(MAX POV)
"max..." fang moaned in his sleep for the hundredth time. Startling He woke up immediately. "max?" he looked at me confused and I smiled. "morning fang." I greeted. "uh, mornin' mind explaining this situation here?" he asked. "oh, dunno, just wanted to wake you up niceley I guess..." I shrugged and pecked him on the lips. "mmmm..." he hummed. "so, what are we doing about maya?" I asked.
"well, I think we should ask angel to get any information that we don't have from her, then we can see what to do from there." fang said, stretching his arms. "how will we know if its me?" I asked. "1: you have shorter and lighter hair, 2: you have that necklace I got you, and 3: you are the real max and I can tell the difference." fang stated. "i love you, come on lets get downstairs and get angel."
I said, walking up to the door. "uhm, I need a uh, cold shower first..." fang mumbled, walking to our bathroom. "sorry babe." I giggled. I closed our door and walked downstairs to find angel still asleep on the couch. I walked over to her and gently picked her up and laid her head in my lap, stroking her hair. "max?" she asked yawning. "yeah baby?" I asked her. "morning!" she said happily sitting up and facing me to give me a hug.
"angel, why don't you come upstairs with me and we can see what were gonna do about maya." I said. "okay." she said, skipping upstairs. I went to Ashley's room and opened the door to find Ashley and rick with the covers pulled up to their shoulders, and their arms around each other... oh shit they had sex! Fang would be pissed! Fuck! "hey! Get up!" I whisper yelled. "hmphg?"
rick asked stretching. "you two had sex! Get up before fang finds out! Ill keep him at bay1 you two get dressed, now did you use a condom or not! Don't lie, if you did we need to sneak her test!" I whisper yelled once again at the groggy kid on the bed.
"yeah, and ashley's on birth control to regulate her period. So were fine, but I think a test would be nice just to make sure, cuz then we'll know for sure, it would make her feel a bit safer." he said, yawning. "at least you care about her, I cant judge you, I mean, look at me, but you cant keep doing this! Not here at least!" I said. "i know." he said, "get her up and dressed, we have a busy day!"
I yelled. I walked back upstairs and into the spare bedroom with angel, fang and maya in it. "hey max, lets get this started." angel said cheerfully. She grabbed the drowsy limp maya by the collar and slapped her hard across the face. "gah!" she whimpered. "look at me!" angel yelled... I'm proud of my baby! "look at me hoe! WHO SENT YOU HERE!" angel yelled, staring into her eyes until the so familiar milk chocolate turned to black, and a look of daze formed over maya's familiar face.
"itex. The only few scientists left want the bird children, they want to test them, they sent us, their only loyal test subjects, besides the flyboys, to take them. We just thought that we could take the people that we love for an extra prize. They have abandoned the mission to make us fall in love with max and fang. We just thought that we could get the plans going again for the dynasty if we got max and fang to love us. But we cannot seem to break the bond between them, it is too strong." maya said, a far away look in her eye. "angel, ask her where the last few itex people are, and who they are." I said.
"who are the last few itex people and where are they!" angel screamed, slapping maya across the face once more, other hand still holding onto her shirt collar with a death grip. "brigid, she is in arizona in the apartments near iggy and ella. Gozen, the uber-director, the director, and omega are all in a tiny lab at the bottom of the grand canyon, there are only a few experiments living there, such as me, omega, Dylan and the flyboys. Their main purpose is you. All of you." maya said.
"anything else max?" angel asked me. "how tight is the security?" I asked. "how tight is the security bitch!" angel said, slapping her across the face once again, it was unnecessary but she seemed to be liking it, and what ever suited angel at this moment suited me.
"not very high, the only people guarding it are twenty flyboys, then inside the doors of the small lab is omega, and twenty flyboys at the front and back entrances. And me omega, and Dylan are always on call if anything were to happen." maya said. "okay ange. Lets tie her up, fang, get the cam corder." I instructed. I grabbed my phone from my pajama pocket and dialed nudge's number.
