BY the way please vote on my poll and also, I am now a beta reader, so if anyone needs help? Yeah.
Laura.S-x: LAURA, this is the second time i reply to you so yeah, real annoying. About the already reviewed thing, its becausei deleted one chapter. Sorry. Yeah the shriek and thud thing? you'll see. Thanks and the diff povs thing was maxridelvrs idea.
xstephstephx: Thanks, and thanks.
maximumrideaddict: THANKYOU
jennah: Sorry, im bad at geography and it didn't even cross my mind. If i have a chance, i'll go back and change it to a really bad storm.
maxridelvr357: Thanks for reviewing anyway, see above for reason in Laura's review. Sorry. And thanks again for the diff povs idea. DON"T HACK THE COMPUTER.
tessthedragonfreak: Basically, Fang and Max fight, Fang accuses max of not caring about the flock, and she gets pissed. Without thinking, she kisses him. He stops being pissed and kisses her back but she gets scared and flies away. Fang follows her. Iggy hears a thud. You will find out what happened in this chapter. So far the human wannabe's are just guys. SO FAR.
Amethyst-Violet: Yeah, JP was never specific. My speculations:
Max: White-collared kite.
Angel: Gyrfalcon
Nudge: Harris's hawk
Iggy: Red tail hawk
Gazzy: Osprey
Fang: Great Black Hawk
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
Amethyst-Violet: The human wannabes have moving things in their eyes. Unnoticable unless you know its' there and before u ask how max can see into their eyes, they have really good vision.
2sides2evrystory: Thanks
Delilah's Garnet: THANKS FOR THE NAMES: Yeah pimple faces or human wannabes would be great for taunting. and maybe DEZIMATORS, would be awesome. THANKS AGAIN, next chappie there will be a dedication to you for the names.
Brooke Walsh: Thanks, see above, as in RIGHT ABOVE THIS SENTENCE, for the names. THe erasers aren''t called erasers as in pencil eraser's, they're erasers because they kill, or remove. As in another euphemism for expire, retire, remove. etc. NOT PENCIL ERASERS. You will see what i do with max and fang. And they will find the new director, soon. I don't like capturing, cause it slows down the story. Unless you need a reason to bring them to the school. And maybe there will be a Brooke later on, just as a reward for such a long review. And thanks for the piano exam comment, i haven't gotten the result back but when i do, i'll tell you.
Dejah: Yeah, i know, and thanks for liking it THIS MUCH. the fourth book isn't amazing as the others, but i'l l wait till you read it. Yeah, i went here because of lack of MR too. I do try to write like JP, i find that the stories always sound better if they're in the same style as the original. I find it hard to write chapters all the same length, and i end up wanting to end with a good phrase. Like a shriek and a thud. THen silence. LOL. A good cure for writers block is to read alot and brainstorm the most out there random ideas you can think of. Find stuff noone's done before. That's how i get my ideas anyway.
firefairy2917: TOO late, sorry, good idea though.
2sides2evrystory: THANKS
Angel-Jade666: You should review more often, Hint HINT, Anyway, thanks.
SO, HERES MY SHORT VERSION OF THE CHAPTER, SEE ABOVE FOR REASON. SORRY.
Chappie 14:
I took off, soaring low over the trees, trying to blend in with shadows. Yes, that is the way my mind works. That kiss had opened a gate to all sorts of deep feelings the great Maximum Ride didn't usually feel and I wanted to close that gate again. . It just hurt too much, to look into his eyes and see so much emotion, after what he had said. I wasn't ready for this. Stupid bird-kid uncontrollable emotions towards tall, dark and handsome idiot best friends. I was so caught up in fluently (and colourfully) insulting Mr. Unemotional that I didn't see the dark shadow catching up to me until it passed over me.
Now when your flying, and you're gonna have to take my word for this, when a shadow suddenly passes over you, you don't duck and run, you duck and dive.
I muffled any sounds a normal person would have made and casually plummeted downwards, trying to make it look like I was meant to be randomly diving down at a forest somewhere in Northern France. And no, it was not a bird. Birds don't have wingspans that are fourteen feet wide.
I shot towards the trees at more than 200 miles per hour and hit the ground running. I dodged between the trees silently, weaving skillfully. Aftera close-encounter with a nearby tree. I immediately took off into the undergrowth, ducking and weaving between bushes. Or rather, that's what I would have done. What stopped me, you're probably asking. Well, what stopped me was someone catching hold of my wrist. I shrieked and whirled.
