Maximum Ride- The Side Project 33
- Here and There

<Rose>

It wasn’t long after I’d lost sight of the hut that I feel asleep. I mean, there wasn’t much else to do and though I thought it was insane for thinking so; deep down I thought Newts arms were pretty comfy. It was kinda sad. My eyelids drooped after squinting into the distance for hours and I began to softly snore. I don’t think I was fully asleep though.

I felt asleep, but then all my senses were wide awake. I could feel Newts cold arms through my torn jumper, I could smell the strange tangy smell of the Khlackts and taste the wetness in the clouds around us. But most of all I could hear the wind. The wind through Newts wings as he beat them up and down, the wind through my hair which hung over newts arms waving widely around and wiping my face. I kind of hoped it hurt him more then it was hurting me.
Immediately I was distracted from my sleep.

“How much longer?”  No-one answered me.

“Hello?” Where these things not programmed with a response thing?

“Oh for goodness sake” I pushed myself up in Newts arms as much as I could and glared around me, which wasn’t easy because I had the wind in my eyes. Newt raised an smoothed eyebrow. It looked like the ones women got tattooed on.

“Not long now”

“How longs not long”

“A 2 hours and 27 minutes”

“You’ve got to be kidding me, that’s ages!”

“Perhaps for a human as impatient as yourself” I resisted sticking my tongue out at him. Instead I pouted and slouched back down. A long silence followed, after 5 minutes I began to sigh continuously. Don’t you just hate it when people do that? Well I could tell by the expression on his face that Newt did.

“I know lets play a game”

“A game?” Again the tattooed eyebrow was raised.

“Like say…I Spy”

“I Spy?” I had to groan at that.

“So you don’t even know what I Spy is” I began explaining it to him, wondering the whole time how mad I was for explaining a child’s game to a cold blooded bad guy. He didn’t look too thrilled about playing a game with his hostage either.

“Humor me” He merely nodded and so the game of I Spy began.


“Ok that’s not fair, how was I supposed to know that word!” I swear he smirked at me then.

“Well the aim of the game is for one to think of something hard that the other cannot guess”

“Yeah but your just being ridiculous, come on be reasonable, what’s something I’d know!”

“How could you not know that” I rolled my eyes and pointed to myself.

“Me=human. You” I gestured to myself “=freak of nature” At this his eyes gleamed.

“That’s only half true, you forget” I dropped my hand and looked away.

“Yeah well, at least some good comes out of me, you just kill and take, kill and take”

“Is that really so true, since you found out about yourself, what good has come of it. Nothing bad ever harmed you before you met “them”, now look at it. As for the killing and taking, we could say the same for your people. They kill our own, are we much different”

As I took this in I realized he had a point. Which kinda pissed me off. I didn’t talk the rest of the way and shivered when we came into the sight of a building. I thought I would feel relief, I mean all the questions would soon has answers, everything would be ok. But seeing the big grey building I felt fear and realized what a big mistake I’d made. I wanted to go back. And now. I think Newt also realized this because his arms tightened crushing me to him and completely crushing my hopes of escape.

<Max>

“That’s it I’m ringing mum”

“Max It’s not worth it!”

“Yeah Max, come on, maybe she just went off on her own”

“You know how she was feeling about all this”

“Max be reasonable”

“Max!”

“SHUTUP!” Everyone was silent as the phone on the other line rang. Though it was very quiet it echoed around the silent area of the hut.

“Max”

“Mum”

“What’s…”

“Rose”

“On it” There was a pause at the other end and some sharp breathing.

“North 12 miles at the moment, I’m emailing Fang the details through”

“Thanks”

“Be safe, good luck”

“Bye” My mobile beeped off and we all crowded around Fangs laptop as he waited. A pop up appeared and we all jumped. Fang clicked it and some co-ordinates popped up.

“12 miles north, then 3 south-east…” I mumbled the co-ordinates trying to commit them to memory. Finally I sat up, the rest of the flock following.

“Ready?” Everyone looked at each other warily but nodded, knowing I wasn't about to give up. It was Fang who spoke for them.

“Lets go”


“Max! Look up ahead” My head snapped up from it’s dreamy state and I looked ahead.

“Shittakimushrooms” I hissed. My flocks eyes widened in horror as the say the looming grey building ahead of us.

“Now think she went for a walk?” They swallowed and shook their heads. Angel came as close to me as possible, her wing tips brushing mine and in a small voice asked;

“Max, do we have to go in there?” I stopped myself there and then. So many things came rushing through my mind. Was I ready to rush back into all this, I looked at my flock and their shocked expressions, they weren’t. Could I do this to them? The answer was simple. No.

“We’ll stop here for the night, it’s just far away enough, don’t worry, we’ll rest now and work out what to do in the morning.” They all nodded warily and we landed in the closest clearing.


I lay awake listening to my flocks sleeping sounds. Iggys soft snoring, Angels gentle murmurs, and the slight humming sound from the not so asleep Fang. I couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed.

"What are you doing still up?"

"Making sure you don't take off"

"What makes you think I'd do that" I pushed. He just looked at me calmy with an eyebrow raised. This boy knew me to well. I huffed and rolled over so I didn't have to look at him. This was going to be a very long night.

<Rose>

I screamed as I was poked and proded. I shuddered and jolted as something inside me moved. Maybe it was just my body, whatever it was it was painful. I opened my mouth and screamed again as someone pressed my hands to the bed to stop me tearing at my skin. This was torture. Litrally.

'Oh Max' I thought 'Where are you!'
YAY!
Im halfway through the next one now. This ones much longer then the last. Now I have to go and write the next chapter for mine and Tess's Tandom Story.
