Hello there! Since I am obsessed with Maximum Ride and obsessed with Iggy, I was like "Hey! Why not write a Maximum Ride story?" I was reading the story With Wings Once Lost by Pandorad24 and I was inspired to write a MR story. Not based off of her story but just wanted to write in general. Is that too confusing?
Anyways… This is a slight AU fic… They still have wings and such but the flock is only Max, Fang, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. Iggy and Total live by themselves somewhere… And Iggy is still blind. Total can still talk…
But please don't tell me "That didn't happen because this happened." Or "You got that wrong! You forgot this." I didn't finish reading the series, okay? I just finished The Final Warning just recently. I also just started MAX. I didn't start it actually. I just read the back cover. So yeah…
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Maximum Ride.
Chapter One, Meeting
It was evening, around midnight, and it was peaceful. Well… At least it's supposed to be peaceful. Max and her flock were desperately trying to escape from some cops. They tried Angel's mind controlling powers but they seem to block her somehow. So far, they couldn't see them but they know they are still chasing them.
The moon was shining brightly as they were running (they couldn't fly away or the cops will call helicopters and reinforcements). Max was ahead of everyone else. She saw a lonely house in the middle of flat grassy land. It was only that house, standing alone.
"The house! We're going in that house!" she said. Her flock agreed. She didn't care if someone was already living in there; she was just going to risk it. Besides, who's going to live in a house in the middle of nowhere, right?
Or so she thought.
Iggy was sleeping on his bed with Total, his "seeing eye" dog, lying on his legs, above his blanket. His wings were stretched out and were off his bed, spread out on the floor. His eyes fluttered open when he heard the front door swung open. Then his eyes widen when he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Total was awake and alert. Iggy quickly folded his wings in and sat up.
He heard his door swung open and everything was quiet. He could hear the silent breathing of four or five people.
"I can explain…" he heard a girl's voice. She sounded, maybe, fourteen or fifteen. "We're being chased by…"
That's all Iggy needed to hear. "Okay. I'll help." He stood up and walked over to his closet, opened it, and removed a picture frame. The strangers watched him and he could hear a low growl of Total. He figured they ignored him, which Total dislikes. A lot. Iggy place his hand on the wall while he heard gasps when green light glowed and scanned his hand. A part of the wall was sliding open to a room. "You guys go in here. If the police comes, I'll deal with them."
They agreed right away and one by one, they stepped inside. "Oh yeah. My names Max, by the way. This is Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." He heard the girl say. "We owe you."
He smiled. "The names Iggy and that's my dog, Total. And plus, I'm blind. I'll explain it to you if you explain things to me." With that he slid the secret door close, put the picture frame back in place, and closed the closet door.
He heard his door bell ring. "Total." The dog looked up. "But on your best acting face and dog bark."
"Aye, aye, captain." Total said and started sliding his head into his leash. Iggy grabbed the other end and messed up his hair a bit.
Max's eyes widen. Did that dog just talk? The room that they were all in was dark and slightly cramped. But there was one thing that caught their eyes. There was a small screen and a small speaker right next to it. The screen showed the front door. They saw the two cops that were chasing them standing there.
A bark was heard and then they heard the guy, Iggy, say; "Calm down, Total." They saw the front door open and Iggy appeared though it.
"Good evening. We're sorry to interrupt you but have you seen five children, three female and two male, running around?" asked a male cop.
Iggy yawned. "I'm sorry but who are you? I don't mean to be rude but, you see, I'm blind." He gestured to Total. "And this is my guide dog."
"We're sorry." The women cop replied. "We are officers who are hunting down the children we just explained to you."
"Did they do something wrong?" Iggy asked, scratching his head a bit.
"Yes, they have. Have you seen them?" the male officer asked.
Iggy frowned at the comment. "I don't think I can see them. It's a bit impossible because, you know, I'm blind."
The male cop blushed a bit. "We're sorry for interrupting you."
Iggy sighed. "It's alright. If you don't mind, I like to catch some Z's…" He yawned again. The officers muttered apologies again and left. Iggy walked back into the house and shut the door. The screen went blank and they couldn't hear anything anymore.
The door opened and the Flock walked out. They stretched for being in a small space for so long.
"You guys can explain to me about things tomorrow. You guys should stay for the night."
Max blinked. She couldn't trust anybody but something tells her that she should believe him.
Go with what you believe is right.
Max sighed. It was her Voice. She looked around and saw pleading eyes from everyone, except Fang. "Alright. We'll stay." She heard them said yes excitedly yet quietly. "Thanks."
Iggy smiled. "It's not a problem. There are two extra bedrooms in the hall. One across from this room and one right next to that room." He yawned a bit. "Anyways, good night. See you in the morning." He laughed. "Nah…Hear you in the morning. That's better."
They giggled a bit then left his room. Max was starting to like this Iggy person.
Woo… I finished this in like… thirty-five minutes. NEW RECORD. Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed it. I think I made them a bit OOC. Oh well. Thanks for reading and please review. I'll update as soon as I can. Until then, remember this.
If you believe, you'll succeed…But if you believe too much, you'll fail miserably.
Review!
