No, no, no, no, NO! Not Max! Please! God, I hope she's okay...! These were the thoughts that were flying through my head as I saw Max fly axross the room and finally land on the ground, limp and unmoving.
By then i was already on my feet, running to her side (huh.. "running to her side"...man, that's deep..!). Angel and Gazzy were crying and nudge had tears in her eyes. Ange and Gaz went over to Iggy, who tried his best to calm them down. Nudge was silent but sat nearby on the floor, quietly sobbing. Alice and Rose did their best to calm her down, or get her to talk, but nothing was working..
Poor kids...they shouldnt have to see this...their only mother figure the've ever had is laying her, maybe dead.
I put her head in my lap as Carlisle checked her over...the um, top. of her chest.
He looked thoroughly surprised. "I can't believe it," he muttered. "Not a single mark, not a scratch, nothing! You'd at least expect a burn mark or something.."
At this Alice looked up, shocked as well. "But in the vision she, you know,didnt she-"
Edward looked at her sadly. 'Die. I know."
I kept my face expressionless. Not looking up, i said, "Wasn't she hit on the side?'
"what?" Edward said.
"i said, wasn't she attacked from the side, didnt it-that orb thingy-go through her side, not her chest?"
Alice snapped her fingers. "Thats right! Then maybe she'll live!'
i looked down at Max, who looked like she was sleeping peacefully... lthough I knew that hit was painful. However, the little hope that Alice's words gave me quickly diminished when the faint movement of Max's chest slowed. It immediately stopped.
"Guys," I said, panicking. "She stopped."
"What? Breathing?" Carlisle asked. He gently laid a hand on her chest.
...a few seconds later he removed it, a pained expression on his face. 'I'm sorry." Aw, man...no! Those are the very last words you ever want to hear a doctor say! "She's gone."
We sat there quietly and subconciously i heard the door open and close, probably Esme and Jasper, returning from their search with Jake "Nothing. Couldnt find a thing, but Jake and his pack are still looking." I heard Esme say.
I buried my face in Max's hair, letting a few tears out. This must be so hard for the kids...aw, who am I kidding? This is hard on ME! I didn't even get to tell her how...how I-
"Look!" Alice said.
"She's breathing," Rose said. "Wow."
My head immediately shot up and gently lifted Max up, so she rested on my shoulder. i stroked my hair. "Max?" I whispered, hopefully. As I held her I did notice that she began breathing.
A few seconds later, she coughed, then sat up on her own and coughed a little more before holding her head with one hand. I held the other and put an arm around her shoulders. "Max? Breathe, Max..."
"MAX!" The kids yelled.
She looked up at them weakly. "H-Hey, guys..." I could tell she was exhausted. But hey, i can't blame her. YOU try getting killed, die, then come back to me and tell me how you feel.
I hugged her once she got herself together, stroking her hair once more. "You scared us, you know..."
"Yea" She breathed. "I know. Sorry."
"for the sake of all of us, you promise not to get yourself into this mess again? Promis me."
"Promise." She said. THis only relaxed me a little.
MPOV
"Promise," I said, though I'm not too sure I can keep that promise...
As soon as he released me I was immeditaely hugged by Ange, Nudge, and Gazzy.
When Ig got his turn he hugged me, saying , "You know you died, for like, two whole, entire, excruciating minutes, right?"
"Yea, yeah, ya big baby. I know. Now cut the crying." i said, laughing at his astonished face.
"You really aren't feeling any different, are you?"
I shook my head. "Umm...No."
Bella came up after the Cullens did and said, "Are you sure you're okay? You did take quite a hit. I mean, you freakin died."
I laughed once more. "Yeea, so I've heard. And I am totally fine, people! Really!" A lie, of course. Inside, I felt sooooo exhausted, like A hundred M-Geeks fought me and won. (That is what the new flyboys are called, right? M-Geeks? Something like that, sry if I'm wrong, I forgot!) But psh, like i'll ever admit it.
We gathered 'round the couch once more and were talking about what to do next when Jacob waked back in the house. He looked tired, probably from scouting, as Rose had filled me in on.
He held up a piece of red cloth and passed it to Carlisle who passed it around all of us. "The Pack and I found this, in one of the bushes on your front lawn."
"The Volturi?" Ig asked, feeling the fabric's color.
"Look's like," Edward replied.
"Greeeattt," I said, "Talk about upsetting someone!"
"Its okay," Alice said assuringly. "WE've dealt with them before, so it's not like they can do anything to try and stop us from stopping them.' Alice said.
...
"Yea, that made total sense." Jasper said, sarcastically. We laughed.
I noticed the kids were getting sleepy. " I think we should call it a day" I gestured to them.
"Okay, well, would you like us to follow you home to be safe?" Esme offered. Aw, how sweet of her.
"Nah," I shook my head, "That's okay. I'm sure we'll be safe, like, one hundred feet in the air." I chuckled as the flock and I went outside.
"Why don't we meet up tomorrow, you kow, hang out and talk about stuff?" Alice suggested.
