And so, the story shall resume! Chappie 2 for yah guys!
Yes, the Voice whispered in my mind, you must kill Fang. He is currently flying over this café. He will be here in 2.9 minutes.
What? I thought, bewildered. Bewildered enough to use three exclamation marks!Dang, was that a lot. I steeled myself, and got ready. What weapon, Voice? I asked. For all of you high-and-mighty people out there who are wondering how you can just kill your former best friend without a second thought, the operative word here is former. He's not my best friend. Anymore, anyways.
You are not to exterminate your target yet. The Voice says, giving me a surprise. This was interesting… You are to earn their trust, become leader of the flock, and lead them to REC. Kill Angel. She is a threat to all of us.
This was going to be interesting. I'd done spy missions before, but this would be especially fun. Deception and trickery. I almost felt bad for what I was going to do. Almost. I smirk to myself, and take a bite out of my muffin. I don't need to worry about getting poisoned or anything, because REC was smart enough to make me immune to every disease, poison, or virus ever known, and any ones that might be invented. Ain't that just handy? Also, don't need to worry about bombs either. I am completely bullet-, stab-, water-, fire-, bomb- proof. It's pretty convenient, really. It's all part of the Maximum Ride package: you're virtually indestructible.
The door opens, and in walks Fang, followed by the Flock. I see Iggy, and he looks older, but still the same boyish face. It was strange. Then, my eyes lock on Nudge. She looks about twelve now, and she has mocha skin with deep brown eyes. Her brown ringlets fall down her shoulders, and it shocks me to see how much she's changed. Next, I spy two blond children. The younger one, looks about six. She must be Angel. That makes sense, I think, she's so innocent looking. But innocence is exactly what I don't trust. Ironic, isn't it? I move on to the blond boy, Gazzy. He's probably nine or eight, though he looks older. They all do, being super tall for their age.
"Fang, do we have enough money to eat here?" Nudge asks, "Everything's kind of expensive, but it's nice to eat at an actual café instead of McDonald's for once. You know, I always thought cafés were so cute, and they're just so adorable! You know, I hope the food here is good. I am soo hungry! I could eat a horse, but that would be so sad to eat a cute little horse, don't you think? Oh, I always wanted a horse, but itwufsdsemes!" She said, muffled by Iggy's hand clamped over her mouth.
"Nudge! I don't need a hearing aid this early, you know?" Iggy said, taking his hand away.
Fang simply watched, a slightly bemused expression on his face. Then he saw me, and his eyebrow twitched a little. I didn't look away immediately, because that's too suspicious. I let my eyes wander away a little, and then returned my attention to my food. I finished off the muffins, while listening to their conversation the entire time.
"ZOMG!" Nudge squealed. "This muffin is so good! I really like the hot chocolate too!"
"ZOMG!" Gazzy mimicked, his voice sounding just like Nudge's. "The hearing aid I now require is awesome!"
Ahh… so they had some powers. Angel is a telepath, but she will be unable to read your mind. This will raise suspicion. Gazzy, as you noticed, can mimic any sound perfectly, and he has the power to make explosive with his immune system. The Voice chimed in. Nudge can attract metal to her at will, and she can hack almost any computer. Fang can fly faster than the rest of the flock, and he can blend into his surroundings.
Okay, I think. What's your point? Is there a power that's actually a threat to me? For those of you who think I sound cocky and arrogant right now, but it's cause I do have a lot of powers. For starters, besides all the super strength and stuff, I have telekinesis. And I can control elements, very avatar-ish right? And I can read what people's deepest fears are, and their deepest desires, and then make it come to life right in front of their eyes. Creepy, huh?
I see the flock start to leave. Quickly, I flag down a waitress, and pay my bill, leaving a hefty tip. Why Not? I'm in a good mood. Us assassins have our good days, you know. I follow them discreetly, but I make sure that they see me.
"Emmech walkure. Zech circe leon." Fang instructs, keeping his voice low. Not that it mattered. I would have heard them from fifty feet away, no joke.
I smirk. He's using the secret language we created back in the school. Hard left. Up and away at three o'clock, stack formation. "Piori mar rios. Cammé sten realis." I call out. Don't leave. That's an order.
Fang pulls himself into a fighting stance. "Who are you? With Itex? And don't order us around." He says, his voice hardening with an edge of steel.
"Aww… aren't you going to let me introduce myself, Fang? After all, we're all friends here, aren't we?" I say, pouting.
"Angel?" Fang asks.
Angel stares at me, here eyes unfocused as they try to search through my mind. Not happening, kid. You don't want to see what's in my head, and I don't want to scar you for life. Angel frowned, getting my message.
"I-I can't get a read on her," she said, suspicion in her eyes.
Fang keeps his fighting stance. "Who are you? What do you want from us?"
I smile. "Simple, Fang. I'm Maximum Ride."
Ohh! Another cliffy! I just love torturing you guys… mwahahahahaahahahaha! I really am evil, aren't I? To make it up to you, you guys will get fax later on, but with a twist. NO FRICKIN DYLAN in this story, because I hate his guts. A lot. And here are the questions….
How should Angel die? Will she be killed by Max? (yes, she is going to die. Cause she's evil.)
That's my only question. So… let's wait for the next cliffy to come, shall we?
