Hey! Soldier (Max) here! I know it's been a while, but I'm here now, so let's not complain why I wasn't. FYI (There is a double meaning in that phrase you know. If you PM me, I'll tell you…), the most interesting thing happened at school today.
I was walking down the hallway when these two girls (Both of whom are my friends…) broke out into a fight. They started screaming cuss words at each other and my friend Emily sucker-punched Marilynn. I just have to say, wow… That punch was awesome!
Don't worry, since they were both my friends, I jumped in there and pulled Emily off of Marilynn. Let's just say, I won't be seeing well for a while…
Well, enough about me! Back to the bacontastic (everyone is saying this now… So I guess I'll say it, too) story!
Disclaimer: (Who invented these anyways?) I do not own Maximum Ride or Twilight. Let's just say, if I did, the books would be a whole lot better. (I'm talking about the Fax and Jella here…) (God JP! Why did you have to break up the Golden Couple? Argh!)
Chapter Five: The Miracle
Death—I still called him that in my head. He may be Fang now, but he'll always be my Angel of Death. Death smiled at me, his eyes lighting up in that mysterious way. They were like a burning fire, the flames smothered by the black smoke.
I smiled back, of course. Death was my mate, and he would always be my mate for the rest of eternity. But that didn't mean that he could be a little possessive at times. One time, I was playing with Iggy, and Death came swooping in when he hit a little too hard. Light and Dark (A/N: Max will be alternating between their angel names and their human names. Do you have their angel names memorized? Yes? Good.) was unconscious for a few months, which is barely a day in Heaven.
"What are your half-lifes doing right now?" I asked him. He retreated into himself for a minute, his mind searching through all of the half-lifes in the world to the supposed 'Cullen's'.
"They are talking about 'school'," he said after a minute of silence. When he saw my confused and curious stare, he elaborated. "It is an education base for humans."
"Ah." Sitting down, I leaned my head on his shoulder, his wings coming up and caressing my back and my head. They were soft, softer than the beds in Heaven.
Death and I sighed simultaneously. His shoulder lifted with the effort, as did my head, since it was rested upon his shoulder.
Just as Death and I were getting comfortable, a big BOOM! reverberated around the woods. We jumped up at the same time and our wings came out in a WOOSH! We looked at each other, and then we jumped off of the roof we were sitting on and shot towards the woods.
Our faces set in determination; we swooped in between the trees at high speeds (at least 300mph) and landed in a manmade clearing. There was a crater the size of a large human shelter—'house', Ella had called it.
Light and Dark, and Fire were standing there, their faces alight with awe and elation.
"What is going on here?" I growled, Light and Dark's eyes widening when he heard me. Fire was already on his knees with his head in between his hands, whispering a prayer to God that I wouldn't wound him.
"I…Well, Iggy and I were experimenting with human—bomb they called it?—materials. And, well, um, uh, the uh, the whole thing exploded." Fire muttered the last part, his head falling back into his hands and he started praying again. Oh, he better. If I got my hands on him…
"Is this true Light and Dark?"
"I…Yes, Guardian." He would never call me by my human name, no matter how much he wanted to. I was the leader, and he would always call me by my proper name.
I hissed at him and Fire, my lips curled back in a snarl. My hands formed fists out of anger, and all I could see was red.
Light and Dark and Fire whimpered under my glare. Light and Dark could see it through Fire's eyes, and I could tell he regretted using Fire's eyes.
Suddenly, Love came swooping in. She landed with Mischief right behind her, their eyes wide and innocent. "What happened?" Love exclaimed.
"Your mate and Fire decided to play with human materials," I snarled, my anger still not diminishing.
"WHAT?" Love screeched, her hand coming up and grabbing Light and Dark's ear. He winced and leaned down to her level, trying to even out the height between them so it would cause him less pain.
It was amusing to see such a big angel being chastised by his smaller mate.
Mischief and Love escorted the bad behaving angels to the human shelter, holding their ears the whole time. Death and I smiled at the scene.
Death grabbed my hand and pulled me toward him, his hands moving to surround my waist. Immediately I put my hands around his head in a kiss, my lips moving with his as my head exploded in to become the Milky Way.
When he pulled away, he smiled once more and took my hand, opening his wings and picking me up. He jumped and started flying with the sun setting behind us. But one thought still remained on my mind.
Tomorrow we will go and meet Death's half-lifes.
Okay, I know that this is super slow and non-actiony. But it's only the fifth chapter. It's still in the introduction, people! Don't worry, the next chapter more confusing and actiony stuff is going to happen. I know that this chapter is short, but I'm short on time right now. I promise that I'll update as soon as I can! And if I get enough reviews, I'll make it three times as long as this chapter. Eh? Eh? Come on, review!
