Disclaimer: Still don't own it. (still crying) Think I can buy it from JP???
Max POV
I woke up with a pounding headache and a throbbing arm. I didn't want to move, it hurt so much. Wait a minute. Me, Maximum Ride complaining of a sore arm and head? Whoa. I must've whacked my head harder than I thought.
Max, are you all right? Cried Angel in my head. I clenched my teeth together in an attempt to stop the fresh pain shooting through my skull.
I was. If you have to talk to me come into the room and use you mouth, not your brain.
"Okay Max." She walked right on in from the open doorway of my room. I noticed Gazzy also at the door, talking to Iggy, who passed something back to a little brown haired girl, Nudge. Angel called out to them. "Come on in guys, she's awake."
I flock minus Fang walked in, Nudge talking non-stop about how happy she is I'm awake, Iggy looking at me trying to hear if I was okay, and Gazzy talking in hushed tones to Angel.
"Iggy I'm fine, just working on easing the pain in my brain," I said, looking at him. His faced showed relief, but his sightless eyes held something else, something I couldn't quite place. "Nudge quit talking about nothing. I'm all right so no need to worry. Gasser, Angel honey what are you talking about?" I propped myself up on my arms, wincing at the pain in my left one. I could see a long jagged purple scar running from the back of my shoulder to the inside of my wrist.
"That healed well," I said. I looked back at my flock. Something was up with them. "Okay just spit it out what happened!"
Fang POV
I got back to the house around 4 in the afternoon. I looked around for Dr. M, to see if she had the surprise for Max. She took Ella and the flock to the mall to get something for her, kinda as a double whammy present.
"Angel? Where are you sweetie?" I heard Max call from upstairs.
"She's not here!" I yelled up. I heard feet come downstairs slowly, and into the kitchen, where I was playing Mr. Innocent and making a couple of sandwiches for both of us. "Sleep well?"
"For the most part. I had the weirdest dream though. Then Angel woke me up. When'd you get here?"
"I few minutes ago. Hungry?" I nodded towards the 2 sandwiches already made. She hopped up onto the counter, beside me, grabbing the sandwiches and staring at me as she ate.
"You guys are hiding something from me. What is it?" she demanded.
"Nothing that concerns you. You were asleep, so we figured it was best to leave you be."
"How long did I sleep for?" The half eaten sandwich was in her hands, halfway between her mouth and the plate.
"A few days," I replied, waiting for the sandwich to be flung at my head.
"Oh."
"How's your arm?" I asked, unnerved by her behaviour.
"Sore." Came the distracted reply. "Very sore. It's healed though."
I stopped making the 6th sandwich and turned to face her. "What's wrong?"
Max POV
I stopped making the 6th sandwich and turned to face her. "What's wrong?"
I didn't hear Fang. I didn't see him when he stood directly in front of me. My eyes were fixed on the moving van next door. Was that ARI I had seen coming out of the house?
"Max!" Fang was shaking me, making me blink.
"Ari. Next door. Moving van." I stammered.
"What?" Fang spun around, and stalked over to the window. He turned around slowly, his face pale. "Call your mom. She'll want to know about this."
"No." I hopped off the counter and walked towards him. "Let them stay wherever they are, we'll go get them out of here. Where are they?"
"Mall," he said. "What if Ari sees?"
Take to the woods Max, and circle back.
I winced, and put a hand to my head. Fang put a hand on my shoulder.
Voice, or Jeb, whichever you choose, long time no talk to and annoy me! Where'd you go after you left? Back to Itex? I sneered.
