I looked at him pulling in a long shaky breath. "Fine. I understand if you hate me and are scared of me after this….." I leaned up kissing his lips just in case it was my last then pulled my jacket off. I slowly let my wings open up behind me.
His eyes widened as he watched. He reached a hand out stroking the feathers softly. I shivered as it sent chills down my spine. "Why arn't you afraid of me?" I whispered, looking up into his deep onyx eyes.
He smiled a little. "Because they are beautiful not scary. But you still have a story to tell." His face hardens again. I sigh sitting down, on the grass, and begin my story. Yeah life sucks….
"Ok from the start… My father Jeb Batchelder is a scientist. Him and my mother created me." He rolled his eyes as if to say, Well-duh…. "She let him have me because they were young and i was well…. Any ways i grew up with him. I loved my dad. Well one day, when i was 5, he told me i had to get some shots so I wouldnt get sick. I cried but he told me he would give them to me so them I felt better. Sort of…" I shuttered but kept talking.
"Maxie! Where are you sweetie! Im gona find you!" I giggled squishing farther behind the couch. Suddenly his smiling face came swooping down and he grinned at me. "Gotcha!" He laughed pulling me out and tossed me in the air. I laughed hugging him with my little skinny arms. "I love you daddy." He hugged me back. "I love you to Max." He set me down kneeling in front of me. "Maxie today we have to give you some shots so you dont get sick ok?" I screamed running to my room to get Mr. Wuffles. He followed me rubbing the back of his neck. I peaked out at him from under all my stuffed animals. "Max it wont hurt i promise. And there is a surprise waiting there for you." I looked at him. "No. Wait. What is the surprise?"
He laughed. "I guess you will have to find out now wont you?" I sighed crawling out but still holding onto Mr. Wuffles like he was my life line. "Alright Daddy…. Can Mr. Wuffles come please?" He grinned picking me up. "Sure sweetie." He walked to the car with me in his arms and buckled me into my car seat. He got in the drivers seat pulling out of the driveway. I sang to my bear as he drove. Two hours later we finally got there. I was asleep but woke as soon as he parked. He got out and came to my side, unbuckling me. I hopped out trotting at his side, one hand gripping my bear, the other holding onto his pointer finger.
"Where are we Daddy?" I smiled up at him and he smiled back. But it looked forced and he bent down picking me up and hugging me tight. "My work. Maximum i love you so much and please never ever forget that ok?" I nodded frowning and kissed his cheek. "Of course Daddy!" He walked into the big white building where some men were talking. An African-American girl who looked my age was standing next to them looking frightened. Jeb set me down and motioned for the girl to come over. She looked happy to see him and ran over hugging his leg. I crossed my arms looking at her. "Hey! Thats my daddy not yours." She glared at me. "Is not. He is my daddy. He said so." I looked at jeb and he laughed. "Max this is Nudge your new sister. Nudge this is your new sister Maximum." I shrugged. "Ok i guess we can share my Daddy if your my sister." She grinned at me nodding.
The men turned walking over and my dad bent down to our level. "Max im leaving. But I love you so much. I'll see you again some day. Nudge I love you to." He hugged us both really tight before standing up. The men shook my fathers hand before saying 'You can go now Jeb'. My dad sighed turning and walking away. That was the last time I saw him…
I lifted my hand feeling the tears running down my cheeks. What? The great Maximum Ride never cries! I wiped them away looking at fang who leaned over hugging my tight before whispering. "Go on."
I grabbed Nudges hand hugging my bear with my other arm. She looked at me her face terrified. The man leaned down smiling at me. "Hello Max. My name is Dr. Jonhson. I will be taking care of you from now on. You will stay with Nudge here." I glared at him and retorted. 'Will not. My daddy will bring us home. He will kick your butts." The man growled straightening up. "Take them to their room and deal with them. The sooner we start the better." Two of the other men nodded picking up up and carrying us to a room. I was white with two metal tables in the middle. They laid us down strapping us to the tables. Then they left. Nudge cried screwing her eyes shut. I long time later, I'm not sure how long, Two people, a man and a woman, came in wearing long white coats. They smirked at nudge pulling some drawers with shots in them out of the tables.
They grabbed a few different bottles after putting a mask over Nudges face. Her eyes fluttered shut as her head lolled to the side.
I screamed thinking she was dead and he turned around slipping one on my face and everything started to get foggy. Then i was out cold. When i woke up Nudge was starting to wake also. I groaned. My body ached. Wait. That wasn't Nudge! I gasped. "Who are you? Where is nudge!"
She looked at me. "Max? Is that you?" I nodded looking at her funny. "Yeah but who are you?"
