I don't own Max Ride.
Star (Max) Pov
After we left the school we realized that we have no real plans. Right now we are at the grand canyon. Its nice. We decided to fly down to the bottom and check it out.
It was nice, Shadow had an idea to make a home down here.
"Wait here" he told me.
"What if Erasers attack me?" I asked. He burst out laughing. Then I asked "What?"
"You should only be worried that the U.N. army attacks you" He laughed. Then he fazed trough the side of the canyon with his shadow powers and came out a minute
later.
"What did you do?" I asked
"Follow me." He told me. Then he held out his hand and Shadows covered the wall in roughly the shape of an arch about 8 feet at it highest point. He then walked
through it and I followed. We were in a room about 600 feet high and 1000 feet wide and long.
"Two questions." I said.
"Okay" He responded.
"First how did you make that shadow I could walk through" I asked
"Inside an object is pitch black so by focusing on that darkness I can make an object temporarily intangible." He replied "and now for the next question once again
focusing on the darkness I made a small gap about a half a millimeter at were the walls of this room now are, then created a shadow door to the earths core were the
separated part sank to then melted."
"How do I get in?" I asked.
He pointed to the wall that I walked through and said "Look." When I looked at the wall I saw small holes, so many I couldn't even count them all, 100 feet up the size of
pencils. After a moment he said "Those holes provide the room with light also you can light travel through them"
I changed into a beam of light and left through one of the holes and went out side. He shadow traveled through the wall.
Once outside I asked, " How do we find this place again" He then walked up to the wall and using dark energy inscribed a large 'S' about five feet tall into the wall
about to feet off the ground.
"S for Star or Shadow just follow the river till for see it." He answered.
"It is getting late what do you want to do?" I asked.
"In an hour or two we can get some food" He answered.
"Won't all the places be closed?" I questioned.
"Exactly." He answered.
"But that's stealing." I said.
"Listen Star I'm not saying we take hundreds of dollars. I'm saying we go to a Stop and Shop or a Wal-Mart and get a bag of bread and some cold cuts and maybe a
box of cereal for tomorrow morning, we need to eat I think that store can spare ten dollars worth of food." He reasoned.
"I guess your right, they won't miss ten dollars" I agreed. So when it got dark we found
the nearest Wal-mart an got a package of sliced ham, a bag of bread, a box of fruit loops,
and a twelve pack of Dr. Pepper. It came out to about 8 dollars.
Fang Pov
"Why don't we go to the grand canyon Fang we never got to go because of the Erasers, but I don't hear any Eraser thoughts so the must be pretty far away so we
should get a jump on them." she said shakily probably thinking of when we were planning on going to the grand canyon and what we learned.
"Sure" I replied. No one disagreed nobody has been talking, even Nudge. In fact I might speak the most because I have to tell the flock what to do. "Up and Away
guys". We flew for about an hour till Gazzy asked if we could get food.
"Okay guys lets land and find a McDonalds or something" I said I dropped being closely followed by Iggy, then Nudge, then Gazzy, then Angel. We got free Burger
King, courtesy of Angel. Then we took off again toward the Grand Canyon. After flying for about three hours we made it to Arizona, my thoughts filled with Max's death
and how here mother and sister were. Truthfully we didn't only kill Max, but we crushed to others whom were practically family. Angel sniffled she must've heard my
thoughts there. She nodded. When we got to the grand canyon we decided to go down and camp next to the river. We found some odd 'S' shape inscribed in the rock
and decided it was a good place to set up camp cause if we went off for a fly or swim or some other thing we could find it.
AN: tell me what you think please reviews help because I'm having trouble thinking how to continue after the next chapter or two. Reviews always help as long as they are constructive and not just flames or asking for an update. Also ever chapter i try to put it in Star's Pov then in Fang's and what they are doing at about the same time. So the flock showed up at the Shadow/Star house mabey half an hour after they get back from the store.
