Me: Kayla got my cold. Sorry. So we bring in my trusty dog Daisy.
Daisy: Hi!
Me: She'll be leaving shortly.
Daisy: Where's Total?
Me: Huh?
Daisy: You never mention Total.
Me: * slams forehead against wall * I KNEW I was forgetting something.
Daisy: Do you want me to do the disclaimer now?
Me: Sure, I'm gonna go try and make this story less confusing. * leaves grumbling about enhanced dogs *
Daisy: She owns me and all the OC's. Nothing that is mentioned in James Patterson's Max Ride.
Kayla: You my friend are terrible.
Daisy: I'm just a dog!
Me: Shut up!
Daisy & Kayla: Onwards! Jinks! Double Jinks! Tripple Jinks!
Me: GUYS!
Daisy: There shall be Fax. Just warning.
Max POV
Oh jeez, I have a new power. I have a twin. She's gonna be here in 2 1/2 a minute. But, who are all those other faces? The has been too much noise. A bomb explodes every 10 minutes thanks to Iggy and Gaz. Nudge hasn't stopped singing Taylor Swift. I swear, I know Forever & Always by heart now. Angel keeps giving me sympathetic looks. Fang just blogs, occasionally asking if I was okay, or rubbing circles on that spot between my wings that makes me melt.
Total was sitting by Angel, who was petting him, 'cause he's depressed that Akila can't come with us. I mean, sure, I like dogs, but, an extra 70 pounds to carry on my 14 foot wingspan isn't comfy.
" I was ridin shot gun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car. He has a one hand feel on the sterrin wheel, the other on my heart. I looked around turned the radio down, he says, ' Baby is somethin wrong?' I say, ' Nothin I was just thinkin how we don't have a song.' And he says, ' Our song is a slammin screen door. Sneakin out late and tappin on your window. When we're on the phone and you talk real slow, cause it's late and your mamma don't know. Our song is the way he laughed,' The first date man I didn't kiss her and I should have.' And when I got home 'fore I said Amen, askin God if he could play it again. I was walkin up the front porch steps after everythin that day, had gone all wrong had been trampled on and a lost and thrown away. I got into the hallway went on my way to my lovin bed. I almost didn't notice all the roses and the note that sai-"
" Nudge, shut up!"I shouted when she had been singing for almost 2 minutes. I was getting a migraine to top it all off. " If I want to listen to Taylor Swift non-stop, we'll buy a radio or an iPod or whatever! I'm trying to see! They're gonna be here in half a minute. Tryto stop Nudge. I'm getting a migraine. And I swear Gazz if one more bomb goes off you and Iggy will be dead bird-kids. Angel, why are you looking at me like-?" Fang pressed his lips against mine. Effectively shutting me up. Although, it also shut down my thought process. And my ability to see the future. And my rational mind. But, my irrational mind threw my arms around Fang's neck. My unconscious mind made my hands grab his hair in fists. Then, my conscious mind decided to appear and remind me that I could kiss Fang for twenty more seconds. Then it decided to leave again when Fang deepened the kiss and wrapped his arms around my waist. Warmth was going through my arms where ever they touched him.
A cookie timer went off,in my mind and told me that they were about to land, 10 feet away from where Fang and I were having a make-out-fest. I, reluctantly, pried my arms off of Fang. Turned around and took a couple of steps forward. This was our intimidating position. I was in front, naturally, and Fang, being my right-wing man, was flanking my right, Angel was on my left, because she was my baby and my little evil and helpful mind reader. Iggy and Gazzy were in a line on either side of those two, holding bombs, just in case you never know. Nudge was on Iggy's other side, closest to the forks. Did I mention that she can also make metal hot, like, white-hot. Creepy little kid.
They landed. Perfect.
( still) Max POV
The girl, Sammi if I'm not mistaken ( which I hopefully am not),stepped forward. Her hair was like mine, but opposite, she had blond hair with brown streaks, while I had brown hair with blond streaks. We had the same eyes. I stepped forward, my flock following me just as her's did. We were in almost exactly the same positions. Her right-wing man, Zack, was at her right, looking weirdly like Fang with his black atire, but, his hair had brown in it and his eyes were green. A girl, Sare, was to her left, she had blond hair, and blue-green eyes. She looked . . . dangerous and sweet at the same time. Her hair looked like the color of Angel's. But, the shape of her eye's were like Nudge. Hmm, put that on my invisible buliton board of things to do. To Zack's right was Trevor, a small boy that looked so cute,that you expected him to have dimples, and a lollypop all the time. Too bad he was a mutant freak. He had dark brown hair and eyes that were gray and looked like improbable stone. What did that mean?
" Hello, we've been waiting, Sam." I said, having a little fun. Zack tensed and moved a little closer. This is almost as cool as being a mind reader. Angel smiled from beside me, then quickly frowned.