"max! Oh em gee! Why are you calling! Is something wrong! Are you pregnant again! What is the sex! Is it a boy or a girl! Personally I really want you to have a girl but if you want a boy it is your opinio-"
"nudge! I'm not pregnant! We know whats happening, were going ot make a ransom video, ill explain later, right now just go to the hospital, tell ella and iggy I wish I could be there, and stand guard for them, got it?"
"course max! Me and gazzy are on it! Love you!"
"love you guys too, and be careful!"
"will do maxie! Bye!
"bye."
I hung up the phone and shoved it back into my pocket, just then fang came back into the room with the camcorder and angel had successfully tied maya into a chair. "okay fang, set the camcorder to face maya, were making a ransom video, our safety, for their experiment." I said. He nodded and set up the camcorder. I stepped behind it and spoke loud and clear.
"I AM MAXIMUM RIDE, IF YOU WISH TO HAVE YOUR EXPIRIMENT BACK, THEN I WILL REQUIRE ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, FOR OUR SAFTEY, AND I DOTN MEAN JUST OURS, I MEAN ALL OF OUR LOVED ONES TOO.
IF YOU WISH TO KEEP YOUR EXPIRIMENT, THEN I SUGGGEST THAT YOU DO AS I COMMAND, WE WILL DROP HER OFF AT YOUR LOCATION IN THE GRAND CANYON IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE OUR LITTLE DEAL,
YOUR HAVE ONE WEEK. UNTIL THEN, SHE WILL BE TORTURED TO NEAR DEATH. MAKE YOUR DECISION WISLEY, I DON'T LIKE PLAYING GAMES OR WAITING." I said.
I turned off the camera. I took out the SD card and handed it to fang. "go upload this as a PDF file or whatever it is and send it to them. We can get the e-mail address from one of them, make sure they can track us form it." I said, he nodded and left. "angel, make her stay here, then come downstairs, ill get someone to make us breakfast." I said.
She looked at maya, said something with her mind and skipped off. I went to shadows room, he was out of his crib (as per usual) and was playing with his toy truck. "mama!" he cried and waddled towards me. "hi baby boy!" I cooed, picking him up and placing him on the side of my hip. I went to amoura's room to find her siting up in her crib. I smiled and picked her up as well, walking downstairs to meet the others. "morning max." Ashley said.
"morning." I said, I turned and eyed rick, who just shrugged. I set my babies on their play mat in the living room and walked over to fang, who was sitting on the couch with his lap top in hand. "rick, make some food bro, I'm hungry and I don't want max ot burn the house down." fang said. Rick nodded and went to make food. I leaned my head on fang's shoulder and sighed.
"whats wrong?" he asked, typing away, getting past security firewalls and passwords and such. "nothing, I just kind of wanted a break." I sighed again. He stopped typing on his laptop and looked at me. he lifted my chin in his hand and leaned his face towards mine. "im sorry that I cant give you a peaceful life max..." he whispered, leaning down all the way and molding his lips to mine.
I sighed in contentment and moved on of my hands to his hair, the other to his chest. He moved his hand to the back of my neck and the other on the small of my back. He tilted his head to deepen the kiss, and licked my bottom lip, I had to try and stifle a moan, we hadnt had real sex in a while and this was killing me.
"would you two please not do that. Its pretty gross." angel said, "and max, I can hear your thoughts..." angel trailed off, giving me a smirk, fang smirked as well and peck my lips before going back to his work. I stayed snuggled up to his chest as he worked and typed. At least were going through these tough times together...
(ELLA POV)
"iggy?" I mumbled, my eyes still closed, I was so sleepy. "yea?" he whispered in my ear, gripping my tighter in his arms. "is the baby still there?" I asked. He paused to listen "yeah, I can hear him breathing." he replied. "mmmmmmmmm good." I whispered. Iggy nuzzled his head in my neck and his breathing slowed and got heavier.
Then the door swung open and iggy popped up and looked around, nudge and gazzy stepped in. "we got a call from max to come over here, she said she would send angel later to tell us what was going on." she said... that was rather short for nudge... hmm... "were here to protect you, not that iggy cant, were just here for the extra protection." gazzy explained.
