The Life of M.R.
Alrighty, here we go!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of its characters.
CLAIMER: I do own the fanfiction plot line and any self made characters.
Since I was told the basics of what happened and who my mother was, I kept on reading. I've gotten to the point now of the day that she leaves Fang and his flock.
..
"Do you really have to go?" The 7 month pregnant Maya whines from her bed.
"Yeah, I do, my flock needs me. I've been gone for a very long time." I say with a small smile as I lean down to awkwardly hug Maya.
"You have to come back when Stefan and Derek are born, promise me." Maya whispers to me as we hug. We were actually quite a pleasant moment until Mr. Tall Dark and Emo daddy-to-be walks in with my duffel bag slung over his shoulder.
"We need to leave now if you expect to make it back to the flock by sunset." Fang says impassively from the door, though I do know that he is a bit sad since we have gotten a bit closer in the past 2 and a half months since the Frozen Yogurt incident where we were practically mauled by FAX fans. I nod and let go of Maya. She looks very sad as I leave the room, but when I turn around she fakes a smile and waves. Out on the corridor Kate and Star are waiting, all tear filled too.
"Don't leave, Max! You're the only one that can still kick Fang's ass and get away with it." Star moans.
"Don't leave us with the brick wall!" Kate whines. I laugh at them. I've become friends with them as well.
"Ahaha don't worry, he isn't that bad after awhile. And I'll be back in 2 months, okay? Need to meet the twins." I say with a smile, forcing the tears not to come to my eyes. Fang doesn't say anything and instead nudges me along the corridor up to the roof where Ratchet and Holden are waiting. As soon as we're on the roof I'm attacked with a massive bear hug from the both of them.
"Hey, you better come back to meet the twins, alright? Or Maya will have us go after you." Ratchet says, forcing himself to use a tough voice. I smile at him and nod. Holden says nothing but bursts into tears.
"Don't leave us here with him!" Holden sobs, pointing to Fang, who is now looking at him with a cocked eyebrow. "Don't you know that he molests us in our sleep?" Holden whispers. It takes me a minute to realize that he's grinning under the fake sobs.
"Peh, we both know you enjoy it, Holden." Fang says impassively, knowing that it's a joke. I only laugh at the two of them and then turn to Fang.
"Ready for an up, up, and away?" I ask, remembering the old times, like at the baseball game in New York.
"Yep, are you?" Fang asks me. I nod and then we're off.
…
The flight so far has been pretty quiet, Fang and I haven't really been talking much and well, I'm fine with that. We stopped in at a Mc Donalds and got lunch, but other than that we've been flying non stop.
"Are you excited to go back to everyone?" Fang asks me impassively. I hesitate.
"Of course I am. They're my family." I say, implying that Fang is no longer part of my 'family'. Fang nods with a clenched jaw and we continue our flight.
…
As soon as my feet touch the ground in the large backyard of our house, I'm instantly tackled by Angel, Nudge, Gazzy, Iggy, Ella, and Dylan.
"You're back!" Angel cries happily.
"Good to have you back, Max." Dylan says, clapping a hand on my shoulder.
"Wahoo!" Gazzy exclaims as he lets one rip. Once he does everyone darts away from where he is standing and holds their noses shut, except for Fang, who must've forgotten how terrible Gazzy's stench was, and had instead passed out a few feet away from Gazzy. After a few moments of letting the stench drift away, Nudge was by Fang's side with the rest of us, except she was poking his face.
"Gaz, I think you killed him." Nudge says as she continues to poke Fang's face.
"Stop poking my face." Fang mumbles sternly as his eyes flutter open and he drags himself up off the ground. The flock laughs and they all greet Fang and sort of catch up on the past few months. I look at them and feel a pang of sadness, seeing the way they're all hanging out really reminds me of the old days. Fang and the rest of us end up going back into the house for a couple of sodas. A few hours later, Fang gets up to leave.
"Well I should be going now; Maya and the other will worry." He says, stretching his arms.
"Awwie, bye, Fang." Angel says sadly as we see him to the back door. He goes into the backyard, stretches out his wings, turns to face us all, and then catches my eyes. In his own eyes is an expression of—regret? I couldn't tell, he took off before I could look any closer.
Later that night, the flock, Ella, my mum, and myself all gathered around the living room and I told them all about my time with Fang and his flock.
Short, but there you go! I'll try to update soon, and sorry for the major time lapse, just trying to finish this story! Review and keep reading!
