Disclaimer: (I keep forgetting this stupid thing) I do not own Maximum Ride.
Claimer: I do own my aura people and Adria (does anyone have any ideas for a group name?)
Also, I want say a couple things. For those of you who have not read the series, Total is dog. With wings. And can talk. Deal with it. Also, I'm really sorry for the wait with chapters, I just got grounded from using the computer on weekdays, and can only use the tech computers Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It will stay this way until summer.
Sorry. Here's the next chapter.
Max POV
"Why did Adria send you?" asked the black haired girl. "Who the hell is Adria?" I growled back. Green-boy and Red-girl exchanged a look. Something did not look right.
Grey-girl sighed and said, "Alright, how 'bout this? Who are you?" She started to fall a little. Before I had a chance to reply, Fang (being very un-Fang-like) said, "I'm Fang, and this is Max, Nudge, the Gasman, Angel, Iggy, and Total. We're human-recombiants. Some scientists made us 98% human, and 2% bird. Or, in Total's case, 90% dog, 8% human, and 2% bird." Wow, I think that's the most I've ever heard him say.
The glowing people stared at us. Not in an unbelieving kind of way, but as if we would start fighting. Blue-boy asked so quietly, even I almost couldn't hear him, "What other powers do you have?" Iggy answered, "Angal is telepathic, as you know, Nudge can hack computers and is magnetic, I can se white and feel colors, Fang can disappear, Max can fly faster than the speed of sound, and Angel, Fang, and Max can breathe underwater." " And I can gas out a room," added Gazzy. Grey-girl cocked her head to the side and asked, "How?" "Trust me, you don't want to know," I say while glaring at Gazzy.
Blue-boy said something to Red-girl, and she nodded. "Seth, I think they're safe. Let them go. Haley, keep their wings bound," she ordered. Green-boy (Seth, now) and Grey-girl (Haley) nodded and did what she said. I felt the cool touch of Haley's glowing rope-things.
"Where are you taking us? Will there be food? Are we your prisoners?"asked Nudge. Red-girl looked at her with her now brown eyes and replied, "We're taking you to my house."
Audrey POV
As we walked through the forest, I heard the dog (Total), ask Angel, "Can you carry me?" The little girl picked him up and held him tenderly. That reminds me, I need to call Phaea, my pheonix, and tell her the news. "Phaea," I call. The Flock look at me like I'm crazy. Too bad.
"TSEEEEEER!!" I hear her cry as she swoops onto my arm. She has bright red, gold, and orange feathers covering almost every part of her. Her eyes are the color of a sunset, and are bright and intelligent. "Yes, mistress," Phaea says in my mind. Angel's eyes widen, and I give her a small smirk. I love it when telepaths find out about Phaea.
"These people were flying around town, and we're sure if we can trust them. They have wings," I turn and tell her. "We're taking them to my house, but do you know if Adria might be controlling them?" "I already told you mmhhhmmhh," yelled the one called Max. Haley covered her mouth just in time. Phaea replied, "No. She has nothing to do with them. But if she finds out about them, there will be trouble." I nod and hear the blind one called Iggy ask, "Who is she talking to?" Well, I might as well tell them.
I whip around and say,"I'm talking to my pet pheonix, Phaea." "Uuuuummmm....okay?" he says. "But aren't they, you, fake?" I over hear Phaea's response in my mind, as she talks to him, "I AM A PHEONIX!!! I AM REAL!!!!" He jumps, and looks around as I chuckle. "She talks through the mind," explains Seth. "It's a little freaky at first."
I turn back around and see my house coming up around the bend. "We're here," I tell everyone. Phaea flys off to keep watch on the house. Max looks at me and asks, "Can we pull our wings yet?" "No. Don't worry about my parents. They're used to weird things," I reply. She looks at me like I'm crazy (again). I just ignore and open the door, and yell, "MOM!! I'M HOME!!!"
I forgot to mention that Haley's red hair and the whole Red-Haired Wonder thing was a coincidence. I funny coincidence, but still a coincidence. REVIEW!!!
