A/N: Hey welcome to my story called 'Running with the stars' I hope you like it. This isn't a comedy but I'll try to put some in. Hope you get sucked in.
R&R
I've never had a normal life. Always keeping an eye out for erasers or something else those scientists have created. Why? I have something they want. What? A small vile containing a substance that can give any human: of any age: bird like DNA. But the vile has never been tested on a human. Who am I? My name is Max and I protect this vile and my little sister Ella. We ran away when our mother and father were kidnapped and never looked back. I'm 14 and Ella is 13.
But now I'm in a crowded consent. This consent is so crowded you never would've been able to find us. Who's the big Star? More like stars. They call themselves 'The Flock'. Why? Because they have wings and are the best singers I've ever heard. Iggy and Fang are both singers and Guitarist. Nudge sings and uses the mix board to make sounds. Gazzy is the drummer and last but not least Angel is the Keyboarder. I've always suspected them to an experiment from 'The School' but why would they be out in the open? Anyway there awesome and I would kill for some wings like there's. Fangs are like 14 feet long or something.
"Which T-shirt do you want Max?" said Ella. I looked at all the t-shirts. One said 'Fang is so hot' another one says 'Iggy is hotter than Fang' (A/N: A slogan from a picture I saw on Birdgirl24's profile). Another one said 'Currently undecided' and a picture of Fang and Iggy with a question mark on both of them. I pointed to that one.
"That one" I said and the man behind the counter passed one to me. I smiled at him and looked at Ella who was wearing her 'Iggy is hotter than Fang' top. I gave the man his money, slipped the t-shirt over mine and walked up to the stage. We managed to get right up to the stage and then the band came on Nudge went straight to the mic and then they all started waving. This close to 'The Flock' you can see how uneasy 'Fang' the one with Black hair and olive skin looked. He had a fake smile and kept nervously glancing at all the exits.
"Is everybody ready!" yelled Nudge over the Microphone. Everyone screamed and whistled and clapped. "Then let's start!" then she started singing Paparazzi. She was an incredible singer. I danced with Ella and we sung some of the lyrics. I'm not a big fan but I'll dance with my sister anytime, anyplace as long as we don't attract attention.
We are the crowd, we're c-comin' out Leather and jeans, garage glamorous I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Promise I'll be kind I'll be your girl backstage at your show Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and we turn I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Promise I'll be kind Real good, we dance in the studio I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Promise I'll be kind
Got my flash on, it's true
Need that picture of you
It so magical, we'd be so fantastical
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us it don't have a price
Ready for those flashing light
'Cause you know that baby, I
Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be
Your papa, paparazzi
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah, cause you're my rock star in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry
It don't have a price, loving you is cherry pie
Cause you know that baby, I
Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be
Your papa, paparazzi
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Snap, snap to that shit on the radio
Don't stop for anyone
We're plastic but we still have fun
Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be
Your papa, paparazzi
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Then Fang walked up to the Microphone and gave Nudge the Guitar. He stepped towards the Microphone and smiled. Then the whole crowd erupted in screaming some girls next to me screamed "we love you Fang!" and stuff like that. Ella rolled her eyes. Ella has Iggy-itis.
"Are we ready?" he said punching a fist into the air.
"Yeah!" the crowd screamed.
"What would you like me to sing?" he said acting like he was chatting with a friend. The crowd erupted into suggestion and I screamed out my favourite song too. He then walked over to the edge and leaned towards me. He was looking straight at me and crouching in front of me.
"What song would you like?" he said and put the microphone to my lips.
"Um" I gazed into his eyes and he seemed relaxed now "Gotta be somebody". He smiled and took the microphone back to his lips. The crowd was still screaming.
"Okay" he said "You keep an eye on this for me" he said and then he took his black cap off and put it right on my head and then got up and walked back to the microphone stand and started singing. "OMG you've got Fangs cap on" said Ella practically bouncing up and down. I was flushed he was kind of cute.
This time I wonder what it feels like So I'll be waiting for the real thing So I'll be holding my own breath right up 'til the end 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there 'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end? 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there 'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there Nobody wants to be the last one there
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
Until that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
And you know this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standing here with you
Is it that moment when I find the one that I'll spend forever with
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
You never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holding on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
He finished on a soft note.
"You can keep that" He said pointing at me and my mouth hung open for a milli-second. I had a superstar's hat on. Unfortunately it was black and I couldn't get him to sign it. No selling it on E-bay. Then a loud crash came from behind us. Everyone started screaming and running for their lives. I grabbed Ella and pulled her through the crowed to see about 30 erasers standing at the door. Fear sprinted through me and then I ran towards one of the exits.
"There she is!" I heard one of them yell. Then 5 more erasers burst through the door I was going for. I ran up to them and kicked their dog butts.
"Go Ella! Run!" I screamed. She turned and sprinted through the door. I turned around to see they were just finishing the circle around me.
