Anyway, read on fellow adventurers and see what will happen to Max, and Tracker.
Chapter 2
(Two months later)
After two months of intensive training I sat curled up in the corner of a transportation crate, going over what I'd learnt. I knew the last known whereabouts of the Flock, and where they seemed to go a lot. I knew all of their powers, and weaknesses, and their fighting stile. With all of this information I was sure I couldn't loose against them.
I was pulled from my thoughts by the sound of the back of the truck being opened. There was no point moving from where I was so I stayed still as the men in coats lifted my crate out of the truck and placed it on the ground. I sat in my corner, listening as they set up some sort of equipment until one of them opened the crate door. The man who opened the door jumped back as soon as the door was opened, and I knew this was my queue to get up and fly away.
I didn't more for a minute or two, I didn't want the men in coats to think I really understood what was happening, acting stupid had kept me alive this long hadn't it? Why change now? After another minute one the men placed an apple just outside the crate door, typical the food lure. I sighed to myself then slowly crept out of the crate and picked up the apple cautiously, examining it carefully, decided it was safe to eat and bit into it. As I did so I glanced up and saw the equipment they'd set up, one of the items was a giant screen that showed six human silhouettes with wings and a large red cross over them. I knew what that meant, it was suppose to tell me that it was time to go after my pray, the flock, but it wasn't necessary.
I pretended to examine the screen carefully for a moment before quickly getting to my feet and running towards the cliff where I'd fist taken flight. I'd been here several times since my first flight two months ago and now taking off was no hassle. When I reached the edge of the cliff I threw myself off of it. I let myself fall a meter or two before quickly unfurling my wings. With two strong beats of my wings I rose high into the air and started making my way away from the cliff. I was eager to get this hunt started, my internal navigation would allow me to find the where the flock may be, and once I was in the right area my sense of smell would lead me right to them.
I took another bite of the apple while pondering all the different ways I'd kill my pray when I found them. Then with a jolt I suddenly realised something I hadn't thought about before. How was I going to get food? I looked down at the apple and silently prayed that this would not be the last piece of food I ever ate. I hated apples.
Max
Max stood at the top of the apartment building and took a deep breath of fresh air. Ok maybe it wasn't exactly fresh because of the city pollution and all, but it was outside air all the same and still had a sense of freedom about it. The flock hadn't moved for a while now, and that was starting to stress Max out. Sure she was able to spend quality time with her mum and Ella, but ever time the stayed in one place for any period of time bad things happened.
Max heard someone come through the door leading to the roof and turned to see Fang standing there.
"You ok?" he asked walking over to her and sitting down next to her,
"I'm not sure." Max replied looking at her hands, Fang put his arm around her and held her close,
"You think we should move?" he said, as usual he could pretty much read Max's mind,
"Yeah, I keep thinking something bad is going to happen."
"The rest of the Flock won't want to move, but you're probably right. Staying one place doesn't seem to work for us." Fang said, resting his head on Max's, "We'll leave tomorrow, give the other's a little time to get ready. We aren't in any rush yet."
"Thanks." Max said grateful that Fang understood her unexplained eagre to get the hell moving again. She looked up at Fang and smiled at him, and he placed his figure under her chin and went to kiss her, and BANG "ow!"!! The two were pulled from their perfect moment by the sound of someone throwing the door open. It was the rest of the Flock. Gazzy was lying on the ground sort of half in the door half out and the other three were crowding around the opening looking guilty.
"What are you doing here?!" Max cried,
"We were…um…trying to find Gazzy?" Iggy said sheepishly,
"You were spying on us weren't you?!" Max exclaimed getting really annoyed,
"It was Angel's idea!" Gazzy yelled defensively as he picked himself off the ground,
"Oh, you two are so cute together!" Nudge exclaimed happily, Max felt her face grow hot, and noticed Fang looking uncomfortable.
"What the heck do you want?" Max asked trying to keep her anger at bay,
"Well we came to tell you that we were heading to the movies, but then we saw you two and we didn't want to…" Nudge started, Max cut in,
"I know exactly what you were trying to see. What's this about the movies?"
"You're mum suggested that we go see a film. Can me Max? Please! I've never been to an actual movie theatre before." Angle begged, Max sighed,
"What movie?" Max asked, all four of their faces lit up,
"It's an anime! Something to do with this thing called Alchemy. It's based in…" Gazzy went on as everyone started to file down the stairs again, Max glanced over at Fang and wished that the rest of the Flock had waited just a second or two longer before interrupting them. She sighed aloud,
"The movies it is." She said as cheerfully as she could, and with the realest smile she could muster. Something was going to go wrong she could just tell.
And that's the end of Chapter 2. Hope u enjoyed it.
Next time the Flock goes to the movies! and Tracker finds something to eat.
Thanx, Peanut.