I spun around with my other fist ready and yanked the attackers hand behind his back.
He kneed me in the stomach and pulled me into a headlock.
I sighed, resigned.
'Fang'
Now, Fang and I are pretty evenly matched when it comes to fighting, growing up together, being taught to fight by the same person, la-di-dah. But you didn't think I was giving up that easy.
I jumped up, with a snap kick into his thigh and a pinch onto the hand holding me. And bolted. His arms snaked around my waist and pulled me back against him, my head tucked under his chin. We fit together so perfectly. I shook my head slightly to get rid of that thought.
'DONT run away from me', he hissed. 'Why were you crying?'
No, not this, not another heart-on-the-sleeve, touching conversation. I hated these. Insult Anne about her childhood? That I could do. Talk to Fang about the whole you and me thing? Not so much.
I groaned softly, sinking down slowly with my back against the tree. I buried my head in the crook of my arms. He probably sat down next to me, cause his arm was soon around me, rubbing soothing circles on my shoulder. Not helping. I wanted to hit him and scream that nothing was okay since he kissed me. Well, that was what i thought i wanted. But something in me, deep down, was whispering that what i really wanted was to kiss him senseless. Another head shaking denial incident followed that idea.
I snapped my head up and my eyes met his dark ones. I saw nothing but concern there and that pissed me off to no end.
I growled. 'First you tell me I treat you like a robot. I kiss you then you kiss me back like you actually care after all of that stuff you said. I'm not a toy Fang, and I'm not stupid. You can't drag me around and drop me when you see another girl you like. Your taking advantage of my feelings when you kiss me and it's not gonna work.'
He scowled. I could see disbelieve and denial in his eyes and he suddenly stood. I expected him to leave, and closed my eyes and the next thing I knew, I was pinned against the tree. He dragged me up, the bark scraping my back and ruffling my feathers. He kissed me so hard I almost lost control but I managed to not respond.
Fang pulled away, and ran his hands through his thick hair, as if to calm himself . It didn't seem to work. He started to shout.
'God Max, Why don't you get it? I've tried so hard to make you understand, I've tried to talk, tried to wait but I'm sick of it. Why won't you listen? I love you!'
WHOA! Did not expect that. MAJOR heart stopping incident. I gaped, and leant back against the tree. A few tears escaped me again.
'Fang,' I began. 'You know i love you. If you don't, you could easily take the prize for most oblivious moron since Jeb. But it won't work. We've been dodging Itex and whoever else for ages now, and their snapping at our heels. Literally, with the erasers. When you kiss me, hell, when you come near me, i can't think straight. And that's not good. We need clear heads to fight, Fang, we need logic to survive. This is a distraction, and a big one. It could be used against us, anything could happen.'
'So you're scared?' He asked softly. I could see something in his eyes behind the whole Fang face and I couldn't tell what it was. Almost longing, hurt and denial. But that wasn't important. Fang, the guy who was afraid to open his mouth and talk was calling me a coward!
I growled, and pushed him to the ground. Stepping over, i flicked my hair, and yes I HAD washed it, and started to walk away. But before i did, I spun on my heel, pushed Fang, who had started to get up, back onto the ground and lent over.
My lips almost touching his, I glared into his smouldering eyes. 'Maybe, I am a coward' I hissed against his mouth, 'But it's gotten me this far, and it's gonna get me further.'
Well, let's hear it for paranoia, guys. I took off, flapping hard, pushing into superspeed almost instantly, worried about the flock.
I got back and saw all four sleeping peacefully, Total and Akila curled between them. I smiled slightly as Iggy greeted me with a nod. He knew better than to mention before and rolled over, snoring almost instantly. Looking around, I saw that we couoldn't have chosen a better place to spend the night. The cave was almost hidden by the shadow of the cliffs opposite and the moon was covered with grey clouds.
It was about time things started looking up.
Famous last words.
Please review!
I know you might not be bothered, lah-di-dah but PLEASE.
Seriously, if everyone who read reviewed it would be so awesome. Even if its just one word like BOO or Yay.
JUST PLEASE
It only takes a minute or less of your life.
LOVE YOU GUYS!
