Yo! So I won't be back at home until the 28th because I'm going off "somewhere" for spring break.
I say "somewhere" because I didn't feel inclined to ask my parents where exactly we were going.
It won't be as cool as last vacation I can guaranty, because last time I didn't ask but it turned out
that we were going to Forks! Oh yeah! It was awesome! But I was very sad we didn't run into any vampires or
shape shifters. The only way it could measure up was if we were going to Death Valley, or to meet the Volturi.
For this Chapter I was listening to Take A Bow by Muse
(Twilight comes out on DVD today!)
I don't own Twilight, Maximum Ride, Muse, or Jackson Rathbone. Sigh.
Have you ever wondered if you were really asleep while you weren't? Because that was how I was feeling at the moment. Like this was all some sort of dream and I had never seen my flock sitting there in the cafeteria.
And I thought I was about to throw up by the time I stopped running. What fun.
Behind me the trees swayed with the wind from my running. I then glanced around to see where I was. The meadow, Edward's and mine, was all around me with me standing right in the middle.
I sat down hopping to catch my breath my lungs working as fast as they could to get oxygen threw my system. I picked a small purple flower from the ground and brought it to my face to look closer at the tiny patterns in the petals before dumping it onto the thick grass.
Wind rushed around me and blew my brown hair up and around my head. Then I heard rustling in the trees. I turned to look around me, but I saw nothing even with my hawk vision. I turned back to looking at the grass and ignored the rustling the next time the wind picked up.
"Max." Oh dear god, that wasn't the wind. I looked up to find the three members from my flock that were sitting in the cafeteria. "Is that really you?" I snorted, Fang wasn't smart sometimes apparently.
"No, it's the Easter bunny." I replied with a defiant smirk on my face. He looked too shocked to even smile at my joke, not that he smiled of course. "So…" I said just to fill the silence. But he just stared at me. "I'm gonna go now." I mumbled and stood ready to fly.
"Wait Max." I looked at Nudge who spoke.
"Why." I needed an answer.
"Max." Fang said finally snapping out of his trance.
"Yes we have determined that I in fact, am Max," I glared at him with enough hatred to stop a new born vampire in their tracks; maybe. "Now I have to go now if you don't mind, I have to go to school." I refrained from shuddering at that.
"Max we're sorry we left you." I put on a blank face. "You know why we did it."
"Yeah, so you could lie down and relax on a beach somewhere while the Earth gets destroyed." There it was; the awful truth. My flock had left me, for beaches and margaritas. Minus the margaritas.
While I was off trying to save the world, (which for the moment is on hold) they were trying to be normal and do normal teenager stuff. At least I gave up trying to be normal I mean look at my boyfriend and my sort of best friend. It was kind of hard to know who my best friend was with Fang in Forks; even if he had given up on me.
"You know we just needed a break." Fang tried to reason with me. Not going to happen. I think we all know how stubborn I could be and I wasn't going to change my mind for my best frie…ex best friend. Even if he was making puppy eyes at me, which Fang would never do unless it was…well he wouldn't do it for anything. But he would look cute. Arg! Bad Max! Bad! I swear I have a split personality.
I took a step closer to Fang.
"Are you still taking a break?" I said in a light tone of voice.
"No we've been searching for you." Fang looked at me desperate for me to understand. They needed me back. Well they shouldn't have left me in the first place.
"Well you found me." I took five quick steps to right in front of Fang. I looked up at him from beneath my lashes. He seemed to be having a hard time breathing. His chest stopped rising and falling and I couldn't feel his breath on my hair anymore. He towered over me it seemed he had shot up in the past four years I hadn't seen him.
I had changed too though. My skin had lost some of its tan (and dirt) and I now had terrible balance problems due to keeping my wings tucked in.
I leaned even closer to him till I was right in front of his face, and glanced down at his lips that were so close to mine. Then I hit him.
Obviously he wasn't expecting it considering the way he went down. I nearly laughed when I saw his face. Blood ran down from his nose that was at a different angle than before. His dark eyes narrowed and he spat out some blood that had ran into his mouth.
My hand was hurting but totally worth it when I saw all of their faces. Even Iggy's. He had heard the crack of Fang's nose I assume and Nudge looked terrified of me.
I waved once, turned ran a couple steps almost tripped and dashed into the forest while removing my jacket. Once it was off I flew straight up and over to the school building to get back to class.
When I entered there was a buzz more interesting than my fainting in the parking lot apparently. Word had gotten out about the three new students but no one had been brave enough to approach them. I grinned, the flock probably looked like a bunch of Olympic swimmers had invaded the school. Or a bunch of models I thought remembering how Nudge looked.
We hadn't been gone long so people were still in line to get their lunch. I got in line behind Jessica.
"Hey did you hear about the new kids?" She asked in a low voice. I shrugged. "Well they just came from New York, because their mom wanted them to get a change of scenery." She said this like it was a horrible offence.
"I think it's because they were in trouble with the law." She added even lower. I tried to hide my smile at how true her words were. "They all look kind of tough." She said in a impressed voice. Then something occurred to me.
"Jess," I began, "How did you get all this information?" It wasn't like my flock to give out info even if it was a cover story.
"Mike asked the girl," she replied jealously. My face hardened. If Mike layed one hand on her I would toss him out a window, and not catch him. I brushed my hair out of my face while thinking of ways to hurt Mike that woudn't kill him.
"Um, Bella…" She said; I looked at her breaking my focus on how to hurt Mike. "You have blood on my hand." I looked down, and sure enough there on my hand was Fang's blood. I wiped it daintily as I could on my jeans and looked up at her grinning an evil grin. She paled and didn't talk to me for the rest of the time I was in line.
I knew I shouldn't have been so mean to her but my temper had been short today even before Fang's crew came to school and messed things up. But I figured at least Fang would be out for the rest of the day waiting for his nose to heal properly.
Biology was a silent affair the same as lunch and up until the end of the day when Edward, Alice and I got into the car.
"Did you hear about the new transfer students?" Alice asked after a second.
"Yeah," Edward snorted "Everyone's more afraid of them than they are of us." He smiled. It was a nearly blinding sight and my bad mood started to fade. Alice laughed her tinkling laugh.
"They aren't as scary as us." I had to agree, my flock may look dangerous to the average person but they looked perfectly harmless to the supernatural and scientificly enhanced.
"But every person in the school thought they were in a gang." Edward. I giggled at the thought; Iggy would probably vote to be called the Angels or some other crap. Nudge and Angel would probably vote for that too.
"Are they in a gang?" Alice asked. Edward looked amused.
"Don't you know not to believe gossip Alice?" He questioned.
"Yes, but it is possible." She reasoned.
"I don't know," He said troubled now. "I couldn't read their minds, but it wasn't like you Bella," he said looking back at me. "I was like a shield was there and occationaly it slipped."
"Did you hear anything?" I questioned. If he had he could know about me.
"Not very much," He sighed about that. "Just something about someone named Max, a wing and some birdseed that for some reason was incredibly funny." I tried to hide my laughter at the memories pushing on my brain.
"Maybe they have a pet bird." Alice suggested. That didn't help me try to hold back my laughter and a giggle slipped out.
"Maybe." Edward said and dropped the subject.
Yay! Extra longest chapter I've ever written! Plus ha! Birdseed. I hope you all remember that scene because it was one of my favorites.
+ So won't be back till the 28th. I hope to write lots then! TTFN