She frowned. "Its me nudge your sister!" I sat up. The straps snapped as if they were string. I gasped looking down at myself. I was big! Little did we know, we had been asleep for three years. I felt something move on my back and i spun around but nothing was there. But something was still rubbing my back. Nudge gasped pointing at me. "You have wings!" I looked behind her. She had pretty brown spotted wings to! I spread mine out looking at them. They were gold with white and black spots on them. Like a Falcon. Hers were more like eagle wings.
I looked up at Fang who seemed to be thinking. I bit my lip and kept going.
She tried to sit up but it wasnt working. I sighed walking over and pulling at the straps. Again they broke. Weird. She sat up, legs swinging down, and hopped up. I looked at her. She was pretty. "Hey Nudge what do i look like?" She looked at me for a moment. "Well you have brown hair with blonde streaks in it, a natural tan and melted chocolate eyes. What about me?"
"Um you have black hair and freckles and your skin is milky brown. You eyes are a pretty green." She smiled liking it. "Ok Max! Lets see if y-" She broke off as the door slammed open and these horrifying wolf-like things growled at us. I put my fists up ficking my eyes on them as they rushed us. I made sure Nudge was behind me before beating the crap out of them, one by one, till they were all laying dead at my feet. A man, who i think was the one we had first met stood in the door way smirking. "Good job Maximum! Now time to test Nudge." He walked over to me putting a metal thing around my neck that cut my skin if i pulled on it. Then he strapped Nudge back down hanging knives up on the wall. I frowned standing back because the colar hurt. Nudge looked at the knives like she wanted them to come and suddenly one flew off the wall right to her hand.
She grabbed it shocked, and cut off the straps. I gaped at her. Wings AND Superpowers! The man clapped his hands together happily. "That is truly wonderful girls!" We glared at him and he shrank under our gaze. "Now girls. We wont hurt you if you do what we say. If you dont we will cause so much pain. Maybe even death." That made us shrink away and we grabbed each others hands. He pointed at the door and we walked out following in front of him to a big gym like room.
Every day it was more experiments and fighting fly boys and erasers. When we were 12 He let us go outside, thinking we wouldnt try and run. Or well fly. But we did. The second his back was turned we flew away as fast as possible. A few days of flying and we found ourselves in a city. We looked at a big map and found what we were looking for. A map. We followed it, careful not to be seen by anyone. After a week of looking we finally found my dads house. It had been 8 years since i had seen him.
I took a deep breath before ringing the door bell. Ding-Doooong. We waited and a few minutes later a man who looked to be in his 30's answered. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at us. "Can i help you?" I looked at him. "Sir are you Jeb Batchelder?" He nodded and i tried to ignore the hurt forming in my heart that he didnt recognise me. I looked at him and whispered. "Daddy. Im home." His eyes widened and he jumped forward pulling us into the biggest hug ever. Nudge started to cry but i made sure i didn't. "Oh girls…. Im so sorry…. Im sorry…" I just nodded and he let us go. "Come with me." He turned walking away into the house and we slowly followed him. I wasn't about to just trust him after he gave us away 8 years ago. He stopped in his office dialing a number on his phone.
"Hello?"
"Ah valencia…. Max… She came home. She escaped. With her sister Nudge. I want you to be at the airport in two days. Im sending them to you."
"But Jeb! Iv never met her!"
"So? Your her mother and if i dont send her away they will come looking here for her. Just be there."
Then he hung up. I looked at him. "My mother?" He nodded. "Max wait in your room with Nudge while I get things ready for you. I sqeazed Nudges hand and led her to my old room. It was still the same as the day i left it. They were all still pilled up in a heap on my bed. I smiled softly looking at my purple puppy bob. "Oh nudge…" I suddenly needed a hug and crumpled into her arms. She let me cry on her shoulder until my dad called us down to the kitchen. I wiped away my tears putting on a brave face and trotted down stairs to where dad was sitting in the kitchen.
"Max im bringing you girls to the airport and putting you on a plane to texas, then frm there it will go to Arizona. Till you get there you name is Raven. Nudge will be Ally. Its to keep you safe. But when you meet your mother you will me Max and Nudge again alright?"
I nodded. "Yes dad." He stood ushering us to his car. We hopped into the back seats and he drove us to the airport.
As we stood, about to get on the plane he hugged us both tight. "I love you girls"
I just smiled weakly at him as we got on the plane waving at him.
"We were on that plane for 26 hours. Nudge learned to be a motor mouth and my ears broke."
I smiled a tiny smile as i looked at Fang. "My mom picked us up and we lived in California till we moved here. I guess they found me…"
He reached a hand out wiping away a stray tear. "Lets go find them together."
"But if they catch you! They will experiment on you!"
He stood, spreading black wigs out behind him. "To late for that."
I gasped but ignored it. I stood and we flew off hand in hand.
I have no idea where we are going.
