Hey peoples I don't own Maximum Ride and I'm in Downtown Chicago as we speak…uh read and the hotel room is awesome. I'm insisting that I stay here for the rest of the week but that is not gonna happen. Does anybody watch the Secret Circle after Vampire Diaries? It's ah- maz- ing! Wait- where am I going with this again? I don't even know but it's so addicting and I keep on watching it because I didn't see it when it first started so I have to watch it on my laptop .… so before I get even more addicted to the show I thought well I should write because last time it took me like two months so…
"Iggy and I will be right over, Angel. You stay there, tell me if anything happens"
"Okay Max w- whoa there's an eraser here Max, tons of them, I can't take them all by myself, hurry, please!" Came Angel's frantic voice.I mentally freaked out, what if I didn't make it there on time; they would do the same thing they did to Angel as they did last time; take her back to the school and torture her. But right now I didn't have time to think, I needed to act. I stood up rather suddenly and Iggy could feel the tension coming from me and got the message. Fang was looking really confused.
"Is something wrong?" He asked in his deep hypnotizing voice.
Dang. I forgot to think of an explanation so I made a quick one up in my head.
"Well there's been an emergency, a car crashed into the pet store and my aunt got really hurt. Iggy and I have to go now." I said in a rush
"How do you know there's been an emergency, we were just talking."
I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and wiggled it to signify that I got a text from my phone. He got that look in his eyes that could tell me anything, but right now he was telling me that he knew I was lying and then asked,
"Well Brigit would've gotten a text message too wouldn't she have? I mean, it's her mom." He said with a sly smirk, knowing he has one
Did he just outsmart me…? No one has ever done that before, outsmart the Maximum Ride. I looked over at Brigit and she was flirting with some football player. Wait… what am I doing; right now I had to go save Angel.
I let out an aggravated grunt "look Fang I have to go now and I don't have any time to waste so are you coming or not?" I said in a harsh tone
I knew this was a chance I was going to take but let it be, I have to go save my little, sweet Angel. Without waiting for a reply I sprang up and ran out of the cafeteria and out from the school with Iggy and Fang at my side.
It would be hard for a human to keep up at the flocks pace when running but Fang; that was another story he definitely kept pace and was surprisingly outrunning me. I sprinted full speed ahead and made it to the elementary part of the school and burst in the doors.
Narrator
There were nearly one hundred erasers here. The teacher was screaming for the little kids to go under her desk since erasers were now guarding the door. Most kids were crying and screaming. The teacher looked frightened and looked like she was about ready to pass out. She counted the students and realized she was missing Angel. She called out her name several times and popped her head out over her desk in search for her. Angel was bloody and bruised, and as for right now was doing a round house kick at one of the furry, feral, formidable men courtesy of Max. She got him in a headlock and snapped his neck. He fell to the ground with a thump. On the next few she used her telepathy powers to make them go to the nearest lake and drown themselves. There were still about 70 left and she was getting weak, her hair ruffled, her knees about to go limp any second, her clothes tattered, blood stained and her skin bruised with black blue and purple all up her arms and legs and her mind was going out of control, aching, tiered from controlling too many things at one time. But so, she never gave up hope on Max and that willed her to keep going.
The teacher could barely believe her eyes at what she saw going on between this little, sweet girl and the big, tough animal looking things. The school needed help.
Max's POV
I searched and looked inside each classroom door, and wasn't close to finding the correct door. Just as I was about to give up and ask Angel where she was again, I heard a scream five doors down. But not just any scream; my Angel's scream.
I sprinted down the hall followed by Fang and Iggy calling Angels name listening for a response. My heart was beating fast against my chest in ache and worry. I stopped right outside the door and busted in the door. Nearly 70 erasers were in the large room. I was searching for Angel up and down till I spotted her sprawled out on the ground with her eyes half open.
I was startled but regained my composure and looked over the room. Kids were hiding underneath the teacher's desk with their eyes wide. The teacher was also crouched below looking frantic and worried.
"I see you could make it today; Max" A voice came from somewhere in the room. Throughout the bundle of Erasers; out stepped Ari.
"I see you've gotten desperate now; controlling and terrorizing a kid to try and plot us out. That was a low blow. Why do you even do this Ari? We could go back to the way things were, and we could be happy. Why can't you do that?"
"You wanna know why? I left because you forgot about me; you never even cared! And neither did Jeb, so no; we couldn't of have been happy.
