Max
I strode into my room and tossed my backpack onto the floor, useless books and papers spilling out onto the floor. I stared at the books, the Algebra textbook and the Physics notebook, and anger flared up inside of me like a fire.
Have I been lied to my entire life?
Surely I'm not normal, never have been, never will. I've never been the girl with the best grades and I've never been the girl that stands out during school hours. I've never been the girl who everyone admires for her beauty and I've never been asked out by a boy. The only place I've ever stood out was on the track and now that might be taken away from me.
"Did I have wings?" I asked myself again. "How would that even be possible? The only creatures that have wings are types of birds and the last time I checked, I was not a bird. But how can I explain everything else? The weird visions, the deja vu moments? Fang, the cages, the white coats, and that place? What does it all mean?
With a sigh, I flopped down onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. "Why couldn't I just be normal," I whispered. "Why did I have to be stuck in this mess?"
Thoughts swirled around inside my head like a tornado. So many different facts and opinions started to cloud the only sensible thoughts my brain held.
Maybe I did have wings, I thought. Maybe I was called bird girl and lived a secretive life and did whatever the hell I wanted to do with no rules, no one to look after me.
Max, listen to yourself! my conscience fought back. It is scientifically impossible for a human to have wings. And if you did, where are they now, huh? You've lived this life forever. This is your home.
Suddenly, the deja vu feeling swept over my head and visions danced through my mind. I saw a house that was shaped like an E. I saw myself in the kitchen, sitting with the kid Fang from my other vision. But, there were other children too. There was a male with strawberry blonde who looked around my age talking to a blonde male who looked younger than me. A girl with chocolate brown hair squealed over a necklace with a young girl with bright blue eyes and curly, blonde hair.
I didn't know who they were, yet I knew they felt familiar and safe. A happy feeling ignited in my soul and I felt like crying for joy. In the blink of an eye, the vision started to fade and was replaced by a black slate. A voice started to whisper one word. I yearned to hear it and the volume increased. When I heard the word, I knew that it held some significance to me.
Remember…
"What am I supposed to remember!" I shouted to my mind.
All you need to do is remember, Max and all your questions will be answered. Your family needs you.
I let out a frustrated groan. "I don't know what I need to remember! Please help me! I want to know! I need to know!
If you think hard enough, your thoughts will start coming back. You have the pieces of the puzzle. Connect them. You need to save the world, Maximum.
The whole vision disappeared, and I shot up, panting heavily. Whatever my vision said to me rang loud and clear throughout my mind.
You have the pieces of the puzzle. Connect them.
All you need to do is remember, Max.
"All I need to do is remember. I just need to use my head."
I laid back down, and let my thoughts race.
Hopefully I can remember soon, I thought. Because if I'm supposed to save the world, I need to start working. My family needs me.
Fang (double chapter)
"Fang, we're going out!" Lacey cried downstairs. "Don't pick up the phone if you don't recognize the number!"
"I know mom!" Fang cringed at his word choice. "I'll be good! Have fun!"
He heard the door slam and waited for the car engine to start. When he heard the familiar groan, Fang crept down the stairs and headed towards his parents office.
"There is no possible way the internet could have no results on all search engines. And I think my parents know the reason behind it."
He opened the glass doors containing the sacred room. Fang was given strict orders to never enter this room, for it was only for work. But drastic times call for drastic measures...
The room held several cabinets and books. The desk sat in the middle of the room, a computer and papers sitting right on the surface. Fang's feet carried him to the mahogany piece of furniture and he surveilled the desk.
"Darnet," he muttered under his breath. "There are locks on all the drawer."
Like that ever stopped you before…
Fang shook off that thought and searched the room for the key. "Dad hides his stuff in the most obvious places. This shouldn't be hard to find."
Fang walked over to one of the cabinets and felt the top of it. No key. He went over to the next cabinet and saw a potted plant. Fang grinned, lifted the plant up, and grasped the bronze key.
"Bingo." Fang headed back over to the desk and grasped the first drawer. He inserted the key into the lock and it slid open. Fang's hand dug into the documents that laid in front of him, looking for something related to him. All these papers were legal contracts for the company Itex. Nothing related to Fang was located in that drawer.
Fang hopped over to the next drawer and then the next, repeating the same process. His heart sank every time he couldn't find a paper that presented information towards
him.
Fang had almost given up hope when he reached the last desk. He jimmied the key and the desk opened. Fang looked down at the papers and his heart felt like it stopped beating.
"Oh my god," he whispered. "All these papers? They're about me. They're about them."
Oooh a cliffy! I know that these chapters are very rushed. I just want to get into the second half of the story. I hope you guys liked that I did a double chapter for once, thought I should increase the length a bit since I make you wait for so long. Thank you for the wonderful reviews! Read and review!
