Hi peepoles! I'm sorry that I haven't updated for a while, and don't worry, I'm not gonna waste time on writing a useless excuse for you. But, the reason that I haven't updated is-
Iggy: -sighs- You're not very good at writing Author notes at the start, are you?
Me: Okay, he's the reason that I haven't updated.
Iggy: WHAT! I'm the one always reminding you to write this fanfic!!!
Me: -Rolls eyes- What I mean is, I recently got ahold of Iggy, and we've been spending time writing a fanfic together and getting to know each other :D
Iggy: Even if I really don't want to be here....
Me: It's your own fault that you're here in the first place!
Iggy: -grumbles- Just thank your reviewers!
Randomitis Sufferer: Me: Yes the Flock are awesome, and they will make it! Iggy: Of course we're awesome!!!! We're like super hero's and we deserve to have action figures, no matter what Max says!!!!!! Me: Ig, let it go.....
Maximumfreak96: Me: Here's the update for ya..... :D Iggy: .......hope you like it Me: AWWWW, you're finishing my sentence for me :D:D:D:D Iggy: That's just because you're so freaking repetitive! Me: -shrugs-
LovelyNBlue: Me: Yeah, she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.......just like her father. Iggy:...........No comment. I don't particularly want to talk about my daughter that doesn't exist yet........ Me: -Laughs- thanx for reviewing, and you made Iggy feel awkward, congrats :D
Midge 1012: Me: Thanx :D Iggy: Reviews make her happy, and she's nicer to me than usual when she gets them.... Me: -sighs- we've had this conversation before- Iggy: No point in arguing about it now!
Orange Lamourghini 7: Me: Now, I would like to add FAX, but, there are some issues with that. 1) They are trying to rescue their kids and they are very tense. 2) This story is more about the kids than the flock anyway. 3)- Iggy: I AM AWESOME BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!! Me: Okay.......that was random, but 3) They don't need to stop at a hotel because..... just read to find out. Thanx 4 the compliments :D
Rainbow Wings: Me: Thanx, as usual :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Iggy: HI! Me: Why are you so happy all of a sudden? Iggy: -Shrugs- Me: Okay then......right.......... Oh, and u didn't burn my eyes, your reviews are always awesome!!!! :D
Razamataz: Me: I am not a better writer than u! Look at it this way, you have more reviews than I do, so more people enjoy your story than mine :D Iggy: Exactly! Don't bag yourself, Raz! We all know that you're a wwwaaaaaayyyyyyy better writer than Bell, as she completely sucks! Me: -whacks with herring- Raz, when u come over, u and Jov are helping me get him under wraps!!!! So far, Saint has been helping me, but I need more re-enforcements!!!! Iggy: This can't be good.....
XxXOnlyMeXxX: Me: Don't worry about- Iggy: Yes you should be angry at yourself for not reviewing and- Me: -Whacks- Ignore him......I still need to get him under control :D Anyway, don't worry about not reviewing, it's all good. And, I think that my grammar may be a bit sloppy in this chapter as well..... Iggy: A BIT! More like a lot!! Me :-sighs- thanx 4 the review :D
Me: Can you try to be more helpful when it comes to thanking the awesome people??!!!!!!
Iggy: Nope.
Me: Anyway guys, u know the BIG cliffie that I was talking about? Well, it's in this chapter!
Iggy: -gasp-
me: I know, I don't know whether you'll like it or not, but, it's happening anyway......
Iggy: I don't like where this is going.......
Me: Well, here you go.......:S
We were dragged down the hall by the flyboys, with the whitecoats leading the way. After walking for what seemed like hours through the halls, we came to a stop at another door with lots of locks. This one was different to the last one, as it didn't have nearly as many locks, but it was still heavily guarded.
We were then hauled through the door to be met by the very uninviting dog crates that were at the back of the room. We were all thrown in and all the whitecoats left, except for one. He turned to face me with an angered expression.
"You three have been nothing but trouble. In a few hours, someone's going to come and talk to you to set you straight," He said with ice dripping off his words.
I didn't say anything, but I glared harshly at him before he left the room.
"We were so close...." Aaliya said a few minutes later.
I sighed, "I know, but don't give up! We'll get out of here!" But even as I said these words, I didn't believe them myself.
I looked over at Hunter who had his knees drawn up to his chest and was saying nothing. He looked so broken, so lost, so sad. I wanted to wrap him in a hug, but there were bars blocking us from each other.
I leaned back against the crate and closed my eyes. We hadn't had much sleep and I thought that this would be a good time to do so.
