The Hard Life of Maximum Ride.

Chapter Two

The flight was long and tiring. How could I even manage to do this for so long before?! It is times like these that I recognize just how amazing I truly am. Man! I could barely hold back my excitement…. I couldn't wait to see the flock again! I may have hated them before but that doesn't mean that I still hate them now. Fang, I still haven't fully forgiven him….same with Angel, but I would learn wouldn't I? I wonder if they'll even end up wanting me back… I shook my head. I was going to get nowhere with my mind thinking things like that. Heck! Last time I thought like that, I ended up breaking my hand on a concrete wall in the school! Ok max, focus. The voice hadn't been talking to me in weeks, ok maybe a day but it still felt like it had been longer! Why hello there voice long time no see? I tried my best to mentally grin but it wasn't working very well and I eventually gave up. So voice, any idea where I should begin this goose-chase. Or should I say over sized mutant bird chase because that's what it is. The voice, (which I truthfully believe is Jeb) took a little longer that I had anticipated with his reply. Stop where it looks fun Maximum, then you'll know where to go. What was that supposed to mean!? Stop where it looks fun? That old toy store in New York wasn't that much fun, I mean it kind of was, but that's beside the point. Ok, not really. Ok voice; guess I'm headed back to New York. And so began my hunt for the flock.

Fangs P.O.V

Jeez! Where is she?! We, as in the flock and I, have been searching for Max for about a month now and there was still no sign of her. I mean yes, Angel kicked her out of the flock and we were all on board but w it wasn't Max that put us in danger, it was all of us combined! Plus, surviving without Max for me is like trying to live without oxygen…..it's not possible. There had been no sign of Max at the school and Dr. Martinez's house had proved that Max wasn't there either. So where was she!?

"Let's take a break, get something to eat and then we can continue flying!" Angel yelled over the sound of the wind. That girl has been annoying us all ever since Max left, I mean come-on who elected her leader in the first place? "I believe that would be you, Nudge, Gazzy, Iggy, and Total." Angel's voice whispered softly in my head and if we weren't flying dangerously high right now I would so mentally go off on her enough to where her wings would probably close… hey is that an ocean over there? I closed my eyes, trying to imagine where in the world Max could be right now. It was then that a sudden thought struck me, "GUYS! Eat fast and make sure you eat enough because we're flying to Canada. I don't know why I hadn't thought of this earlier. There was another school in Canada yet we had all been stupid enough to over-look it. Max had to be there, if she wasn't who knows what could've happened to her, she could have been abducted, hurt, or even…..dead. I couldn't let myself come to admit that. Max was invincible after all, she was the indestructible Maximum Ride. She had been MY Maximum Ride too until I went and blew it. No worries though, I'm going to get her back. No matter how many people I have to kill along the way, I will get her back. Because if I don't, who knows what could happen.

Max's P.O.V

I crossed the border from what I found out was Canada into Washington. That means only about 27-hours and I should be home-sweet-home. Wherever that Is now. For all I know, mom and Ella could've already moved, all hope lost that I would ever escape. I mean, the flocks already gone and unless I can find a way to contact them or find them, I'm royally screwed. WAIT! Just as I thought of this the most wild thing popped into my head. If I could find a computer, I can leave Fang a message on his blog! What can I say, I'm brilliant, and have a bit of an ego. Guess I better go find that library.

Fangs P.O.V (again)

The hotel we decided on settling at had free Wi-Fi and I must admit I was pretty happy, after all its not every day that I get to update my blog! As I sat on the bed scrolling up and down the screen, I saw something that nearly shredded my heart to pieces…. Could it really be?

FANG!PLEASE READ! ~M

Dear Fang and Flock (or should I say former flock now)

I'm stuck up here in Oregon and can't seem to find my way home. If you can't tell I'm feeling a bit hopeless right now. Anyways, PLEASE come get me, I promise that once you find me and take me home to mom you can leave again. Though I would love it if you would stay with me so we could become a flock again. PLEASE COME FIND ME!

~M

P.S Mention the begging EVER again and I will kill you with my bare hands.

"Everyone up! I know where Max is and we're going to get her!" I opened the door, grabbed my bags and jumped outside, I couldn't wait to see Max again!