I nodded. "I guess, I mean, we don't exactly have anything to do now. Except school, but thats not important," I muttered sarcastically.
As we walked out to their front lawn, I noticed The Cullens all stand around the doorway. Emmett grinned at us. "Mind if we watch?"
I grinned back and winked. "Only if you can keep up." I threw my wings open before they could ask what i was talking about. And before they knew it I had used my superspeed to burst my way up in the sky.
I drifted back down, hearing mutters of surprise and motioned for everyone else to fly up next to me.
Once we were all afely in the air, we all waved down before taking off into the night-sky.
It's sad, really, I thought as we flew, that everyone didnt know what really happened to me...but me, that is.
Well, actually, no...I lie. I don't know what happened. But I had a pretty good feeling my Voice did. However, you all must be wondering, 'Well, ask it, for Christ's sake!' Yea, well, you try getting killed just about an hour earlier. You're pretty tired, I'll tell ya. I rrreeeaaaaaallllly didn't feel up to arguing with something that has the power to give me killer migraines.
We landed in five minutes and stepped into the house, all of us dead beat tired.
I was the first up the stairs.
Avoid Fang, Max. I heard Ange say in my head.
She startled me, causing me to almost stumble.
Huh? Why?
I heard her sigh. He's just about ready to interrogate you. He doesnt believe that nothing happened, nothing changed at all. You know, frankly, I don't either. What really happened Max? Are you sure you're—
Angel please do not throw so many questions at me inside my own head. I thought, gritting my teeth in frustration. Do not become a second Voice. At least ask me in person! And do me a favor and keep an eye on Fang.
A couple minutes later I was settled in my room. Um...Max? I kinda-maybe-sorta lost sight of Fang.
"What?" I said aloud. I immediately locked my door and ran over to my french doors, locking those as well.
Oh nevermind, he was out in the garage.
I sighed in irritation. Ange? Mind giving me some privacy?
Oh...ok Max! Feel better!
Thank you sweetie.
I walked into the bathroom and splashed some cool water onto my face after changing into a pair of PJ's—white shorts and a blue tank.
Drying my face, I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked...beat. Like a total mess. Not very invincible-Max in the least.
I shook my head in disappointment and flopped onto my bed, flipping on my iPod. A gift from my mom on my 16th Birthday.
I shuffled my songs and heard the song Supergirl by Suzie McNeil.
I'm the life of the party, so contagious
All the boys wanna catch me, but I'm just playin'
One-two come and see what I can do
Two-three everybodys after me
Three-four let me tell you what's in store
Let's go everybody on the floor
I'm supergirl, I'm everywhere
Those flashing lights
They stop and stare
I'm fire red, I'm one more rule
I'm in your head and everybody knows
I'm-I'm, I'm supergirl
I'm the perfect disaster
You can't stop me
Coming faster and faster
But you just watch me
(You just watch me)
Five-six don't you want a little fix
Countdown get a little crazy now
Nine-ten see me want to ruin them
Hold on ready here we go again
I'm supergirl, I'm everywhere
Those flashing lights
They stop and stare
I'm fire red, I'm one more rule
I'm in your head and everybody knows
I'm-I'm, I'm supergirl
Walking every wire
Set the world on fire
No one's shining brighter
Oh, oh, oh~
I'm suprergirl
I'm Supergirl
I'm everywhere
Those flashing lights they stop and stare
I'm fire red
I'm in your head
Everybody knows
I'm Supergirl
Supergirl
(Supergirl)
Supergirl...
...and I'm pretty sure by the time this ended I was conked out.
,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,,;,
"C'mon Max, wake up!" someone said, shaking me by the shoulder. Okay...Not used to that voice.
"Oh my gosh, Max, get UP! We have so much to do today!" Yup, I'm definitely used to that voice.
I cracked my eyes open just a smidge and caught the excited faces of Alice and Nudge. Blinking, I noticed Rosalie appear in my sight, a smug smile on her face.
I groaned...all the girly girls are in my room-waking me up!
"Oh fantastic! You're up!" Alice squealed, clapping.
Nudge pulled me up into a sitting position, then Rose pulled me off the bed and shoved me into the bathroom. "Enjoyyy!"
All the while Nudge was blabbering. I metally smacked myself in my brain. Who turned the Nudge Channel on? At eight in the morning?
I caught the words "...outfit on the back of the door..." from Nudge and "...meet the guys at the mall-Bella and Edward took Angel out and OMG..." From Alice.
I took a quick shower before pulling my hair in a ponytail and putting on my outfit. The top was white, and had splashes of silver on it. The bottoms were simple black-jean shorts. I found a pair of black converse slip ons in the corner. I opened the door and talked while I had their attention. "Okay," I said, holding up my hands. "So the guys are already there, and Edward and Bella took Ange where?"
"Well actually Edward, Esme and Carlise took Ange and Gazzy out. Give them a little morning wake up," Rose said with a wink.
"Ah," I said, "vampire-style?"
"Oh, a little run on a vamp won't hurt!" Alice said.
