I don't own Maximum Ride, but i do own Blair and Henry.
For every promise, there is price to pay. -Jim Rohn
"The girl who seemed unbreakable, broke.
The girl who always laughed cried.
The girl who never stopped trying, finally gave up.
She dropped her fake smile as a tear rolled down her cheek and she
whispered to herself, 'i can't do this anymore'"
Chapter 7:
Iggy POV:
I had taken on the role as our temporary leader. For some reason Angel just didn't seem into it anymore, when Fang left she turned quiet and boring. But now, I had to bring everyone to Itex, to save Max. This whole plan really wouldn't work if Nudge failed, and to be honest I'm not so sure that Nudge is capable of this yet.
But there's no turning back now, Max has to be saved and were going to do it with Fang or without.
Dylan had found the Itex location on our government computer; we had gotten a lot of the files when we hacked into the corporation about a year ago. The biggest Itex spot on the map was back in France, where they would most likely send Max since she was the most important.
We left last night and have been flying for what seems like forever. I hope that when we get there Fang and Nudge will be waiting.
Nudge POV:
What was Fang doing with these people? I thought he left to destroy Itex, not replace us with a new and improved flock.
"Hey, Fang, can I talk to you for a sec?"
He got up from the spot we were resting and walked with me. We came to a cliff and sat down.
"What is it Nudge?"
"Who are these people? I mean I know they're mutants but why are you with them? Did you leave Max to be with that girl instead? Was that your plan Fang, because if it is I swear..."
"Nudge! How can you say that? I am in love with Max, and every second since I've been wishing I had never left. I'm not with Blair like that. They found me and they're helping me save the world."
"So you replaced the flock."
"NO, never Nudge, okay, do you get that, I would NEVER replace you. You're still my family whether you like it or not."
"Okay, just promise me though, that you won't ever leave your family again."
"I promise."
Fang POV:
I just promised Nudge I'd never leave again. But what if Max gets hurt because I'm there, standing near her? I could never live through that. I don't know what to do now. I can't break a promise to Nudge, especially not after all of the ones I've broke already.
I walked with Nudge back to where Blair and Henry were sitting.
"Let's get going, we only have a day or two to get there." I told everyone.
"Can't we just rest for a little while, it's not going to kill us to get one more hour of sleep."
"It might not kill you Blair, but it could cost Max her life."
They all got to their feet and we were off again, getting closer to seeing Max again with every flap of my wings.
Dr. Gunther-Hagen POV:
And so the flock chose their own fate, by deciding to invade Itex. Now Max is going to have to pay for their mistake.
Fang POV:
We flew for 9 hours straight, not stopping once. My wings were aching and I was about to pass out, but I knew that it would all be worth it. At last we reached our final destination, Itex.
I motioned to everyone that we were landing now.
I swooped down, almost falling from exhaustion.
"Fang, Iggy told me to meet him in those woods to the right of Itex. I think we're really close to th-"
She was interrupted by 3 other bird kids running up and giving her a huge hug.
"Nudge! You're here! You made it! And you found Fang!"
"I missed you guys so much!"
Gazzy, Dylan, Iggy and Angel all surprised us, jumping out of nowhere.
Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Iggy all talked non-stop about what had happened. Dylan, Blair, Henry, and I all stood of to the side, not saying a word.
Angel ran up and hugged my legs.
"Fang, I'm so glad you're back and that you promised you wouldn't leave again."
So she had read Nudge's mind.
"So he can stay with us, right Iggy?" Nudge asked.
"I think that will be for Max to decide."
We all got quiet for a moment, thinking about her. Then Nudge said,
"Everyone, come meet Blair and Henry. They saved Fang when he was attacked by erasers."
"You were attacked?" Iggy asked
"Yeah." I said, hoping that the topic would change quickly.
Nudge continued, "So Blair is 15 like Fang and Iggy, and Henry is Gazzy's age. They both escaped from Itex when they were little and now they're here to help us get Max."
Blair and Henry looked uncomfortable, they didn't seem to be used to having so many people knowing about them.
"Come on guys, let's worry about introductions later, we need to rest up for a long day tomorrow." I said.
We all found a spot in the trees and instantly fell asleep. Tomorrow would be the day I would see Max again, relieved I wasn't going to have to wait 20 more years. I just really hoped that I would be forgiven.
Max POV:
They had taken me and no one had even known. I knew they were taking me to the school, I knew they had a plan to get the flock too, I knew they would try to find me, I just didn't know how to save myself.
They had kept me in a small, windowless, terribly boring room for the last few days, but just a few hours ago they moved me here. I was strapped to an operating table, ready for the worst.
When they were bringing me to this room, I surprised myself. I didn't kick, scream, or even struggle one bit. I just didn't care how they were going to hurt me. I feel like I've already been through the worst pain imaginable from Fang, that this, this torture their giving me, it's a gift.
But I still don't know why they do it. It's like, okay, fine, you have me and it hurts, but I can't get out. I'm stuck. So just do it. Just get it over with, have your fun, but then stay out of my life because it's all a nightmare.
So i will try to write as often as i can, but i want to know if i should have
1. long chapters, because i kind of have the rest of the story planned out, but there won't be alot of them
or
chapters, but there will be lots of them to keep this thing going for a while
please tell me.
