Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride, or the characters. Nor do I own Google, I don't know if I need to put that because I put the word Google in my author's note, so yeah, maybe now we'll be all good...?
Iggy POV:I sat in my room that night in shock. It had been a day since Fang and Max had left. We were already falling apart, and the only person who could really be a leader was a creepy eight year old mind-controller. I couldn't do it for obvious reasons, no one trusted Dylan, Gazzy was too young, and nothing would ever get accomplished with Nudge as the leader.
I was Fang's best guy friend, and he hadn't even hinted at leaving to me. In fact, he had asked me if I thought Max would hate him if he proposed to her at some point in time. Not necessarily now, since they are both fifteen, but sometime in the near future, he had said. How do you go from loving so much you want to marry them to leaving them?
Fang's POV:
After my slight breakdown of crying-yes, even the most un-emotional guy in the world cries sometimes-over Max and how stupid I'd been, I decided I needed to rest and re-feul if I was going to accomplish anything. So I ate and found a place to rest for the night in a tree.
-the next morning-
After I woke up, I was disappointed, because I dreamed Max was here with me, and instead of me making a stupid decision and leaving her, Max and I were 18, and we had gotten married and were on our honeymoon.
The only reason I had always wanted to wait until we were both 18 is because then neither of us would need legal consent. I jumped down from the branch I had slept on and picked up a sharp, pointy rock.
Being a stupid lovesick emo kid, I carved M+F FOREVER into the base of the tree. I sighed, staring at it, and then got an idea. I carved M, IF YOU READ THIS, FNICK WANTS YOU TO COME HOME, HE'LL BE WAITING. I didn't want to put her full name, or my real name because for some reason I figured that would get us attacked somehow. And, I knew she would know me by Fnick. (a/n: cuz fnick is awesome.) When I was done perfecting it, I decided to get going again.
Don't worry, Max... I'm coming.
Max POV:
I woke up the next morning, realizing I must of fell asleep in this field. I slowly sat up and curled myself into a ball, sobbing once again. Why did he leave me? And then it hit me...The realization that he left me because he doesn't love me anymore, and he probably never did. He was just using me, and for what I didn't know. I hated myself. I had wasted nearly my entire life loving that idiot, and he had left me. Damn him, and his cute emo charm. Maybe Dylan wasn't a bad idea after all...
Fang POV:
I had been flying now for hours, and I wasn't tired yet. Maybe the fact that I knew I would find my true love once again was helping. I knew I had to get to Max, before everything went even more wrong.
Angel POV:I lay in my bed that night awake, everyone else besides Dylan asleep. I decided to listen in on his mind, because I was bored and had nothing better to do, because I couldn't fall asleep.
My plan is already working... They are falling apart. And with Max gone, now would be the perfect time to strike...I gasped.
Tomorrow I will strike.
Then his thoughts went to Max-and let me tell you, they were not innocent thoughts-so I tuned him out. I knew I had to do something before Dylan did whatever he was planning.
I waited until he was asleep and then I sneaked (a/n: snuck? Sorry, I'm bad with past tense) into Iggy's room and gently shook him.
"Wha-?"
"Iggy, Dylan's planning some sort of attack for tomorrow. We have to get out of here."
"How do you kno- Oh yeah, mind reading."
"Duh. What are we gonna do?"
"Your gonna go get all the money you can find, and I'm gonna wake up the others."
I nodded at him and quickly went to where we hid our money, and gathered up the money I had hid from the others that I kept for emergency situations. Then Iggy walked into the living room, where I was, with Gazzy, Nudge, Total, and Akila*, who was in a large backpack that would make it easier for flying with her.
I motioned for them to follow me, and we all walked onto the balcony silently. Iggy took off first, then Nudge, then Gazzy, then me, then Total. We all flew away as quickly as we could, hoping Dylan wouldn't notice our absence until the morning, therefore giving us a big headstart.
I had no clue where we were going, but we would finally be away from Dylan, and that's all that mattered.
Well, actually that's not true. Finding Max and Fang was important, and although I was mad as hell about both of them leaving, I knew we needed them. I knew that if we were attacked right now we would be screwed. We didn't have either one of our best fighters. We might as well be dead without them.
A/N: Please review, it means the world to me when you do. & Same with subscribing. :) Okay, I'm so sorry about the short chapters, I promise they will get longer and less POV-switching, haha. Okay, so yeah. Please review! :)*Ok, so I'm ashamed to say: I can't remember her name definitely, and I can't find it on Google.
PLEASE REVIEW! FNICK WANTS YOU TO! hahahhaahaha.