I chuckled. "Nah, I guess not. But—uh—why are we going to mall when we already have a full wardrobe of clothes?"
"Weeellllll, just a couple extra outfits won't be a problem, will it?" Nudge asked.
I blinked, not answering.
"Okay then!" Alice clapped her hands together. "Let's get going!"
So there I was, being dragged off into Alice's black sports-car, off to a new version of "hell".
We got to the mall in ten minutes with Alice's fast driving. Walking up to the food court, where we were supposed to meet the guys, I saw Fang and Iggy sitting at a table with Emmett and Jasper. Emmett looked like he was talking and pointing toward his phone looking angry. Sadly everyone else had to sit and listen. The bored look on Fang and Jasper's face was priceless!
"There they are" I said pointing toward them. We started walking around all the tables because if we walked through them I knew we would be surrounded with all the people. I was about to call out Fang's name but then some guys stepped in front of Alice, Rose, Nudge, and I. There were seven guys and the one in front was raking his eyes up and down my body. Some guys can be such sexist pigs!
"Hey baby, do you and your friends want to spend some time with us, we can take turns" he said. I think that was supposed to be his flirty, seductive voice...but it sounded more like a bad imitation of Elvis.
"Yeah...this look you were going for?...You kind of messed it up. Now move." I tried to step around them but one guy stepped in front of me. I looked behind them and noticed Iggy look up at me. He saw our situation and hit Fang in the arm then pointed to us.
"You're not going anywhere we're still talking." This other guy could actually be cute if he wasn't such a sexist pig and he kind of looked like he's been smoking some things that weren't cigarettes... if you know what I mean.
"Oh really? And which of the seven dwarfs are you—Dopey?" The girls chuckled behind me. I saw Fang and Iggy get up from there seats with Emmett and Jasper right behind them. The guys in front of me smiled a creepy perverted smile and stepped closer. I stepped back a step and gave him a look that said, 'Werido alert! Call 911!' I don't know his name but for now I'm going to call him Creepy Perve, CP for short.
"Hm...Feisty, just the way we like 'em." His friends behind him started smiling the same smile he had on his face. Fang and the guys were trying to walk over but I could see them being swallowed into the swarm of people in the food court. That's exactly why we went around the tables, I thought.
"I call dibs, I like this one" he said stepping closer. He even had the nerve to put his hand on my hip!
"Did I mention the kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you touch me again?" I said, slapping his hand away from me.
"Ha-you're funny, and I think I'll die happy if I could see you naked."
"Really." I raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah." His eyes were looking up and down my body again. He is really starting to annoy me!
"Well I think I'll die laughing if I see you naked." Some of the guys behind him started snickering along with my girls.
"Please, baby you know you want this," CP said pointing…down there, " if you like 'em nice and big." Ew gross! Did he seriously say that? It is official! He is disgusting! I think I picked out the right name for him!
"Um—newsflash! A hard-on does not count as personal growth." I could hear the girls burst out in laughter, unable to keep silent even if this situation was serious. So were the group of guys behind CP, but I heard an extra few laughs behind me and turned around. Our guys were standing behind me. Jasper and Fang looked like they were about to kill these guys and Emmett and Iggy looked like they were trying to hold back more laughter.
"You know what? I'm getting tired of you tryin' to clown me." CP said, grinding his teeth.
"And I'm tired of you trying to hit on m—our friends" Fang said stepping up beside me.
"Yeah? Well guess what—we're talking to your friends-so back off." CP stepped up to Fang trying to act all tough. I noticed none of the guys behind CP backed him up, they actually looked scared of Fang.
"I don't think I will." Fang stepped closer. His glare looked deadly, he can really look scary when he wanted to. The term 'if looks could kill...' popped into my head.
CP's eyes widened a bit like he was scared then stepped back and looked at me. I just folded my arms then smiled at him. He scowled then walked off with his friends following behind him.
"Wow Max that 'hard-on' comment was pretty funny" Iggy said, still laughing. Fang turned around and looked at me.
"Thank you Igs." I said turning around and giving him a wink.
Jasper nodded to Fang as if saying 'Nice one.' Fang smirked back before looking at me and raising an eyebrow. I smiled and nodded in a 'Im fine' gesture.
After Emmett an Jasper had checked their girls Emmett high fived me. I high five him back with a confused expression.
He laughed some more. "Funny stuff, Max, Funny stuff!"
"What's so funny now?" we heard.
We turned around and found Bella and Edward standing with Gazzy and Angel. Bella looked at us expectantly. "Wellllll...?"
Iggy and Emmett slapped each other before laughing again and taking turn exposing the story.
Once the laughing festival was over with, us bird-kids (and Bella) got something to eat and joined the Cullens back at a table. "So," I said, setting down my tray, "where're the 'Parents'?"
"They never really come around with us to this type of thing," Edward said.
I frowned. "Then why did I come?"
Bella grinned. "Well, if you didn't come along then that mini-comedy act wouldn't have happened, now, would it?
I grumbled in disagreement, eating my food.
