"Max, can I get a cat?" Angel asked me for the hundredth time that night.
"No Angel. You have a dog and he's already too much to carry," I said, pointing to Total.
"Hey! I'm not just a dog, I'm a dog that talks!" Total barked at me. Total hates being called just a 'dog'.
"Fine, an abnormal dog," I say as I roll my eye's.
"Max, I'm tired. When are we going to land? We've been fling for hours! Are we going to find food too? Because I am Hun-GER-y! Max, when are we----," Nudge the motor mouth would never shut-up. She has never been quiet for at least two minutes.
"O.K. Nudge. Can you be quiet for a minute? I am trying to see if there is any near by towns," I said looking at her big brown eyes then turning away. "Everyone keep an eye out for a good place to land."
Us, winged freaks, have raptor vision which comes in handy when were tired and trying to find somewhere to land. The only time our raptor eyesight hasn't come in handy is when Angel was taken by Erasers and we had to watch for a long time taking her away in a helicopter. They took her to the school were they tested her, hurt her, and were Jeb was.
I look at Angel to make sure shes ok----
What is that smell?!? Geez! I nearly fall out of the sky. Gazzy and Iggy are laughing their heads off.
"Geez! Light a match!" Nudge says as she plugs her noise and holds her stomache.
"Gazzy! Was that you?" I asked as I choke on some of his toxic fumes. Gazzy falls about 10 feet when I look at him falling a bit, I see the ground below shaking, tree's moving.
I look at the Flock to see if they see what I see. Fang looks at me with wide eye's. I can tell if he's wondering if we should stay or run since we all are tired from the flyboys earlier today.
Fly! Fly Max! My voice that's been there in my head forever.
"When need to get going! Angel, Gazzy, Iggy, Nudge, Fang! Come on!" I turn to the flock and Fangs gone. What the hell?!? Where's Fang and Angel?
I look down to see Fang soaring down with Angel. Then, I see the hundreds of Flyboys and helicopters coming up out of the woods. I bet there still trying to concentrate on flying and fighting at the same time.
"I guess its fight over flight guys! Come on Gazzy and Iggy!" I yell.
I start dropping. I take in wings and start going strait downward. Going over 250 mph is a seriously killer rush. Well, not killer, but you know what I mean.
I start spreading out my wings, trying to slow down and kick up my feet so I can kick one of the Flyboys right in the head and blow it up.
"BOOM!!" chunks of Flyboy fly everywhere.
Max! Look behind you! Angel sends me a telepathic message. I turn, but its too late, a Flyboy grabs me.
"Let. Go of. Me!" I kick the thing in the stupid ankle and it lets go of me for one second, which gives me enough time to turn around and slug him in the nose.
"That's what you get for messing with Maximum Ride!" I yell as I punch the crap out of the closest Flyboy. I start threatening the Flyboys when they all just stop, but there wings are still moving. It looks like there in some sort of trance. Then they just turn around and start flying away. I just fly there and wonder why they are leaving.
I look the other way, seeing if the flock is alright.
"Report?" I yell to the flock, looking around wondering if the Flyboys are just trying to trick us.
"Fine, just a couple of bruises," Nudge replies, sounding tired.
"Just a bloody noise and small cuts," Gazzy says
"I have a big cut on my knee and Total's fine. I hid him in a tree," Angel says as she gives Total a little smirk.
"I'm fine," says Iggy.
"Fang?" I look around to see him right behind me. "Oh, geez you scared me! Are you alright?" I am always worried about him know after a big battle because of what happened on the beach. I look at him. He has a huge cut that nearly goes from his nose to chin.
"Feel like a million bucks. So, what the hell happened back there? They just froze and flew off?" Fang asks me.
"I really don't know what happed. I just don't know." I tell him, still wondering what the hello happed.
"Max?" Angel calls me.
"Ya sweetie?" I turn to Angel.
"I think I know what happed."
