Yeah, my mom didn't pay the internet bill, so my Internet got crashed. But I wrote more chapters in Wolf's Ride! YAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ehem, sorry about that – just got the second manga of Max Ride. AWESOMENESS! So, chapter 4. Yup. Don't own the chars. Nupe. Nada. Nuttin.
I leapt back into the air and worked my wings again – up then down, up then down… seriously, you should pay a visit in a lab full of sick twisted scientists sometime. It pays off later.
I take that back. Ever since we left, death's been nipping at our heels. The only plus we got from that place was the ability to fly. Kind of like equivalent exchange. It takes a lot to get these babies. ((Fullmetal Alchemist 3))
Landing while thinking isn't the best combination; I slipped and almost fell flat on the concrete street below. Luckily, my wings flew out again and picked me back up. Thankful nobody in the flock saw me slip, I walked into the apartment.
"Back!" I said, and was almost instantly greeted with a bird-kid welcome committee.
"Max! You're back! Good thing; I'm starving!"
"Hey, Max! It is you, right?"
"What's in the bag? Is it edible?"
I smiled. "Just got new food – don't eat it all at once, guys." I walked in the kitchen to meet Angel and Total, asking if they could help put the stuff away.
"Aw, thanks, guys…" I said, and gave Angel a bigger paper bag, and Total the other. I walked back into the living room (I think- was too old and dusty to find out) and sat on the couch next to Fang.
He gave me his usual, two-minutes-after-everyone head-nod and whispered, "Hey."
I nodded back. "Did Gaz and Iggy fix the TV?" The screen in front of us was showing the news, flickering brightly.
"Yep. Like you said before, lock them in a padded room with anything, they can make it explode or work." His black eyes scanned over the rest of the flock.
I laughed. "Yeah..." His hair was already getting long, like it was a few months ago, near Arizona. To tell the truth, I had no idea where we were at the time.
You are in a deserted area in Canada, I believe. The Voice said, surprising me. Can't tell what the town's called. Something about a wolf.
I shuddered. The word wolf made me think of those Erasers, half-wolf, half-human things. A. K. A. trained killers.
I knew Fang knew that I knew that he knew that I wasn't comfortable. Like he always did, he wrapped his arms around me and sighed. It almost always made me feel better.
But not this time. I was almost going to follow the impulse to push him away. Then I thought at the Voice, Why do I feel… weird? Not like always, but just… weird.
"There's a lot you don't know of yet, Max." Angel said next to me. Oh, yeah. Did I mention, Mind Reader is in the house? "And Fang's hair is getting longer, like you liked it."
I was gonna kill her. After I got embarrassed about Fang's hair, I got frustrated at Angel. "Erm, what did I tell you about that?"
About what? Her little voice floated inside my head. I narrowed my eyes and thought hard, Spilling out stuff about Fang when I don't need you to.
She frowned at me and walked away with Total. I sighed. "Something's not… right. I feel like a part of me is missing. I've had that feeling ever since we left Hawaii."
Fang looked at me. "The place was a khaki wonderland, remember? Not much to miss."
I ignored his joke. "No, just... weird. Nevermind. I'll figure it out later." I jumped up and walked upstairs, and found a huge, no, seriously, huge bed in a room we hadn't seen yet – what with fixing the TV and the food and all. I called down to them, "Hey! Look what I found!"
It took about ten minutes. I explained who'd sleep where, when, and why. Yes, the little guys wanted to "sleep on the bed! I don't deserve this spot!"
Okay, now guess who had to share the bed in the end? Yes. You guessed it. Don't comment on it, over-zealous readers.
Yes, Fang and her had to share it with Angel in the middle. Good thing too, huh?
Hehehe… PLEASE REVIEW! NEXT CHAPTER IS PROBABLY ALREADY UP, BUT I DON'T KNOW JUST YET! IT'LL BE IN THE FUTURE FROM WHEN I'M TYPING THIS!!
