Chapter 7- Nights Silence and Loud Noises
Fang's POV
Max was so beautiful when she was asleep. And no, I'm not a pedo, for your information.
It made my breath catch suddenly in my throat.
Never in my life would I imagine that I could picture myself thinking these things. But it's true- I do love her.
If only she could see.
God, who am I? Mr. Corny Spectacular? Ugh… I am Mr. Non-emotional of course.
Wait- where are we? Ouch- is that a bruise? I wonder if Max is feeling any pain… and why the heck am I asking so many questions?!
Just when I thought I was about to go insane, I heard a shriek…
Iggy's POV:
We had trusted Fang to take care Max, who should have been at Itex, according to Angel's freaky mind powers. In case you don't know- mutant bird kids rule. And for Total's sake, mutant talking dogs with wings.
All of us were flying around the middle of no where, getting fresh air; a way of exercising our wings, if you please. The Flock hardly got any free time to do anything. Usually we were to busy kicking Eraser ass, or using the Max credit card to get us to a football game.
Fang had put me in charge. Obviously. So what was I going to do with a eleven, eight and a six year old?
"Who wants to play Fly Tag?!"
Okay, I know what you're thinking. Fly tag? Nah uh! I know I'm blind and all… but I rule at this game! And if you have a problem with that, you can just shove that human head up your-
"YAY! I love that game. I'm it!" Gazzy interrupted me. Hah. You got lucky that time.
In what seemed like only seconds all of us were out of breath, our wings were sore and we had a wicked case of seeing bright spots.
"Ok you guys, we need to stop." My words barely caught my breath, as I began slowing down my pace.
There was a universal 'aww' of bird kids everywhere and whimpers from Total, but I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Ella, can you come inside now?" A woman called out.
The kids couldn't hear the voice, but obviously I could.
It just hit me then that it sounded like Dr. Martinez. Max's mum and half-sister lived here. I mentally laughed. Humph, go figure.
Nudge was the first one to notice the patio, and the girl making her way towards the door of the house.
"Ooh Iggy!" She exclaimed. "It's Ella! Please can we go say hello. Maybe she knows where Max and Fang are. Well not Ella, but Dr. Martinez. She's really good with things like that, and she loves Max. Sometimes I wish I could be loved by an adult as much as her. Who knows, maybe we will find our parents in time. But right now we just have to stick together, yeah? Although it would be nice if I could actually meet my parents. Ooh, I'm sorry Ig. Am I hurting you too much? It's just that when your parents decided-" Gazzy quickly shut Nudge's trap before I had time too.
Damn.
"Just answer the question Iggy!" The Gasman shrieked.
"Huh? Oh sure, why not." I replied quickly.
Angel managed to stiff out a giggle.
"Hey Ella, WAIIITTT!" Nudge darted from the rest of us and quickly sped down to Ella, who was about to step into her house.
Well, that was until her mouth was wide open from shock and her face brightened up and began waving manically.
Nah, I didn't get my sight back. Total just described what happened. Got you there for a moment didn't I?
Max's POV
I began shrieking like an eleven year old girl who had just found a cricket on her butt. No offence Nudge.
Luckily, with my sophisticated sense of calmness, I found my way back to reality to find a stunned Fang with saucer wide eyes.
"What happened to you?" He questioned with concern and angst. Can you have those two emotions at the same time?
"Umm… just a nightmare I guess." I replied quickly, still stunned.
"A nightmare? You were screeching like a girl!"
Wow, I am honestly starting to doubt his intelligence level. A girl… well done Fang.
"I am a girl, dofus." Hah. I was back with my awesome comebacks.
"Whatever." He mumbled back at me.
My focus turned to where and why we are here.
"Uh… I don't mean to sound demanding, but where in the Jashin are we?" (AN: Lol, don't ask; joke with my friends)
I looked over at Fang who was trying to figure out an answer to my question. What I heard next wasn't a very good one.
"Maybe while we're here, we can talk?" He suggested.
Oh my Jashin, he wants to talk now?! God, just send in a bunch of Flyboys now.
"TALK?! You want to talk at a time when we're staring in the face of death whilst held captive in a room with an awful shade of white. Jeezums Fang, could you be any more selfish? What if the Flock needs our help. Oh god, the Flock." Unaware of me babbling, I started to talk to myself. "Do you think Iggy will be able to handle three bird kids?"
