So yeah- i don't own anything from Maximum Ride.

HEHE

Ch. 5

Max's POV:

Though searching in the woods for Fang for 12 hours is oodles of fun- the younger kids were getting tired.

Even Nudge was talking. And that's saying something.

I sighed, knowing that even though I didn't want to, we had to stop and rest soon- without Fang.

" Max, we want to find Fang and all but-" Iggy was rubbing his sightless eyes, yawing.

"Yeah, I know. We'll find a spot to make camp soon, their tired."

I look over at the rest of my family, all of them flying at like two miles per hour.

Total was asleep in Angels sleepy, sagging arms.

Iggy nodded and mumbled before moving over towards Gassy " Their not the only ones!"

I rolled my eyes.

Where are you Fang?...

5 minutes later:

As soon as we landed that night, Angel, Gassy, and Nudge were out cold!

And I do mean as soon as we landed. Their feet touched grass, and boom- snoring.

Iggy stayed up a little longer though. I think he felt that since Fang wasn't here, he had to take his spot-for now of course.

" Hey, we'll find him. I know we will. I think tomorrow we'll definitely find him. Yeah-"

" Iggy, we searched the entire area- he's not here. Thanks anyway."

" Max, Fang's my friend- our friend too. He's our brother, and we want to find him as much as you do."

Iggy was staring- well as best he could- being blind and all- straight at me.

He looked kinda scary in the moonlight, being all serious.

" I know. What made you think I didn't?"

I never got an answer from Iggy though,' cause right at that moment- I heard a twig snap sharp under someone's – something's- foot.

"Iggy, did you-"

" Sshhh! I'm trying to listen"

We crept forward, slowly edging our way toward the edge of the clearing.

I turned slightly and tapped Ig's shoulder 3 + 2 times, telling him to wake up the others.

He hesitated slightly, but nodded, and tip-toed over to Nudge to wake her up.

I ,on the other hand, was still silently edging my way to the wall of trees not two feet away.

I crept closer and closer still, until-

" AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Stranger's POV:

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

I screamed! This girl, the oldest one with blond hair- screamed too.

She had totally scared the holy living crap out of me!

My shoulders were still soar from changing back into my human form, which I had finished doing like two seconds before she had snuck up on me!

" GODS!! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" I was so pissed off!

Way to make a first impression! Sheesh, who taught her basic manners!

I looked at the girl, who was just staring at me.

I could tell she didn't expect whoever she thought I was, to be me.

I waved my hand in front of her face.

" Helloo? Anybody home? "

That sort of snapped her out of it.

She shook her head, and got all suspicious.

She bent her knees, clenched her fists, and narrowed her eyes.

She was a pretty mutant freak, I must say. I mean, I'm a mutant freak and haven't met that many, but she was till pretty in my book.

Her hair was kind of spiky-probably from growing out from layers-, shoulder length, and blond- with more blond highlights in it.

I could tell she was kind of a tomboy. She was wearing plain, faded jeans, a tank top, and a plain grey sweatshirt.Don't forget the combat boots.

She was the complete opposite of me….

" Who are you?" She said through clenched teeth.

She's definitely NOT the trusting type.

Can you blame her?

Oh, golly jee- and here I thought you had left!

I'm never leaving, Cam.

I rolled my eyes, and instantly regretted it. 'Cause I was rewarded with a splitting headache, the size of Jupiter!

I looked up at the girl, who had been joined by the rest of her friends, and passed out completely.

Lucky me!

Okay- No Fang this chapter, next one tho. What do you think?
