So, we're at chapter, what, seven?

Well, whatever.

So the flock is a little bit protective of Hollie now.

(I don't know why, I'm just spinning out the story, tbh.)

Aah Well.

Do you know, i'm really sad, because, hey, I have like no reviews.

:'(

Well, 2.

But thats not the point.

Maha.

Disclaimer:

I do not own Maximum Ride.

I therefore am not Jp

I therefore I have just borrowed his characters.

(Although I do have other characters.)

I'm not going to claim them, though, because i'd be honoured for someone to used them.

That would be great times.

Enjoy the story, and Happy Easter.

Also, happy Wednesday.

Okay...

As I felt my wings lift me, 12 feet at a time, I made the mistake of looking at the rest of the flock.

Zack was frowning- at me- Ellie looked sympathetic, and Luke just looked downright angry.

I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Issy. She was steeling herself for a fight.

I didn't blame her. I was too.

As soon as we got near enough to hear, Luke started talking.

'Come on. We need to land and rest.', He paused and looked at me. 'And you and I are going to talk about your brilliant decision of ignore orders.'

Woah, sarcasm. Harsher than I thought.

And, why were they not angry at Issy? She'd ignored them as much as I had. And she was older.

We flew in slience- a rare thing.

About forty minutes later, we found a rocky outcrop- not a place to stay, but decent to land on.

As soon as we landed, Issy burst into tears. 'Y-y-you s-s-sh-should h-have -s-seen it. P-poor Aunty-Aunty Angel, s-she w-was c-covered in b-blood...'

Thankyou, Issy! I was thinking, hoping the others had forgotten about me.

No chance.

Luke must've had the same thought as me, because he grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the other side of the (small) island.

'Hollie, you idiot', he hissed. 'Are you crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you have a death wish?'

'Luke. Did Zack show you our mom?'

He nodded, unwillingly.

'Then you have to see why I had to go.'

He swallowed, then nodded again.

'And now, i'm going for a swim.'

He grabbed my wrist. 'Hollie, I don't care how good you're reason is, I'm not letting you out of my sight again.'

I rolled my eyes. 'Aw. Cute. Why do you get to tell us what to do anyway?'

'Because i'm the oldest.'

'Dude, i'm fifteen, you're seventeen. Everyone else is sixteen. Big difference.'

'Titch, you've just demonstrated my point. You're the youngest, you don't get to do the dangerous stuff.'

'Dammit, I'm going to have to do something dangerous now', I muttered.

'Anyway, you do realise they'll propably move our parents and their project to a temporary site now?'

Luke's eyes widened in shock. 'What? Hollie, what did you do?'

I winced. I'd forgotten I hadn't told them yet. 'Er, well, y'see, I kinda, well, sort of, well-'

'Hollie, get on with it.'

'Well-I-sort-of-accidentally-opened-a-porthole-and-flooded-the-place', I gabbled, skipping back a few steps.

Luke's mouth fell open. 'You did what?!'

Well. Some people are just never grateful. Defensively, I said, 'Well, what was I supposed to do? He was about to-'

'But that's brilliant!'

You what?

'Er, Luke, what did I miss? Last time I looked, it wasn't so good.'

'That was before, this is now. Come on, we need to speak with the others.'

So, a couple of minutes later, we were standing in flock, talking about the plan of action.

'Right. I need to go, because i'm the leader. Ellie needs to go, because she can convince people we're 100% human. Zack can tell us the direction we're going in. Issy- i'm not leaving you with Hollie, so-'

'Hey!', That was me, annoyed. 'Why am I not even allowed to go?'

'Because I don't trust you not to get yourself killed.'

I gritted my teeth.

'Luke, i'm not going to get myself killed. And if you just leave me here, i'll follow you anyway. You know that, right?'

Luke nodded. 'That's why i'll stay here. That way, we can help if anything goes wrong, as well.'

I groaned internally.

'Okay.'

And that was when I had my great idea.

Zack, Zack, ZACK!

What? He asked back grumpily.

You tell me where you are when you get there and me and Luke will come.

You mean you'll sneak off and Luke will follow.

Dammit, rumbled. But I said that laughing; I knew Zack would tell me where he was. And I was going to save my mom and my family. I just didn't know how yet.

So, you like?

I hope so.

Please please review anyway.

And, once again, Happy Wednesday.

Okay.

That button there? That says review on?

Well, please review.

Please?
