Just incase you want to know, I'm listening to 'Pain' by Three Days Grace right now... Hence the chapter.
Here's the new chapter. Enjoy! :D
When I woke up the smell of antiseptics hit me head on. But unlike every day I wake up in the School I was semi-comfortable. I didn't open my eyes but I assessed my surroundings. There were about five other people in the room, they were arguing about something pointless. I was sitting in a plush bed, the kind where you can jump on it and you won't spill the wine on the other end. Nothing else stood out so I turned my attention back to the argument.
"She's a threat!" one guy yelled.
"We don't know that yet, they obviously want her here for a reason," a kind voice said, I immediately liked him.
"Yeah, they either want her to kill us or they want us to kill her." This voice was of a woman's, but it was sharp and mean.
"That's not true, remember Gregory. He wasn't sent here to do either, just to help us," another woman's voice said. It had power but was also soft.
"Why don't we just ask her," a deep voice said. Okay, now I'm going to take a wild guess and say that her is me. "It's okay, we know you're awake."
I opened my eyes and sat up. The five people were watching me, it was easy to see which ones wanted to kill me and which ones didn't. The ones that did were the african-american woman, and a short, but still taller than me, built, brown haired man.
The ones that didn't were a girl with black hair, pale skin, and startling blue eyes and a tall, also built man, who looked like the girl except he was more manly. There was a blonde man who seemed to be the judge and looked impassive.
"Well," the short guy said/yelled.
"Well, what?" I asked.
"Are you here to kill one of us?"
I thought for a moment, did Jeb mention anyone I had to kill? I don't think so... "If I say yes..."
"Then you die," the blacked haired man said. He was the one with the kind voice.
I sighed, looking for a sarcastic comment but I couldn't think of one for the life of me. "I don't know. Well, I don't think so."
"See! She needs to die, what if she is supposed to? It's too dangerous!" The african-american woman walked up to me and grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the bed.
The blonde man looked like he was going to say something but before he could Jeb walked in with my two favorite experiments.
"Hello Maximum," Jeb said.
"Max," I growled back. "Just Max, Dad." I heard several intakes of breathe after my last word.
I saw Jeb sigh and then guess who walked in through the door, Nickole. That evil bitch! "We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your Flock now would we Max?" Nickole asked.
"You bitch!" I screamed at her and lunged. If I had paid a little more attention I would have noticed the gun Jack was carrying. But since I didn't the black haired boy had to hold me back right before the bullet would have hit me.
I heard him whisper in my ear, "Calm down Max. You can get your revenge later, calm down." I followed his directions, not that I wanted to, and stared at Nickole.
"How are they," I asked.
"Fine. Did I ever tell you about how great Fang is in bed?" I could tell she wanted me mad and God was it working. If black haired guy hadn't held me back I would've attacked her again. He whispered the same thing in my ear and it worked immediately.
"Michelle, don't provoke her," Jeb said.
"Michelle?" I asked. She just grinned.
Jeb continued, "Gregory, I want you and your team to watch out for Maximum and train her. She'll be a viable asset to your team." Jeb turned to brown haired guy. "Martin, if you hurt Maximum at all, you will be dead. That goes for all of you."
Then they turned and left. Only then did black haired guy let go of my waist. "Max, do you care to tell us what that was all about?" the blonde guy asked.
"I'm as confused as you are," I reply.
"No, I mean, it seemed as if you and Michele had some history involving a flock?"
"Yeah." I took a deep breath and opened my wings. I sighed in relief, I hadn't stretched my wings in forever. After they got over the shock of my wings I told them about my past, the Flock, Jeb, saving the world, Nickole or Michelle, the note, getting captured, and then ending here.
By the end of the speech, I felt disappointed, disappointed that I didn't see who Nickole, Michelle, whatever the hell her name is, was. A spy. She was sent to destroy me and my flock. The ten words she said still got to me, "Did I ever tell you how great Fang is in bed?" Did she even love him? Did he even love her?
"Well," the blonde guy said eventually.
"Well," I repeated.
"I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other." The black haired boy and girl smiled, but Martin and african-american woman didn't look so happy.
"What!" Martin yelled. The girl growled at me.
"Aw, come on Selina, you've always been a poor loser," black haired guy said to the african-american woman.
"That's because I don't loose!" she screamed at him. He just rolled his eyes. The fight seemed to carry on a bit but I guess the leader just lost it. Been there, done that.
"SILENCE!" he yelled. "We have a new member in our family. Not another word Martin." Martin snapped his mouth closed and silently seethed. "Let me introduce my family. I'm Gregory, this is Safire," he pointed at the black haired girl.
"Call me Saffy," she whispered to me.
"This is Indigo," he pointed to the black haired boy, who waved in response to his name, "Saffy is his twin sister, that is Selina, and that is, of course, Martin." Martin grunted and glared at me when I looked at him. Finally everybody left, except Martin.
"One day birdie, you're going to get it," he said, going for the scary calm voice. I couldn't resist, I stuck my tongue out at him and smiled internally. Ah, to finally see that hilarious look on his face. I did the only thing a semi-smart person would do, run.
