I felt a tingling sensation run through my body as I shifted forms, from human-avian hybrid to horse sized wolf. A couple days ago the Voice had told me that I had a few new powers. It turns out I can now see the future, project my spirit and shape shift into many different forms. So far I had only mastered wolf, dog, vulture, eagle, tiger, cheetah, and a lion. Right now I was out hunting for the flock's dinner in wolf form. My new powers were ones I had to learn to control away from the flock because they could possibly be dangerous. I use future-seeing and spirit projection to see where all of the food was and headed that way. I caught five rabbits and headed back to the flock. On my way back I ran across a ton of tall, muscular, tanned men. I sniffed the air and silently approached, ready to steal their hotdogs.
'Snap' shit! I stepped on a stick. Well there go my chances of running up and stealing their hotdogs. But these men did something that surprised me. They didn't look at me like I was some scary animal. No. one of them actually walked up to me and then morphed into a black wolf that matched my size. This surprised me. I didn't know there were other people with the power to shape shift.
'Whoareyou?' a voice spoke in my head, but it wasn't the Voice.
'WTFareyoudoinginmyhead.' I snarled. This is bad. I made a split second Max decision and turned, sprinting into the forest. Once I was out of sight I morphed into a vulture and waited in the air for them to leave, so my scent wouldn't lead them to the Flock. They would never know the silver wolf was me. Oh wait… darn they will find out. Putting that aside I flew towards the flock and landed near them to morph back into a human, rabbits in hand.
I walked into the little clearing and dropped the rabbits into the fire to cook.
/Maximum/ the Voice said
'Whatdoyouwant?' I thought back at him.
/youmusttelltheflockofyournewpowers/
'Why?' I questioned, 'itdoesn'tseemlikeaverygoodideatome.'
/MaximumRide,youwilltellthemofyournewpowersbeforeIgiveyouabrainattack/ the voice yelled back at me in my head.
'Okay,okayfine!Nobrainattacks!' I yelled back, in resignation.
"Hey guys?" I yelled to the flock "Come over here, I got important news!" they all hurried over and I took a deep breath. "I have gotten three new powers." I watched in slight amusement as their eyes widened.
"What are they?" Gazzy asked, looking attentive for once in his life.
"I can…" I trailed off as I got sucked into the future. My vision showed tons of erasers attacking and the flock getting seriously injured and in some cases dying. It was going to happen in about ten minutes. "Damn it! Never mind about what my new powers are now! Everybody get packed!" they all ran to get packed and I pulled fang to the side.
"Take them to Seattle and if I am not there in one day you may come back but no more than that or we might all die." I told him urgently. I knew he would look back and maybe come back too soon but I had to get the younger ones to safety.
"Max! We are packed!" nudge yelled to me.
"Good! Now all of you! U&A!Go with Fang! If you disobey me you will be killed." I yelled at them, practically throwing Angel into the air. She looked back at me sadly.
'Gosweetie' I thought to her in my head 'everythingwillbefine.Iwillseeyoutomorrow.'
She nodded and flew away with the others. I knew this would be the last time I really saw them in a while.
