OK, I know the last chapter was horrible. But it was mostly filler. Hopefully, this chapter will be better. If you haven't read or don't even know yet, I have a new story out!! It's called "Maximum Ride: Feel the Music" it's a SongFic. Since I couldn't really do a good summary for it, I'll tell you about it here.
It's basically Max's life as a human. She lives with Jeb (unfortunately). Her best friend/ Step brother is Asher. They both formed a band when they were younger, and so yeah. Fang and Max don't know each other, but eventually they will. And so you won't worry, Asher doesn't like Max and vice versa. They're just really close, like siblings, though they really aren't siblings and don't even live in the same house.
You'll learn more about their relationship in the story. I hope you like it!!! Please read it and review!!
Oh, and review this story too please!!!
Thanks!

Chapter 24
Have you ever had a moment in your life when you wake up and are completely clueless? You have absolutely no idea what's going on? Well, have you ever had that happen and you wake up with no one around you, in a totally new and awkward environment?
Well, let me tell you.
It's not very fun.
When I woke up I had a throbbing headache. I sat up with one hand on my head and looked around. There was no one in sight. My Flock was nowhere to be seen. I looked around and saw a burnt out fire, some granola bar wrappers and our packs.
Well, where had they gone?
It was daylight out. The sun was sitting high in the sky, just above the canopy of trees that surrounded our campsite.
I clumsily stood up, my hand still holding my pounding head.
"Fang?" I called out, "Angel, Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge?"
I stumbled around the dead fire, while trying to shake myself from the dizziness.
Where the heck is everyone?
"Voice? Vooice?"
Nothing.
"Really voice? You give me a killer headache then don't respond? Nice, Voice, Reeal nice."
Great now I'm talking to my inner self.
The back hairs on the back of my neck stood up suddenly.
I turned around in a fighting stance, still wobbling a little though. When I saw who it was I straightened up and put a hand to my chest, feeling my heart beating fast.
"Jeez, Fang." I said walking towards him, "Stop doing that."
He smirked, "What? Breathing?"
I grinned, "Shut up."
He walked up to me and gathered me in his arms.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." I heard him whisper, so quietly I'm not sure I even really heard it.
I just hugged him closer and breathed in his scent.
It seemed like I hadn't seen him in a long time, like we had been apart for years.
"How long was I out?" I asked him, resting my head on his hard chest.
I felt him gently press his lips on top of my head.
"For about two days." He muttered.
I stepped back, "Two days!"
He frowned, "Don't worry Max, we're fine, everything is fine."
"Where are the kids?" I asked, looking around anxiously.
I needed to just see if they were still alive after living two days without me, and as Fang as their leader. Who knows what goes on in that head of his.
Fang grinned, "They're flying around." He looked up, squinting against the sunlight as he searched for them.
I followed his example and looked up. I couldn't really see anything through the canopy of trees, but if you looked hard enough you could see four spots flying in the sky.
"Let's go." I said, opening my wings. I rolled my shoulders to try and get the kinks out. My wings were so stiff.
"Max, you sure you're ok to fly?" Fang asked me with a hint of worry on his face.
I smiled at him reassuringly, "I'm fine Fang."
He grinned back and then started walking off into the woods. I followed him, not really sure what he was doing, but I trusted him enough to go off into the woods alone.
"Not for long, Max."
I stopped walking and frowned.
Great, the Voice is back. Yaay…
"What do you mean not for long?" I asked it, "And where the heck were you when I actually called you for the first time in like, ever."
"I couldn't come then," The Voice replied, "And Max, soon your time will be up."
I felt my eyes widen and soon I was gulping breaths of air rapidly, as if I couldn't get any into my lungs.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I asked it. I was nearly seeing spots now, "I can't die yet! Voice please tell me I'm not going to die!"
I can't leave the Flock yet. Angel's only seven. She's barely even lost any baby teeth, and Nudge hasn't even gone through puberty yet! How is Fang going to explain that?!
I heard the Voice sigh. Can a voice in your head sigh? It's weird to say, but that's what it sounded like.
"Max, you're not going to die from an expiration date."
I swear I almost cried out with joy, but of course me being me, I didn't, "So now you're some fortune teller!!" I screamed at the Voice, "Well thanks! That helps a lot! Can you tell me when you're going to annoy me next? I might as well have a heads-up!"
The Voice didn't reply.
"So how am I going to die Voice?" I asked, all anger gone, "When am I going to die?"
I could feel my heart beat pounding inside my chest, and my mouth was as dry as the desert. Very faintly I could tell Fang had his hand on my shoulder, asking if I was alright, but I was too far gone to reply to him. All I was concentrated on was what the Voice's answer is.
"Max, you die fighting for your Flock." The Voice finally said, "You die fighting side by side with them, they don't die, but you do."
"You make it sound so nice." I told the Voice sarcastically, "When do I die this joyful death?"
I heard Fang yell at me just as the Voice said,
"Today."
Sorry for making it a cliffy again! I know I do that all the time, but I like cliffy's! And, I'm thinking that the next chapter might be the last. =( so sad, but who knows, it might not. Oh, and I'm also going to make an epilogue for this story. There won't be a sequel, because I don't really know what would be in that sequel. Please review!! And also read my other story please!! Read and Review!!
Thanks!
