Thanks to those who followed and favorited!
Well, the flock is finally coming in, and a quick reminder is that this is right after FANG.
I DON'T OWN MAXIMUM RIDE!
FLOCK
The Flock was at a motel, about two weeks after Totals wedding.
And it turned out that Fang didn't leave, but instead was kidnapped.
The Erasers had knocked Fang out before he could fight, and use a mimicker to copy his hand writhing to write the letter.
It was a good plan, but the Erasers didn't factor out Nudge. All she did was hold the letter and she felt the evil intent and could get the whole plan that they were going by.
The Flock then went after the Erasers to Kentucky, and got ready to attack. After kicking serious Eraser butt they got Fang and flew to Dr. M's house.
In his time with the Erasers, they had shattered both Fang's left leg and right arm, and it ended out that Fang had to get surgery to fix both. What was strange was his wounds weren't healing as fast as before, only a little faster than human pace.
After the surgery, which was done by Dr. M, the flock spent about a week at her house before they were attacked again. Fang still fought surprising well, considering that he had a plaster cast on his leg and arm.
After kicking Eraser butt, again, they quickly left and now at a motel somewhere in Kansas.
Max dropped the pile of clothes she was holding in her arms on a table in the laundry room that the hotel had and pulled out all the jeans.
Digging in all the pockets Max made sure that nothing was in them.
When she pulled one of Fang's jeans, Max pulled out a small charm on a key chain. It was half of a yin-yang, the black half. Pocketing it, she made a mental note to ask him about that.
*Washing clothes and getting thirty bucks out of Iggy's pants.*
Walking into the room she shared with Fang, Max saw Fang himself lounging on the couch watching TV, his legs propped up on the foot rest with his crutches leaning within reach against the other chair.
Grinning, Max walked over and dumped the warm clothes on to his lap, causing him to grunt and look up at me.
"Well hello to you too," Fang said sarcastically, shifting so he was in a sitting position and grabbing a shirt.
"Hi, how are you feeling," Max said grabbing a pair of jeans.
"Better," He said, flexing his hand. It was in a Black cast with Silver sharpie writing on it from the Flock, Mom and Ella.
Max grabbed another pair of jeans, which were Fang's, and remembered the charm.
"Fang, is this yours?" she asked, fishing the charm out of her pocket.
"Yeah, Jeb gave it to me a while ago, saying that it will lead to family," Fang said, grabbing the charm, and holding it up.
"I wonder what that means." Max wondered, pulling the last shirt off of Fang's lap and folding it.
"MAX!" Iggy yelled, coming in through the door that led to his and Gazzy's room. "You took the thirty dollars didn't you!" Well that explains the thirty dollars from washing clothes.
"Well I got thirty from washing clothes," Max said, grinning and pulling out the money.
"Give me that!" Iggy lunged at her, but Max dodged and he crashed into Fang, who pushed him off, glaring playfully.
"Leave me out of this!" He said, as Iggy got up from his place on the floor.
"That is what happens when you don't empty your pockets!" Max laughed, waving the money in the air.
Just as Iggy lunged at me again, Nudge came in, and Max jumped at the opportunity, "Hey Nudge! Do you want thirty bucks?" she asked, waving the money in out of Iggy's reach.
"Okay! I could use it for some lip gloss and eyeliner!" She quickly stepped over and grabbed the money," OH! Maybe Angel would like to go to the Mall! Is that okay Max? I'm going to ask angel and we can go there and get some makeup. I'm starting to get low on makeup. OMG! Maybe we'll see a hot guy!…" Nudge's voice faded as she went in to her room with Angel.
"NUDGE!" Iggy scrambled up on his feet and ran in to the wall over by the door, standing there for a moment, stunned, before going in to the room next to mine.
Laughing, Max went over to the couch and lifted Fang's chest and head a bit so she could sit down.
Setting Fang's head on her lap, Max played with his hair while they watched TV. A flash of white caught her eye while she was playing with Fang's bangs, trying to keep them out of his face.
