WOOP!!! 368 hits!!! Oh, well, I have been wallowing in self pity for the past few days, so sorry if I haven't updated in a few days. The reason I have been wallowing in self pity is because I am stupid, I was running to the car with my violin case, but of course something had to happen. Whistles running, my --hard-- violin case came up and hit my finger, thus causing me to sprain my finger. That has happened before, but the last time it happened it was raining and I was in 4th grade. So yea, I haven't been typing so fast. Thus causing me to have a late update.
Also, sorry if this chapter gets off-track, I was kinda brain-spaced. And I was reading 'The brothers grimm' and 'the sisters grimm'. It's kinda weird how fairy tales have so many deaths in them... And the only reason I read them is because I need the folk-lore for an English project. Since I'm in honors I have to come up with my own fairy-tale person and stuff like that, it kinda gets on my nerves that they only give us a week for a dead-line.
IMPORTANT!: If anyone (And I mean ANYone) out there reading this is a good drawer, please, if you want, you can draw pics for the story. Because I SUCK at drawing. The only thing I can draw is weird patterns on graph paper. But whoever wants to draw out parts in the story, you can wait for more epic-er parts. So now for the disclaimer...
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride, JP does. (Do I really have to put this every time?) I do not own anything else but the plot and my OC's. (Which in this chapter is Rose, Aaron, Alec, and Melinda.)
Oh, and every place said in here is 100% real.
Chapter 12: The Time For Flight.
Rose POV: Still at the hotel, after everyone has their things together.
"Okay, from here we fly to Nova Scotia, and from Nova Scotia we fly to St. Pierre near the Island of Newfoundland, but when we're there we need to land in the mountains. In St. Pierre we need to stock up on food, water, and energy. Once we've rested for a few hours in St. Pierre we have a long flight to Nuuk in Greenland, and from there we cross Greenland to the other side and then we fly to Reykjavik, Iceland. From Iceland we have to stop at Torshavn on a small island and then from there go to Ireland, and we map out the route from Ireland to the Dead Sea. Everyone understand?" I asked.
There were nodded of agreement, "Why can't we go on a plane? I mean, it would be easier than flying for so long. And the plane would have food an--" Nudge said but I cut her off.
"Nudge, they are going to be people there if we go on a plane, and not everything is easy. Sometimes the harder way is the best for everyone even though it takes a while." I said standing up.
"Everyone ready?" Max asked getting up and standing next to me. Everyone nodded.
I smirked, "Then let's go save them." And we were off.
Aaron POV: In the dark cell, still.
God, I'm so stupid. I should have known that this would happen. This ne--
My mental rant got cut off by the cell-like door opening. A few seconds later Fang got thrown in. I got a glance of what he looked like before the door got closed, and damn, he looked really bad. He was bleeding a lot from a few wounds and had fist-size bruises everywhere.
"What the hell happened to you?" The question just slipped out of my mouth.
"Well, I got beat up. I saw Max, Phoenix didn't. I talked to Max, she hugged me and said she was dreaming. Then she disappeared. Does that answer it?" Fang answered.
I felt my eyes go wide, "Wow, didn't expect that to happen yet." I said to myself.
"What do you mean, 'didn't expect that to happen yet'?"
Sighing, I said, "I didn't expect that to happen to you and Max yet. Did she say anything about feeling the same thing you were?"
Fang was silent for about a minute, "Yep." He said in a state of thinking.
The door re-opened again, but this time it was my turn to be beat up. Great. Not.
Max POV: More than 8 hours later after last female line-break.
We finally landed on a pier-like thing in Nova Scotia. But then, of course, Nudge piped up and said, "I'm hungry."
I laughed a little, "Of course." I muttered. "Hey, Rose, do you know anywhere around here where they won't through us out if we eat to much?" I added as a later thought.
A smile spread on her face, "Yup. Now it's time for you guys to go meet Alec. And no, he does not have a real name, I named him Alec 'cause he's a smart-alec." Rose said starting to walk down the board-walk. Then she paused and turned around, "Come on! He's a mutant too!" And with that she turned back around and continued walking. Sometimes I think she might be bipolar. I mean, someone you care about gets kidnapped and you're sad and then you're happy? It just doesn't make sense.
I shook my head then followed, the Flock trailing behind me.
Rose POV: About 15 minutes later, at Boon Docks Dining Room & Lounge.
"Yo, Alec! Get your ass over here!" I called out. The BDDR&L (Boon Docks Dining Room & Lounge) was already closed but I knew that Alec would be the last one here.
Alec stepped out of the back, then his ice blue eyes snapped up at me. He smirked and walked over to me and ruffled my hair, just like always.
"What'cha doin' here, Rosie?" He asked using the nick-name he always used, and always will.
I stuck my tongue out at him, "Aaron got kidnapped. And I'm not the only one here." I said shrugging, then called over my shoulder, "Come out guys, it's safe."
The Flock stepped into the BDDR&L, "Ooh, this place is SO cool!" Nudge said looking around.
