The next day went on like any other day would have gone. I woke everyone up, they were all hungry and Iggy made breakfast. While everyone finished up I left the room. I walked up to the second floor and into the attic. I looked around at the dusty and old things left behind by the previous owners.
I walked over to the musty windows and wipe as much dust off it so I could see outside. I unlatch the lock and slide it open. A soft gust of wind makes the lose hair on my face slide away. I take a second to gaze around then I swing my legs over the ledge. Holding onto the window as I swing myself out and stand on the edge, I take a grip of a piece of the roof and haul myself up.
Standing up I outstretch my wings letting the wind cool them up. I had barley used them lately and I was going to make everything of this moment. I take a couple of steps back then I run for it, jumping off the end. I close my eyes and wait for the wind to catch me.
As soon as it does, I swerve up and then look down at the cabin. I wouldn't be gone long. It would just be a couple of minutes. I take off using my skill to go faster to go up high and far. I spread out my arms and take in all the freshness. I angle my wings and start twirling in spirals.
Now this is the life. Who needs walking when you could fly. SO much better. I open my eyes taking a glance under me. I couldn't see much, thus, confirming that I went up pretty high. I take a deep breath and let myself free fall. As soon as I can see the town below again I take my wings out and fly again.
I fly around not really thinking about the clouds and birds around me. I was mostly thinking about, other, things. Things like Fang giving me the silent treatment. I knew that It wouldn't be long before I told him the real reason, why we're not together. And I was thinking about things like Chase. What can I say, I'm crazy for the guy. I just met him, yet I cant get enough of him. And today I was going to talk about him about our wings.
I was going to tell him all about HOW we got them, and if then, he thinks we're weirdos and runs off the tell the world about us, then we will leave. But if its like Angel says and he really does care for us, then we stay and hope for him to keep the secret.
I look below and something catches my eye, it was a big tree that had branches going out everywhere. I swoop down and land on one of them. I sit down and relax for a while. I love spending all day with the flock, but sometimes I like being alone. Not as much as Fang, but you get the point.
"Hello? I'm back!" I exclaim as I walk down the steps from the attic. It was a bit quiet. I peek into the living room and find Angel, Nudge, Gazzy, and Iggy fast asleep on each other. They must have dozed off waiting for me to come home. I smile and turn around almost running into Fang.
"Your home." he says. I guess he forgot all about no talking to me.
I nod and walk around him. I had to get ready for tonight. I walk into my room and open the drawer that we had. Hmm, I don't have that many things to chose from. I'll wear my yellow tee and my jeans.
"I'm going out for some air." Fang says to me at my door. I roll my eyes and walk over to the doorway.
"Okay, you do that." I say about to close the door in his face, yet he goes and stops it with his hand.
I sigh. "What?"
Fang looks at me for a minute with his dark eyes then lets go of the door.
"Nothing…I'll be back later." He says.
"Yea, whatever." I say closing the door. I stand there for a minute, FRESH AIR! COME ON. Letting out some of my anger. I take deep breaths, then I take my shirt off and throw it on the ground. THAT BUTT HEAD!!! I scream as loud as I could, in my head. I take even breaths and pull the yellow shirt on. I take my jeans off and slip on the clean on. Quickly doing my hair I go over to the door, and walk into the living room.
"Hey…Iggy." I say shaking him a bit. He wakes up quickly and quietly.
"hmm? What?" He asks half asleep, he takes my arms and pulls himself off the couch.
"Listen closely, when I leave later, your in charge, got it? Remember all the routines we practiced? If anything too rash happens I want you to look for me or Fang. Okay? Don't forget to eat. Don't play around with your bombs. Please! The date starts at 10:00 so I'm guessing I'll be back at 12:00. Go to sleep early for once." I say to him with a serious tone.
"Okay I promise, but can we go outside? You know, fly around a while." He asks getting a worried expression.
"Yea sure, just not to far, why? What's wrong?" I ask putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Lets just say I didn't know It was possible for us to get wing cramps." he says flinching and unfurling his wings a bit.
I massage his cramped spots until I heard a knock on the door. At the same time I heard Fang come in the room. He didn't meet my eyes as he walked up to Iggy.
"Hey Iggy, have you seen the-stuff I had in the room?" Fang asks extra quietly.
"The Mags? No I haven't…but you know now that I think about it I haven't seen anything for a couple of years now." Iggy says matter-of-factly, eyes closed as I continued with his back and wings.
"They were in the room, they couldn't have just disappear." Fang whispers to Iggy.
"I know where they are." I say moving to his neck. I couldn't help but smile at the surprise on Fangs face.
"what." he says in a super quiet voice I had to strain to hear.
"Yea, I have them somewhere." I say
"Max, their, their not mine, I found them and I thought I could sell them." He says trying to keep the lie out of his voice.
"Right." I pull away from Iggy.
"Max?" Came a shy voice from the living room entrance. The two of us look up then Fang quickly takes a sweater that was laying around and throws it on Iggy's wings. He doesn't know about Chase knowing yet. I ignore him and walk up to chase. I had called him the night before and told him that the door would be open and he could just come on in.
"Hey Chase." I say.
