the first 2 chapters, I wasn't gonna
jump, I was gonna fly.
Yes, brand new flocks are awesome, especially ours!
Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride, much to my displeasure. I guess it's for the best, cause Max, Fang, and all them don't come in till later, and I know how much you all love them! –Trinity p.s. please don't sue!
Claimer: This plot is mine and Lyrics. The idea of a duplicate flock is mine and Lyrics, so don't steal it, or I'll fly over to your house and beet you up! K, not really but what-eva! I also own all the characters in Lyrics flock, so don't steal them either. -Trinity
Trinity's POV:
When
she told me we were going to jump, I looked at her like she was
crazy. I'm not gonna fall to my instant death. She can do what she
pleases. "This water isn't going to last us forever," she
sighed, than I knew I had to jump. Die of dehydration or splatter to
your death? Personally, I'm not sure, but something inside me told me
that I knew how to fly. Instinct? Probably. Lyric packed her
bag. She put her bag on her back and pulled out her wings. I grabbed
my jacket and stuffed it into my side pocket. The barf side I made
sure hung out. I let my wings fold out and I walked over by Lyric. I
looked down. It was a long way down, but something told me to not be
afraid. So far, I love instinct. Wait till it tells me to start
eating raw fish. I looked over at Lyric. She was jumping up and down.
Why was she so exited? Sometimes I wonder if she thinks about the bad
things that could occur. She closed her eyes, than jumped. I jumped
right after her. Talk about an adrenaline rush. Sorry, but the only
way I can explain it is get some wings! I didn't have to do anything.
My wings caught the air and slowed my soaring. I glanced down and saw
Lyric looking at me. I pointed to my jacket, than to the water, and
began my fast decent down.
Lyric's
POV:
Ok, take the
happiest moment of your life, the most thrilling book, and the most
adrenaline inspiring action. And times that by, like, a hundred.
That's what I felt after I jumped with my
wings out. Why? Because I was not really falling. The wind filled my
wings and I flapped, tilted and, dived on pure instinct. It must of
been what a birds first flight must feel like. You are liberated from
moving slowly on the ground. The speed and freedom of the air I could
taste from my wings.
I looked around to
see Trinity looping lazily around. She caught my glance and pointed
to the river below and then her bag. Right. We needed to get down to
the source of water. It just felt so soon to think of landing, to
soon. But I forced my head out of the clouds and looked for a place
to land. There was a large flat space that looked good. Speaking of
landing I realized I didn't know how to.
Trinity
had probably thought of that before me and motioned me to go down
first. Drat that girl. So I went and started circling.
About
a hundred feet away I snapped my wings closed. And fell, for fun. I
opened them a few seconds before I went splat and hit the ground
running. A bit
later after Trinity's jacket had been washed and we had drunk lots of
water Trinity opened her laptop to type. It looked like we were
staying here for a while. Until food started to get closer to the top
of the priority list.
"How did you
know to jump?"
I looked up from my intense braiding of a
strand of hair. "What?"
Trinity
sighed, "How did you know that we could fly when you
jumped?"
Oh. "Walk by faith and not by what you see."
Wow that was a confusing response from me. She raised her eyebrow
meaning 'explain'.
I tried
something less confusing, "Honestly I didn't know. It was like
when we woke up and knew our names and each other. But a bit more
like instinct, what you where born to do. Like a hawk."
"Oh." She put away the laptop.
I splashed water from the stream on her. This meant a water fight. Her dark wings spread out now had trails of moisture running down them. I was in big trouble. This would be fun!
Trinity's POV:
She was in big trouble. I splashed water into her face. She kicked water at me, and it hit me right in the face. O' now she's gonna get it! I kicked water and splashed water like there was no tomorrow.
Lyric's POV:
Water fight summery: We got very wet. And discovered something interesting, We're trained pretty well in fighting
Trinity's POV:
She
laughed and ran off. I chased her and swiped a kick at her to trip
her. She pulled out her wings and flapped. She raised about 6 feet,
than dropped back down again. "What's that?" She asked as
she pointed to a blob in the distance. "O, I see now, it's a
group of some type of sheep," She said. "Bighorn," I
said. She nodded. She than took flight again and flew to the stream.
I sat with my wings out, trying to dry them while Lyric wandered
around. It was getting very cold. I thought we were in a desert. I
got up and went to look for fire wood. Yeah right, huh? We were in
the middle of a desert. I pondered on what to do over the firewood
problem. I decided to fly around and see what I could see from up
there. I got a running leap, jumped, spread my wings, and flied. I
swooped up, and noticed a bush nearby. I dove down and landed
running. I pulled out the bush and took to the air again. Lyric was
sitting under one of the blankets, writing in her notebook or
whatever. I landed and threw the bush onto the ground. I grabbed a
match and lite it then threw it into the fire. I built it up and it
turned pretty large, but than burnt out, the bush all burned up. Ok,
tip number one, don't us a bush as fire wood. I quickly shrugged it
off and got on my light blanket and under the heavy one. Lyric did
the same. At that moment, we went to sleep.
I
woke up later. It was way dark. I dug through my bag and pulled out
the watch. I pressed the glow button. I was only asleep for 2 hours!
I don't know, but I think that instinct was telling me to not sleep
with out somebody keeping watch. I glanced at Lyric. She was pretty
much dead. With that, I pulled out my laptop and started typing.
