Chapter 5
Don't you just hate people who think they are all that? They all wear those fancy clothes, and they all wear expensive shoes. They all get a really bad nose job. Do you know who I'm talking about? It's the lovely lady across from me, whose name I just found out is Carol.
I hate Carol.
She had ordered the Erasers to untie me along with the rest of the Flock. (See isn't she a Saint?) There were Erasers outside the door, so even if I did manage to knock the lady out, I still had no escape from this room.
Just, great.
"Max," Carol said with a smile on her face, but I could tell it was just for show, "We all know how much you care for you Flock. Everyone does. We also know you have gotten a little interest in one of them." She winked at me when she saw my eyes widen.
How did she know about Fang and me? I mean, sure we're a…couple, but we rarely show affection to each other. And when we do it's very small and in privet. (We don't want to Flock to see us like that. It might freak them out, and\or scar them for life.)
"How do you know about that?" I asked her, proud that my voice didn't shake.
This was really bad.
"We have been monitoring your every move." She said easily, and leaned back in her chair. "The 'Erasers', as you like to call them, have been secretly hiding whenever you move to a different place."
I grinded my teeth together and my nails dug into the leather armrest. How could I not have known?
"Take the cave with that big clearing for instance. They were hiding in the bushes and trees all around you."
What? Then how come Angel couldn't hear their thoughts?
"They are like Omega."
I jumped in my seat and nearly yelped.
"Voice? Is that you?"
"Yes, Maximum, it is me."
"Wha'…how…?"
"I'll explain later, but I think you have something more important you should be concerned about right now."
Oh, right.
Carol.
I blinked, and my eyes focused on her. She was staring at me with a peculiar expression. I quickly changed my face, so I glared at her now. She gave me that same face for a minute, before she slowly gave me a small smile. Except it was one of those the cat gave Alice in "Alice in Wonderland."
"Can I ask you something, Carol?" I tried to distract her, "I can call you Carol, right?" I asked in a sweet innocent voice that I did not what-so-ever deserve.
She smiled back, easily distracted, "Of course, Max." She looked happy, and a little excited though she hid it, that I was playing along in her little world.
"So, I wanted to ask you," I frowned deeply, like I had taken great thought to this, "How old of a lady are you exactly?"
Her smile vanished as soon as I finished my sentence. It was replaced by a deep frown, which brought out a lot of wrinkles in her face. It fit her though. Went with the whole "I'm Important" attitude.
"Excuse me?" she asked brusquely, "What did you say?" I could see a vein bulge from her temple. Her face was turning red from her anger.
And all I did was ask her how old she was…
"I'm guessing you're not going to tell me how old from your facial expression."
Suddenly she leaned forward and pointed her finger at me, "Listen here, you little experiment." I frowned at that. I'm a person, well, a special person. "You really don't want to push my buttons, because your Flock will pay for your mistakes!" she leaned back in her chair, breathing a little harder, looking pleased with herself.
"You wouldn't dare." I growled at her, my eyes in a deathly glare, "I swear if you lay a finger on any of them, I'll kick your butt into next week." I clenched my teeth together to control my anger.
No one threatens my Flock. No one.
"Now, don't you threaten me Maximum Ride!" She yelled at me, "Or you Flock will pay for your act-"
I lunged across the table and tackled the lady into the ground. She had flipped backward, out of her chair, and her arms went flailing out. A surprised yelp came out of her mouth as she went down. I pinned her to the ground and snarled, "The name is Max, and no one threatens my Flock!"
I managed to get a punch in before I was yanked off of her by four very hairy arms. I kicked and tried to get loose, but their grip never faltered. They just gripped me tighter, so tight I felt my arm pop, but I was too mad to notice.
Carol had finally gathered herself together, and walked in front of me. Her hair was a rat's nest, and her lip was bleeding from when I punched her. Most of all though, she looked furious. No, furious didn't even cut it, she was enraged, infuriated, incensed, take your pick. She was all of those put together.
Then she slapped me.
I know that a human slapping me isn't supposed to hurt, but for some reason, it did. I don't know why, but it just…hurt. I felt my head snap sideways, and I spit the blood that was coursing through my mouth out on her too-expensive shoes.
I heard her suck in a deep breath before she said; "Take her to watch our show we've made for her. We can't have her miss it. She's our guest of honor." Carol grinned at me evilly
I just spat another round of blood onto her other shoe.
Her face tightened again, "And start with the quiet one." I felt my heart lurch, "Let's see her reaction to him."
I glared at her as I was dragged out of the room. Her eyed stayed locked with mine the whole time. They were icy and cold, yet they were anxious and excited.
I knew what made them so happy. The same thing that made me sick to my stomach, and want to puke. She liked it when I showed pain. She liked it how she knew I'd do anything for my Flock. Anything in the world.
Even if it meant I had to die.
Chapter 5 is done!! Okay, I know Max was a little OOC (out of character) but I had to make her like that so she would get in a lot of trouble. I was going to put another part in here, but it would have changed the whole, entire chapter, and I need Max to get in trouble. You'll see why later. (The other part was Max being very sarcastic, and that would've made this story more of a comedy. I didn't really want a comedy story here. Maybe some other time. ) So, now I've made it clear that Max and Fang are together. Max and Fang are together! Yes! (Fan girls scream) Haha. That includes me. Please comment! Puleeez!!
Thanks!