Chase smiles as if he was about to receive a gift. But then he looks troubled as he pulls a plastic bag out from behind him.
"Umm. Are these the mags you wanted me to burn?" he asks. I gasp and look over at Fang. Fang hears this and his head snaps up. He had a furious expression. I quickly turn and push Chase out of the living room.
"RUN!" I shout as Fang starts toward us. Chase sees him and shoots down the hall. I was right behind him, hurrying to open the door to outside. We run out and stop.
"Okay, I'll go up and meet you at the central park." I say taking the bag from his hands. Chase nods and takes his skateboard. He starts down the road going REALLY fast only looking back once before I out spread my wings and took off into the sky. I turn around to look down. Fang was standing outside the house looking up at me. I wave the bag then turn back around and headed for the park. From the corner of my eye I see as he catches air and is headed for me at an extraordinary speed. I make a face and speed it up a notch.
When I finally get there I look down at the trees for a good place to land. There was a clearing just entering the forest I could look for chase from the-
I gasp as my air was knocked out and something heavy clung to my back preventing my wings from moving. I started falling but I don't let go of the bag.
"-LET…GO!" I shout as we get closer to the trees. He doesn't. I hit the branches hard, I came to the ground with a thump. I had my eyes closed as I groan with pain. I open my eyes and find fang looking down at me.
Fang tilts his head. "Hello" he whispers.
"Can I have those magazines back, they cost a lot, I'm going to sell them over the internet, and get the money for us." He says putting a hand on my forearm.
"really?" I ask trying hard not to look him in the eyes.
"Yes." He says leaning down and whispering in my ear.
"Max! There you are, Its ready!" Chase calls from afar. I look at him and push fang off me. He lands on his but, as I spring up tugging my wings in. I make it over to Chase out of breath.
"What was that?" Chase asks as he lead me into a path almost as small as the one to get to the cabin but more hidden.
"I'll explain later" I say kind of embarrassed. The path lead into a small opening next to the lake. Chase goes over to an old garbage can. I come up behind him and wait.
"Okay, I've seen HOBOS do this before." he says pulling out a box of matches. I could hear far away as Fang walks right past the little path.
I put my finger to my lips. Chase nods. He throws a lit match in and watches as the flames grow. I open the bag and start tossing them in. These things were disgusting, I cant believe Fang. When I finished with them I looked up at Chase (who was looking down at his watch).
"Well Miss Ride. I believe it is time for our date." he said with a bow. I could feel a blush creeping up my face, but i try and act normal. "Come on, I found a table by the lake. It'll be good for some private time." He says walking around some trees and over to a table. He sits down and I do the same. I bite my lip, okay how do I start, I have to be cool, calm, and brave.
"So..." Chase said.
"I WAS IMPLANTED BIRD DNA WHEN I WAS BORN!! THATS WHY WE HAVE WINGS! THEY DID TESTS ON US, AND TORTURED US. BUT WE GOT SAVED BY ONE OF THE SCIENTISTS!" I blurt out. I slap a hand over my mouth. I slam my head down on the table with embarrasment.
Good one Max. The voice said. I bang it again at the sound of it.
You couldn't have helped me a freaking, minute ago?? I tell the voice.
You never asked. It answered.
YOU WOULDN"T HAVE ANSWERED. I exclaim.
"Who would do such a thing." Chase whispers. I slowly look up at him.
"Easter, would." I say in a wary tone. Just remembering gave me goose bumps. So many test, so much pain and torture. I remember when i used to comfort the little ones when they cryed while i fought to keep my own tears from falling, because i was the leader. And the fear was more then we could handle.
"Easter?" Chase asks. I dont want to tell him anythiing. But he has to know, so he never tells.
"Maximum, i promise you that i will never ever tell anyone, i would rather die then say anything." He says with a soft smile. I had explained it all as he listened to me closely. I told him about the Flyboys, Jeb, Erasers, and everything else. The sun was going down and turning the sky a pink, red, orange and purple. The water glistened and sparkled.
"Thanks." I say. Chase looks up from the table to me. The sunset catches his eyes, increasing the color and shine.

I never thought i was the kind of person to be jelous. But ever since chase came along, I can tell the green eyed monster was taking over. Is that really why I was hiding behind a bush, spying on Max, and him. Yes.
I watch as Max talks to him, just pouring out words, while Chase keeps his eyes on her in awe. I wonder what their talking about.
I stare at Chase, REALLY! What did she see in him? Why did she pick him over me? We were fine. I think.
My cell vibrates in my pocket.
"Hello." I say in a whisper. I dont know in how much trouble i would be in if Max found me.
"Fang? Hey baby, where are you? You said you'd meet me here at the mall, and your not here yet!" Came a female voice. It takes me a minute to remember it was the red head i was with the day before. Her name was Chelsey.
"Oh, hey. I'm not gonna make it. Sorry." I say. i really dont know why i talk to her, all she likes to do is shop. Maybe its because she's prettier then Max.
No. Thats not it.
I hang up on her in mid-sentence. SHOES, CLOTHES, MAKEUP! THATS ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT!
Looking back at chase, i frown.
I will have Max back, no matter what.
I hope you liked it. Please review! NO BAD REVIEWS! I need some ideas too, PLEASE!!
