Maximum Ride: Stay Beautiful

Chapter 3: "I'm your daughter"

(a week later, Isabelle's POV)

I woke up to the usual alarm, I sit up in my pink covered bed rubbing my eyes yawning

"good morning, Comet" I look down at his face as he begans panting

"good morning, miss Isabelle" his happy british voice echos from his communicator

"I don't think I'll ever get used to having a british robot dog" I stand up yawning walking into the

kitchen as Comet follows close behind

"your father wanted you to have company while he's gone on his trips from now on-"

"I know I know, he wants me to have someone watching me when he can't, I know" I open the fridge grabbing carton of milk

"Comet, grab the fruit loops from the top shelf" I say over my shoulder placing the carton on the counter, I grab my stool reaching up into the cabnit grabbing a bowl, then a spoon from the drawer just as comet places the cereal next to it.

"you know miss, I still don't understand why you keep placing the creal on the top shelf when you know you can't reach it"

1 roll my eyes making my cereal "Daddy always keeps it there, I don't want to change anything" I take my bowl to my eating table placing my bowl down listening to Comet placing everything back.

"Comet, come sit in Daddy's seat" I pat the seat across from mine before sitting down, Comet of course obays my orders sitting down.

I began using my spoon pushing my cereal into the milk

(somewhere else, the flocks house)

Iggy begins using his spoon pushing his cereal into his milk

"you're so weird" Ella comments sitting next him eating pancakes

"I'm used to it" Gazzy comments from the other side of Iggy "he's done it for a few years, ever since he started eating the stuff"

Max laughs from across the table looking down at her untracable phone "guys listen to this-"

"oh brother, she's been reading FML again" Nudge comments from the end of the table

"shut up! anyways, this girl says Today I walked outside to see my boyfriend standing on my porch, looking confused. He explained to me that he had attached a proposal note to his pet

rabbit, and let it inside my house to find me. We went looking for said rabbit, and found my dog halfway through eating it"

"ew, I'm eating max!" Nudge yelled

"that would totally be our dog, right Gazzy?" Iggy high fives Gazzy as Ella rolls her eyes

"I'm done eating, Nudge you think you can carry me to the clones house? I need to give Fudge those hair clips"

Nudge nods "yeah totally, lets go-"

"I can take you, come on Nudge" Iggy jumps in

"are you sure? I mean, you and Issac arent exactly on good terms-"

Iggy pats her head "I'm fine, I'll be in and out no one will even know I'm there"

the three begin walking to the porch as Max shouts "have fun!"

Iggy scoops Ella up making her giggle lightly

(inside the house)

"I'm glad he's happy" Max says to Fang, his arms wrapped around her

"yeah, me too. It took him long enough" he laughs under his breath resting his chin on top of

Max's head "you think the clones will?" she asks watching the three take off into the sky "it's been five years, I doubt it... but you can't give up hope I guess" she nods "yeah... you can't"

(after a long flight, the clones house)

they land on the porch of the house, Iggy places Ella down noticing the glass door is still closed "that's weird, didnt you tell them we were coming?" Ella asks Nudge she nods "of course I did"

"something isnt right..." Iggy looks through the glass door knocking on it lightly, he sees everyone is crowded in the living room "Nudge, get the history off the door before 1 bash it open" Iggy commands "right" she places her hand against the glass as Iggy backs up slightly grabbing Ella's hand gently

Nudge gasps "that whitecoat was here... he brought..." she covets her mouth backing up, she begins crying as Iggy bashes through the glass making everyone jump turning to him.

"holy shit, iggy!" Raven runs to him helping him up "what the hell man, the door was unlocked"

"let's not panic guys!" Hawk cuts in "you're going to scare her!"

"who?" Iggy groans standing up, he walks over towards everyone as they move away for him

laying passed out on thier couch a little beaten girl lays shivering in fear unconcious

"we need Angel, we need her to get into the kids head so we know what we're up against" Raven adds

"what she needs is some rest, and she needs to be patched up" Hawk says defensive

"why the sudden protective act Hawk?"

"because, she's from the school that Fudge and I are from" she turns the little girls wrist over revealing a little bird tatoo

Hawk rolls up her sleeve showing the same tatoo "just from this, I can assure you she's from the test tube... she's raised in the school"

"she... looks five" Nudge adds "and that special whitecoat you guys call Daddy, h-how long has Izzy been gone?"

Raven shook his head "you think... you think they cloned her?"

"back up"

everyone turns to see Issac standing on the stairs he pushed through the crowd stopping as soon as he laid eyes on her, he kneels down next to the little girl as tears swelled in his eyes

"I can't believe this... she looks exactly like her" he gently scoops her up "I'll take care of her, if she wakes to everyone it'll scare her" no one stops him as he carrys her up to his room

(later that day)

Issac looks over at the little girl laying in his bed, her eyelids flutter every once and awhile as she dreams soundly. Her injuries have already healed themselves.

"I know what they did to you, they made another Izzy to imprint on Iggy" he brushes a strand of her blonde hair away from her face "I hope... she's alive" he looks up at a wall in his room next to his bed covered in drawn pictures of Izzy.

(Isabelle's POV)

I open my eyes slowly feeling a warm comforting breeze greet me as I yawn sitting up "good morning Comet" I say out of habit

I suddenly scream noticing I'm no longer in my room "Daddy!" I scream as a man rushes to my side comforting me

"It's okay, your safe here" he man says, I shake my head pushing him away

"I want my daddy!" I jump up quickly running out of the room down the hall and down a set of stairs stopping as my eyes meet the eyes of a group

"Iggy?!" I yell just as a man turns around meeting my eyes, he's just as I pictured him. His slender frame bared a light blue shirt matching his light blue eyes, dark blue jeans, his hair white/blonde, his bare feet poke out from under his jeans.

my eyes began swelling with tears "you're...my daddy"

everyone gasps

"holy shit" a guy with long black hair gasps

"they... did'nt clone Izzy... they made you both a daughter" a girl with curly blonde hair adds puting the pieces together

I rush to Daddy as he pulls me in for a hug, he begins sobbing as he falls to a sitting position holding me tight.

"is... is she alive?" the girl asks

Daddy pulls me away "baby girl... is mommy alive?"

I can't lie to him, no matter what other Daddy says

"she-"

"yeah, I am" everyones gaze turns to the balcony as Izzy steps in wearing nothing put a hospital robe.
