Maximum Ride: Around the World.

Wake up.

No.

Now.

NO.

I snuggled into the warm body and wrapped my arm around it, it tightened its grip on me and nuzzled my neck. Is this a dream? I like this dream. I hope when I wake up that its that singer...Whats his name?

Gerrard Way?

Oh yes, that'd be a perfect dream. I breathed in the scent and tightened my grip. Actually, the nuzzling was tickling me. Maybe I should tell him to back off.

Dont say I didn't tell you. I did try to wake you up before it got worse.

I yawned and ignored the voice then sat up a little ... Oh the horror. Shame?

"Um...Fang?" I had to suppress a giggle as he breathed on my neck and I pulled away. "Fang." I whispered poking his forehead. He grunted and tried to grasp me back.

"Wake up... Jessica Alba is waiting for yo-ou." I said with a grin. He bolted up and stared at me.

"But I thought I was hugging her." He grumbled. I shook my head and turned away so he couldn't see my face.

"Nope. That was me." I chuckled nervously. His nose scrunched up.

"I nuzzled your neck." He said, mouth slowly forming into a grin.

"I snuggled you!" I said my mouth doing the same.

And for some reason...It doesn't seem gross.

"So, we heading today?" he asked ruffling his hair that brushed his neck now.

I shrugged and yawned again then looked over at Iggy who was sprawled out, fingers and legs twitching in his sleep. I heard a giggle and my head snapped into the direction.

A girl in those things they wear...What're they called? And she had the head piece and all. A ruby red, the same as her lips and she was watching Iggy.

Aww how sweet.

But I hate to take Ig away so soon.

"Hmmm...Iggy's got some admires." I said to Fang. He laughed and stood up. And hand came to my shoulder, I turned around expecting Iggy had woken up. But no.

"Great." I muttered looking into the ugly Eraser face. He mumbled something in Arabic to his friends.

" Max-" Fang started.

"Wake them up. Tell 'em to ... go." I replied punching the ugly thing in the face. He caught my foot as I swung it around. I looked over at Fang desperately.

"Go!" I said. I preferred waking up with Fang. I hate this!

I growled again and caught his chin with my other foot and swung myself around.

About fifteen minutes later, I found that all of us were in fight with some. The people that were here before were gone...I would've run if I were them.

"Ugh. Don't you die." I groaned stepping on the female Erasers neck and dusted my hands off.

"Is that all of them?" I asked. Silence.

And then Gazzy farted.

"Approved. Lets go." I called retying my hair as we leapt into the sky.

"They're everywhere!" Angel whined. Total sniffed.

"One got my paw." He said. I picked him off Angel's back and ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry little Toty." Angel cooed. Nudge joined in with the cooing and I gave Total to them while the three boys laughed.

Max. I have to do this...so you better tell Fang to get ready to catch you. The Voice warned.

"Fang." I said, a migraine slowly forming and my wings growing weaker.

"Now?" He asked, I nodded and was swept into unconsciousness.


She just had to do it now. Or the voice, whatever. Anyway, I've been carrying her for five hours. We've stopped somewhere with a store, I took Max's card and put into the ATM, it gave us the right money, so Iggy went off and bought water, Nudge got some towels from the reception and Angel watched closely.

"She's gonna be okay." She said with a giggle and looked over at me raising her small blond eyebrows. I raised mine back.

Whats' she dreaming about now?

"Nothing..." Angel said slyly and clicked her fingers for Total to follow her.

Like I believe anything that child says, next the door opened and Iggy came in with some bottles of water.

"I had to get this old man help me." He shuddered. I laughed and tossed one to him and opened another one and walked over to Max. She needed to wake up soon.

I opened her mouth a little. " Max?" I said stroking her cheek. Iggy snickered. I glared at him.

"How else should I wake her up?" I asked.

"Oh. Give her the kiss of life." He said dreamily and walked out.

No. Way. I've already- okay she kissed me, because she was worried! If I were her-

"Fang?" She gasped as if trying to suck air in like a fish. I poured the water into her mouth and she swallowed hungrily and started to shake.

"Whats up?" I asked placing her in my lap as I took her place on the bed.

"...Jeb- is follow-ing us a-nd s-s-so is A-r-ri. A-n-d," She coughed, I rubbed her back, "And, t-they- k-killed on-one o-f, of us." I frowned.

" Max. We've fought them before. We can do it now." I said brushing her strands of hair back. She shook her head frantically.

"He's got power Fang." She whispered as if someone else was in the room.

"Like ... Angel and ... You power?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yeah...And its big...We're going to need..." She trailed off not knowing what to say. I sighed and softly kissed her forehead, letting it linger and then wrapped my arms around her more.

Poor girl.
