Chapter 8
So as many of you know I am falling out of the second story of a four-story building. Sounds fun right? Yea, it would be if it wasn't for the fact that my wings were tied down, and the Flock was still getting out of the building. So, I have absolutely no way of stopping my fall unless either:
I get super duper strength and the ropes cut, thus leads to me opening my wings.
One of the Flock members, (particularly Fang and/or Iggy) develops super speed and catches me.
I suddenly become a fairy!
Yeah, C's not going to happen.
I looked down, and closed my eyes to prepare myself for the huge, painful impact I am about to have.
I heard someone scream, "Max!"
Then I felt my body collide with the ground.
Well, hello ground nice to see you too!
The wind was knocked out of me and I think I heard a rib or two crack. Luckily I did not go head first, but made myself literally do a belly flop on the ground. It felt like every bone in my body was either bruised or cracked. I know some of you are probably thinking, "But wouldn't you be dead or knocked out?" Well, yea, I would be, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm genetically enhanced. Then I would either be dead, or paralyzed from the neck down.
I moaned and muttered a not-too-nice word.
I swear, sometimes I absolutely hate gravity.
"Well, that wasn't pleasant." I muttered to myself, frowning. I couldn't move a muscle without searing pain going throughout my body.
Talk about needing a pain med.
"Max!" I heard Angel yell and soon I heard someone land, followed by other someone's.
I felt someone gently touch my back and I hissed in pain, feeling the prickle of tears coming to my eyes. The hand quickly snapped back.
"Um, ow?" I said, my eyebrows raised
"Max, can you move at all?" Iggy asked me.
"I don't know." I said, grinding my teeth together, "I tried, but it wasn't happening for me."
"Like you can't move or it hurts too much to move?" Fang asked, his voice was wary
"Um, the second one."
"Ok, Max we need to pick you up." Iggy said, "We need to move. The Gasman and I planted that bomb in the building that's going to go off in…" he paused and I guess he was looking at the Gasman because Gazzy was the one who answered.
"Five minutes."
"Ok, five minutes." Iggy finished
Oh, this is just peachy!
I nearly groaned, but I didn't. Because I'm Maximum Ride and I really don't want to turn into chicken noodle bird kid this early in life.
"You ready?" Fang asked quietly
I nodded.
"Ok, let's flip her Ig."
I sucked in a deep breath preparing for the pain.
They gently lifted me and flipped me over, like I was as light as a feather.
But that did not feel like some dinky feather caressing your face.
I closed my eyes tightly together, and tried hard not to scream. I clenched my hands in fists, and I felt my nails dig into my palm. My teeth were clenched so hard together my jaw was starting to hurt.
Then finally they had me lying on my back.
I blocked the pain as best I could. It was slowly starting to evaporate from my body and soon there was just a sting of pain here and there. It wasn't as bad as before.
"Max?" I heard Nudge ask carefully.
I opened my eyes and saw the worried faces of my Flock.
They all stared at me with worry and fear in their eyes. Angel looked like she was about to cry, and Nudge was trying to look brave in front of Angel, along with Gazzy. Iggy and Fang just looked concerned. But they all continued to stare at me.
Finally I had enough, "What are you guys doing?! Let's go!" I said impatiently.
The pain was ceasing now thanks to ultra super bird kid healing powers. You gotta love them!
"Fang help me up."
He came and gently helped me sit up. He kept his hand lightly on my shoulders to support me.
"Max, you can't fly." Iggy said, looking a little more anxious since we had to get out of here.
I gave him a "No duh, Sherlock" face, but it was wasted on him.
"I'll take her." Fang said, "You guys get out of here."
They all looked at me. I nodded. Then they all took off.
"You ready?" Fang asked me, his dark eyes concentrating on my face.
I nodded, and looked up at the Flock hovering above the school, waiting for us to come and join them.
Fang gently lifted me up and tucked my close to his chest. He opened his black wings and then took off.
I gritted my teeth together the whole time, but the pain was less now. I could tell that some of the bruises and cracks were starting to heal, even though I had been down there for about 8 minutes.
We caught up to the Flock finally with just 1 minute to spare. They looked relieved and had small smiles on their faces.
"Five, four, three, two," Gazzy and Iggy counted down at the same time. Excitement was in both of their eyes, "ONE!"
BOOM!!
The whole building blew up and made a mushroom looking thing of smoke. Debris and glass were flying in every direction, and we flew a little farther away to keep out of harm's way. The smell of smoke and TNT floated its way over to us.
Iggy sighed and breathed deeply.
I looked over at him to see he had a proud satisfied smile plastered on his face.
"I love the smell of dynamite in the morning."
YAAY!!! Chappy all done!! PLeeeeez pleeeeeez review. Sorry if all you Fax lovers are like, "What? He didn't catch her?! What?!" But sorry, I just wanted Max to keep getting the short end of the stick, and that was part of it! Please review!
Thanks!
