Chapter 9
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry that I took soooo long to update. But I've been kind of busy. I was rereading this book that I just LOVE! So that took two days, plus I had homework. I should be doing my Language Arts project right now so you better appreciate what I'm doing for you. If my 4.0 drops I'm blaming it on James Patterson, just kidding. Oh and I had a Quick Recall game (we won) and practice too. Plus I had to study for two tests on Friday and I had to write a letter to a Holocaust survivor in two days. And I really wanted to make it good! Oh and did I mention that I had two Units of Greek Roots? Yea well I do. Oh and I went to a party last night hehehe.
Thank you for the reviews. I would personally message you all and thank you personally but I'm sorry to say that I don't have that kind of patience…sorry. Oh and as of now I am taking requests. Well not really requests but if you have any ideas tell me and I'll consider them. I said CONSIDER so that doesn't mean that your idea will be in for sure, but a lot of you have some good ideas and I'm kind of … having writers block
So tell me if you have any ideas. Thanks
Max POV:
"We're here." I looked around and guess what I saw? Trees! I was going to beat that bird so bad… "What do you mean we're here? Where is here? There is nothing here at all." I know I'm being kind of a jerk but I'm not used to handing over my reigns as leader. Besides Fang has me all messed up. Light just ignored me and went over to the tallest tree in this whole dang forest and tapped at it three times and then he blew on it. Yes you heard me right, he blew on it. All of a sudden out of nowhere the MIA headquarters appeared. I looked around. What the heck?
The headquarters was in a tree…a huge headquarters in a huge tree. Then there were a bunch of smaller little buildings. The place actually looked nice but this is just ridiculous. "Okay what the heck is going on?" I was getting seriously mad for some reason. I looked around and there were …people? I think they are people…oh my goodness is that a rabbit person?
Okay as you can see I'm extremely confused but I'm going to try to explain some stuff to you. You know how I said there is a big tree, well this tree is pretty big but when birdie over there blew on it all of a sudden it all changed. The tree was now a tree…house. And it was connected to other smaller tree houses by rope bridges…everywhere you looked you saw rope bridges and …experiments. The tree house is well made and it looks like a really nice place to live actually. The last dying rays of sunlight were casting shadows of leaves onto the tree house and suddenly all of my anger disappeared, just poof. Suddenly a sense of calm fell over me.
I looked over at Fang to see what he thought of this craziness and he just slightly shrugged his shoulders when he saw me looking his way. Greeeat… now what am I going to do? Light called me "Max would you like to meet the leader of MIA now?" Well duh, I just nodded…this was a little weird. So this is how Dorothy felt when she was in Oz. I know that I felt all out of sorts but I had no idea how the rest of the flock was dealing. I looked over to Gazzy and Iggy and heard snatches of their conversation "…man how are we going to make bombs here? There better be a whole room full of chemicals in there somewhere…" then their voices lowered and I couldn't hear anymore of their conversation. But from what I'd heard the guys were dealing just fine except for the fact that their bomb making would be put off for a while.
I looked over at Angel and Nudge talking, "Oh my god! This place is so cool. Did you see that bunny? All the experiments here are so cool and there are so many of them and I can't believe that there are more bird kids well didn't Max say that there are more bird kids and we need to save them well I think that she did and it would be so cool if there were more girls our age we could have so much fun if there were and it would be so awesome though I hope that there aren't a bunch of cute older guys because Fang would probably get jealous if they started to flirt with Max and they probably would because Max is so pretty!" Dear god, Nudge just said all that in one breath without stopping. Poor Angel just sort of nodded her head. She couldn't get in a word in edgewise. We started walking up a flight of stairs…yea a wooden flight of stairs covered in vines and flowers that lead up to the big tree house. Right by the huge oak entrance was a flower. Not like any of the other flowers. One of these flower's petals was bigger than my head. The petals were a breathtaking lavender color at the top getting darker and darker until they were black at the end. The stigma was a brilliant white, and the sepal at the bottom was turquoise. I've never seen a flower like that. (I just made up some flower randomly)
As we were climbing up, Light flying ahead of us I felt the hairs at the nape of my neck stand up…I looked over at Fang and he was staring intently at me…kind of creepy…Finally after what felt like a hundred years but was like a minute we reached the Oak doors. They were thrown open and a boy stood there. I think he was a boy…a squirrel boy. He looked like a normal guy except for the huge furry tail attached to his butt. "Welcome to our headquarters," wow at least we've got a warm welcome, well warmer then getting attacked by erasers. "If you will come with me I will lead you to our leader. He has been anticipating your arrival." The …boy…lead us through a great hall that was HUGE and up a flight of stairs, right, down a hallway, up another flight of stairs, up another flight of stairs, and up some more. While we were talking the Nudge Channel came on. "Hey what's your name? Are you a real squirrel? That's so cool. What's it like being a squirrel. Can you do anything with your tail?" Gazzy had covered her mouth with his hand before she could get started again. The boy looked sort of alarmed at how fast she could talk without taking a breath but he sort of pulled his composure together and said "My name is Twitch, yes I'm a real squirrel experiment, okay I guess, and not really." Wow he actually answered her, a lot of people wouldn't. Actually the boy looked sort of around Nudge's age. Hmm about twelve I think. Twelve and blushing to boot! I looked over at Nudge but she didn't seem to notice. Iggy and Fang on the other hand looked kind of uncomfortable. Fang had fallen back and was walking next to Iggy saying something in a low voice and Iggy looked sort of upset. Hmm I wonder if Iggy is getting jealous. Well I don't think he has anything to worry about. Yea Twitch was good looking (okay like drop dead good looking) but Nudge isn't that shallow to just care about looks. Besides Iggy was good looking too but I guess he really wouldn't know that since he can't see himself…oh well nothing I can do about it.
Finally we had reached a door. This door looked just like every other door in this place except for one thing. On the door there was a carving of the same flower that we had seen up front by the oak door…umm coinky dink? I don't think so. Twitch announced "We have arrived, please continue in." He then opened the door and stepped back to let us pass through.
We walked into the room and sitting at a big oak desk was the leader of MIA……………………………………… a baby??????????
And some people thought that I was just losing my mind when I said "warm up a bottle" in one of my previous chapters. I still have my sanity… I think. Sorry it's short but this seemed like a good place to end this chapter.
