Hey guys! Long time no write. Decided to finally get motivated and write something I would actually publish. Oh, and I don't own Maximum Ride, James Patterson does.
Angel woke up to complete pain. Every inch of her body hurt. She felt needles being stuck into her, heard the steady rhythm of the heart monitor, accompanied with the chemical smell of a lab. Her eyes were swollen shut and her head was ringing. She thought back, trying to figure out where she was, but she could not remember anything from before she woke up.
Finally, her eyes cracked open. Painfully, she blinked. She looked around at her surroundings. Everything was dark, but light enough to see. Yet when she looked, her body was not there.
Am I blind? Angel asked herself. But no. She could see. She saw the low white roof, the linoleum floors, the rough, dull walls. Finally, she looked directly underneath herself.
And there, strapped to a gurney, was a body. Her body. It was shrinking, evaporating with the rest of the room. Angel realized she was rising.
She was dead.
She tried to cry, but she was too shocked. Seconds later, she went crashing back down to Earth, quicker than when she was falling, wings folded. Then she opened her eyes. Her real eyes. She looked at her arms, the arms connected to her body, her wonderful body, covered in sweat. Her initial thought was that she had been dreaming, but then her memories came flooding back on her. Paris. The Doomsday Group. The bomb. That burning sensation, the lab, the scary voice she did not recognize. Then she remembered the tests. What the DG was trying to accomplish: life outside of a body. Angel, the 'ultimate' life force, would be used for the tests. And when they succeeded, she would become their tool. She would carry out their plans. She would get the Flock to join them.
Or she would have to kill them.
So, how did you guys like it? R&R! I will have shout outs for any reviewers next chapter.
Now, onto update frequency. I plan to update once a week, on every weekend. Seeing as today is a Thursday, I might update over the weekend, but don't count on it. Chapters will be about this long. With that, later!
