I'm new at this I don't know if you put the disclaimer here or what XD, anyway I don't own Maximum Ride, just this plot. Major Fax, don't like don't read, constructive criticism, flames how much you love me, I take it all, lol, hope you enjoy! PS: This is a two-shot
Max what are you up to now? Oh great..Hi Jeb,Father,Traitor, I'm not picky. Max where are you going..What about Itex the hydra remember?
I hate that. Max are you listening to me? No I wasn't talking to him..I can't help but listen. Max? I'm warning you..
"Or what? You'll ground me?!" I said that out loud..Didn't I?
"Max you ok?" the tallest and blind member of our flock asked. "Yeah voice."
I saw the rest of the flock nod and kept flying.
At least the voi..Jeb was gone
Guess where we were headed. If you guessed anything other then the beach you are wrong. I really don't want to go though. Something bad is going to happen. Like the time Fang nearly died. And then the time I nearly died..The beach hates me.
We landed twenty minutes later and they all went into the water. Fang sat under a tree and was typing on his laptop. Where was I might you ask? I was on the highest freaking rock you could find. Actually it was more like a small cliff. I didn't want to set foot on the sand.
I didn't want to be here anyway though. Blame Angel's bambi eyes. And I bet she played with my mind a bit but have no proof. I looked back down and saw Fang wasn't there. I turned around and saw he was behind me.
"What?" I asked turning back to the rest of the flock. Total was doggy paddeling and Nudge and Angel were splashing water at a very annoyed Iggy. "Are you ok?"
He asked… He tends to ask me that question a lot.
"Fine..Just have a slight hatred/fear,whichever you prefer,of beaches."
He chuckled and it made me smile. "Don't worry nothing is going to happen." He told me as he went back to typing on his computer I looked down.
I saw this couple walking on the sand. I was glad the guys were wearing shirts that hid their wings. The woman looked oddly familiar so I was in alert mode. It was weird though. I know I have NEVER seen her before.
"Hey Fang…Have you ever sen her before? She looks familiar."" I said pointing to the woman. "Nope." He said looking back at the screen. Maybe it was me finally going insane.
"Hey what are you two doing up there? Don't you know that's hazardous?"
No why would we know that. I looked down and it was the same mysterious woman.
I jumped down and Fang soon followed. Angel and the rest came over.
Max that's F..Not now Ange. "Is something wrong?" It was that guy she was with.
He was a few inches taller then Iggy's 6'1 height. I'd say about 6'3, 6'4. He looked well built. Probably worked out. She was maybe 29 or 30. I could take both of them alone. "No problems." I glared.
Max..That's Fang's mom. Angel I said not right… "She's Fangs MOM?!" Oops.
Everyone stared at me and I pointed to Angel. "Angel..How do you know?" I was surprised Fang spoke after my little outburst.
Iggy walked up to "Fang's Mom" and touched her hand. "They're almost identical." Fang looked shocked. And yes he actually SHOWED his shock…yes you may gasp along with me.
"Well Fang this is your mom. Fang's mom this is Fang." Angel said like the seven year she now was. Ari… "I thought you said you didn't keep your child." Her boyfriend looked mad. "I didn't..I couldn't..Isaac?"
Ok Isaac? Fang still didn't say anything. "Why don't you come with us to our house." 's mom said. Remember what I said before about bad things happening on beaches?
We reached their house about ten minutes by foot. Glad we didn't have to take a car. "So you're telling me this kid over here." The man said pointing to Fang. "Is your son?"
"That's what they say." 's Mom said..jeezums I wish I knew her real name this was annoying. "Well..I guess he can stay if you want." He didn't sound too happy about that. Though I wasn't either. I don't want to loose anyone again.
Especially not Fang right Max? Again you're back? I kind of liked you before I knew who my little voice was. Max You can't loose anyone. You're going to need their help when you get to your big battle. I was done listening to him. Max. We both know you two were meant for..
"SHUT UP!!" I have to stop doing that. He just really frustrates me.
I looked up. "Sorry." I didn't mean it but it would be weird if I didn't say anything. I left the living room and went upstairs. I was looking around to make sure it looked all clear. I mean his mom seemed nice but I didn't really like her boyfriend.
"Are you ok? You've been acting a little anxious lately."
"Hey Fang..yeah I'm fine..Jeb's just been annoying me again." He nodded and walked up behind me. "She seems nice." "Yeah…So do you think you wanna stay?" I had to know.
"Maybe.I think I want to sleep on it first." "Kay."
We went back downstairs and Angel was talking to Total…WHAT?!
"Is that dog TALKING?" "'s mommy. Yes he is."
" little blonde girl is weirding me out."
"That blonde girl can kick your over muscled ass if she wanted to." I told Fang's mom's boyfriend. "Watch it." Oh I'm scared now…NOT. "Sorry?" I wonder if he realizes I don't mean it?
I heard Angel giggling so I assumed she heard that. "It's pretty late..do you six want to stay the night?" "Please Max?" "Yeah Max can we?" "Yeah please?" Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy asked. This always annoyed me. "Yeah." I barley even finished saying ok before there were shouts of "Yes Thanks Max" and so on.
"We have Three extra rooms upstairs so you'll have to share." Fang's mom said.
"Ok thanks." We all went upstairs. "Ok I think me an…" "Can I stay with Nudge?" Angel asked. I had the feeling they were going somewhere with this. And I hate pranks…
"Ok…" "Can me and Gazzy stay together?" I sighed… Something is DEFINTLEY up… I really hated these guys sometimes. They all went to their rooms.
