Hey my beautiful reviewers. :) I'm excited to announce that I have just updated my next chapter, otherwise known as the chapter you're reading right now. A huge thanks to Chairwomanmeow15 (I think you reference to The City of Bones?), Guest, Raisa, Dragonfire Alchemist, miamia114, and Wolf and MR Lover (I love wolves :))
Gazzy: Thank you for loving this story! :D
Me: … Why do I allow you to speak here?
Gazzy: 'Cause you love me?
Me: Sure. I don't own Maximum Ride (I hope this makes up for not saying this in the last chapter, I think?)
Chapter 4: Getting to Know You Better
-The Creature P.o.v.~
-Dream Scape-
"Wake up, Avian. Look who I brought to play," someone laughed, kicking my crate harshly. I felt my body tremble with every vibration. I growled low in my throat, glaring at the thing before my. It was that wolf experiment that knocked me out!
"You remembered me, Avian. I feel so special." He mocked, waving a paw back and forth, the air almost warping around every finger. My head and stomach ached with every breath, and he was wasting my time.
"Get on with it, Alpha," I hissed, flaring my wings slightly. He growled back before smiling a toothy smile and disappearing out the door. Why was he so happy all of the sudden?
"Meet your new cell mate," Alpha announced, shoving someone into the room. They looked so familiar. Wha-
"Why did you move me to this cell, Alpha?" The new person questioned, growling slightly. He only shrugged before turning them around for me to see. When he did, I caught the scent of smoke…
"No. I can't be you!" I screamed, backing up against my cage in a swift motion. No, no, no, no, no! Not him.
"It's good to see you sis," Ari, the one person I didn't want to see, murmured before my vision swam, drawing me back to the present time.
-The Flock's House-
I blinked a few times, looking at everything around me before standing shakily on all four paws. I was on blankets and towels... I don't remember sleeping on blankets. Wait. I ran into someone- no- some people at the park. I tried talking to them.
"Looks like it's awake," someone spoke up to my right. Their footsteps were light but heavy, causing the ground wave lengths to ripple. He was getting closer.
"Do you think it's hungry?" Another asked, their footsteps heavier and quick. They seemed concerned.
"I'm tired of calling it an 'it.' Can we please just figure out if it's a girl or a boy?" Someone else complained. There were so many voices, each one either annoying or light. All of the wavelengths blending together to create a tornado of vibrations, making my spine tingle and paws shake slightly.
"Somebody should find out. I vote Kate." The first voice said, stepping into my view. He had strawberry-blonde hair with bright blue eyes, but my mind kept repeating, 'Pale, pale, pale.' He leaned closer, looking me over carefully as if a bomb about to explode.
"Why me?" A feminine voice shot back, appearing behind the boy. She had black hair, and angled features. She was the girl that carried me along with the dark haired boy.
"She probably remembers you more than us. Give it a try." The strawberry-blonde urged, nudging her forward. I stepped back, my back paws almost giving out from strain.
"Umm… I won't hurt you. We just want to know what you are," the girl murmured, stretching out a hand. I reached out my muzzle, and she placed her hand over my nose.
"See. I won't hurt you. How about this? Lick me if you're a boy, or bark if you're a girl," she said calmly. She seemed trustworthy, so I barked… more like 'tried' to bark. Kate gave me a sad look before smiling and exclaiming, "It's a girl!"
The strawberry-blonde laughed before cupping his hands around his mouth and yelled, "Everybody it's breakfast time!" What a weird time to say that.
Kate nudged my side gently and walked towards a huge doorway. The strawberry-blonde and a few others were right behind him followed while whispering to one other. They kept talking about me. Asking who I was and what they were going to do to me. I let out a whimper, and Kate noticed my discomfort.
"Everyone stop talking about her! She's scared," Kate hissed, turning around to face them. I barked in agreement before grabbing her pant leg between my teeth and pulling it slightly. She looked down, and I pointed with my snout to the next room.
"I think she knows what breakfast means," the strawberry-blonde laughed, passing by and ruffling my fur affectionately. He walked over to a stove before pulling out a pan and a few ingredients, including raw meat which made my stomach growl loudly. The others laughed before walking to the strawberry-blonde and helping him grab and mix ingredients .
"I'm thinking pancaked for us and steak for her and Total," the strawberry-blonde told the others. They nodded and set to work, the smell of pancakes hitting my nose. I could tell they didn't mind me here as if we were already acquainted before. It was a good feeling.
"3... 2... 1!" Kate counted off before a rumbling of footsteps were heard. I quickly, and silently, ran over to Kate's side as quite a few people entered to kitchen and sat down at the table. They all had wings peeking out the sides of their shirts except for 3 who looked like normal kids. Kate nudged my side.
"Go on. Go say hello," she urged, returning to her work. I growled low and soft before giving up and making my way over to the table. Maybe these people won't be that bad. Deep breath… Time to face my fate.
A.N:
Done :) Thanks for reading! Maybe I'll update Sunday for the funs of it.