"I was seven; Ari! I didn't know what to do! I was lost and confused! Busy taking care of the flock when Jeb left. I was scared, and you could've stayed. You wouldn't be like you are now. A vicious man-eating monster. Come back Ari, it could be better."
"Oh give it up, Killing you are my job; hating you just makes it enjoyable." With that, Erasers started attacking I got in my fighting stance. I took one out with a kick to the neck and three more; I used their weak spot and knocked them out.
Fang was surprisingly; no very surprisingly; keeping up with us. He did a roundhouse kick on two of them; like he's done this a thousand times already. He snapped another's head and kicked the other one in the face and before he fell punched it in the face for good measure.
I was knocked back into reality with a punch to the stomach and a snap to the face. I fell to the ground but kicked my legs out and knocked it to the ground so I was on top of him; I raised my fists and crashed it down on his face, and heard a crunch. I crashed my fists down on his face multiple times till he was good and dead. I moved on to the next one and when I punched him in the face my fists felt broken and were on fire. I did a jump kick and on the next one I kneed him where the sun don't shine and looked over to see how Iggy and Fang were doing. Iggy had minor bruises but was fine and doing well. Fang barely had a scratch on him and was kicking Eraser butt.
I was again knocked back into reality when something sharp stabbed me in my leg. Pain erupted in my leg and spread throughout my body. I dropped to the ground and then an eraser kicked me in the stomach really hard. I was about to through a punch but he caught me mid way and through another kick at my stomach. I blacked out. My last thoughts were, "please let my flock and Fang be ok"
######0000000000000 YEP…..LINE BREAK HERE…..UHHH YEA. awkward 0000000000000######
I woke up in a blinding white room. I lifted my arm up and shaded my eyes from the light. My mind instantly wandered to Fang and the flock. I was about to get up when I felt a pressure on my right hand. I looked over to my right and saw two tan hands clasped over mine. Warmth filled my hand. I looked up to see who the hands belonged to and trailed my eyes up to the face of none other than Fang. His eyes were gently closed and lips slightly apart. The sun glinting over his face to show his radiance, looking like the sight of an angel. He seemed calm and peaceful. Something I've never seen but right now. But as quick as I saw it; it was gone. He woke up quietly squinting at the sun's gaze and regained his stoic composure but realized I was awake.
"Morning sleepyhead" Fang said stretching
"I could say the same to you" I said just now noticing the pain in my leg and rib cage. I mentally cursed myself for getting into all of this trouble. I sat up and winced at the pain it brought my body.
Realizing what I was doing Fang spoke up worried. "Lay back down, your still not fully healed" He stood up and helped me lay back down. Our hands were still intertwined with one another and I never wanted to let go of his hand and the warmth it had. I instantly missed his calloused, warm, gentile hand gripping mine.
Then I realized my flock wasn't here. I panicked. Had the school gotten them? Were they in trouble? Did they get hurt? I instantly started freaking out.
"Where's the flock?" I asked Fang worriedly. His nose scrunched up in confusion looking as cute as ever. This time I didn't stop myself. I admit that I must do have feelings for Fang. More than a friend feeling but I don't think he felt the same way and I don't want to mess up our friendship.
"What's the flock?" I realized my mistake I had made and quickly said again
"The flock. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel. A name we made up as a group just to signify us."
"Oh. They went to the cafeteria with your parents and sister and brother, they'll be back."
"Oh, ok" I relaxed my composure and my tense shoulders and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding but furrowed my brow when he mentioned "parents" and "sister and brother"
"So what happened after I blacked out?"
"Well, when Iggy finished his section of things he went to go help Angel. I was stuck with the rest of them, have a few scars and scrapes but otherwise I took them all down. The teacher and kids were petrified and were shaken up. I told them to call the kids' parents and for them to evacuate the building just in case any more came. I tried to get you awake but you were out for good. Iggy managed to get Angel awake. She was shaken up but made it through so Iggy said that we had to get Gazzy and Nudge. Angel managed to tell Nudge and Gazzy that we had to go and that you were hurt. We rushed you into the hospital. Your friends seemed kind've reluctant for some reason but now you're here." When he finished talking I was speechless. He got kind of nervous as to why I wasn't talking.
"What?" he asked worriedly.
"I've never heard you talk that much before, like at all" I said still surprised
He just shrugged in response. Well I guess that was his word count for today. Just then the flock appeared in the doorway.
"Max!" They all screeched
" I thought you were gone Max" Gazzy said innocently, tears flooding his eyes and pouring down his sad face. Sympathy flooded through me towards Gazzy.
"Awwh come here buddy
