Hey, people of Internet land and obsessors of Maximum ride! I don't own Maximum Ride! But I do own Coral. Anyway, just a heads up for the future, I may update very often and consistently right now, but its just because I have a lot off free time and inspiration. My updates may come inconsistently, but don't get mad. Writers block is a serious issue. :) my thanks to:
User user (thanks! It took me forever to come up with her power. :))
BirdKid13 (awww. Thanks. *blush*)
save the manatee (thanks a ton! And I really like cliff hangers so just be prepared! I love you're username btw!)
Maaaaax?
Coral's POV
I woke up quickly. Rubbing my eyes, I was thankful. Of course, I had the misfortune of hitting my head on the coffe table on my way down, so I felt a big lump forming on the back of my head.
Ow.
"MAX!" Yelled the tall dark boy, and he stared daggers at me.
"What. Did. You. DO?" He growled, grabbing the collar of my rumpled shirt, and hauling me to eye level with him. His eyes were like pillars of ice. I whimpered under his fierce gaze.
"I'll tell you! I promise!" I squeaked, struggling in vain. "I think she'll be ok, but I... I lost control." My voice got quiet near the end. He gave me a chilling look and released me, turning back to the girl unconsious on the floor.
She wasnt breathing. The others noticed at the same time as me.
"Max?" Whimpered the little boy with blonde hair.
They all gathered around her, looking panicked. The little girl who took my jacket looked up at the dark haired boy, looking teary-eyed.
I did this.
Max's POV
I hear voices, but they're distant. I can't place them. All I know is that I'm here. I know nothing else. Not my name. Not my life, if it was still there. Not my family.
Family.
F-
Fl-
Flock.
FLOCK!
The Flock!
MY Flock.
I need to get back to my flock.
Move stupid muscles! MOVE! I hear a sound escape my lips. There's a start. Eyes. Open. I try. Really, really hard. I do. But I can't seem to move my stupid eyelids.
Dumb eyelids.
I hear gasps. I said it out loud. Yes!
"Flock." I murmur. More gasps.
M-
Ma-
Max.
who's Max?
Am I- yes!
"Max." I say. I still can't move, but I feel myself being shaken.
"Fang, Iggy, " I murmur, names appearing in my brain. "Nudge, Gazzy, Angel."
C-
Co-
Cor-
"Coral." I kind-of growled. And if you can sound venomous while half dead, I was doing it.
My eyes flickered open and I jackknifed into a sitting position. My vision was blurry and a wave of nausia washed over me, but I wasn't dead.
Whoo- hoo! I'm alive!
Fang's POV
"Flock." Max murmured, and spark of hope ignited on all our faces.
"Max" her breathing was ragged, but there all the same. "Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel... Coral." She practically spat that last name, and sat up quickly, making all of us jump.
"Max!" Angel cried happily.
She was alright, she was alive, and she immediatley turned and wretched into my lap.
"Oh, gross." I muttered, but the I knew relief showed plain on my face.
Leaning over, I kissed her forehead. She barely noticed. Gazzy made a grossed out face, and I wasn't sure if it was at my lap full of Max vomit or my un-Fang like display of affection. Probably the later.
She's ok.
Coral's POV
I cleared my throat, sure they'd all forgotten I was here. Exept the one they called Max. Five heads zipped around to see my relieved face, and immediatley stood and assumed an unbelievably angry expression. That one boy's pants were gonna have an eternal stain. Oops.
"What the heck?!" Exclaimed the tall blonde boy. "What was that!? You nearly killed her!"
" 'm ok Iggy." Slurred a voice behind them. She then proceeded to stand up, only to stagger forward a few steps and need to be supported between the two older guys. The look on her face showed irritation at her weakness.
"Look..." She said coolly,but obviously still fighting nausia, "I really didnt want have to kick your butt, but after what you just did, well..."
"Oh we're wasting time!" Yelled the guy I assumed was Iggy. His fist was quick flying at my face. I braced myself, not making a sound and he... Missed.
"Make a noise, will you!" He scowled.
Is he... Blind?
The littlest girl nodded.
What?
"Don't hurt her Iggy. She was meant to find us." She said, sound kind of... Prophetic. Max looked like she was going to blow her top. "Coral, welcome to the Flock."
Im not entirely sure about this chapter ending! I may change it if you guys think it needs work! Review! :)
