Sorry it's been so long! my computer crashed, but yeah so i hope you like it!
The trees seemed to grow denser as I hopefully followed Dylan's trail. He had been gone for 10 minutes now I was getting worried, what the heck was taking that boy so stinking long. I looked up to the sky to see that not only was the forest thicker but that the sky was getting darker, how the world loved messing with me. I jumped up trying to get back into the air, but even if I had, had the energy the forest was just too thick. I made it 20 feet off the ground before I had to take a break up in a tree. I heard a voice off to my right and stupid me I followed it. I jumped from tree to tree, my wings pulled tight against my back.
"Do you think we are far enough away?" I heard the voice and knew before I even saw them, they were Erasers.
"Why does it matter we have him! Nothing can stand in our way now!" A different, more prideful voice responded. From what I could tell from the distance I was at, was that there were two fur-balls and someone else. I try to move closer without making a sound hoping they wouldn't hear me.
"Yeah, Maximum Ride won't dare to mess with us when she sees who we have!" They kept talk as my heart skipped beats wondering who they had and why it would give me trouble. I was now close enough to see that the two erasers were standing by a brown feed bag that was breathing. I had never seen them before and it was worrying me about who the he in the bag was, but either way when I saw that bag breathing, I knew what I was going to do.
"Alright you wait here while I go get some fire wood, ok Rufus?" The one without pride in his voice said as the other guy just gave a bleak nod and lay down next to the brown bag. The less prideful one was gone for a good three minutes before I finally got down from my tree to attack the Eraser.
"WOW, Rufus?" The guy flipped around trying to pen point the location from my voice was coming to come.
"What kind of name is that, it sounds like you puked up crap on yourself?" I jumped down from the tree I was in and landed right next to the brown bag.
"BRAT! I'll get you now!" Rufus yelled as he ran toward me, he didn't change. I kicked him in the face a then threw a jab at his stomach. When I looked at the job I had done, I found a grown man on his side, crying.
"WOW, you are a baby. Now that we had that fun little talk I'll be going now and I'll be taking this bag off your hands as well." I walked over to the bag, picked it up (man this bag weighs a ton!) and went over to their food supply, grabbed enough to get me home and took off not even caring that the baby-man had run off into the woods for his friend.
I got 100 yards away before the bag became too much for me, in my not-having-enough-food-state. I went down to a small cave up off the side of a cliff and set the bag down.
"Alright you can get out now, it's all safe." I said to the bag, hoping someone I trusted, loved, and that was a complete jerk for leaving me would pop out of the bag, but he didn't, neither did anything else.
"COME ON! Get out already!" I pulled at the ropes that held the bad closed, untied them and opened the bag to see two things. One, it wasn't Fang and two; it was a boy, my age wearing a dirty, plaid, farmers jacket and holey, faded jeans. He was also in a drugged sleep.
"Oh dear." I said as I looked up to the sky, why did it always have to be me. I looked over at the boy he had nice chocolate brown hair and a nice form, with muscular arms and legs, but a soft face that seemed to welcome the whole world. I sat down beside this angel-kid waiting for him to wake up.
A groan came from the boy about two hours later (Where is Dylan?), I looked over to see his eyes flutter open.
"Well finally, Sleeping Beauty, I thought you were going to sleep forever." I joked as he finally sat up and looked around.
"I really don't feel good." His voice sounded like a stream of water, so soft and calm.
"That was probably the drugs they gave you when they put you in that stupid bag." I glared at the bag. Who could put someone so sweet sounding and looking, in a bag like that! I mean that's even low for them and I've seen pretty low.
"Wait!" the boy looked over at me and moved a few steps back from me, "Who are you then?"
"Oh, well kind of thought you knew that; I'm Maximum, Maximum Ride, but everyone just calls me Max for short." I said while standing up, I got the whole James Bond feeling, but I felt super stupid for trusting this guy I mean, come on, hadn't I just been betrayed by the boy of my dreams and now I am trusting this kid I had never met, with my name.
"OK, well thanks for whatever you did, but I got to be going now." He walked over to the opening of the cave and saw, well nothing; it was really dark by this time.
"You can't get out that way you'll just have to wait till I feel up to getting us out of here." I leaned against the wall of the cave; ad looked over at the boy to see a smirk on his face.
"Oh yeah, well just watch me." With that two brown wings the color of his hair shot out of his back and he jumped out of the cave; off the side of a cliff. He is one of us, I realized as my eyes went from their normal size to the size of the meal I planned on eating when I got home. The boy I had saved, the boy I had waited to wake up for two whole hours, was special. He was just like us, like me, a winged-human.
Well what did you think! (Little disclamer, i do not own anything in this story, but angel-boy, Rufus, and the sotyr line otherwise it all belongs to James Patterson)