"Give us the vile and we won't hurt you" said one of the erasers. I snorted and turned Fang's cap backwards on my head.
"You'll have to take it the hard way" I said. Then they all started dropping to the ground. I walked up to one. Its eye's were closed. I lightly touched his neck. No pulse. It was dead. I can't believe it. I heard laughing. I looked up to see 'The Flock' standing there cracking up.
"You know we should've seen how far she got." Said Iggy laughing. I gritted my teeth then I noticed Fang wasn't laughing he was quietly checking all the erasers for a pulse.
"You don't know how close they came to getting what they wanted." I said gritting my teeth. "How did you do that?"
"Easy" said Angel smiling at me she looked so sweet and she was only 7 "I told them with my mind to stop thinking and their hearts shutdown." She was still smiling at me even though that was the most gruesome thing I've heard a seven-year-old say.
"Remind me not to mess with you" I sighed.
"What did they want from you?" said Fang looking up at me. I paused and looked at them all keeping my tongue tied."You can trust us" he said and then my tongue untied and I opened my mouth.
"They want this" I said pulling out the small vile hanging around my neck "It's avian DNA and other compounds that if put in to any human can turn them into part birds." I looked at them all.
"We've had these wings since birth and we work to keep ourselves from extermination" Nudge said and paused "Now we have to get out of here before they get us"
"I don't have wings" I said hopelessly. Fang looked at me and thought for a second.
"We can't leave you here" he said. I put my hands on my hip and raised an eyebrow.
"Was that a question or a statement?" I asked. He looked up at me and then walked straight up to me and looked own into my eye. He was really tall for a 14-yaer-old.
"I'll carry you to safety then you're safe then you're on your own" he said coldly.
"You're a lot nicer on stage you know" I said glaring back at him. He had a really cold stare it sent shivers down my spine. But I stood my ground I am the incredible Max.
"Isn't Max a boy name?" said Angel confused.
"My full name is Maximum Ride" I said looking at her then I turned back to see Fang still glaring at me. I glared back getting about 3cm away from his face. I could now see his dark black eyes. They were filled with mushy emotions. He was like a steel teddy bear: all hard on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside.
"Why do you hate me all of a sudden?" I asked coldly.
"Fang hates fans especially when we have to save one and their like 'Oh my god my Hero'" Said Gazzy perfectly imitating a girls voice.
"I'm not a fan" I said snidely looking at him with a softer expression.
"Prove it" He said getting 1cm from my face. I thought for a second I liked this cap it was comfy and free: the best kind of cap. But I could smell the musky scent he gave off. It smelt amazing and I didn't even know what the smell was.
I had an idea to prove I wasn't a fan. I brought my knee straight to his crouch and he fell to the ground.
"Oh god that hurt" he said rolling on to his back and everyone was cracking up. I smiled and bowed towards them.
"Encore" Iggy shouted and I turned to see Fang had stood up again. He came closer then threw a punch and it hit me fair in the nose and it hurt like hell. Then it started bleeding. I pulled my hand away from my nose to see my hand covered in blood.
"(Insert description word of choice)" I said and then I jumped at him knocking him to the ground. I threw a punch and got him in the nose. Bullseye! He then rolled us and pinned me down and that was our fight. Trust me he was incredible strong.
"Not a fan got it" he said relieved I had stopped squirming to kick him "I'll be nicer if you be nicer" He said . I heard Iggy cracking up and looked at him then looked at Fang he was looking at me confused and I wasn't much better. I looked down to see that Fang was sitting on my stomach and leaning forward pinning me down. His eyes were levelled with mine and he realised as quickly as me and jumped off. I stood up and picked up my cap off the floor. No it's not Fang's anymore.
"You know giving me the hat back would've proved your point just as well" he said narrowing his eyes at me. I shrugged.
"I felt like beating someone up and I like this hat and it's no longer yours" I said raisings my nose in the air and then looking at him. He was smiling to himself and shaking his head. Everyone else was just laughing their heads off.
"We need to go" Fang said motioning me towards him. I walked slowly: taking half a step at a time then finally got to him.
I looked at all of them and they were all nodding and ruffling their feathers ready to fly. Then a man ran in and ran straight up to the erasers.
"Boss we're sorry but we couldn't let them hurt her" Said Iggy. The man looked up at me and I was rushed with so many emotions in one: Happiness, curiosity, betrayal, shock:
"Dad" I breathed out and everyone looked at me shocked.
A/N: You liked it or not. I hope you did. I really couldn't think of a better plotline. If you haven't picked up on it Max has no wings and the rest of the flock are in a band to raise money for the Itex place.
Those songs were; gotta be somebody By Nikelback and Paparazzi by Lady Gaga.
Did you like my FAX humour? It was the only thing that tied in with the story. Trust me.