Iggy nodded his head and leaned back to hold me in his arms once again. Then the baby started to cry... we really need to name this child. "iggy, the baby is crying, we really need to name him." I said. "i like blue" he said. "ew no, hes a baby not a dog. How about Alric?" I asked. "um, no thanks." he said, rolling his eyes, the baby crying in his hands. "ummm, wave?" he asked. "no, aiden?" I asked. "hello no..." he looked (or turned his useless eyes in my direction) st me like I was crazy. "ian?" I asked.
"hmm, I like it, yeah, ian martinez." iggy mused. "so, ian it is?" I asked. "yeah, hi ian." iggy cooed at our baby boy, ian. "how sweet!" nudge mused, gazzy grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly, that's when I noticed the ring on her hand... "nudge, are you and gaz engaged?" I asked.
"no, were promised. Its like saying your gonna be together forever, its like an engagement for kids." she said, smiling. "and apparently gazzy wants to be with me forever..." she trailed off, looking at gazzy and smiling. "yup." he said, smiling himself. "awwwwwwwwwww" I mused, giggling a little at how sweet the young couple was...
(MAX POV)
rick brought the plate of pancakes to me and fang on the couch and headed back to the living room,fang sent the e- mail. "max, I love you, you know that right?" he asked. "yeah..." I said, wondering where he was going with this. "good, cause I love you more than anything."
he whispered, kissing me chastely on the lips before resuming to his pancakes... what the fuck was that a mood swing? just then a loud beep noise sounded from fang's computer and the itex people had replied to our message.
Dear Maximum Ride,
We do not wish for you to harm maya, she is not in a right state of mind, we only wish for her back, we will ensure your family and loved one's protection as much as we possibly can, we do not have any further attempts to do anything involving you, besides just a few small tests on your children. Please understand that Maya and Dylan are still getting over their high from being on such a large dosage of a drug that made them fall deeply in love with you and fang. We have aborted this mission but they still seem to love you both, we are looking for an antidote, we do apologize for any stress it has caused your family, and we fully accept your deal, if you bring back Maya in two days, we will ensure your family and loved one's safety.
-the uber director.
Me and fang read the message over and over again, and angel made sure it was legit before me and fang packed our bags and angel left to tell the other's what was going on. Only me, fang and angel were going. I grabbed maya and tied her hands and feet together.
When angel got back she demanded maya to fly us towards the grand canyon, we couldn't rest at all, this would be a long trip... Ryan and Ashley are camping out at ciarra and rick's. And my babies are at the hospital with iggy, mom, gazzy, nudge, ella, and ian.
AT THE GRAND CANYON TWO DAYS LATER!
(FANG POV)
we were hovering on top of the building, max, took one of maya's shoes off her foot and let it drop to the roof, in an instant, twenty or so flyboys made their way to the roof, max pulled a bomb out of her pack and dropped it, exploding the flyboys to pieces.
We made our way to the hallways, maya leading the way under angels "spell". We got to the conference room, angel said she head all of the voices there, max kicked open the door and the look on their faces was priceless. "we have a deal, give us our goddammed protection for your precious experiment." max snarled, making some of them flinch.
"alright max, just calm down, hand us over maya, you have our word, we cant really give more than that, but our word reighns true, for we know if you or a loved one I harmed that it will be our asses." the uber director said. "hi fang." Brigid said. I ignored her and turned to max.
"now?" I asked, referring to giving them maya. "yeah." she said. I grabbed the stupid copy cat and shoved her into the room. "angel, mind control them all to make them be absoulutley true to their word about this protection thing." max whispered.
"kay." angel replied, and one by one she skipped to each of them and looked them in the eye and I imagine she told them to do it in her mind... creepy little girl, but effective... me and max nd angel headed off towards home, we couldn't wait to get back, I just wondered what happened with Dylan... what was going on with him, where was he?
(MAX POV)
When we got home omega was standing at our door. "i am here to assist maximum and fang ride to have their family protected." he said monotonously. "uh, kay... " I said, we dropped our stuff off, omega apparently had some tree house he lived in, in the woods not too far away from here.
Me angel and fang flew towards the hospital. When we made it there we too the babies and rick and Ashley back home with us. It was so late at night that we all went to bed immediately, hoping that tomorrow would be a little bit better that today...
