AN: ILuvMyFangPlushie here.
Sorry guys for the late updates. With school and scouts updating everyday is going to be very difficult. I will try my best to update as much as possible, even if my very best means only one or two days a week.
Thank you Never May I for reviewing. It's okay. I don't mind. Glad it makes sense to you.
Thank you Glitters for reviewing. I'll try.
Thank you Hazelwave for reviewing to my other Angel story. Even though I realise that it'll be a little while before you actually get to this story and read this little thank you, I still appreciate it.
Warning: There are going to be Nevermore spoilers.
Here is the Font key: Telepathic toys talking to each other or to themselves will be written in bold italics. Telepathic toys talking to Angel or anyone else will be in bold. Max and anyone else thinking back to the voices is in italics. Angel speaking telepathicly is underlined.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or any other characters mentioned in the books. I do own the numerous random people there to do the the stuffed animals' biddings and the evil stuffed animals other than Celeste though.
Chapter 4: Eraser Max
RECAP TIME (AN:I think I am going to be doing this every once in a while for my sake and for yours, just so you don't have to go back to the last chappy just to remember what had been going on.)
Fang had thought that the numbers on the papers kind of looked like map coordinates, so he and Max went on a search. They came across an abandoned house and the baby Gasman's picture (awwwh). Then they made their way home.
END RECAP
The next day, Max enjoys the blissness of taking a hot, warm shower.
Iggy knocks on the door.
Celeste decides to mess with Max a little. Make her suffer and scare her.
Can't have her getting too comfortable.
Max glances at herself in the mirror.
Eraser Max was back.
Iggy not knowing of the now very distressed Max says something jokingly and then walks away.
Celeste makes Max see the creature in the mirror smile and talk.
"How is this happening?" Max asks the voice that she thinks is speaking aloud.
The voices are very powerful beings, but they lack the actual ability to verbally speak. No actual words have been said though the mouths of the creature in the mirror. She only thinks that it is talking when really they're just thoughts that Celeste is just implanting into her mind.
But we're not so different. Everything is connected. I'm part of you. You're part of me. We can help each other.
"You are not part of me. I could never be like you," Max whispers back.
Max, Max. You already are.
This terrifies her. She doesn't want to an Eraser. She doesn't want to have anything to do with her Eraser self.
Terrified she whirls away from the mirror, runs out the door, into her room, and slams the door. She curls up onto the bed shaking, touching her face over and over again, still in her towel, questioning her sanity.
Perfect. She'll slowly breaking right before my eyes. It shouldn't be long now.
Little did Max know, her super speed powers had not developed during the time in the sky that has yet to occur, but during this situation. This moment that scared her so very much.
Fang being at the end of the hallway, had seen a blur of white and tan move from the restroom to Max's bedroom. He had never seen anything move that fast before. He suspects that it could be a new power, but that isn't what he is worried about right now. He saw the door slam shut and moved to investigate. He wants to see what is going on.
He must not comfort her.
Max will be okay. I don't need to check up on her.
But what if she isn't okay? What if she needs me? Fang wonders after shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
She's Max, she'll be okay. I just need to give her some time alone.
Then again, Max isn't invincible, she doesn't have to deal with everything alone. She has me.
But she could be fine and coming in might just make it worse.
Or make it better. Max needs me whether she thinks she does or not.
Fang knocks on the door of Max's room.
Celeste is frustrated. He might have the abilities to control the mind but not acutal actions. He can make a thing do something by convincing it that it wants to do it, but the actual physical stuff is out of his and his minons control.
This boy just won't listen to me. He will pay for his disobedience soon enough. Yes. He WILL pay.
Fang walks into the room. He sees Max.
She looks scared and pale. She keeps touching her face.
She doesn't look okay.
He asked her what was wrong. When she didn't answer he walks up to her, sits by her side on the bed, and wraps his arms comfortingly around her shoulders. He tells her everything is going to be okay and that anything that happens they'll deal with it together.
Max slowly tells him about seeing herself as an Eraser. She thinks she could turn into an Eraser. She asks him that if she did turn into one, if he would deal with that too, in order to protect the flock.
Fang tells her that he would.
Max tells him thank you and she starts to feel more relieved.
He squeezes her shoulders, kissed her forehead, and told her she was going to be okay.
Fang leaves afterwards.
Max now feels more confused then ever.
Not about her Eraser self but about Fang.
How does she really feel about him?
She doesn't really know. Feelings and emotions are just not her thing.
AN: Did you guys like it?
Tell me what you think.
Review, review, review.
There's also a stuffed animal poll up.
Vote, vote, vote.
Celeste will come and get you if you don't.
Muahahahaha.
Hehehe.
