Chapter 2
Maximum the Weak
Max POV
I looked down at myself as the rain continued. I was soaking- wait, I'm dry? It's raining like hell out here, and I'm friggin' dry? Really? I dismissed it as I unfurled my now burning one second, and cool the next wings, ready for take off.
I thought about how strange this is. Like, I could ask the voice, but it's not like he'll ever be there when I want him to be. I don't think I can be Max anymore. In my book, Max has too many memories of the flock. I think as, Nu- wait, Ella would say, exuberantly, I might add, time for a makeover!
Ella didn't betray me as the flock did. So, she's still on my good list. But, my mom has too nice of a heart, and that's most likely where they will stay. I guess, for my, ugh, makeover, I have to go to the mall. A.K.A., hell.
I'll spare you the crappy details of the shopping. Just, let me tell you what I got. I got a wig, that I sort of liked. It was styled straight, easy to style like normal hair, and waist-length with a blue streak in it. Those, are the parts I liked. The bad part however, was that it was red-haired and I had to tuck all of my hair in. Why not blonde? The problem was, that with my blonde-streaked brown hair, I still looked too much like Max.
Oh, the irony. I hate red-heads like Lissa and Bridgid. Now, I can hate myself with them too. My golden-flecked brown eyes were covered with green contacts, any other color with red hair looked strange. All I need, are a few pair of sluttish clothes, and I'll be a Lissa follower.
The difference is that I'm actually nice and am not the top Ms. Slut. I actually got clothes that cover up my but and don't expose my entire stomach. I bought a few pairs of black, grey, and blue skinny jeans with many off the shoulder tops and cami's inside.
My favorite is one that says " I did it all for the cookies!" and the cookie monster underneath it. Yes, it's off the shoulder. Yes, I love cookies. Yes, I'm still upset about the flock. This is just a distraction. Yes, I think that something is up with me and the weather. I know I should stop saying 'yes'.
I bought many multicolored bangles to pair up with the clothes. Also, I bought a few more smart alec off the shoulder shirts, that one was just my favorite. I bought a few Uggs and flats to fill up the whole look. At least I don't completely look like Lissa, (I won't look like Brigid, who isn't even my age.
As I led you to believe, I'm not completely fashion impaired. I just, hate going to the mall, and wearing (mental shudder) dresses. I left to the forest with my billions of bags and dumped it all into my super-large-and-durable-also-easy-to-carry backpack.
As I was now left alone, I started planning and tried not to break into tears.
Aw…Don't be sad.
Who's that?
Oh, I'm Lilly.
Lilly, who?
Lilly, 5 years old, ma'am!
That almost made me laugh.
Yay, I made you laugh! You know, I have wings too, you know.
That was a bit obvious, considering it's a little girl and she some how got into my mind like Angel. Where are you? I thought out to the little cutie.
I'm in the School, like you call it. I'm here with my brother, Zeke and my sisters, Jules and Kat. I'm the youngest. But, we need to get out. Eep!
The mental connection cut off rapidly, as if, she had to go. You know these sort of things when you've had a mind reader in you flock before.
I thought about their situation for a second. If they hadn't gotten out by now, their flock most likely didn't have a leader. A new hope settled inside of me. Sure, there would be one less person, but this would give me a new chance to start over. As a new person, I could help them, and hopefully lead them. I just need a new name…
A/N: Fang is missing. Zeke is supposed to be the Nudge pairing, as well as Kat for Gazzy and Jules for Iggy. Lilly is obviously supposed to be the Angel equivalent as her best friend. Also, the updates may be slow because my cousins came over for spring break. Sorry about it being shorter than before, with the long wait, but I was pondering the new name for Max, so I cut it off there. Any suggestions? Personally, I was thinking of Lim for Limited. Tell me what you think! Should it be Lim, or something else? Review! I will update sooner if you review…
