I know it's taken a while, but I had to write a story for school, so all fanfic writing time turned into school writing time. So not as fun. Also, my parents kept taking my computer away from me. But I have it now! Um, obviously... Hey, do you all remember when life was easier and boys had cooties? Now there's heartbreak, and depression. *sigh*
Thanks for the reviews! MelissaRM, it will all be explained soon, don't worry. She has a reason for not being happy to see the wolves again.
if anyone noticed, yes I did make changes with the first chapter. I wasn't happy with it before.
Oh, and by the way, does anyone know what Claire's last name is?
Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Maximum Ride or Twilight. If I did... I think I'd buy a mouse named George.
Enjoy!
-twi XD
We were at the mall, finding some things we`d need for the trip. Much to my disappointment, I couldn't talk the rest of the flock out of going to Seattle.
Since they didn`t know why I didn`t want to go there, and I wasn`t going to tell them, I didn`t have much of a chance of talking them out of going.
I suppose it wasn't that bad, being in Seattle. Forks and LaPush were about five hours from there, and even though as far as I knew Aunt Kim worked in Seattle, Seattle was big enough that the only way we would cross paths was if I had incredibly bad luck.
Oh, right. I did.
I sighed as Nudge shoved yet another outfit in my arms. We've been here two hours already, and it was completely pointless. Nudge knew we couldn't take much with us. We had one backpack filled with food already, and the others were for our personal belongings. One or two extra sets of clothes, I had a hair brush, toothbrushes, toothpaste, thins like that. And of course, bombs.
Iggy and Gazzy were complete pyros, and they got me into it too. Something Max was so not happy about. Two weeks into my stay with them, I had blown up an abandoned warehouse. Ig and Gaz became my best friends, and partners in crime.
"Angel, no!" ah, Max. Will she never learn that Angel can't be talked out of tutus? I watched in amusement as the two continued to argue in the kid's section of the department store. No, i suppose she won't.
"Hey, I called over to Fang. "The guys almost done?" He was already holding a shopping bag filled with black. Fang gave a small nod, eyes flickering over to the two, then back to Max. I swear, he's creepily obssessed with her. If they weren't dating, I'd say she needed a restraining order.
I looked over to Iggy and the Gasman, Gazzy talking in hushed tones, while Iggy flipped through t-shirts, feeling for ones with colors he liked.
I really wanted out of here. I care about fashion more than say, Max, but there`s a certain limit to time spent shopping, and that limit was about a hour ago. When Nudge turned around to Max, I stuffed half the clothes in my arms onto a shelf, then went over to the check out. Despite Max's refusal, Dr. M. gave us all $50 each to spend. I was glad I could pay by myself now, and then get the hell out of here.
*~* ~*~*~*
"Call as soon as you land," said a teary eyed Dr. Martinez. We were all at the airport getting ready for our flight. I know, planes are kind of pointless, but Dr. M. and Jeb talked us into it, saying how we would blend in more. I guess it won't be to terrible, but none of us were looking forward to it.
"Now, listen you guys," Jeb started, making everyone but me tense. "We've bought you a small house on the outskirts of Seattle, and don't argue about it," he warned, seeing Max open her mouth angerly. "You'll be staying there awhile, you may as well try to do it as legle as possible. And also, we've-" here Dr. M. shot him a dark look. "Uh, I mean, I've signed you all up for school."
Okay, now even I was pissed. I mean, school! How awful is that?
The rest of the flock were all talking at once. Angel, Gazzy and Nudge looked excited, Iggy looked a little pissed, but pretty much uncaring. Max and Fang, on the other wing, looked like smoke should be coming out of their ears.
"What the HELL!" Max screamed at Jeb, who, despite his best effort, had a look of fear in his eyes. "You had absolutely no right to. You don't control our lives Jeb! We make our own decisions! How the hell will school benefit us? It's not like we can ever get a normal job, or live normal lives. We're freaks! I know that I'll never do things that I want to, that a normal girl would do. I've accepted that. You should too!"
And with a cold "See ya," to Dr. M. and Ella, Max stormed on to the plane, which just started letting people on.
We all said our sappy, hug-filled goodbyes, then my flock - my family - got on the plane. I sat down beside Agel, across from Max and Fang. I leaned over the isle to talk to her.
"Hey," I said softly. She turned to me, still looking anoyed. "I'm just as pissed as you about school, 'cause it is pretty pointless. But Jeb is just doing what he thinks he should do. He realizes he's fucked up as a father, and there's nothing that can take that back. He also realizes though, that he has the rest of his life to make up for that. To act as any father would. He wants to look out for you, and to protect you as much as possible. He loves you. Don't be mad at him for that." I gave her a soft smile, and quickly sat up in my seat, helping Angel pick out a movie.
Time to go to Seattle. I wonder how mad the stewardess would be if I throw up all over the plane.
Reviews are loved!!!
