A/N OMG I got more reviews (squeals like Nudge.) Okay, I'm going to be mostly from Max's persona from now on. The plot will start to unfold itself. Be prepared. . .Thank you, all of my reviewers. If anyone's read a cool Twilight/Maximum Ride crossover lately, please tell me :-) Tell me what I should do to make the writing better.
MAX POV
Here's a list of things that I hate about flying (in planes).
Too many people.
The terrible food
Nudge talking way too much and making metal things fly toward her-like the zipper on my backpack.
My usually claustrophobia.
Too many people. Did I say that already? Well, there really were too many people. What if one of them was sick? And started coughing? Don't you think that's poor planning on the travel agent's part?
"Max, you're muttering to yourself again!" Alice said cheerfully. She looked out the window, staring at the clouds. "I love flying," She sighed, then smiled to me. "You must do it all the time!"
Fang, Alice and I were sitting in the same row. All seventeen of us had gotten on this plane. Bella, Edward, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, and Emmett had boarded the plane calmly. Renesmee had been enthusiastic-this was her first time flying. Turns out she's younger than she looks, and a half-vampire. To make things even weirder, a young man named Jake showed up just as we were going, and demanded to come with us. And get this-he's a werewolf. The flock had already met him, while I was "asleep."
Unfortunately, Jeb had to come with us, since he was the only one who knew how to mess with the Expiration Dates. So yeah, I was on a plane with vampires and my dad. And a werewolf.
"I fly all the time. Yes. With wings." I said to Alice. "Not on a plane." Why did I have to be on a plane? Why?
"You're muttering to yourself again!" Alice giggled. Her eyes lost her focus for a moment, then she smiled slyly. "I'm going to go to the bathroom," She sang out, jumping up.
"Vampires have to go to the bathroom?" I muttered to Fang. He cracked a smile. He'd been quiet for a while. I could tell he was mulling something over.
"Fang, listen, in case I die. . " I began.
"Max, you're not going to die," He said suddenly, looking at me intensely.
I sighed and leaned back against my seat. "There is a good possibility. Now, if I die, you have to look after the fl-"
"Max," Fang growled, glaring at me. "You are not going to die. Jeb's gonna make you better, okay? Those. . .numbers on your neck will go away."
"Yeah, but we have to go to a city full of vampires that are probably dying to sink their fangs in us and so-" I began again.
"Max. Shut. Up."
I glared at him, frustrated. "Why can't you just let me say this?"
Fang sighed. "Because if you start talking about how you're going to die, I might start to believe it myself, and then I wouldn't be able to survive. So shut up, okay?"
I blinked. That was the longest statement I'd ever heard him say.
"Look, Fang, just in case. . ."
He pressed a finger to my lips. Suddenly, his face was very, very, close and coming closer. . .
"I'm back!" Alice exclaimed. She looked at us, then looked down at her watch, scowling. "Hey! That was only supposed to take three minutes! Geez! You should have kissed her by now!" She glared at Fang.
I jumped out of my seat so fast that I was almost a blur and ran into the bathroom. I locked the door, leaned against it, and cried. Ah, the joys of being a teenage mutant bird kid on the run about to die in eleven days.
FANG POV
Max stayed in the bathroom for the entire flight. I think she even slept in their. When we'd finally landed in Florence, Italy, she walked back to her seat as if nothing had happened.
While we were gathering our luggage, Alice and Edward and Rosalie disappeared. I looked at the werewolf, Jacob.
"Where are they?" I asked him.
He rolled his eyes. "Probably stealing a couple cars." He was holding a sleeping Renesmee in his arms. The flock looked tired. The vampires looked tired, although they didn't sleep.
"All right, let's make this fast," Max said. "We sneak into Volterra, Jeb deals with the Expiration dates, we sneak out again without the Volturi finding out, and we all go our separate ways."
Esme looked near tears. If she could cry. Could vampires cry? "I do wish you would stay for a while, Max, flock," She said.
"Decisions later," Max said decisively. (A/ N: He he. I crack myself up)
"Looks like Edward and Alice are here with the cars," Carlisle said. I looked up. Now, I'm not much of a car fanatic-that's more of Nudge's department-but I was seriously impressed. Outside of the airport were three black-you're never going to guess-two black Lamborghinis. I almost felt myself drooling.
"Good god," Carlisle muttered. "Where did they get those?"
"We had to run a couple miles, but it was worth it!" Alice yelled. Our large group walked over to the cars. Actually, Nudge let out a scream and hugged a car. Or tried to. She plastered herself to the glass.
"The owners are going to be disappointed. We should probably return them when we're done," Edward said, always the gentleman.
"What happened to being inconspicuous?" Bella murmured.
"That is an amazing car!" Total yelped, jumping over to one, Angel running after him. I rolled my eyes. He was probably going to pee in it, or something.
Max rubbed her head. "Let's just . . .get in and get this over with." She told the flock.
So we were off to Volturra.
Phew! I don't think I'm going to write anymore for a while. (Yawns) I spent virtually this entire Sunday on my laptop, and now I've got a headache. So no more five chapters a day. Sorry. :-)
