Chapter 7

I do not own Maximum Ride. (If I did, I would probably be writing actual books.)

I woke up without Nick. Though, I wasn't worried. Because I'm positive the flock wouldn't allow him out of their hearing. I took a shower and packed up all my stuff in a backpack and was ready to go. I walked out of the room and placed my stuff by the door and saw Nick sitting at the table with Iggy and Gazzy. They were all eating.

"Hey Max, Angel and Nudge are getting ready. Fang's coming, I just don't know where he is or what he's doing at the moment. But he'll show up when we leave. I talked to him." Iggy smirked at me or more like the direction of me. I didn't want to know what happened during that talk they had.

"Dude, please tell me that Tally is way more rebellious? Because Nick isn't doing anything but saying you wouldn't want him to do what we want him to do." Gazzy said seriously, eating his own bacon like- just nasty!

"Tally's way more rebellious then me." Nick said hastily. I'm pretty sure he didn't want his uncles to not like him.

"Great!" Gazzy smiled at Nick.

Great, I thought. I got my own plate of breakfast just as my mom came into the dining room. "Hey Max, be careful okay. And come back here before you leave." She squeezed me.

"Yes Mom." I had to smile about how much she loved me.

She smiled.

"MAX! Awesome you're still here! I was worried you weren't. I had this nightmare that you died! Or left and I missed you oh so much. I still do! I'm afraid I'll never get you back! It's scary! So don't leave. Are you ready to go? Because I'm ready for us to leave! I wanna get your daughter back so that we can meet her!"

"Yes Nudge, if you've already eaten I believe that we can leave now."

"Max, how are we going to be able to find her?" Angel asked as Nudge nodded up and down to show me that she'd already eaten.

"Well, I'll just use my old tracking abilities." I half-smiled. Still not totally in the mood yet.

"Then let's go!" Nudge yelled. "FANG WE'RE LEAVING!" Then she proceeded to walk out of the house. As if she was the one that could lead everyone to Tally. "LET'S MOVE IT!"

I followed Nudge's moves. When we were all outside (even Fang!) we got back into our old formation form when we were teenagers and shot off into the sky, me leading. Nick stuck in the back, but Nudge quickly brought him up to her and Angel. I think she was worried he would fall and she wouldn't be able to catch him and I would be mad at her.

"So Nick do you have any cool moves?" Gazzy asked. "Possible super-speed?"

"No, no super speed. I didn't inherit that from Mommy." Nick smirked. "But I can do this!" His black and white wings suddenly disappeared to make it look like he was just floating. "Tally's totally jealous." He laughed and rocketed (not literally) ahead of me and Fang.

Fang, by the way, was giving me total silent treatment. No glances. No words. No nods. No eye contact. No communication what so ever.

"Cool! I wonder where you got that from!" Angel pointedly said. With her being able to read minds, I'm pretty sure she knew that Fang was skeptical about being the Baby Daddy. Not to mention, she was a teenager now and totally into the lovesick movies.

"Yeah! Me too!" Nudge said over exaggerating. She was catching on.

Great. The last thing I needed was two women/girls trying to show Fang the light.

AN: There's more coming today! At least I really hope so! You guys are really lucky I have no homework!
