Groggily I walked out of the bedroom at 's and went downstairs. It was only just after five am so I was expecting the Flock to be having a rest - we don't often have a chance to have a lie in. "Who's there?" I said when I heard crashing noises in the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen to see Fang and Iggy staring at a newspaper. Iggy could still see! That must mean I had some special healing powers.
Hormonal teenager with superpowers? Not sure that's a good idea.
"What's wrong?" I said and gasped when Fang held up the newspaper.
"We are not alone!" screamed the headline.
I was just about to shrug and walk away when I saw the picture. It was me, on Mars. Luckily there were no pictures of the message.
"No-one will care" I argued but Fang shook his head.
"Do you want to be dissected?" he snapped and pushed me out the front door. I sat on the ground and cried, no-one wanted me.
Five minutes later, just as I was about to fly away, Fang,Iggy,Angel and Gazzy appeared in the doorway.
"U+A" Fang whispered and they flew up.
"No. You don't need to. The School will find you" I protested and he shook his head.
"Is that what the Voice told you?" he said, his voice filled with scorn.
Sighing I flew higher and higher. Fang was still holding the newspaper.
"Aliens on Mars- will they invade the Earth?" read the caption.
Hearing screaming below we swooped lower. I saw a little boy of about 8 about to be beaten up by two teenagers.
I nosedived and Fang grabbed my arm. "You're not the hero. Don't Max. If someone else sees you!"
I pulled myself away. "Aliens and monsters, well what about him? That little kid? If I can't save him why don't you?"
"Because Max, I'm tired and hungry and we've got to get away. If someone finds you..."
"Five minutes" I said and landed.
"That's what you said last time" he muttered.
I walked closer to the little boy and stepped in front of the two teens. Raising an eyebrow I stared at them.
"Is that that alien?" one screamed, excited.
I tried to keep calm and stayed still.
"Do you speak English?" one said.
I tried not to thump him.
"Can you understand us?"
I grabbed the little boy and pulled him away, to where Fang was waiting. The little boy then ran away, now safe enough.
One of the teens grabbed my arm and I tried to shrug him off but he was strangely strong.
"Get off me!" I growled and managed to make a run for it.
"You can never forget Maximum! You're not human, you're going to hurt someone!Go back to the School!" Yeah, like I'd follow his advice.
AN I'll update daily if I can. Ten reviews would be totally amazing (and would provoke the longest chapter I have ever written =) ) but just knowing people are viewing this is gr8 lol.
Five reviews would be cool *hint hint*
Bye 4 now Star of Calamity
