Okay here is the next chapter, everyone. You might recognize the dream from somewhere. Please read and Review.
Disclaimer: The characters of Maximum Ride, as is not the idea in the dream.
Claimer: any new plot twist are mine, and how I recycled the dream is my idea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was running, running fast, ignoring the sticks and stones under my bare feet, ignoring the cuts on my arm from the briars. I had to get away, my life depended on it. I was running away from everything I ever knew. From the cruelty, and experiments, from the cages and tests, I was running from it all. Then I heard the monotonic drone of a Flyboy "I am one of many, you can not run, we will capture you." I could outrun any human that I knew, but I couldn't out run robots. Come, come on, I need a clearing. Yes! No, oh no, no a cliff, it will have to do. I jumped to what for any normal human would have been a death leap, but I wasn't ordinary. I unfurled my wings, letting the air catch them, and then pumped my muscles hard until I was high in the sky. I was really flying like I always knew I could, like I always dreamed of.
"You're not getting me today!" I screamed back, no, not today, I was going to live to see tomorrow. Then out of nowhere a red laser dot appeared on my chest, they had guns, I was dead. God oh god please let me live, let me be free…
I sat up in bed sweating, the dream, it was back, but with some new twist. Out of old habit I checked my nighties to make sure the red dot was gone, it was, good. When was the last time I had that dream? It was forever ago… Right it was when they kidnapped Angel, and our whole freaking journey began. "God, no. (Insert cuss word of your choice here)"
"What, what's wrong? Max are you okay?" Ella was up next to me.
"Yah, I'm fine just, just a really disturbing dream."
"Really, I don't think that's enough. What was the dream about?" Only Fang had ever really known me that well.
"Nothing much."
"Did it have something to do with Itex?"
Could I lie for much longer? Come on Max, think, come on you have to have a cover story, oh great I know "Not, really. Just…"
"Max, I know you're about to lie, just tell the truth, I'll go get Fang if that would help."
Alright, Ella is officially as crafty as Iggy when it comes to hitting your weakness. "Just, it's the dream I had before our whole story began. The one I had the night before they took Angel, sending us to save her. Then making us save the world and lose our home."
"What happens in the dream?"
"Does it matter?" I really didn't like to think about it, the dream was always so real; I don't like feeling that close to death.
"Not really. Will you be able to sleep?"
I thought, truthfully, probably not, but Ella doesn't need to know "Yah." The rest of the night I lay silent, thinking what it could mean, hoping nothing, just my conscience freaking out. But you know with us that you can never be too safe.