Instead of replying, Fang just chuckled.
"You sound just like Nudge." One of those rare smiles spread across his face.
I blushed in embarrassment. Oh dear, what am I turning into?
The stunned look on my face made Fang laugh even harder. You think with our experience of serious moments that he would try to be a bit more sympathetic. But no.
"You're a strange one Maximum Ride." Then I could feel he was going to do something un-Fang like.
Slowly he leant in and he was kissing me. Yep, totally un-Fang like.
Thinking back to what happened the last time he did this I knew it was the right thing to do. Until a certain little Gasman interrupted us.
But there was no one around. Not a wing nor, paw, nor robot. So I did what any other girl would do in this situation. I kissed him back.
He seemed surprised that I had reacted this way, but that didn't stop him from bringing his hand down to my lower hip.
His other hand came onto my neck lightly, which sent shivers down my spine. Then he slowly pulled me closer and kissed me with more passion.
Oh. My. God.
It was the most magical moment of my romantic histories with guys. That wasn't a lot, but still- I didn't care.
I felt a smile spread across my lips and our fingers laced with each others.
Between our next set of kisses, gasping for oxygen, he was whispering something.
He seemed to say, "I…….love……you."
I smiled absentmindedly as we began to part. I know, I wish it didn't have to end either.
Gosh, someone stand buy for violin music.
Our fairytale montage was cut off by someone's throat commanding us to stop our love fest.
Oh mother of- it was Jeb.
He stormed into the bright white door and raised his eyebrow like the smart arse he is.
"I'm sorry- am I interrupting someone?" Jeb's voice was sharp and to the point. Kind of like the Voice. Ugh, great. Another mother-
"What are you doing here?" Fang suddenly snapped, bringing me back to reality.
Jeb formed a smug look on is face, which made me want to shoot him so much more.
"Just checking up on my daughter…" He swiftly walked over to me and was about to pull back a strand on my hair that was overlaying my eye.
That is until Fang abruptly blocked his hand just inches from my face.
"She doesn't need you." He said with confidence and stiffness in his raspy, smooth and sexy vo- well, the point is he said it.
Jeb began to chuckle and went pack up to straight posture.
"Hello Fang, good to see you too." He smiled at him like an innocent person, but did you think he smiled back? I think we all know the answer to that.
"Where are we Jeb? And why?" I liked to get down to the point. Anything that can get us out of this room.
He began walking around me in circles, ever so slowly. It was really pissing me off. Have I ever mentioned how much I despised him?
"Dear, dear, Max." Jeb cooed softly. "I only want to help. With you…" He slowly pointed towards Fang. "And your boyfriend."
Greeaaat. Now my father thinks I have a boyfriend.
"Go to hell." I heard Fang mutter under his breath.
I almost started to laugh out loud. Almost.
"You see…" Jeb continued on. "We want to know how certain DNA can react with one another. Certain DNA like yours per say. If it's possible for you to have this much power Maximum, we want to know how your offspring would be like…"
That last sentence caught me holding my breath. OFFSPRING?! Well, there's no point thinking it. Time to let my feelings out in the open.
"You have to be joking me!!!" I blurted out to Jeb. Mind you, I hardly blurt out to people. "Oh God, um, ok. Even if you were to have someone, you know, with me-"
Fang made a screwed up face. I just rolled my eyes at him. Sexist pig.
But anyway I continued on. "-Then, who would it be and how would you find him?"
Jeb slowly crept up a smile on his face. "Oh but, Max. He's right in this room."
I swear to God I nearly chocked. He didn't mean-
"YOU?! ARE YOU CRAZY?" I swear if there were any windows in here, they would all break.
Jeb from a smile, turned into a frown. "Oh no Maximum. I would never ask you to do that."
If he didn't mean him, then-
"I'm asking you to do him…" Jeb trailed of, staring at Fang.
Okay, now I was really going to lose it. Fang? I could barely make-out with him let alone- ugh, great. A mental image in my head now.
Actually, Fang hasn't mentioned a word since he told Jeb to go to hell. Well- that's usually what I think too.
I wonder how he feels about all this…
