Thanks again for all of the reviews. As you can see, I'm working on updating faster. I also wrote a new Maximum Ride story, it has no title yet but you should seriously check it out. If you already have, I appreciate it. Well here is chapter 65. Enjoy!!
Chapter 65 the Random Object
Fang's POV
A crash came from the backyard and I ran out to see what was up. It seemed like Iggy and Gazzy set off a bomb but that doesn't make sense because they should still be at school.
I slammed the door against the wall and raced to see what the heck was going on.
Max's footsteps sounded behind me, I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight in front of me
"Fang, what are you…." she couldn't even finish her sentence; she was just as stunned as I was.
Right in front of me was a huge ditch in the ground; it looked like a meteor hit the ground but that is impossible.
Once I got over the shock, I walked up to the ditch. In the ditch was a rock, but it wasn't just any ordinary rock, there was a rigid crack running along the middle of it.
I titled my head to the side and scrunched my face at the sight of the rock. Why would anyone do this? I asked myself but that was a stupid question.
"Max?" She was still standing in the same position, as still as a statue, but flinched at the sound of her name.
She blinked her eyes rapidly for a few seconds before speaking, "Fang? What is that?"
I shrugged my shoulders because I knew as little as she did.
"Should we find out?" Her face was scrunched up in confusion too.
"It could be a trap for all we know. It's not like we haven't been in this kind of situation before." She raised a finger and put it to her lips, debating on what we should do.
"There have been no signs of danger, besides James and Kristy, since we got here so what is the worst that could happen?"
We were both still hesitant and didn't move a muscle.
At that moment Dr. M ran out of the house, her hair was dripping wet, which can explain why it took her so long to get out here.
"What's going on?" Her mouth dropped when she spotted the hole in the ground. "Who the hell did this?"
All Max and I could do was shrug our shoulders in unison. "We haven't decided if she should touch it yet," Max explained.
Dr. M opened her mouth to speak but dropped it when she saw me walking up to the rock.
I reached out to the rock but retracted my arm just as quickly. After a few seconds I made the decision, what do I have to lose?
My hand made contact with the rock and…nothing happened. There was no explosion, nothing popped out of it, and it just stayed where it was.
"Fang, what happened?" Max moved closer and I felt a hand land on my left shoulder.
"Not…noth…nothing," you would think that if someone wanted to get us back that they would have made the rock explode but no, nothing.
"That's weird," I nodded my head in agreement. "Maybe we should pick it up and see if there is anything inside of it."
I swung my head back and forth. Since the rock didn't explode when I touched it, if there is something inside of it then it might explode but why would they put it in a rock.
"Too bad Iggy isn't here, he'd know if there was anything deadly in it."
"How could he tell?" Dr. M had a confused expression on her face.
"He can sense the smallest of vibrations so if there was a bomb in there, he would know immediately."
The confused look didn't disappear from her face but there was no point in explaining anymore. Max shrugged her shoulder and bent down to pick up the rock.
I slapped her hands away before she could touch it, "I'm going to open it."
Her eyebrows rose and she looked pissed at me. Wham, she hit me right in the stomach.
"Do you think that I can't handle whatever is in there?" She crossed her arms while I recovered from her deadly punch that would have damaged any human. When she wants to, she can punch hard.
"No but…" Max cut me off there.
"There are no buts, I'm going to open it," she snatched the thing from the ground before I could protest anymore.
She's being really moody right now. Usually she would just snatch the thing and not hit me but that is not like her. Then it struck me what time it was.
I grabbed her shoulders and whispered in her ears, "Is it that time of the month?"
A faded red blush found the way onto her cheeks, she looked so cute. She looked away from me but swiftly turned back to face me; there was no point in her keeping any secrets from me.
"Maybe…why?" She looked up with innocent eyes.
"Mmmm…" I pretended to think over it for a second before answering. "It might be the way that you have been acting today."
She titled her head to the side and pretended to act confused, "Whatever do you mean?" A smile crept onto her face.
"Are you two going to open that thing or just keep whispering things to yourselves?" I almost forgot that Dr. M was behind us. It's so hard keeping track of what's around me when I have Max right by my side.
I stayed right where I was while she opened the thing. She was taking her time, trying to be careful just incase she set something off inside.
Once it was fully open, we all took a deep breath and relaxed. It was just a note. WAIT, a note, what the hell?
"There's a note inside," Max told Dr. M.
"What's on the note?" Dr. M was getting impatient.
She neatly unfolded it so that she wouldn't rip it and read over before I could see it.
The note fell to the floor when she finished reading it. I snatched it up before it touched the ground.
My mouth dropped fell at the site of the note. I read it out loud so Dr. M could hear too.
Leave now or the rocks will get closer to your home.
Great, so now we have this person to deal with along with Kristy and James.
Everyone else is going to flip out when they see this.
I was going to do a cliff hanger but I decided to be nice this time. So since I was nice enough to do that for you guys, you should check out my new story, it's called "The New Mission," and review. Thanks for all of the reviews. PLEASE REVIEW!!
