Okay, here's my new section: Awkward moment of the day!!! Today, I went to get some water, and I saw my principal wearing booty shorts, working out in the gym with the secretary. They were staring at me and it was really awkward.... and it scarred me for life.
By anyway.......Here's Chapter 8! Hope you like it (:
Sorry that it's short. I didn't quite get as many reviews as I would like to :P
Disclaimer: I don't own Max Ride. JP does. Put I do own bacon.... and celery for the vegetarians out there (you know who you are)
Enjoy~
Iggy POV
My mind was spazzing out.
You see, as soon as Jeb mentioned my mind, the forces controlling me began to push me down.
"Well, Iggy, you see, the forces in your mind only work when you're in the state you are in now."
I could feel my consciousness start to drift away as my own mind was forced further and further back. I wish Jeb would just tell me straight out! What was with all the riddles?
"They won't be able to handle it if...."
My hearing was becoming muffled, and Jeb's words sounded slurred.
"Theyyy'rree geeten songgeerr..."
I struggled to lift myself back up to the surface, as Jeb's voice was nearly completely inaudible. I needed to hear this.
But I was too weak.
I felt like I was being crushed under a huge boulder, slowly… crushing… me… me…
I could only remember one thing Jeb said: "Time's running out."
Max POV
Villandi. Something is seriously wrong with her.
On the first day I was here (well, if there are even days) she told me that she slept in the air. Now she's saying that she doesn't sleep at all. So what's her excuse? "It's not a true sleep. It's more like a… daydream. That's it."
But I can see in her eyes that she's thinking, whirring those wheels in her brain to come up with an excuse.
So our conclusion? Something's wrong.
But guess who doesn't believe me? Yep. Fang.
Flashback
"Fang," I whispered.
"Hm?" he answered, looking up at me from his hammock.
"Villandi. Something's wrong."
"How?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well, Fang, she's making things up. This spirit crap, it's so obvious that she's making things up."
"Max, she has an unnatural voice. But that doesn't mean that she's lying." Fang said in a harsh tone. Wow. He had just said practically the longest thing ever, to defend a girl who I know is evil.
"I can tell these things," I whispered back in the same harsh tone.
"Only in the flock. How many other people do you know?" he said, looking at me with a 'too bad' kind of expression.
"Fang! Just –"
Then suddenly, his lips were on mine, that sweet, luscious mouth that I could never get enough of. I took a breath in, and reveled in his deep, beautiful scent.
But this time, I pulled away.
"Fang!" I hissed again.
He just smiled that heartbreaker smile at me, and I immediately felt butterflies start to flutter in my stomach.
"Max, if you think Villandi's distracting me from you, you're so wrong," he said soothingly. "I love you. Only you."
I just had to smile. He was too… charming, perfect…
End Flashback
I hated how he could just take my mind off of anything, and put only himself at the center of attention, of everything.
It was always like that, even in the good ol' days back in the E house with the flock –
Oh. My. Gosh. The flock. Angel. Gazzy. Nudge. Iggy. Where were they? How were they? Were they hurt? Where they still –gulp – alive? Was Angel still trying to take over?
I couldn't believe that - that I hadn't thought of them. That meant only one thing: Something was way wrong with this place.
I sighed, a sigh of frustration. I had to find a way to get out of here.
Well, there was only one way to find out.
I sat up from my hammock that I'd been lying in, and jumped onto the cool floor.
"Villandi!" I called.
Like it? Hate it? I didn't let Iggy find out because I wanted it to be a surprise for ya'll...
Alright, review and tell me:
1) How should Angel get rid of her mind control?
2) How should Max and Fang bust out of that voodoo cavern?
A lot of reviews and you will get a uber-long chapter!!
Thanks so much!
Hugs and Fang,
Tammy
