The Forgotten (A Maximum Ride Fanfic)

Chapter 5: Found

Fang Pov

Damn it, we've been in New York for three days so far and no luck what so ever!

Mostly we were walking around waiting for Angel to pick up on Max's thoughts. She's trying really hard but New York is huge! Angel, Gazzy and Nudge were all worn out; they weren't used to walking so much. Iggy surprisingly held as strong as me.

He and I hadn't been getting along lately. Everyone else forgave me, I didn't get why Iggy doesn't. But I didn't like making a big show of things; I most likely wouldn't ask him about it.

"Fang….I'm hungry," Nudge said with her usual pouty face, guess that hasn't changed much, huh?

"Okay, we'll stop for lunch soon." I studied the city below me; it was nearly nightfall. Which was why we were flying so low.

Half an hour later, we all walked out of Cold Stone, we all had gotten the 'Got to Have It.' We managed to steal a couple thousand dollars from Jeb. We were walking along the side walk, laughing as Total kept jumping up to lick Angel's ice cream, and she kept dodging him.

Then suddenly, we heard a loud scream.

"What was that?" Iggy asked.

"It sounded like a girl's voice," Nudge said.

"Angel, can you pin point the thoughts of the person who's screaming?" I asked her. I'd been talking a lot lately, go figure. Angel gave me a 'mhmm' and closed her eyes tightly and concentrated.

"Ummm…" she mumbled, "Around that corner, into the ally way." She pointed to an alley a couple of feet away from us. "Ugh, they're thinking horrible thoughts about this girl," she remarked. Iggy, Gazzy and I slowly walked toward the alley; we have issues against dark, scary places.

There was another scream.

"Max…" Iggy mumbled "THAT"S MAX'S SCREAMING" He yelled at me. We all dropped our ice creams and ran into the alley. What I saw next was absolutely disgusting. Some guys and Max pinned under them, and the leader. I presume, had his lips, slobbering all over her neck. She tried fighting back, pushing them back and letting out terrified grunts. She was failing miserably, and giving up.

Oh shit, they were trying to jump Max. I heard clothes tearing. Anger seared through me.

Max Pov.

I don't know what going on, why are they doing this to me? I want to leave! Right now. He pinned me down under him.

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll make sure you enjoy the first time." I wanted to scream "let me go", but I was frozen in shock. Why oh why did I have to be in a skirt and a tank top? Next thing I know, his lips were on mine. Instinctually, I forced myself to push him away, this aggravated him more, his lips travel down to my neck, and I took this opportunity to scream.

Big mistake…

Two more men showed up.

"Hey man, save a little for us," one guy said, and the other grunted in response. I opened my mouth to scream again, but their hands came down over my mouth. I pushed and struggled with everything I had, but they held me back further. I couldn't stop them; my senses were beginning to get frayed. Every part of me was in fear and hyper drive.

Then my mind hit a black wall of realization.

I was being jumped….and there was nothing I could do about it. I closed my eyes and slowly gave up. Next thing I knew, I saw two angry teenage boys rip all the men off of me. One boy had …what's the word? Emo black hair, I couldn't see too much of his face but I noted that he was dressed in all black, and was quite tall for his age. He seemed kind of...intimidating, I don't know why, but I immediately disliked him. His face was twisted into rage and it was quite terrifying. The other boy was just as tall, but he had strawberry blonde hair, and I could see his piercing blue eyes. I was mesmerized by them. I always had a thing for blonde hair and blue eyes; my romantic history speaks for itself. This boy seemed to be just as angry, but I also saw…compassion…in his face?

Still in shock, I staggered back two steps until I had my back against the wall. I sank down to the ground. My mind was having a hard time processing that I had almost…been raped. For the second time today I cried, the first time out of anger, the second out of fear. Two little girls ran to me. One had beautiful black hair and mocha colored skin and eyes, the other girl had blonde locks of curly hair much like mine and pretty gray-blue eyes. She looked rather angelic (They grabbed my arms and pulled me to my feet, and then they both wrapped their arms around my waist. I was confused and shocked but I wasn't going to complain. They were probably afraid of those men too. I put my arms around them.

I looked over to see the blonde haired boy and black haired one beating up the men who tried to jump me. The black hair one, threw a man up against a wall, and punched the day lights out of him. The blonde one kept punching the man in the stomach. The one who … err kissed me was being held by a small boy with sandy blonde hair, he must be related to the Angelic one.

After the dark one and light one finished with the men in their hands, they went after my attacker. I started shaking in my place.

"Don't worry, Fang will take care of them," The angelic one told me. Fang? The name was enough to scare me. The dark haired one grabbed my attacker by the collar, and brought him up close to his face.

"Never…Rape…Women ...Again!" He said angrily. I cringed at his angered face, I didn't like this one. I sobbed as I imagined what would have happened to me. The dark one smiled and started punching that guy, and the light one was helping him

The light one kneed him in the stomach, and the guy doubled over; the dark one grabbed the guy by his hair and smashed his head against the wall. I screamed out in shock as I heard a crunch.

"Fang, she's losing it. Gazzy, Nudge, and I will take care of him." The two little girls let go of me, I staggered back to the wall, and the two oldest boys took their place.

"What's going on, why…why are the little girls fighting them?" I stammered.

"Don't worry, they can handle themselves," the light one softly murmured. I watched the little girls fight in horror. There just small little girls and they were practically killing this man.

"Stop!" I screamed. "He's going to die!" They looked up at me in shock. The two little girls stopped and held the unconscious man in their arms.

"Why? He deserves it," the dark one said, and the rest mumbled an agreed response.

"How could you say that? He may be a cruel man, but he's still a living human being!" I shouted at them.

"Max he tried to rape you!" he yelled. I cringed away from him, and the realization hit me, he knew my name. My eyes flew to him; he seemed to be upset about something.

"How do you know my name?" I trembled.

"Just let me-" His hands started to reach for me.

"Don't touch me!" I spat at him. I started backing away from him.

"Fang, back off, you're freaking her out!" the lighter one said. The light one threw me an apologetic looks, and his eyes pierced right into mine. I felt drawn to them.

"Dude, Iggy's right, back off," the smaller boy said. The little girls nodded in agreement.

"Max please..." he pleaded. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. His lips came crashing down on mine.

My eyes went as wide as Frisbees, and my heart jumped out in my chest. Adrenaline took me over; I brought my knee up and kicked him in the crotch.

"Fang!" they all yelled in unison. They pried him off of me. I trembled and tears ran down my cheek fast and hard. Sobs bubbled up my throat.

"YOU'RE MONSTERS, ALL OF YOU!" I screamed at them. With that, I charged out of the alley and ran without looking back.

The last thing I saw was, Fang, the dark one, holding the lighter boy's collar with a threatening look in his eyes.