"What's this?" Max muttered, shifting though the silky soft black. There was a lock of pure white hair, still silky smooth Fang hair, but white. "How long have you had white hair?" Max asked Fang, patting it down, liking how it looked against the pitch-black bangs.
"The white? I've had that all my life, I just kept it hidden." He replied lifting his cast-ed arm to shift the hair slightly.
"I like it," Max said grabbing Fang's hand so he couldn't bury the white again.
Fang shrugged and swung his legs off the side of the couch, grabbed his crutches and stood, keeping his black encased leg slightly elevated.
Max smiled and followed Fang as he limped over to the bed.
"So what are we going to do now?" he asked, sitting down.
"Hmm I don't know," Max said, pulling the piles of clothes to the pile of backpacks. "I'm on my last non bloody shirt." She added absently, looking down at her current shirt.
"We could go to the mall and get some new clothes then," Fang offered, watching as Max started going through the piles of clothes, pulling out all of the ripped, blood stained, and trashed stuff.
"Yeah, we're all on our last few shirts and things," Max said, putting the few shirts, jeans and other stuff back into the backpacks.
Getting up so she could tell the others, Max went over to Nudges and Angel's room first, and asked, "Do you still want to go to the mall?"
Nudge looked up from her place on Iggy's back, where he was still struggling to get the money, and exclaimed, "YES! YES! YES! Wait, why do you want to go to the mall? I thought you despised it for all eternity."
Max cut her off before she could get started, "I need to get some new shirts because mine are all bloody and torn. We are leaving in ten. Get off Iggy so he can get ready."
Jumping off Iggy and running over to the bathroom, where Angel was currently, Nudge banged on the door yelling, "Angel! We're going to the mall in ten!"
"Alright! I'll be out soon!" a muffled reply sounded from the bathroom.
Iggy jumped up and ran past me through our room and into his and Gazzy's room. Max followed him and told Gazzy, who was also watching TV.
He nodded and Max backed out and shook her head at Iggy's pouting about losing his money, closing both connecting doors, locking them.
Max turned back to the bed, where Fang was sitting, typing something on his laptop, and smiled, giving Fang a small kiss.
Max then sighed, mentally preparing herself for the torture device called the mall.
NATE
"You all just need to fly south for about ten miles, then you'll hit the city. The mall is right there next to the forest," Marcus told Nate, while Vicky handed him a card. Looking at it, Nate raised an eyebrow, recognizing the plastic as a credit card.
"Nicked it from one of the whitecoats, when we escaped," Vicky explained, grinning. "It has a lot of money on it, won't need a signature, and can't be tracked."
Nate gave them a long look, before nodding, and slipping the card into his back pocket.
"You can come back tonight, but that's all that we can let you stay," Marcus said, looping his arm around Vicky. "We'll have some backpacks for you to keep, because you'll be getting enough clothes and have nowhere to put them."
Nate nodded again, before turning and going over to the group, who were all ready to go. The groups quickly took off, and were soon flying up high, keeping an eye on the ground, for the city.
Soon the mall came into view, along with the forest that the group landed in.
Nate landed lightly, folding his white and gray speckled wings, and turning to watch the rest of the group land.
Storm landed and set Mimi down, folding his stormy wings against his back, moving to the side for Chase to land next to them.
Chase stumbled slightly as he landed, before striating out and folding his brown and white streaked wings.
Cali landed last, her fox orange wings folding and pulling on a black 'news boy' hat, to hide her ears. Her tail was tucked away from view.
Nate then nodded to the group and started walking, where it was only a minuet before the mall came into view.
When they came up to the parking lot, Nate took Cali's hand and Storm brushed his arm slightly, Mimi clinging to his hand, Chase on Cali's other side.
Knowing that there was going to be a lot of people there, judging from how many cars there were, Nate sighed, mentally bracing himself for the new experience for almost the entire group.
So, this is a shorter chapter, with a crappy ending...but we finally have the flock with us!
