Sorry, but this has been stuck in my head for a couple of years now, and I finally found the notebook it was encased in :D

Hope you guys enjoy this story :D

I do not own anything that is familiar to Maximum Ride; that belongs to the author. I only own the plot and the OCs.

Shadow's Whispers of Nightmares

Nightmare Two

Down

It was quiet; the most silence that has ever been in my life, from the moment memories flooded my head, to the moment I shut my eyes to luring darkness.

'They will help you, child. Awaken, child, awaken.' Her voice faded off into my mind. I shot my eyes open, gasping and slightly jumping from the surprise of her voice. I looked around wildly for a minute, seeing slightly blury shapes take form into kids somewhere my age or younger.

One had long black hair and dark foreboding eyes, making him seem paler than was possible. The girl beside him had orange-ish hair that went to her shoulders and steely green eyes overflowing with concern. There was a little girl beside her with blond hair and bright blue eyes, hugging a white dog in her arms. A little boy was sitting beside her, he also had blond hair, but green eyes instead. They must be brother and sister.

"Hey, she's awake!" The voice led me over to my left to a girl who was tan with big brown eyes and pretty golden hair up in a ponytail. I felt another pair of foreign eyes on me to my right. I looked over to see a boy around my age with mussed up orange hair and dulled out blue eyes. He was carefully bandaging my arms.

"Hey, are you okay?" i looked in front of me, seeing the taller girl was the one speaking. I nodded my head in confirmation. She sighed. "Well, that's good. Can you tell us who you are?" I didn't know how to answer that question; I don't even know if I could answer it at all.

The little blond girl suddenly caught my eye. It seemed like she was concentrating on something... Then a single light brush was sent against my mind. I widened my eyes. She was telepathic, the telepathic that they were searching for.

Blue wispy forms started to fill in the room, heading straight for the little girl. I froze, but then grew angry. "Get back." I growled. Everyone and everything stopped.

'Is she hurting you?' A little blue wispy girl form floated over everything and over to me, holding a little wispy teddy bear. I shook my head no. She paused then disappeared, as did everyone that came with her.

"Please don't do that." I whispered. The little girl widened her eyes. "If you wanted to know, I would've told you, but you must understand," I stared her straight in the eyes. "There are those who will protect me if it comes down to it, and they thought you were a threat that needed to be dealt with." I opened my mind to her then. "I give permission, but please do not delve too deeply." Everyone was shocked and I felt anger rise in the room. The little girl crawled up on the bed and sat down on my feet, searching for my name.

"You have no name?" She was surprised at that.

'Does everyone have to have a name?' She nodded her head. I sighed. "I was only called Experiment-013, as it was in the profiles that I found. But no, I am not a threat, not to you, at least."

She brightened up at that. She trusts me, which I think is a good thing. "My name is Angel." I suddenly saw bright wispy wings come from her back. All around the room, my eyes saw wings come from everyone's back. I was surprised, to say in the least.

"Wings?" I whispered. Angel went on as though she didn't hear me.

"This is my brother, Gazzy. Max is the pretty girl here and Fang is right beside her. The girl next to you is Nudge. The guy who's bandaging your wounds is Iggy." I looked around, giving the name to a face.

"It is nice to meet you all." I whispered. Were these the people that she thought would help me? I do not know, since it seemed like Fang wanted to kill me then and there.

"Hey there! It's nice to meet you! Can I name you? What's your favorite color? Where did you come from? Do you like it here?" I widened my eyes, seeing as how Nudge was talking a mile a minute without taking a breath. The woman's scary.

"Nudge, calm down!" Max cut into Nudge's little question bregade. I heaved a small sigh, glad to not have to answer all of those questions. I looked over when I felt someone touch my hair, only to see Iggy.

"Is white your real hair color?" He asked. I nodded. He then hesitated before asking, "May I see what you look like?" Oh, he must be the experiment that 'feels' color.

"I would you rather not touch me, please." I whispered. "There are things that I think you shouldn't be able to see, at least, not yet." He frowned, but didn't push it further.

"So how do we know we can trust you?" Max was now suspicious of me. She should be; anyone who is near me practically dies.

"You can't; I will kill you." I answered truthfully. Shocked silence met my reply. Angel was confused.

"You're telling the truth; but how? Do you have something against us or something?" Angel asked in her cute innocent voice.

"I have nothing for revenge, but I will kill you eventually. It won't even matter if it's accidental or not. Now I must leave before it happens." I got up and everyone jumped out of my way. I was sad, but it was the way it had to be.

'Touch Max, my child.' I froze, hearing her voice again, but not in fear, in surprise. "She will die if I touch her; why do you want me to do so?" Tension in the room quickly shot up to new heights, but I wasn't paying attention.

'She needs to know why.' I sighed and nodded. Her presence faded a bit, but it was still there. "Max, I don't know why, but they want you to see them." I turned towards Max. Everyone was crowding around her, protecting her from me.

"Who?" She was confused; it was understandable.

I smiled. "The dead want you to see them."

See? The power isn't even that hard to figure out! But you people still probably don't get it...

Ah, well, who cares!
