Hey guys,

I had some free time so here's the next chapter. The Flock do come in soon, but sadly not this chapter and maybe not the next. I'm not sure yet. Sorry if the chapter takes a while but I am working on getting them up faster, be patient please. In the first chapter you found out one of Ally's powers which was mind reading like Angel, just to make it clear she cannot control minds just read them and after you've read this chapter I want you to guess what happened to the folder? Is it a new power or is it something else. If power, what power do you think it is?

S.B.H

Sadly I do not own Maximum Ride otherwise I would have Fang. *sigh* But I do own Ally and Jake, they are all mine…and of course any other OC's as well. =þ

May contain some course language, nothing real bad at all and I don't even consider swear words but I don't want to offend anyone. Also my personal opinion throughout the story may not be the same as some characters.

Touch and Go

"Is she asleep?"

"The subject appears to be, we should move in now."

Leaves rustled in the distance and I knew from the word 'subject' that scientists were here. Were they really stupid enough to come by themselves…by the sounds of it, they are. I evened my breathing out to make myself appear like I am asleep which as you can tell, I most definitely am not. The rustling came closer until I could tell they are only a few feet away, I roll over sweeping my legs out, knocking them over as I jump graciously to my feet and stare down at them with my known glare. Their eyes widen a fraction and they start to cower away from me.

"Please," one of the two begged, "don't hurt us."

"Why shouldn't I, you were going to do the same to me." I actually wouldn't hurt them, just knock them out and leave them on the side on the high way for someone to find. I took a close look at them as they stammered and stuttered, really getting on my nerves. One was quite short with a bald head and ugly big round glasses that he kept pushing up his nose like they were a size to big. The other was about average height, very skinny and grey hair, over all, not the best looking guys around. I can say that for sure.

"We weren't, we swear."

The other one answered as they tried to crawl away, like puppies with their tails between their legs.

"Well you certainly aren't here to sell Girl Guide biscuits so that's really the only option to you being here, isn't it."

It wasn't a question, it was a statement and they knew it.

"Shut your eyes and you won't feel a thing."

They obeyed without question, squeezing their eyes shut as hard as they could then BAM. One hit and their down. Both knocked unconscious, I drag their lazy asses to the high way which was very far away and made me very grouchy but it was so worth it when a squirrel came and started knocking on the short guys head with a nut. My feet dragged one after the other into the under bush from the side of the high way until I reached the tree I slept under and the manila folder containing my life's secrets. Family, I had one so I wouldn't need the folder. Whoosh, my wings unfolded from my back in a flurry of feathers. I found an opening in the trees above me and jumped into the air, up and down, my black wings glinted in the sunlight as they pushed me up into the fresh air of the morning. The emerald streaks on them glinted in the sun just as sleek as the black ones. The emerald may not exactly be a natural colour on wings but it looked cool so who really cares? I went higher and higher till no one on the ground would be able to notice me then let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding. My hand whipped up to stop the tears coming, I had never lived more then a day away from Jake and now here I am sucking in clean, non chemical air while he's probably being tortured. Thinking about it doesn't make it better, I scolded myself. Sighing I knew I should destroy the folder just in case wherever I through it in a bin someone would find it. Within two seconds the folder was gone into oblivion, the ashes slipping through my fingers like sand falling down to earth with the wind.

(I decided to be nice and keep going, this is still chapter 2)

Remind me why I didn't ever buy hair ties for when I was flying? The wind was whipping my hair into my eyes and mouth making me move it away with my fingers for it to come straight back and annoy me some more. My hair wasn't too long so it wasn't too bad but still, when you have dark brown wavy/angel curly hair that went to just past your shoulders it was definitely annoying. Especially when you have a fringe that goes down to just above your eyes. In other words, a Minge fringe to explain it more, but I hate calling it that. Most people who see me think my hair's pretty cool what with the emerald streak down the right side at about where my ear was, it matched my emerald eyes so I put it in. Oh and of course my wings but I can't go round saying,

"Yeah my emerald streak is cool. I put it in cause it matches my eyes and wings."

That would be very incredibly stupid. Actually I'm lying, I didn't put it in because it matched my eyes and wings, I put it in because Jake told me he thought emerald made me stand out. I'm still not sure if he was joking or not. Country changed to city below me as I started getting closer to my destination. I had to admit to myself it would be a bit touch and go for a few days, I couldn't let it be a few weeks. Who knows what they could do to him in that amount of time, even a few days can be devastating, leaving a person badly injured or even- d- d- death. Swallowing hard I shut my mind off of that particular topic and focused on my mission. Find the Flock, convince them to trust me and get Jake out of that hell hole. Shivers ran down my back, fear filled me but so did a thrill. Michigan spread out on the horizon in front of me, only about half and hour now. About lunch time my internal clock told me. I was another step closer to rescuing Jake. No matter how many transformer bots they throw at me, I will save him. There is no other option to me. I miss him so much, his jokes and sarcasm. If only he knew I loved him, more then a brother sister way, he knows I'm coming for him. Who ever the bastard is that took him from me is going down. So is the whole empire of psychos. It's time for the company to go down under and I would make it happen even if it took a few years.

That's it for this chapter, not very exciting I know but it gets better in a few chapters. I think this story will be based on a new company maybe, it's based after the Final Warning and it will have Fax, a bit later in the story, not right at the start.
