This is a Maximum Ride fan fic... actually it's a Ember fan fic. (Max is a little 'tied up' at the moment muahaha).
Ok, so this is my very first story that I've actually posted on the internet for people to see other than my friends (who are probably biased haha).
Reviews would be very nice, considering that I've never actually done something like this before...
Funny how this all began as a little daydream written in Chemistry class :D.
Chapter 1: It's A Small World After All
I leaned against the tree trunk in the shade, my 16 foot wings fully out and relaxing. The sun was shining brightly, its rays hitting the lake that I was near in all the right spots for a spectacular view. I was just finishing up my fourth double cheeseburger that a young teenage boy had so graciously bought for me.
Okay, so I had to flirt with him a little.
Anyway, I was drawing a picture of the lake view, not a care in the world. I had almost forgotten that I had escaped from THAT evil place just a mere month ago with my little sister clutched to my arms, flying for dear life and hoping that they weren't right on my tail.
Yeah, notice the almost in that sentence.
O::O::O::O::O::O
"I'm hungry," Nudge said to me yet again as we flew in the sky.
"Me too," said everyone else in unison.
"I need to go to the bathroom! Hey . . . I bet it would be funny if I went in the sky!" said Total, our talking dog.
Yes, I did say talking.
"Oh, for the love of God, can we please land before Total "accidentally" relieves himself on me?!" Iggy asked as he held Total a bit uncomfortably in his arms.
"Fine, give me a second" I replied as I looked around below.
There was a little forest that could hide us well, which just so happened to be not too far from a very empty looking Wendys.
"Okay, time to land" I said as I started to spiral downward. Everyone followed behind me, keeping a look out for any signs of danger. After scouting the area, we landed in a high tree near some bushes. "There's a lake we can wash up in" I said, keeping my wings out as I jumped off of the tree branch.
"Finally! Land!" Total said as he jumped out of Iggy's arms.
"Race ya' there!" yelled the Gasman, and they were all off. I, unfortunately, had to stay with Total while he took his grand time sniffing trees to find the right one. When he did his business, he looked up at me with a relieved smile on his face.
"Much better" he sighed. I rolled my eyes at him.
"That wasn't necessary. I'm pretty sure none of these trees have been used by anyone else recently" I said.
"You never know! And besides, why would I just go on any tree like a barbarian? What kind of dog do you think I am?! It has to have the right texture and size. I personally prefer maple and palm trees, but are we ever near maples and palm trees? Noo . . . " Total began. I tuned him out, wondering why we even decided to get a dog, much less an annoying talking one.
Oh yeah, because of Angel.
And speaking of the flock, why don't I hear splashing noises? The lake isn't too far off . . . I thought to myself, now a bit concerned.
I guess Total picked up on it too because he stopped mid sentence in his rant, looked around and asked, "So where'd the rest of them go?"
That's just what I'd like to know . . . I thought as I started speed walking in the direction that they went in.
Fang, you should come and see this...I heard Angel say to me in thought. My mind went on overdrive as I let Total jump into my arms and rushed past the trees, my inner G.P.S. leading me right to them. I almost tripped over them; with the speed I was going and how they were crouched down, hiding behind the bushes, looking intent and curious.
Well, Gazzy looked more mischievous than anything, but still.
"What are you . . . " I began, and got myself shushed by everyone and yanked down to the ground by Nudge's hands.
"Be quiet! There's a girl over there!" said Nudge quickly before going back to her spying.
Most people would think, "A girl? What's so special about that?" and would get up and walk right up to them. But of course, we have to be different. The mutant bird-flock children HAS to be different from other people in order to survive. That would probably explain why I was on full alert right now as I also peered through the bushes.
And I saw her.
Sitting there under a tree with a book and pencil in her hands, her eyes roaming over the land in front of her, as if she was taking it all in. She was a bit lighter than Nudge in skin tone. Her slightly wavy hair came down to her shoulders in a not-so-straight-but-it-looks-good-on-you kind of cut, as if she had done it herself, which she probably did. She looked like a regular teenager with her low tan cargo pants and her tight black shirt that showed a little of her belly. If she was, we probably would've scurried as far away from her as soon as possible so she wouldn't see us when we flew away.
But she wasn't a regular teenage girl.
She had wings.
