Chapter 9
Fang POV
We got back and both Max and I fell asleep quickly. Neither of us brought up the shock, I mean what would you say about it? 'Hey when we touch do you feel the electric shock up your arm too?'
I maybe awkward, but that would be a suicide conversation with Max. I mean that girl shows less emotions than me. The emotionless brick wall. And that's an accomplishment.
Right now, I'm lying in bed. Its morning but due to the lack of noise I think I might be the only one awake. I turn over to check on Max to see that she isn't there. All I see is a neatly made bed, with her PJ's at the end.
Huh. I guess she got up. When I wasn't paying attention. That's not good. She must've only gotten like 3 hours of sleep. I might not sleep much, but even I get more than that. I wonder how she can function. I mean I can barely function with 6, which is my normal amount. 3 has to be suicide.
God, I wonder how this girl is going to do at school. Ugh. School, starts 1 week after we get back from our little stay at Max's home.
Don't get me wrong, this place is pretty awesome. I mean bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and kitchen. All in a cave and it's hidden and protected. I wonder how Max keeps it so protected. Hmmm maybe I don't want to know that.
I am so going to dread leaving this place and going to school. I mean I am smart and all, but the girls there are so….fake. Coated in a million pounds of makeup and barely covered in any clothing. With their screechy voices and bitchy attitudes want me just to hide in a hole and die.
And since I am consider 'hot', their words not mine, they constantly throw themselves at me. Especially Lissa and Brigid. Both have fiery red hair that looks like a ketchup bottle puked on them with million pounds of makeup and sultry clothing. They both won't leave me alone. Now come to think of it, I think Max is the only girl to resist my charm… huh. I guess so.
Most girls fall over when they see me. They flirt and turn to pudding. It can be amusing. Especially when I pull out my smirk, they are done by then. Max didn't even bat an eye… hell I think she hates my smirk. My cheek still hurts when she slapped me, and called me a cocky arrogant jerk. I stopped acting like that afterwards. I don't know why but I just didn't like Max being mad at me. Nudge and angel were always on my case about me being a 'playboy' they call it. I don't do anything, but I have dated a lot of girls…
Something tells me Max wouldn't like that. Nope not at all. Wait! Why do I care?!
Ugh. I wish I would get some answers. Like back to that electric shock…
I shivered. I want to feel that again. I want the shock then the fire that followed. It felt so…good. I wonder what it would feel like if we kissed…
No! Bad Fang! No thoughts about kissing Max! She's your friend!
I don't think my scolding is working, considering I don't feel guilty…and I keep thinking about it. Sigh. This isn't going to solve my problem, lying in bed.
I got up and threw on some clothes and made my bed. I threw my sweat pants on my bed. I don't sleep with my shirt. It just bothers me. I walk back out into the kitchen. I see Max, dressed, cooking breakfast. It smelled great.
"You know, you're pretty lucky I learned to cook before coming here. I used to burn water. And yes it was possible since I managed to do it. I did take some classes but it took a lot of practice." Max said without turning around once. How she knew I was there, I have no clue. I chuckled at the thought of Max burning water.
"How grateful am I" I said, sarcastically. I could hear the smirk in Max's voice "You should be, I am the Maximum Ride"
Max placed multiple plates on the table and turned around to get the juice and milk. Pancakes, Waffles, toast, eggs, hash browns, sausages, and BACON.
I walked silently and was about to steal some delicious bacon when Max said "Fang don't even think about it." I was shocked. I was the silent black shadow. How could she have known?! Max turned and set the rest of the table. I was still shocked.
"Former FBI agent? And my old partner used to do that…" Max faded off, looking off into the distance. I knew memories were taking over, bad or good. By the shiver I am thinking badly. But I said nothing. Max straightened immediately and said "Can you get the kids up? Breakfast is ready" I nodded and walked towards their rooms.
10 minutes later, everybody was seated at the table chatting and eating. They were so happy. Max and I were the only silent ones. Me, because I don't like speaking in general. Max, I have no clue. Max all of a sudden pulled something out, looks like a phone. Hmmm wonder what's up.
"Ari, honey, I need you to take the others to their rooms. Ok? No times for jokes, I have some business to take care of. Nobody leaves here, until I get back. Clear?" Max's voice was soft yet firm. Something was wrong. Nudge opened her mouth as did the rest of us to ask, but Ari shook his head furiously. Everybody shut their mouth.
"Ok, be careful Maxi." Was all Ari said and then left the older kids. Iggy and I weren't going anywhere without answers. We knew something was wrong and I wanted to know what. Same goes for Iggy.
As soon as the younger ones left, Max came to life. She sprang out of her chair and down the hall. Iggy and I followed. Max darted into our room and strapped on a gun, knives, Taser, and her bow and arrows. She also strapped something onto her wrists. She looked up and saw us.
She narrowed her eyes. "What?" she hissed coldly. "What's going on?" I asked, unfazed. Max looked at us then her phone went off again. She swore and darted out faster. Iggy and I followed again. She ran down the hall and I thought she was going to hit the wall but fazed right through it.
One thought: 'wwwhhhhaaaatttt?'
Iggy went first then I did. I entered a room that was bare. Nothing just a stone room. Then max hit some dials and a million screens popped up. Max focused on the big one, typing in random commands I think
The big screen showed one big picture. I think Max focused on a camera hidden out there. 2 men dressed in black were creeping along. I couldn't make out any details but apparently Max recognized them and swore again.
"Max..?" I started but was cut off. Max was furiously typing things into the computer. I then heard 2 loud bangs and some locks. I looked at Max.
"What was that?" Iggy asked slowly. Max whipped towards him. "Security system is in effect. Nothing gets in here, unless I want it to. You guys need to go join the kids. I have to deal with some unwanted people." She said grimly. I was about to protest when Max all of a sudden fell to the ground clutching her head. She cried out in pain.
I and Iggy tried to comfort her, but we had no idea what was happening. Max stayed curled up in a ball. She slowly started to come out. As soon as she was on her feet. A red loud blaring noise sounded. Max turned pale.
"Omega" was all she whispered and then she was off running. I and Iggy close behind her.