Especially before this person comes to talk to us....
I woke with a start to the sound of our cages being unlocked, and the sight of hairy hands coming in through the entrance of the cage and hauling me out.
They couldn't let us sleep, now could they? I thought angrily.
And, once again, we were dragged down the endless halls and then thrown in another room.........But, this time, we weren't alone.
A plump man with snow white hair was standing at the back of the room and fiercely looking down at us. I took one look at him and, to put it simply, he looked very old and cranky.
"I am ter Borcht," he said in a weird accent. I could just hear Aaliya and Hunter stifle giggles.
"I hear dat you haven't been co-operating vell vith us lately, is dat correct?"
"Well, you could say that. Or you could say that we just don't think that you have any right to run our lives, Tomato face." I swear that they planted a tomato on top of his chubby body to make a tomato-hybrid. It was seriously that red.
He glared at me with those little beady eyes of his and then took a few steps towards me. He then leaned in so that his face was inches from mine.
"You must be Maximum's daughter, correct?" He asked and I could hear the hatred in his voice as he said her name.
"I can see that you remember her, I'm guessing that she must've been a handful too." I answered back quietly, but menacingly.
He leaned away from me and stood up straight, without taking his eyes away.
"How could I forget dat little brat? Alvays talking back, not doing vhat she vas told, making us and de erasers look like stupid jokes....."
"Well, that's not that difficult, borchy," I cut in, while glaring at him.
"Yes, you're definitely Maximum's daughter. But, you know, she never did get vhat vas coming to her. She vould alvays get avay vith making dose snide comments to us. But, de ding is...." He leaned in until he was face to face with me again.
".....we learnt vhat her veakness vas. And, if you are anything like her, which I can see dat you are, you vill have the same veakness too."
Oh no, I suddenly knew what was coming next. I could tell what it was from the information that we read, from the movie we watched and from knowing my mother and myself too well.
ter Borcht slowly became upright and motioned for the flyboys to follow him. He took a few steps over to where Aaliya sat and the flyboys pulled her to her feet. They held her in their iron grip and she struggled to get free.
My heart started to pound wildly in my chest as ter Borcht started to smile wickedly. I stood up and tried to get over to Aaliya but I couldn't get past the flyboys.
"I swear, if you do anything to hurt her I will kill you." I said, ice dripping off my words, and my fists clenched into tight fists.
"Don't worry, Heaven. We're not going to hurt her."
"Then what are you going to do? Put her on a beach in Hawaii where she will live happily for the rest of her life? I highly doubt it Tubby."
He ignored my comment, but answered my question.
"Let's just say dat ve have an experiment dat ve're going to try on her dat ve have been developing over de years. Ve are almost certain dat ve von't fail it dis time, but dere is a chance dat ve could." And with that, he and the flyboys left, leaving me and Hunter all alone in the room.
I racked my brain, trying to think about what he could mean by that. Suddenly, I understood.
My heart skipped a beat and my breath froze in my chest.
I knew what was going to happen.
I ran up to the door and tried to pry it open, but it was no use. I started to pound my fists on the door and shout at them to open it up but I knew that I was completely ignored.
I pressed my back against the door and slid down until I was sitting on the ground. I dropped my head into my hands and wished that this wasn't happening, but it was.
Aaliya was going to have the night vision surgery her father had twenty years ago, that left him blind forever.
And it was all my fault.......
As it turns out, it didn't take us as long as expected to get to the School. I guess that as we got older, we became faster flyers and our powers got enhanced. We hovered over the school and took in our surroundings.
I was really nervous.
Even just looking at this place made the unwanted memories come flooding back like a tidal wave, but I pushed them back down. I could feel the anger burning inside me and my hands clenched and unclenched at my sides as we looked down on it.
I felt Fang's hand on my shoulder and I turned and met his eyes. Even though his face showed no emotion, as usual, I could see it all in his eyes. Fear, anger, worry.....He was feeling the same way that I was feeling. I nodded slightly before turning to the rest of the Flock. They all wore determined looks and were ready for action.
"Okay everyone, we're going in."
Iggy: Tell me what's gonna happen next!!!!!!
Me: Nope, why should I?
Iggy: Because I'm your friend!
me: Oh, so noooowwwwww you're my friend! -sigh- I'll read you the next chapter when I write it, but, until then, you're not getting a word out of me!
Iggy: Fine, I'll just keep annoying you until you write more of it!
Me: Well, it looks like you won't have to wait too long for the next update cause I'm gonna have Ig on my back........
R&R?!
Bell and Ig