What's up Angel? I thought looking down. You did tell everyone not to make direct eye contact with her, right?
I can't hear anything coming from them, it's like a shield or something. She thought. I quickly looked though the near future, that was easiest, and found the problem.
Improbable stone, improbable mind block. This is going to be hard. I frowned and looked at Trev. " We are not enemy's you know. We don't want to hurt you. Oh, and Sam, get Zackykinz to calm down." Sammi glanced at Zack, he didn't let up his stance. Trevor looked me in the eye, and I could tell he let down the shield because his eyes were suddenly lighter.
" Hello, Max. This is my flock, though it seems you already know who they are, Zack, Sare, and Trevor." She said holding out her hand, I looked at it as if I were shocked she would do such a thing. She let it fall, frowning slightly.
" This is myflock, Fang, Angel, Iggy, the Gazman, and Nudge. We know why you're here. We were planning on getting to know each other a little if you don't mind." I gestured for them to sit down, while my flock sat, loosening up and scooting a bit closer to me. Fang reached for my hand, I gave it to him, and intertwined our fingers, I put my arm around Angel.
So, what's the verdict? I asked Angel.
Sare loves us. Trevor thinks he can trust us. Sammi, well, she loves me and Gazzy, she doesn't know what to think about Iggy, she thinks Fang is okay 'cause your holding his hand, and she already thinks of you as her sister. Zack doesn't like you, mainly 'cause you called him Zackykinz. Oh, and he likes what Fang is wearing.
I laughed, Zack looked at me like I was crazy, making me laugh more. " Okay, first thing's first. Angel is a mind reader, shape-shifter, mind control, has gills, and can talk to fish, she is the youngest at the age of seven, my baby. Fang," I raised our hands. " Is my . . . other-half?" I said wondering if it was the right. I looked at Fang, he gave me a full-out grin that made me feel like Max the puppy dog. I'm going on a whim here and saying that I guessed right. " My right-wing man, he can turn invisible and he also has gills, age of sixteen. Angel's brother Gazzy, you really don't want to know, and he can imitate voices and can make bombs, ten years old. Iggy is the blind pyro, master chief, he can feel whiteness, see whiteness, same age as me and Fang. Nudge never quits talking and controls metal and can feel people's past actions just by touching something they've touched, is thirteen. Oh, and I, Maximum Ride, am destined to save the world, have super speed while flying, can see the future, and, oh, have a Voice in my head just like you."
Sammi POV
She has a Voice in her head too, maybe it's hereditary. I thought and watched the little one, Angel, giggle. Max turned, looked at her questioningly, and started laughing. What the hell is so funny? Oh, wait, she can read minds. Shit!
Language! Angel thought. Well, that's not creepy.
Angel and Gazzy are so cute, I knew they were related. Iggy is sort of . . . weird. Fang reminded me of Zack, 'cause of the silence and the clothes, they were going to be good friends. And, when Max said other half, and Fang grinned a way that almost made my heart stop. So, I could tell was a very rare thing, I knew Fang was Max's Zack.
" Do you guys already know everything about us or do you want an intro?" I said, taking Zack's hand.
" Well, Fang, Iggy, Gazy, and Nudge know nothing. So, an intro might be necessary." Max said calmly. She looked like me, except she had brown hair with blond streaks instead of the other way around.
" Okay, this is my Flock. Zack, my other half and right wing man, just like Fang, same age, he also has super speed, but on ground not in the air, and he can free-fall straight down, and not even slow down, and land. Trev, he has a sheild, it's physical and mental, he's a year older than Angel. Sare, is an interesing creature. She can do the honors of telling you about herself, it's a mile worth. And, me, Sammi, am leader of this paticular flock."
" Sarah or Sare, whichever you prefer. I'm fourteen, and I'm quite the weirdest out of this bunch. My powers are . . . unique." At this point Angel gasped, probably because Angel was hearing all of her powers. I would gasp too. Wait, I did gasp. I remember when she got her powers . . .
Ha! That's almost 2,000 words. The next chapter are going to be all of Sammi's flashbacks of when Sare got her powers. And, then after that, it'll go back to Angel POV of Sare explaining her powers to the Flock, then The Boy On The Rock That Ember Saw ( why is every word in that capatilized? IDK ). Did you get that? Total got mentioned! Although I have a bruise from where I hit my head against the wall. Yes, I actually did that. It was an accident I swear. Let's hear it for Taylor Swift for getting me through this chapter. Yes, I like a lot of music. Oh, and Max the Puppy was from Fang, but I haven't read it yet, cause I live in Cali. That means California. And, no, I'm not a MalabuBarbie. And, I'm not a dumb blond. I know how to use spell check ;).Review if you please. :D
