First Attack
Sorry I haven't been updating lately, I've been busy with stuff from school, and stuff from home, but I'll try to post a bunch of chapters in a couple of days to make up for it.
By the way, this chapter is in 3rd person, but in a way where you know the person's thoughts...I forgot what that type was called D:
Anyways, Enjoy! R&R!
They should've known the Erasers couldn't keep away. Honestly, Max couldn't believe she'd been so stupid. She'd put the whole flock in danger, not to mention these new people.
So as she watched the huge humans begin to morph, she wondered how the others would defend themselves.
She shouldn't have worried.
The demigods whipped out swords and knives, and the wizards held their wands high.
"Maximum Ride" one of the Erasers hissed. "You will come with us" She rolled her eyes, and punched it in the face.
Then the real battle began. There were more of them then normal, 20. Yet the others didn't even flinch. Max began to have confidence in them. But not trust. Because that would be idiotic.
Percy slashed his blade at another Eraser, and he howled as he took off into the sky, the front of his chest bleeding. Harry shouted a spell, something like sectumsempra. Harry made a few slashing movements with his wand, and it was like an invisible sword had cut the Eraser. However, as the Eraser flew off, she noticed Harry's face was pained.
Soon, all the Erasers had flown off, leaving them with minor injuries. Max high-fived Fang, and everyone basically congratulated each other.
And Max felt that she could put a little bit of trust in them, even though it wasn't wise.
Percy felt confused.
They weren't monsters, or they would've disintegrated, they obviously weren't human- at least not all the time-, and they weren't fully animal either.
So he felt glad when Max explained.
"There's a horrible place, in Death Valley, that we call the School. There are mad scientists there, who create mutants. Most of the time, they turn out, er... not so good. But, we were some of the only ones that turned out fine. So were the Erasers."
Her flock was pacing impatiently beside her, except for Angel, who was sitting contently beside a patch of flowers.
They were...they were nowhere actually. They were all sitting in a random meadow that randomly appeared.
Harry shifted uncomfortably and muttered something to Ron that sounded like, "rebuilding of Hogwarts."
Annabeth surveyed a mini map of the world, calculating the best way to get to London and Arizona efficiently.
Iggy and Gazzy were talking about explosives, and Nudge was talking to Ginny excitedly, who was only half-listening, watching Hermione drum her fingers on a tree trunk, both with bored expressions on their faces.
They were bored. How could they be bored, when they were on a quest, where two types of monsters could get them?
"Three." Angel said.
Percy looked at her confusedly.
"Three types of 'monsters'" Angel repeated.
"Oh, that's another thing about Angel." said Fang. "She can read minds." From her spot, Angel smiled at him.
"Mind Reading." Percy mumbled. "That's normal."
"Wait a second." said Annabeth. She didn't know something, and naturally, she wanted to know what she currently didn't know. "You said there were three types of monsters. And...I don't think the third type of monster is a monster at all."
Angel simply looked at the wizards.
Hermione started talking. "Previously,we had this wizarding war. There was an evil...man, yet he wasn't all human. He wanted power, and killed a lot of wizards. Long story short, Harry killed him, and his followers aren't so happy about that. They'll stop at nothing to kill Harry. And us, and probably you too, now that you're traveling with us." She added as an afterthought.
"So, why can't you have a fair wizard duel, and kill the other wizard, if you killed this really powerful guy?" Iggy asked.
"That's the thing." said Ron. "They don't fight fair. And they don't really have a conscience, so they won't hesitate to kill you."
"Great." Max groaned. "More enemies."
