Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I'm sort of out of ideas. And I was a camp. Thank you for the awesome reviews again! I do not own Maximum Ride! Angel came out a few days ago!
Allyson POV:
I woke up that morning feeling fresh and happy. Why again, oh yea, Iggy...
We got together kind of fast. Then again, we're not actually going out...
But that's not important.
I got up and went to the shower. No one else was up yet, just me.
I got undressed and stepped into the nice warm shower that just didn't last long enough.
When I was done, I stepped out and stood in my towel, being very cold, and NOT happy.
I willed myself to be dry. Closing my eyes, wishing I wasn't wet and cold.
When I opened my eyes, I was dry! Not a drop of water was on me!
What' going on?
I got myself wet again, then closed my eyes and willed myself to be dry again. Nothing happened though. What ever happened before just went away.
Still freaked out, I walked down the hallway, already dressed and laid down on the couch to relax.
I closed my eyes... it was drowsingly warm.
I heard footsteps coming closer.
"Hey." I said without opening my eyes.
"Hey," said a familiar voice, my eyes opened, "what're you doing?"
Iggy sat down next to me and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"Nothing, just freaking out," he shifted around so I was still on his shoulder, but he could see my face.
I told him about my weirdness after my shower. The whole time he just looked at me, looking really worried. He's cute when he's worried.
We all ate breakfast and then Max took me out for more fighting practice. I had been doing this for a while. In two days, I'll have been in the flock for 1 month, officially. We've stayed at Dr. Martinez's house the whole time so far.
I trained for a few hours. I've noticed lately how strong I'm getting. I have abs. It's kind of creepy.
Anyway, after lunch, we all went outside to fly around. All us girls played tag a wing, and the boys played their own game. Then, the winner of each team got to take on each other. Nudge and Gazzy won. The rest of us just reclined on the patio, watching them.
Angel was sitting in my lap, playing with my hair.
"Hey, what're those big things flying towards here?" asked Gazzy from waaaaay up.
We all looked over to where he was pointing.
Max cursed and ushered Nudge and Gazzy towards the house.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Erasers." Answered Iggy. He looked over towards me. With a small smile, he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
"Erasers? Aren't those the creepy, blood thirsty mutants? You know... things that can hurt us?" I said.
"Unfortunately." Max answered. "They always find us! We'll just have to fight them off."
"I've never fought one before!"
"No time like the present!" she smiled a grim smile.
Ella and her mom hid in their 'safe room' while we all prepared ourselves and stepped outside.
Ten hulking erasers stood before us, all grinning and showing off their horrible fangs.
"Hey Max!" one said. He was robotish. Not exactly flesh and blood, but not exactly robot either. In fact, all of them looked that way.
"It's only a fake Max, it's not really Ari." Fang slowly said under his breath.
Ari, wasn't that, like, Max's half brother?
I looked over to Max; she had a clod sweat on her skin and had goose bumps.
I leaned over and took her hand.
She jumped, but squeezed back after a few seconds.
"Aw, how touching!" sneered the eraser.
"Listen, we don't want to fight. We just..."
"Hehehe. Sorry my little chick, no can do." He interrupted.
A few seconds later, he and his whole team charged us. I was knocked off my feet but quickly got up. Everyone but me and my eraser shot into the sky. A few roundhouse kicks and punches later, the eraser thingy fell and rolled away.
I can't believe I did that! I've never done anything like that!
I shot myself into the air and started fighting with the others.
Showtime
Iggy POV:
I knew she could do it!
Allyson rocketed upward to take on another eraser.
This one soon caught onto her novice moves. He slashed out and I heard a soft scream as she tumbled downward, trying to catch herself.
Come on! Spread those wings!
About 20 feet from the ground, her wings flared out, but she wasn't fast enough and crashed into the ground, rolling to a stop.
Please get up! Please!
Panic spread throughout me as I waited for her to get up.
1... she still laid still 2... still there 3...4... panic was causing me to hyperventilate slightly 5...ok, I'm getting her
I folded my wings and streaked the few hundred feet that was between me and the ground, punching a few erasers on the way.
I braked and landed much softer than Allyson.
Running over to her, I got on my knees and scooped her head up to my chest after I checked for broken bones. When I looked down, I saw blood clotting her hair and feathers.
She was limp, but not dead, just unconscious.
As I picked her up, she moaned. "Allyson! Please answer me! Please!" I shouted.
She moaned again and buried herself into me.
"It's ok! We're going in! Just stay with me!"
I picked her up and started running towards the house, only to be knocked down by the five erasers that swooped down to block me.
"Stop! Let me through! She could be dying!"
"Aww! Look at that! Poor Romeo has to save his Juliet!"
I snarled and kicked him down, managing to run a few feet before the eraser closest to me grabbed the back of my shirt, causing me to fall foreword and Allyson to tumble out of my arms. He grabbed me roughly.
She coughed and sat up, only to fall back down, clutching her head
"Allyson!"
"Iggy?" she turned towards me, "what's ... what's going on?"
An eraser leaned down and pulled her roughly to her feet, making her cry out.
He grabbed her around the waist and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Then signaled his team and started running towards a jeep that just seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Max!" she screamed
Max and the rest started running towards her, but the erasers pulled out these huge ray gun-y things that looked like they belonged in a sifi movie. They turned for just a second and shot the guns towards Max and the flock. No! They toppled down to the ground, stunned.
I turned and struggled against the eraser that was holding me; he just stood there like a rock, sneering at me.
"Iggy!"
"Allyson! Hold on!"
I struggled again and managed to knock my eraser to the dirt and knock him out with a well placed kick in the head.
I ran, stumbling until I could catch myself towards Allyson. She was pounding on the eraser, but he just kept going.
She looked at me and punched harder. About 5 feet from the jeep, the eraser that had Allyson tossed her to another one, who tossed her into the car. Only 20 more yards, come on! I poured on the speed, easily hitting 100 mph. the eraser in front floored it and they zoomed off, but I wasn't about to give up yet!
Allyson leaned out the window, reaching for me. Only 10 feet away, move it! I ran harder, barely catching up. The eraser closest to Allyson grabbed her waist and tried to pull her in. she braced herself against the window and leaned out farther. I reached out to, only separated by inches. I could see so much hope, and fear, in her eyes.
Just as our fingertips brushed, the eraser gunned the engines and the jeep flew foreword, making me tumble in the dust.
No...
I lost her!
Her head was roughly shoved back into the jeep, with a muffled scream.
I fell to my knees and just sat there, staring at the dust cloud rolling away. Defeated. I felt a warm tear streak down my dusty face. I couldn't save her. All I wanted to do was to protect her. I promised I wouldn't ever let anything happen to her.
Just remembering that day made my vision cloud even more. How she called me her prince. How she laughed. How she kissed me.
I've let my princess down.
That night I didn't eat. I wasn't hungry. No matter how much everyone tried, I wouldn't. I didn't even accept help from Max with my wounds. I couldn't. After what I let happen, how could I ever accept help from anyone?
I'll find you, don't worry! Just stay alive, I'll find you!
Allyson POV:
I was tied up in the back of the jeep feeling every bump in the road.
Please hurry my prince! I'm waiting for you!
Please review! It REALLLLLLLY helps! Thanks for the great ideas!
