A/N hey guys, its Rushh! I'm bored and guess what I do when I'm bored? That's right, I post! Friday I had my editor read over a chapter, and it was approved. So, here it is, another super early post for y'all. Nice and longgg.
Getting Together?~ Chapter 9
MAX POV
Aw, what the hell? Can't they ever just give us a break?
"UP AND AWAY!" I screamed at my flock. "On three! One!" The flock shot upwards around me and I saw for the first time that we were surrounded by Itex. Planes, helicopters cans, Jeeps, Hummers, and motorbikes all surrounded the campsite. By the looks of it, if we hadn't chosen to fly instead of fight, we would've been way outnumbered. I know we're pretty amazing, but we can't take down the approximately 1,000 Itex Erasers, Whitecoats, and other mutants.
"Max," Angel said uncertainly, noticing what was going on just as I did.
"Everybody grab on to me. We're getting out of here," I said, looking to see flying Erasers and other mutants flying at us. "NOW!"I screached.
Fang and Iggy hugged my torso, Angel and Gazzy on my feet, and Nudge wrapped her arms around Iggy. THe Erasers were pretty close now. Way too close for comfort. I closed my eyes and focussed all of my energy on my super speed. I hadn't used it in a while, but I remember it took a lot of energy. Now I was carrying five others. This'll be interesting, won't it?
I heard screeching and opened my eyes to see the Flock gripping on to me in... McDonald's? Okay, I'm confused. I looked around me and heard murmurs from the store.
"Hey, how'd they get there so fast?"
"Quiet down! Freaking teenagers..."
"Mommy why are they all dirty?"
The murmurs subsided and an awkward silence arose. By now the flock had quieted down and were just as confused as I was. Had I developed a new power? I looked over at Angel who slowly nodded. Guess I can teleport now. But where were we? Obviously a McDonald's, but where? Where are we? Far enough away from the Erasers, or right around the corner from Itex?
"Uh.. Big Mac?" a man about in his thirties offered, holding it out to us. "I'm not homeless or anything, and I know you don't get to eat often, and you screamed when you saw it, so take it. You need it way more then I do."
"Uhm..." Nudge murmured, embarrassed. "You see sir, we're not.. we're not..."
I suddenly became very tired. "Fah- Fuh- Fang..." I muttered sleepily. "I need to- I need- need to," I closed my eyes and was fighting to stay upright. "Get... out... out of..." I finally gave up the battle and fell backwards, letting sleep overcome me.
FANG POV
"What the hell, Max?" I said, as I caught her easily. "Max...?" I said again, slightly worried.
The balding man who had called us homeless- which really isn't a lie- looked concerned. "Hey, son, is your girlfriend alright?" He asked, eying Max.
GIRLFRIEND? Max wasn't anything close to being my girlfriend. That would never ever happen. She'd never go out with me. But... she's knocked out and she can't do anything about it... soo... "Um, yes, she's fine, sir." I said, picking her up bridal style. THe man seemed to come to a conclusion as he looked back and forth at me and MAx. The rest of the clock had gome to order some food and it was just us left.
"Did you take her away from her family? Oh God, son, did you knock her up? Is that why you're on the run? Away from her family?" The old man said, eyes wide.
I flushed a deep crimson. "No, sir, you've got it all wrong-"
Erasers flooded the place, all in human form. "Oh Nicholas, dear, your father and I have been waiting outside for you and your siblings. Ready to leave yet?" A rather short, female Eraser questioned, gripping my shoulder.
"Nope. WE'll never go anywhere with you" I spat, shaking off her hand and backing up to the flock. "We have to leave. Now." I growled, looking around, There were too many, and all of the exits were blocked off.
"But how can we- ahh! Let go of me you monster!" My little girl shrieked. Max and I had raised her since she was a baby. She treated us like her parents, which we basically were. "FANG! IGGY! HELP ME!" Angel screamed, being dragged away. Her hands were reaching towards us, and her feet were kicking, trying to get free. Iggy was already fighting off two Erasers, Gazzy taking another one on. Nudge made a leap for Angel, but was grabbed Mid- air by another Eraser. Just as I went to circle around, something hit me on the back of the head. Hard. Blackness overcame me, and the gorgeous, unconscious beauty in my arms and I tumbled to the ground.
-two days later-
I woke up in a van with the lock all around me. WE were all tied up, but didn't look like there was that much damage. Just a couple blows to the back of the head, is all. I was sitting against the right side wall, Max laying down across my lap. Iggy had her feet across him, and was leaning against Gazzy. Gazzy was crumpled up in a ball across from Nudge, who was lying down almost the length of the van. Angel was sitting up with her head tilted back again the wall. I'm the only one awake.
"Well, well, well, look who's up." Ari kicked my stomach. "Little lover-boy can't do squat now, tied up in a van. ANd my sis can't save y'all this time, dig? Your lives are in our hands now" He growled, spitting on me. "And there's nothing you can do about it." Ari laughed maniacally, and slammed the door separating the driver's part of the car from the storage part where we were placed. I growled again, slamming my head back against the wall.
"Now, hey son, where are we? One of those quite attractive women knocked my right upside the head. And now I'm here," he stated, chewing on his Big Mac.
I just shook my head at him. He was sitting in the corner, over by Angel, and I had missed him when doing inventory. I looked down and the beautiful face of Max, who still hadn't woken up yet. I bent my head down and laid it on her chest to make sure she was still breathing. I sighed in relief. She was. I kissed her cheek and straightened back up, looking back at the Big Mac guy. You know what? I'm gunna name him Big Mac, kay? I'm done not calling him anything. Anyways, Big Mac was just staring at me, chomping on his Big Mac.
"Dude stop, you're starting to freak me out." I said, eying him cautiously.
Just then, Ari burst into our part of the van and looked at me like I was crazy. "Who are you talking to, nut-job?" Ari rolled his eyes.
"Why, son, I believe he's talking to me," Mac called from the corner. Ari confusedly turned around at the unfamiliar voice. He stomped over to Mac, who didn't look the least bit worried.
"Who let you in here?" Ari demanded, opening the back doors. "Well, whatever, we don't need you so," He pushed Mac out of the door, and he was lucky enough to land on soft, fluffy looking grass.
Ari slammed the door shut, glared at me, and stomped back into his portion of the van.
