Hey! Guess what! I'm updating! Again! And it's only been a day! I'm so proud of myself! Haha, lol.
AnikaandAj: Thanks for putting me on your Favorite Stories list, Story Alert, and for reviewing! I love your idea very much! I'm thinking about using it, but maybe not have Dylan do it because it's not really a Dylan-ish thing he would do. But maybe a scientist would do it! So thanks for the awesome idea!
Cadisha Ora Rhaksha Caden: Thanks for adding me to you Favorite Stories list and reviewing twice! Thanks for pointing out that in Chapter 6, I put habitat instead of habit. I changed that as soon as I read your review, also you said there was a flaw in my plan. Actually, the scientist knew that they were there from the sensors and the cameras in the rooms, and the cameras in the hall. Plus, they knew as soon as they escaped, they would come looking for her. Just remember, the last chapter happened in matter of seconds, so it's kind of confusing. Sorry about that. But thanks for pointing it out! I needed someone to do that. I really appreciate it since I want this story as good as it can be. And if you see any other flaws, just tell me in a review! Thanks! :D
Disclaimer: If I owned this, it wouldn't be a disclaimer.
Claimer: This plot is still mine. And so is everything else that you don't see in the books.
Chapter 9
I was falling…. I waited for me to go splat, but I never did. I opened my eyes and realized that I was flying. Truly flying. With wings and everything! I looked at my wings. They were white with stripes of brown in them. They were about as long as emo b-gasp! Emo boy! I almost forgot! I looked up to see if he was ok, but I must have dropped pretty far down because all I could see was a black figure way up high that looks like it's fighting with air… and losing. I shot up there to go help him, but when I got close I suddenly got hit in the stomach by an invisible fist. I tried to punch in that direction, but all hit was the air. I got kicked in the head, and then I tried to punch, but the attacker was gone.
"Max! Fly away!" I looked up to see a battered emo boy.
"Wait! What about you?" I asked.
"I'm coming with you! The Erasers can't fly very well at all, and I think we can out fly them!" He yelled; bad idea because I suddenly got grabbed from behind and couldn't move at all. The only thing keeping me from falling was the invisible human wolf thing that's holding on to me. I looked up to emo boy, looks like he was being held too. But then he suddenly lashed out and kicked the thing behind him; and hit his target because he was suddenly let go and was able to move again. The invisible human wolf things tried to get him back down by the looks of it because every once in a while his arm or leg looked like it was suddenly grabbed on to or something, but he would always shake them off in the end. He suddenly flew down extremely fast to me and punched the invisible human wolf holding me. I heard a big crunching sound, and I knew he hit the thing. I felt its grip on me go loose and I suddenly shot out of its grasp before it could tighten again, and without saying a word, me and emo boy flew as fast as we could. I went a whole lot faster than him for some reason, but slew down to his pace so I could be side-by-side with him. After about an hour or so of flying as fast as we could, we finally started to slow down and relax a bit. We knew we lost them.
"Where to now?" I asked emo boy.
"Back to the house." He replied, looking straight ahead with that emotionless mask of his.
"Where?" I asked. Whose house are we going to? I want to know exactly where we're going because even though they broke me out of that horrible place, and he just saved me from losing an attack from those things and getting sent back there again, I still don't trust these flying kids. Even though it doesn't help that I can fly too; just like them.
"It's the house we all stay at." I decided to stop asking about the house, and started to look around at the ground. I couldn't exactly tell where we were because we were so high up. Then I realized something.
"How did you know that I have wings?" I asked. I waited for an answer, but he didn't say anything; just looked forward with no emotion showing on his face. I suddenly stopped flying. Well, I kept flapping my wings, but I wasn't moving forward. He realized that I wasn't by his side and turned around and gave me a questioning glance.
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me how you knew that I had wings, and what I'm not remembering." I said, crossing my arms, being as stubborn as possible.
"No.", was all he said.
"Fine, then. Guess I'm not going anywhere." I just stood in my spot and looked at him. For a second he looked aggravated, but then went back to being emotionless.
"Come." Another one word response from the emo.
"No." He looked like he wanted to come over and grab me, but just stayed in his spot.
"Fine, I'll tell you. We use to know each other back when you had your memory."
"We did?" He just nodded. "And?" I asked him.
"And what?" He asked.
"And, how did you know me? Why do we have wings?"
"I'll tell you later, when we get to the house."
"No. I'm not moving until I know the whole story. Why don't you just start at the beginning?" I said. He looked really mad. He didn't show it, but I could tell from his eyes…. Or maybe it was the death glare he was giving me. I can't tell which.
"Max-" He started, but I didn't let him finish.
"Now." I said in a demanding voice. He just signed and told me everything. How we were all experiments, raise in a lab. The white coats (which I realized were the scientists) gave us wings and special powers. When we were 10, one of the scientists named Jeb (that name sounds familiar), broke us and the flock (which he told me were the rest of the kids I saw) out and stayed with us for two years, then suddenly disappeared. I heard it all; about Itex, meeting Dylan, doing a whole campaign to stop the white coats, everything. It was a lot to take in. After the whole story, he looked out of breath. I just narrowed my eyes at him.
"I don't believe you." I told him. He looked a bit surprised.
"What?" He asked me.
"I don't believe you." I repeated louder.
"Do you think I would lie about this?" He asked in a challenging voice, which only encouraged me more.
"Well, it certainly doesn't seem real. Like I'm supposed to save the world? Yeah right! And a talking dog? Where did you steal that one from? A cartoon?" I asked.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine. But I'm telling the truth. Now come on, it's not good to just stay in one place. The Erasers could still be looking for us."
"No! I don't want to go anywhere with you! You're a nut!"
"Says the girl with wings." He mumbled, but I heard it.
"Says the boy with wings." I replied.
"Max, come on! Everyone is going to be worried."
"Oh, you mean the so called Flock, or the talking dog and his wife? Or maybe is it my mom, the veterinarian or my dad, the scientist?"
"Max-"
"No! I'm leaving!" I started to fly away.
"Max!" I heard Fang start to come after me, but I flew faster. He kept yelling my name, but I kept flying farther away until I couldn't hear him anymore.
I personally think this chapter is a bit sad. Review and tell me what you think. Oh and I'm going to change the summary to the story. Just a heads up! Ok, so R&R! And go on my profile and vote on my pole! Ok, thanks! ;D