I was stuck with Fang…I know they're up to something…I might just be reading too much into this though.
Max I don't see why you're complaining.I sighed and tried to ignore him.You can't avoid me Maximum Ride. Oooooh full name I'm shaking now. Please note the sarcasm.I think I heard Jeb sigh and then didn't answer back. I really wish he'd leave me the hell alone. And I really hope Angel isn't listening to this.
The next morning everyone was showered. It felt really nice to get all the grit and whatever else was on me off.
Fang seemed a little off. I guess that wasn't too hard to guess at though. I'd be quiet too if I were him. Er…quieter
"So do you want to stay with us?" She asked Fang.
He didn't say anything for a good ten minutes. Probably thinking about it.
"Yeah." He said it so quietly we almost didn't hear him. But we have suped up senses. I don't think she heard him because she asked him to "say that again".
"Yeah." His mom ran up to him and hugged him. I didn't know wether to cry or be happy.
"We have to go but we should still be near the area for a few days to a week in case anything happens." Iggy told him. I couldn't speak right now. I was happy for him. But I missed him already.
Everyone said their good bye's and now it was my turn. "Remember we're there if you need us." I told him truthfully on the verge of tears. "Always" He whispered and then I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried. I couldn't lose him. He was my right hand man. But I knew I had to let him stay.
"See yah." I waved back. It was a thing we had. Don't say good-bye because it's too finalized. I went in front of everyone and we took off.
I was happy for him. His mom seemed really nice. She looked like him too. She had his dark hair and eyes. The only difference was that she was a bit darker like she just got over a sunburn or something.
We got a few miles away into a cave nearby. I saw everyone upset and crying. Angel walked up to me and sobbed into my shoulder.
"Its ok sweetie we'll see him again soon." I told her.
"I know." She sniffed. I told her to go to bed and sat down by the edge of the cave watching the birds fly by and around the bright sun. It was one of those things anyone can apreciate..even non-mutant bird kids.
"Are you ok?" I turned around and saw Iggy sit down next to me.
"Yeah." "It seems quiet without him." Iggy said. It was true. No matter how little Fang spoke…it did seem quieter. "Yeah you're right." I told him. He was staring straight at the sun. Sometimes I totally forget Iggy's blind unless he reminds us. Or in cases like this looks at things most people can't.
I told everyone that they should go to sleep. It was getting dark and we needed to go to a different cave tomorrow so no one finds us.
A Week Later…
I woke up and it was sunny and bright. I thought it was kind of odd considering how crappy I felt. It's been like this all week.
Yes The Maximum Ride was still upset. Yes I missed Fang. Yes I wish he hadn't gone. Yes I know he needed to stay with her . I really hope he's ok though.
Max I told you not to let him go. He might not come back. I held back tears knowing that could very well be true.
If you're wondering. We right now are in the middle of the forest. A few miles farther then where Fang was. We all were each in our own little tree. I was comfortably resting on a tree branch with my back to the trunk when I heard a rustling down below.
"You hear that?" I whispered it so softly that only Iggy could hear..and maybe Total. He nodded and pointed upward. I whispered OK and got ready to pounce whoever it was. I saw a head pop out of one of the tall bushes and jumped down aiming a kick to his chest. I then pinned him with my legs and arms on either side of them and poised my fist to punch him when…
"Fang?!" "Good to see you too." "Oh my gosh!" I said shocked "Well this is a compromising position." I rolled my eyes and hugged him.
I heard Gazzy and Nudge tell Iggy it was Fang and they all rushed down. And we all started hugging each other. It was basically a big mush fest.
Everyone was asking questions saying how much they missed him etcetera. I was wondering why he was here.
So that night when everyone went to sleep I attacked Fang. Not literaly of course.
"What happened?" I asked. "It's a long story. Jason was basically a jerk…" "My mom's husband..My stepfather." He added seeing the confused look on my face. I hugged him again. "Sorry." "It's ok." He whispered hugging me back. When we let go he brushed his hair away from his eyes for a second in a very Fangish manor and caught a glimpse of purple.
I gasped slightly and brushed his hair behind his ear. "What happened? She didn't do this did she?" He shook his head no. "My 'stepfather'. My mom tried to stop him but she got hit too. Happened after I told them about my wings. My mom was ok with them but…" I was pretty sure I had a look of pity on my face because the next thing I heard "Not like I didn't give him a good kick in the butt." He said smirking. It seemed to make the moon brighten and made me smile.
"I can't believe he did this." "It's not like it hurts." He said as I gently rubbed my thumb over it and I'm pretty sure he winced. I smirked on the inside knowing he was lying. "Hold on." I told him getting some cold water into a napkin then putting it over his eye to try and get the swelling down.
"When did it happen?" "Two or three days ago." Fang winced as I put some medicine on his eye. "I've been looking for you guys for about as long." I nodded and finished applying the medicine.
"I'm really sorry Fang." I said a little while later. "Don't be." "But I am." I argued
"I know how you can make it up to me." He said a minute or two later. I looked to him and I saw something in his eyes that looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Don't run." He said simply and the next thing I knew his lips crashed onto mine. My heart was racing and my mind was buzzing.
We parted after what seemed like hours. We were both breathing heavily like after that time in the cave. "I won't." I smiled then kissed him back.
"Good." He smiled after we parted again. I rested my head against his shoulder and we fell asleep.
(A/N:And Max finally realizes she loves Fang…Too bad this isn't even the beginning of their long journey. )
