Hey hey hey!! Whaddup, Earthlings? This is my first story I'm writing alone. You may call me Ashley, but I'm telling you it's not my real name. So don't even try stalking me.
Ok, if this sucks, please no flames. You may only send flames if they contain CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM. K??
For all you people out there interested in the Max/Fang pairing, I'm sorry to say that, although I am a strong supporter of Max/Fang, it fails to be stressed upon in this story. And for all you crazy supporters (no offense) of Iggy/Nudge, Fang/Nudge, Nudge/Gazzy, Max/Ari or any other pairing, they fail to be even mentioned. I only support Max/Fang. So ha.
OK!
Disclaimer- Nope. Don't own main characters.
Claimer- I so own the plot and my characters. And you know it, fool.
And Then There was Two – A Tale of a Modern Mutant Romeo and Juliet
Chapter one
Max POV-
Us, the flock, decided to hunker down in a huge cave in a canyon in the west.
We got burritos at the nearest Taco Bell, where it was Make Your Own Burrito Day.
It was then that we decided to hang in our awesome cave. We sat and talked around a fire until everyone but Fang and I was sleeping. (A/N- Don't get your hopes up.)
"I'll take first watch," I said, but he shook his head. "I'll do it. I'm not even tired," We went to the edge of the cave and laid down, feeling the crisp air blow against our hot faces. Finally I was shivering, and stood up.
"Fine, you take first watch," I told him and went inside.
Matt POV-
We sat near the pines, shivering. There wasn't even a fire to warm the little guys. Everyone was sleeping, except Faith and me. Faith was using the binoculars we found.
"Got any sight of them?" I asked hopefully. She shook her head. It was just her to be silent. Suddenly, Faith jumped and looked closer into her binoculars.
"There! I see the girl," she said. "She just got up. And there's the boy." I took the binoculars and saw her for myself. Blonde hair, like mine, and determined face, also like mine. She and the other must be destroyed.
"Alright, guys," I said, reluctantly waking the sound asleep kids. "It's show time."
Fang POV-
Max walked back into the cave to sleep while I sat there on first watch. After a while as I started to get sleepy, I went to wake up Max for second watch, but as I turned around, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. There were six dots in the sky, coming toward our cave. At first I assumed they were hawks, since hawks like hanging around here, but as they got closer, I saw them for what they really were: KIDS. Flying kids.
I then made the most emotional look of shock I had ever made in my life. It was too bad Max was sleeping. I ran in.
"MAX!" I shouted, only intending to wake Max, but through the roaring in my ears, I couldn't even tell if I was shouting, so I woke up everyone else. They all raised their heads.
"What's goin' on?" Iggy sleepily asked, rubbing his unseeing eyes.
"There are flying kids out there! Coming here!" I quickly explained. Everyone gaped at me. They ran out to see if I was telling the truth.
"Holy sh—," Gazzy started, but Max gave him "the look".
The strange kids got closer, and finally landed.
Max POV-
The kids landed ungracefully. A boy who looked my age stepped forward. The weirdest part was that these kids looked almost exactly like us, except all the genders were switched. The boy had blondish hair like mine, and his features were the same, too (to a point).
"What do we have here? Little Max-y and her flocky-wocky?" the boy mocked.
"What do we have here? Freakish boy who looks like me and knows my name?" I countered.
"I will assume you want an explanation," this freakish boy said. I nodded in a "duh" kind of way.
"I'm Matt. This is Faith," he said, pointing to a girl who looked a lot like Fang. "That's Izzy, short for Isabelle," he said, gesturing toward a girl who looked like Ig. He then introduced the rest of them as Nate, Gabby, and Aaron. I'm pretty sure you can guess who resembled who in my flock.
"We look like you. We talk like you. We have wings like you. Want to know why? Because we're clones of you. After you precious pearls escaped from the school, they wanted replacements. So they created us. They accidentally got the genders wrong, so they were going to dispose of us, but we escaped. And now, because of you, we're constantly suffering from diseases we never even knew we had, frostbite, and malnutrition," he finished, leaving us speechless.
"And now we're here for our reveeeeeeeenge!!" the girl Gabby shrieked. Without warning, all six of them attacked us. Matt jumped on me, causing my breath to leave me in a giant "whoosh".
"It's not—our—fault!" I wheezed, gasping for breath. "We were just—looking out for ourselves. We didn't—know they'd make clones!" I screamed at him.
"Do you know how many more tests they did on us?" Matt yelled, shoving me down. I pinned him to the wall of the cave. "To see-to make sure they had us exact? But when they found our flaw, it was all that for—NOTHING!" he shouted, saying the last word with a shove, sending me sprawling to the floor. Nearby, I saw Gazzy crack Gabby's head on the floor. She whimpered and when limp. The fact that she looked so much like Angel almost made me whimper too, but instead I looked as Gazzy gazed down with an evil smirk on the broken body of his clone. I don't think she was dead, though. Matt and Izzy ran over to Gabby.
"Gab! Gabby!" Izzy was saying, shaking Gabby. Involuntarily, I switched the situation and pictured the same thing happening to Gasser. I shook my head and watched as Izzy and Matt helped the girl to her feet. As they were retreating, Matt gave me a death glare.
"Oh, don't you worry. We'll be back," he practically growled, and the six of them flew away.
Review please! And remember- NO FLAMES!! (Unless they contain constructive criticism.)
Peace!
