AN: okay, you might want to read the Maximum Ride series before you read this because I don't really feel like explaining all of it.
Flying. There was nothing like it: the wind rushing through your hair, the warm sunlight on your back, the thought that when you land you might potentially get captured and/ or attacked at any moment.
But I tried to keep that thought from my mind. I tried to enjoy being here with Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge, Angel, and Fang. We flew (yeah, you heard me! We flew.) in peace and quiet until Angel, fluttering with her small white wings, moaned.
"Max, I'm starving!" she complained.
"Alright, we can stop when we get to London," I assured her. We were going to London to meet the queen of England. She wanted to meet us! I didn't really get it and I didn't really care for it, but the others did. So, you know, whatever makes them happy. Plus, it's harder to find us if we're in a big crowd.
I felt someone's eyes on me. I looked at Fang. He was wearing his usual black attire that matched his hair, eyes, and wings. He had a slight smile on his face. We had been a couple (I guess you could call it that, but it sounded so cheesy!) since we left Hawaii. I smiled back.
Then Nudge gasped. Fang and I looked in her direction. She was straining her eyes to see a small figure advancing in the distance. It was going way to fast to be a bird.
"I hear it- it doesn't sound mechanic like Flyboys or M-Geeks. And it doesn't sound as awkward as flying Erasers. Plus… you know…. they're all supposed to be dead," Iggy confirmed. Since Iggy was blind, he had an advanced sense of sound. That's how he could hear the thing in the distance.
"Guys, hang back. Fang and I will handle this. It doesn't look like anything we can't beat the crap out of," I said. The flock flew in the other direction as Fang and I advanced to confront whatever was speeding towards us.
Eventually we could tell what the figure was. It was one of us- a human avian hybrid. He looked about our age and he had a determined look on his face. His eyes were locked on mine. For some reason, I didn't feel threatened. I felt like he was looking into my soul and I felt kinda calm.
…………………….…………………Fang's POV………………………………………
I looked between Max and this other guy who was coming towards us, confused. Max seemed totally unconcerned. In fact, she looked kind of calm. The boy got closer and I could tell he was gonna collide with Max and she didn't look like she was gonna move.
I quickly got between them and tensed, getting ready for the blow. He didn't slow down. He pushed me aside easily even though I tried to fight him off.
He grabbed the confused Max by the waist and held her in his big arms. I watched in horror as he folded in his wings and fell right as a bullet whizzed by them. Whoa, where had that come from? I looked for the shooter, but couldn't see anyone.
This new guy was now holding Max in a fireman carry and he set her on the ground carefully, looking like Superman. Ugh, it made me sick.
So what did you think? Review because I want to know if it's worth continuing!
