Rose: Why the hell did you take me out of the story?

Me: Because, I needed a plot bunny.

Rose: WHAT THE HELL?! I am NOT a plot bunny!

Me: -Laughs- Sure, whatever. So, Rose, by the way you look, I could be your twin. -evil smiles- -holds up knife in the light-

Rose: God help me now...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maximum Ride. If I did, Fang wouldn't have left.

Me: If I were to get a plot animal, what would it be, what would it look like, and what would be it's name?

Rose: It would be black, dark purple, and red, it would be a flying... cat and it's name would be Tali.

Me: -giggles like the girl I am not- Yes, I am that obsessed with NCIS. If you do not know what I'm talking about, Tali is Ziva's dead sister.

Rose: -Gibbs Slaps- Stop right there with the NCIS stuff.

Me: -glares- Don't make me make you get shot.

Rose: -looks down- Fine...


Chapter 21: We're Here To Save The Day. Or Not.

Rose POV: The Next Day.

We were only twenty miles away from the Dead Sea, but it would take about an hour to find out where the building Aaron and Fang were at. Also, it would take another two hours to infiltrate the building without being caught.

"Are we there yet?" Nudge asked, flapping her wings slowly.

I groaned and ran a hand through my hair, "No Nudge, and we weren't there five, ten, fourteen, and twenty minutes ago either!" I hissed. See? This is why I am never going to have kids, if I can even have them. Wow. Where did that thought come from?

You miss Aaron. Angel chimed in my head.

I turned to her, "Yeah, I do, but why would I think... that?" I asked with an arched eyebrow.

Angel just giggled and flew to where Nudge was, who, after a few seconds, was laughing also.

I sighed and flew up to Melinda and Max, who were talking intently about something but stopped abruptly when I got within ear-shot.

"What are you guys talking about?"


Max POV

"How can he die?" I questioned Melinda.

"I don't know! That's what I've been trying to find out! It's just not coming! I don't even know how or even when it's going to happen!" Melinda said frustrated.

We both shut up when we saw Rose get within ear-shot. She flew up to us, "What are you guys talking about?" She asked.

"Twilight." Melinda said no to quickly. I got her logic. What? Twilight is a subject everyone can fall back on.

Rose scoffed, "Max is a Twilight fan?"

"No, I'm not. Melinda here was trying to get me into Twilight here and I really, really, don't want to." I shot Melinda a glare.

She laughed, "I'm right there with ya Max. Anyway, Melinda, why do you even like it?" Rose asked me.

"Because it has vampires. Granted it has sparkily stalker vampires. But I mainly like the pack." Thank God for her smartness.

"Oo-kay... I'm going to fly back slowly now..." She said slowly and dropped back to Nudge and Angel.

I looked at Melinda, "Well that was close." I whispered.

"Sure was."


Fang POV: Same time.

"When are they going to be here?" I whispered into the darkness. So far we had been upgraded to handcuffs, but not the medal kind, the kind that mall cops use. Oh, and we had black cloth sacks placed over our heads.

Aaron sighed, "Soon." He answered simply.

Okay, I now know why people get pissed off when I don't talk.


Dr. Higgins POV

Damn. They're almost here. They can't be here, not yet at least.

"Phoenix!" I called out after I saw him pass my office door.

Phoenix quickly turned around and walking into my office, "What?" He spat acidly.

I raised an eyebrow, "Gather the best team to hold off the experiments coming. Do not, and I repeat, do not, kill them." I said leaning back in my chair.

He smiled wickedly, "Will do."


Melinda POV

"Rose! Duck!" I yelled out just as an Eraser took a swing at Rose, but luckily she ducked.

"BEHIND YOU!" Angel screamed at me.

I quickly turned around and caught the fist that was about to hit the back of my neck. "Bad idea." I hissed.

I shot my leg up and kicked the Eraser in...well, the place he did not want to be kicked.

The Eraser fell towards the land below us and landed with a puff of dust came around him.

Then I felt a hand and cloth cover my mouth and everything went black.


Max POV

I saw an Eraser put a cloth over Melinda's mouth and she fell limp.

And the the same thing happened to me.

The cloth and furry hand covered my mouth and I passed out.


Rose POV

I watched as everyone passed out one by one and knew I was next.

But I was fighting my ass off.

Sadly, my fighting didn't last long because one of the bigger Erasers got me in a head lock and everything started to go fuzzy.

Well this isn't good.


Rose: So, I thought you said you now had a flying plot cat. Where is she?

Me: Right here. -holds up Tali- But I don't know what she's saying.

Tali: Mew merw mew. Meeerrp. Meerow mer meer.

Rose: She says; 'Why, Dani, why? Idiot. Let me go.'

Me: -eye widened- How could you Tali? After I gave you wings.

Tali: Mewer, eerep meeerrp, mewr wer pur mwerw mer metrs merm merer wmiwgs?

Rose: She says; 'Because, you idiot, how is it normal for cats to have wings?'

Me: I made you, I can kill you too. -growls-

Rose&Tali: -shuts up-

Me: REVIEW!
