AU: So I was gonna keep it as a one-shot but I was convinced to make it into a two-shot by ParallelWonderland (Check her/him out!) so here's the other half I guess. Basically it's about when Max wakes up from being branded. Enjoy!
(Fang P.O.V)
My throat was raw and my voice was hoarse from all the yelling I had done. I had long since shut up and now I was just staring at Max waiting for her to wake back up. Jeb, Angel and the Whitecoats had gone away minutes after they were done with Max. Some of them were even smiling, those stupid bastards. I couldn't tell how long she had been out but it seemed like ages. Nudge and Gazzy still had tears in there eyes and every once in awhile one of them would murmur Max's name. Iggy was silent and watchful like me but you could tell he was barely holding it together from all the suspense.
My thoughts were cut short though as I saw the smallest of movement from Max which was then followed by a load groan. Seconds later she opened her beautiful brown eyes, but you could still see the pain in her eyes. As she moved her head in the direction of Iggy and me, a single tear slid down her cheek.
(Max P.O.V)
All I could see was blackness, I heard nothing, smelt nothing, and if you can guess I felt nothing. No actually that's a lie I felt like shit. I mean how would you feel after being branded like some animal? Yea that's what I thought. I stayed still and kept my eyes close until after getting a feel of what was going on. For one my side felt like it was on fire which totally sucked. I could hear Gazzy and Nudge sniffling on my left but I heard nothing from the right. It was the side Fang and Iggy were on, so it wasn't surprising that I heard nothing. I moved the tiniest inch and immediately regretted it as pain flared up on my side. I groaned loudly and moved my head so I was facing Fang and Iggy. As I looked at Fang I felt a single tear roll down my cheek.
"Hey," I said quietly. My voice was hoarse from all the screaming I had done but the effect it had was instant as I heard 3 voices say my name simultaneously.
"Max are you o-okay?" Gazzy said. I could tell he was trying to be strong, I mentally smiled at this. He was my little trooper and I was glad for that. I turned my head towards his voice and gave a weak smile after wincing from the movement.
"I'm alright Gazzy, don't worry." I said gently. He gave me a dazzling smile which I returned as best as I could. I was still in a shit ton of pain but I didn't need him to worry about me. Next my eyes zeroed in on Nudge who I could tell was having a real hard time of being quiet, that's her my little motor mouth. But of course she couldn't keep quiet forever.
"OMG Max I thought you weren't gonna make it! You looked like you were in so much pain and they wouldn't stop it. I kept yelling at them to stop but they wouldn't! I swear when I get out here I'm gonna hunt down all of them and make them watch while I beat the living crap outa them! How could they be so mean, I mean BRANDING someone! Seriously did they like forget to take there crazy pills or something?" Surprisingly it looked like she said all of that in just one breath.
"Nudge" I said gently to stop her from going into her next mile long rant. "Don't worry I'm fine. I'm Maximum Ride remember? I can take it." I smiled gently at her and watched as she nodded her head and gave me a smile back. Next I slowly turned my head back to face Iggy and Fang. I winced again form the movement but tried not to let it show, unfortunately I Fang saw and it looked like his eyes turned a shade darker for a second before it passed. Fang looked at me with a complete unguarded expression of worry. I gave him a weaker smile than what I gave to Gazzy and Nudge because he would understand.
"Max are you okay?" Iggy decided to finally speak up. I looked at him seeing his pale blue eyes and if possible paler skin.
"Yea Iggy I'm alright."
"Bullshit" was his answer to that. "You were just branded, now seriously how do you feel?" he asked for the second time.
I sighed, "Honestly Iggy I feel like shit" I said quietly so Gazzy and Nudge wouldn't hear and start worrying again. "I was just branded how do you think I feel?"
"I don't know you tell us," was his genius answer.
"Fine, I feel like total shit. It feels like I was just run over by a damn train and after that I was thrown into a frickin fire. That's how I feel, happy now?" Iggy grinned. He frickin grinned! I was just about to give him the bitching of a life time but his next words stopped me.
"Yes, actually cuz now you sound like Maximum Ride."
I couldn't help it. I gave him a small grin back at that comment. "Jee thanks Iggy" I said sarcastically. As an after thought I added, "I'm grinning Iggy." His grin widened.
My eyes swept over to Fang. His guarded look was back up but I could still see the worry all over his face. I gave him a small nod which he returned with one of his own. Sighing loudly I rested my head back onto my "bed" and laid still for a moment. "How long have I been out?" I finally asked.
"About 3 hours" Iggy answered.
"Damn didn't think I'd be out that long. Whatever not like I can change that. Okay so first things first we gotta get the hell outa here no matter what. Got it?" I said with a tone full of authority. Everyone nodded there heads and I sighed again. "Alright let's get to it."
AU: Okay so here's chapter 2. (Obviously) Like? Or Dislike? Anyways last question, should I continue my story or keep it a two-shot? Review and tell me! Please and Thanks! Later.