Max walked up to us, "Okay, so we need a lot of food." Way to be blunt, Max...
"Wow, she's really blunt. Almost as blunt as you, Rose. All the best food is in the back, so let me go get that. It might take a couple of minutes, but the foods good." Alec said turning around and going to the kitchen.
I motioned the Flock to follow me to the biggest table. Once all of us sat down the food was already done and on three big platers.
Alec set the platers down and stepped back, "Enjoy, it's the best on the island." He said then added, "Okay, maybe not the best, but still, it's good." And he slid in next to me. Okay, don't start thinking that I like him, I do, but in a brother sort of way. Like that older brother you've always wanted, but better. He's also kinda like a dad to me and a really really close cousin to Aaron, because if Alec was like a brother to Aaron then it would be like Aaron was my brother, which would be to awkward...
Anyways, back to the conversion. "So, are you guys like Rose?" Alec asked brushing back his sandy blonde/grey-ish hair, yea, I know, it's weird that a 17 year old guy would have grey hair. But the reason for that is because Alec is part wolf, like Aaron, but we think that his wolf DNA might come from a Mexican Wolf, everything supports that but his cold ice blue eyes.
Max nodded, as if speaking for the whole flock, "Yea, but she might be more avian than us. So are you like us?" She answered shrugging.
Alec shook his head, "No. I'm part wolf like Aaron, as you probably know." And there goes the smart-alec again... Hmm, by the way Alec was looking at Max, I could tell he kinda liked her. Oh crap, not the Melinda thing all over again... That's the reason she moved to Ireland.
I Gibbs-slapped him (Yes, I am addicted to NCIS, I first watched it a week after I got out of the School the first time.) and gave him a death glare, "Don't be doing what I think you're doing." I growled.
His eye-brows furrowed, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Alec ground out.
"It's the Melinda thing all over again!" I said, my voice getting louder and louder. "And guess what, sherlock? She doesn't even like you!" Now I was standing up and looking down at him.
Alec glared at me before saying, "And how do you know that?"
The Flock was just staring at us confused, minus Angel who had read our minds, and to top that off, she was grinning like she had just got her birth-day wish of a pony. Max turned to Angel and then Angel answered Max's look by saying, "Alec likes you. A lot."
Alec and Max's eyes widened and then everyone, minus the two, started laughing. Then Max leaned forward, "Sorry to break it to ya, but Aaron's not the only one that we're going there to save." And Alec seemed to understand what she meant 'cause then he got up and asked, "Drink orders?"
Once we all got finished with what we wanted to drink Alec disappeared to the back once more.
I heard Max sigh and looked at her, she was leaning back in the chair and kept wincing every few seconds. Great, she's feeling more pain from Fang's half of the connection. I thought to myself. Or so I thought it was to myself.
How can you tell? I can't even get past her mind-block. Angel said in my mind (Wow, no normal person would ever say that. Well, I'm not normal.).
I sighed, Just trust me Angel. I thought back.
"Who's Melinda?" Max's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I blinked a few times, "What? Oh, well, she's like us. She kinda looks like Fang, but she's a she. And she's a little different than us..." I trailed off.
"What does that mean?" Max asked glaring at me. I guess she likes answers quickly.
I gave a nervous smile, "Uh, about that... She's kinda sorta like a witch..." I trailed off again.
"Ooh, that's so cool! Oh! Does she ride on a broom-stick! Wait, you said she looked like Fang. Does she have normal skin and not, like, green skin and worts and st--" I cut Nudge off.
"Those are all myths. I don't even know where people get the worts, green skin, and broom-stick stuff. It's crazy. But yeah, she looks like Fang, meaning she has dark black hair, black wings, and black eyes. But Mel's eyes have flecks of a yellow-orange color in them, like a cats." I said taking a bite of some type of sandwich I was to lazy to remember the name of.
Iggy looked impressed, "So, a real life witch. Cool."
I smiled, "And she's a pyro, too." Gazzy and Iggy perked up the second I said pyro. I just rolled my eyes, "You'll be able to meet her in Ireland." I added as a second thought.
Alec came back with all the drinks but stopped when he saw us all evilly grinning at him. "I'm going to back away slowly now..." He said slowly placing the drinks on the table and backing up. Once we turned back to the drinks I knew he ran out of there. I love scaring him like that.
"We should finish up here and get a few hours of sleep then St. Pierre." I said getting up, "Yo, Alec! We're leaving, bye!" I called out. With that the rest of the Flock got up and we went to the hotel.
IMPORTANT: Just so everyone knows, and so I don't get asked this a lot, Melinda is NOT Fang's long lost sister or something like that, she just looks like him, meaning she has dark eyes, hair, and wings. That's all for this important message. But I just got a thought, it would be kinda cool if Mel was Fang's sister...
Wow, long chapter! R&R, wait, R&R means Read&Review, but if you're reading this it means that you've already read it so it should only be R. So, R!
