Sorry the last chapter skipped from chapter 5 to chapter 9. I really didn't skip all those chapters it just has the wrong name. It was really chapter 6.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Maximum Ride
Chapter 7 Devin's POV.
We all walked into the living room that the boy Iggy had led us to after Fang went into Max's room. I didn't know why Fang was so nervous to see this Max guy, but I could see that he was. I also didn't know what these kids had against him, but it was obviously something big. There were 3 kids sitting in the living room.
"OMG!" a girls voice said as soon as we walked into the room. "Who are they, are the all bird kids, do they have special powers, how did they get here?" Wow could she ever talk. But wait how did she even know bird kids existed? I was suspicious of everyone; you never know who you could trust when you're a bird kid.
"I have no idea if they're bird kids, I don't know anything about their powers, I don't even know their names! Calm down for goodness sakes," Iggy said. He took a deep breath, and then said, "They got here with Fang." There was dead silence.
"Oh," said the girl. Then she burst into tears. Another little girl went over and started to cry with her. The 3rd kid (a boy) looked like he was trying to be strong, but it wasn't really working.
After about 15 minutes, (during which time we stared at the kids like they were crazy and they just kept sobbing) the boy said, "Where is Fang now?"
"Fang is talking to Max," Iggy said.
"Oh," the girl who had spoken first said again. She looked about my age, 12 or 13. "Now," Iggy said, "I think we should all try to find these kids something to wear and a place to sleep." The other kids all murmured agreement, but I was thinking "I don't think so." I could tell that that was what the rest of my flock was thinking too. Eva got down, out of Iggy's arms and ran over to clutch at my pant legs. I could tell that she didn't want to be picked up though. I met each of their eyes in turn and blinked. It was a code that Fang had taught us. It meant "make trouble". None of them gave any sign that they had seen, but, then they weren't supposed to. Hannah turned to the girl that looked my age, and they started arguing about where Hannah would sleep. Then Eva, Heather, and Elizabeth started arguing with the younger girl about what they would wear. Jason and I turned to the boy, and started arguing as hard as we could about both things, (where we would sleep, and what we would wear). After about 5 minutes, we were all shouting, and Iggy was running around trying to get everyone to calm down and stop arguing, but it wasn't working. Inside I was grinning. The plan was working just like I wanted it to. We could find our way out of the house from here if we had to, and this room had huge windows that were great for jumping out of. Of course I hopped it didn't go that far, because it was still storming really badly. Also I would have to carry Eva, she couldn't fly yet. Even Heather could just barely fly.
I was in the middle of these thoughts, and arguing with the boy, (which I was doing on auto pilot) when I heard a voice yelling, "STOP!" We all froze. Actually I tried to move and keep arguing with the boy, but I couldn't. I couldn't move at all as a matter of fact.
"Thank the Lord!" Iggy yelled throwing himself at the girl who had just yelled. She almost fell over, and that's when I realized who stood next to her. It was Fang! He looked like his normal rock self, but I could see that he was amused. How could he be amused by this! We were in a very uncertain situation! Then Iggy said, "I can't get them to do anything Max!" Huh Max was a girl, who'd have known? "I tried, but they just keep arguing," Iggy went on.
"It's alright Iggy," Max said. She looked amused too, probably at the look on Iggy's face. He looked almost comically relieved. "Ok oldest person of Fang's flock get over here right now!" she ordered. I walked over to her ready to hit her if she tried anything. She didn't look like she was strong enough to try anything though. She had dark circles under her eyes, and Fang's arm was around her waist supporting her. "Name," she said sternly." And don't you dare even think about giving me a fake one."
I raised my eyebrows at her and looked at Fang. Fang nodded, meaning that I had permission to give my real name.
"My name is Devin," I said calmly.
"How old are you?" was her next question.
Again I looked at Fang, and again he nodded. Wow, he must really trust these people. "I'm 13," I told her.
"Iggy," Max said, "He's in your charge. You are to find him some cloths that are actually fit for people, and a place to sleep." Iggy nodded and came over to take me by the arm. He led me away, and I kept glancing back. He didn't seem to notice, though, because he just kept leading me on.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"We are going to my room to find you some cloths." Iggy said. "I'm afraid that we'll kind of have to share a bed though, because Gazzy, the other boy, and I set off a stink bomb in the closet that we kept all the extra blankets, and the sleeping bags."
"It's cool," I told him. "I'll just sleep on the floor." "Why did they set off a stink bomb?" I wondered.
"No you won't," Iggy said. "You are bunking with me, and I don't care if you don't like it. You'll be more comfortable that way."
"Fine," I told him, "but be warned, I'm a really restless sleeper." That was enough to get most people to give up and let me sleep on the floor.
"It's all good with me," said Iggy. That frustrated me, but I didn't let him see it. Just then we got to his room, which was on the second floor. "I share with Gazzy." Iggy said. "so we'll have him and probably the other boy who came with you in here."
"Fine," I said. I was used to sharing with Jason, and how bad could this Gazzy kid be?
"Now to find you some cloths…"
This chapter was ten pages on Word, so I think it's pretty long. I hope you guys liked it! Please review. THANKS!
