Hey guys. Ally the Third here. Sorry for not updating for so long but school has been, like, smothering me. I will try and catch up tonight and update a couple of chapters, I have them all planned out so they will 90 be up tonight, unless, like, the house burns down. So all cool there.

Just a whole randomness thing, what is with people putting AN in their chapters. I mean, when you read Maximum Ride, after a funny bit you don't see, like, JAMES PATTERSON NOTE: LOL I AM LAUGHING SO HARD. Or when they kissed, like, JPN: AWW SO SWEET. So I just don't get it No offence, but it sorta spoils the mood

LAUREN: I'm just gonna call you Lauren now cause its too confusing to remember the order of the dots and dashes. Sorry, thats how my brain works. YES I DID MEAN YOU. I didn't have time to review(see above for excuses) but I'm telling you here it was really good. The story line was interesting, i've never seen that sort of idea developed like that before. A bit more sarcasm for Max would've been good but she's older so thats okay cause she might've changed. Maybe a bit more speech between the characters, but like I said before, it was really good.

And about the confusingness, it was meant to be. Like I said, suspense is cool and like the amazing and awesome Maximum Ride, may she live forever (the chronicles of narnia is cool) the story will unravel s-l-o-w-l-y.

Moving on (I'm still talking to Lauren, cause she had a really long review. )

Reply to bad stuff:

I'm trying to make them longer but if they're any longer than this they will end up uber-boring and there will be no suspense and it won't be fun to right. And evil-cliffie's are awesome. I'm a sucker for suspense. (Is that how you say it) XD I've tried to fix the layout here. If you think it could improve, review and tell me how please.

REply to good stuff:

THANKYOU. I 3 constructive critcism!

OH AND BTW, IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT SO THE 'NEXT CHAPTER' LINK APPEARS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AS WELL AS THE TOP COULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME. BECAUSE ON MY COMPUTER WHEN I LIVE PREVIEW MY STORY IT ONLY APPEARS AT THE TOP AND I HAVE TO SCROLL BACK UP TO GO TO THE NEXT CHAPTER.

Chapter 4:

He just stared me down, unflinching. He was the only one immune to my death glares. His eyes were impassive, I dunno where he learnt that whole shut down emotional sensors thing but he was getting good. But then again I am Maximum Ride.

The Maximum. The Ultimate. That's what I was made to be.

And I do not back down.

'We gotta leave' I stated.

'Well done, Genius'. Okay now he was starting to piss me off. Just because a couple of human girls happened to pump up his ego he thinks he's allowed to be in charge. I'm the one calling the shots around here and that's not gonna change.

'That's Miss Genius to you.' Tossing my ponytail, I spun on my heel and marched away. I know what you're thinking, total blonde moment. And I just used the word total, just confirmed your fears, yeah?

Well let me tell you something. Something that you guys with the luxury of shampoo and hot water may not know about. Flicking your hair does not work if it happens to be one giant mat of muddy tangle and twigs. So all I managed to do was wallop myself with my pathetic excuse for a ponytail.

Mr. Tall Dark and Silent snickered. Grinding my teeth (and I know he heard because he just chuckled harder) I turned back again. This whole one step forward two steps back thing really was the craze these days. We weren't getting anywhere. And I don't mean in our relationship, for all you Oprah wannabes. I mean in our life.

I rested all my weight on my left foot and planted my grubby hand on my hip while fixing Fang with my most demeaning look. It was the one I used when I talked to Dr. ter Borcht. Good thing Angel couldn't read eyes as well as minds or she would know a lot of swear words by now. Being Fang, he didn't react.

Ugh.

Was he trying to drive me nuts on purpose. Cause if he was, he was doing a good job. Like a voice in my head wasn't enough. First he's all friendly, then he goes silent and all I'll-be-here-for-you-always then he kisses me, gets angry, teases me, leaves, is nice again and now he's teasing me again coupled with the silent thing. No wonder I have a permanant headache.

'What?' I hissed.

'Nothing.' He snorted. Well I was used to picking up lies from mad and evil scientists. I wasn't fooled by his lame attempt at innocence.

'Okay. When you're ready to tell me how, by any stretch of the imagination, nothing relates to me walking away from you, come talk to me. Nudge. You done?'

I didn't even bother to look back to see his expression (no doubt pissed off) I walked over to Nudge and bent over her. She looked faintly troubled but she basically had this confused stare on her face. We seemed to be pulling that a lot lately. This on the run thing sucked. Especially with new non-human humans, that were super strong and Fang and puberty and

MAX

Speaking of the devil.

MAX-YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THERE! MORE ARE COMING!

Crap. Four letter word, four thousand definitions. This was definitely far up on that list of the worst. I barked orders.

'Nudge, forget the thing, more are coming. Move, move, move! Fang? Get your butt up there before I get it up there for you.'

I took Nudge's hand and together we soared upwards. I know what your thinking, two beautiful girls with wings streaking towards the sun, hair streaming behind them. Well, apart from the whole hair-could-house-several-rats-and-various-other-things the sky being a strange puke coloured yellow didn't help.

We gotta get out of here.
