where she was.
"Hey!" That startled her so much that she actually fell on our coffee table. Oh, sad. I got up and cautiously approached her. But it took all I had not to just bust out laughing because she was a lot of trouble getting up.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Max?" By now, Nudge and Angel were up. I motioned for them to stay in the bed.
"Who are you?" I repeated. She got up and just fell on me. It did NOT feel right. The way she kept grabbing me, I had to push her away. She was all up on my...stuff.
"I- I have to get out of here! Please, please help me!" Then she started she groping me again. What was with this girl and grabbing onto people like a freak? Well, I guess that goes with the fact that she was terrified.
"Stop! What do you mean?" I waited till her stuttering just went down to frantic breathing.
"They're are people that are after me. Please help me." I backed away.
She's telling the truth.
I looked to Angel. "Alright-" I looked back to the girl. "Where are they?"
BOOOOOOM!
Well, that anwsers my question. Pieces of the ceiling fell down on us. Oh, great.
"What was that?" Angel yelled.
"An explosion!"
BOOOOOOM!
"Aghhhhhh!" I looked up to see the whole freakin wall blew up. I mean the whole wall. Then a bright light came out of nowhere. And the familiar sound of a helicopter blades came.
"They're here!" I manage to throw that girl a glance.
"Yeah! I can see that!" The door on the copter opened wide and a group of these guys that looked like the freakin SWAT team came swarming out.
"Max!" I look back and see Fang and Dylan.
"Take the kids!" I yell. Angel and Nudge got up and left along with Dylan.
"Max, let's go!" I grabbed that girl's hand and started running down the hall. Just why was I bringing her? Oh yeah, they were after her. A little ways down I saw Dylan beckoning for us to hurry.
"Come on! We're going through the back." And there was a back window. Isn't that convenient? We all waited for the kids to go first, then Iggy, then-
"Ladies first." Dylan motioned to the window. I know he didn't just-
"Dylan, don't start." I just pushed him out and looked at Fang.
"I guess I'll go." When I turned around, that girl grabbed my arm.
"Don't leave me!" I looked to Fang, he nodded. And I jumped. The feel of the wind was great. It just pushed my hair back and let it flow freely. Now this was great. But I did remember to open my wings before I became a splat on the ground. Just before a spotlight flashed on me. Where did those come from?
"Hey! Fly low!" Everyone descended a little and I finally looked back. That copter didn't look familiar. Hmph. I look back and watch the Flock.
"Wowwwww!" That girl was all wide-eyed.
"First time flying?" She nodded and started pointing out some random stars to Fang. "Thought so." This was her first time flying, I see that. But even a first time flyer wouldn't be doing what she was doing. She was grabbing all on Fang's chest and even laying her head on his shoulder. It's normal to feel like I want to kill her, right?
"Its so nice, Fang." I'm glad all he did was nod, but I still felt funny.
"Max, how far are we going?" I looked to Gazzy.
"Just till we lose those guys." Taking another glance, I see the helicopter seemed to be departing. Well, that's good. At least, until somebody decided it was time to start shooting.
"Hey! Seperate!" Everyone spread out in different directions and started moving in a zig zag. We all managed to dodge the wave of bullets. "Great job, everyone!" But a sharp pain came to my cheek. "Owww!" I cuppped my hand over my cheek and expected to feel warm blood. But no. That was a mere flesh wound. Woo! But it still hurt like-
"Aghhh!" A lot. I squeeze my cheek even more and just shut my eyes.
'Max!" Dylan! He came over and put his arm around me. Oh great! "Are you alright?"
'I'm fine." I say pushing him back.
"But I-' What is with that guy? Ugh! I'm a big girl. I've been shot before. What's a flesh wound going to do! I mean, the last time I got shot I hit a wing. I can do this. I can do this! my hand balled up. But on the inside, I did want to cry.I start flying ahead just so I can get away from him.
"Max, where are we going?" Gazzy asked. I couldn't hear the helicopter anymore, but I wasn't going to take the chance with looking back and end up having something else happen.
"Let's just stop for camp." We all start to descend toward a forest.
"Wow! This so cool!" I look back to that girl who was all up on Fang again. "You do this all the time?" He nods again. But I still feel like I want to break her neck. When we land, I assign everyone their jobs. Dylan was on fire wood, Nudge and Angel were looking for food, Iggy was cooking, and Fang and I were left to interrogate the newbie. Isn't it great how we can camp just about anywhere?
"So, who are you?' I start. She smiles before leaning back on a fallen tree trunk. The flames from the fire actually made her crystal blue eyes sparkle.
"My name is Serah. Nice to meet you." Serah.
"That's pretty." Her smile got bigger.
"But what could have brought you to Max's hotel room?" That smile Iggy had just proved that that dirty brain of his was at work. Serah looked at him.
"Well, that's a long story." I crossed my arms.
"Go ahead. We've got time." She smiles and does a big yawn.
"Alright, but let's do it tomorrow." She lies back on a pile of leaves and closes her eyes.
"Hey! Wake up!" Believe it or not, but she was really sleep. That fast! "Hey! Wake up!" Fang reaches out and grabs my hand. "What're you doing?"
"Don't. Just forget it." I get pulled into his arms. Ohhh, he feels so good.
"But Fang, we have to find out who she is." He holds me closer.
"You won't have to worry about that. She's out." I looked up into his dark eyes.
'How do you know?" He gave me a smile. Oh yeah!
"Angel told me." I looked back to see Angel was already lying with Nudge. Dang, How'd she fall asleep so fast? What was in those kabobs? "You should do what they're doing." I fall into those eyes. "I'll watch her."
"No." I push away from him and cast a glance to Serah. "I dont-"
"Trust her. I know." His put his hand under my chin and made me look at him. "Let me take it." With that, he kissed me. "Alright?"
Don't say yes Max. A little voice says. Not the actual Voice, but that small tiny voice you hear before you do something you might end up regretting or before you do something important. But I don't listen to it.
"Alright." I kiss him one more time before I lean back and lay my head on his chest. "Good-night." Sleep comes. And another Fang dream too.
Well, that's the first chapter to my new story. I hope you liked it. I'm sure it will be like It's all about us with the alternating POVs between Max and Fang. But besides that, please review.
