Chapter 1

This was my life, it had been my life since I first opened my eyes, since I first was able to feel anything. I lived in fear, a good healthy daily dose of fear was what I was raised on, I was too afraid to move a few scant feet when I was on my own like this, afraid that there would be more repercussions, more pain, more of those tests. I was afraid of living, because this was all there was in the world, and when I was alone it was the worse than ever.

I heard metal doors clanging and heavy rubber boots thumping rhythmically down the hall somewhere. The sound was getting closer, I cowered into the corner by the steel bunker, hoping the shadows would hide me and they would think someone had already taken me out. But they weren't easily fooled, like me they had extra senses, like me, they knew what would happen next.

The door clanged open and I tried to resist as harsh hands dragged me out of the caged room. I became desperate and started thrashing around, no, I didn't want this! Why wouldn't they stop? Why couldn't they leave us all alone? The hands that restrained me dug into my flesh like claws, I thrashed around and twisted trying to run, to where I had no idea, there was nowhere to run. My fluffy baby wings were pulled on and I cried out as I was dragged down the halls. I managed to bite the hand of whoever was holding me and they let me go, only for a moment though. I got hit in my stomach with the force or a train. I doubled over, trying not to sob as tears made tracks down my cheeks.

I stopped fighting, I knew I couldn't win. As I was dragged down the halls I saw some more Wing Beaters walking down the hall. They were marching Sky back to her cell. I peeked through my hair at her and was glad to see she was okay, they hadn't hurt her. I nearly smiled because she saw me too, I knew what she would do, she would rip me from their arms, comfort me, and protect me the most she could. All I wanted was to be held by her. But the stranger carrying me turned and I lost sight of Sky. I heard her yell and a fight break out, again I tried to break free, to get to her. Again I failed.

I was thrown onto a metal slab table and restraints were wrapped around my wrists and ankles. I began to shake as fear clouded everything. A man wearing army uniform under his white coat walked up to me carrying a tray that held a needle and numerous cutting instruments.

"Let's see what we can do with this experiment shall we?" he didn't speak to me, they never did. I was an EXPERIMENT, not worth a conversation, instead he spoke to the other scientists.

I flinched as the needle was pushed into my neck and the plunger depressed. I felt pain rip through my body and make it shake in reaction to whatever they had injected me with. In desperation I retreated into my mind. I ignored as much as I could. I tried to imagine the sun and trees that Sky had told me about. I didn't even know if it existed or not. I heard the scientists talking as they took their samples and started operating on my arm.

Inside I started to weep and cry out for my sister. Inside I broke. Inside I grew stronger because on the outside I could only be weak.

I was two years old and this was my life. I was two years old and I had never seen what was outside these walls that Sky said was not all there was. I was two years old and my brother Chase, sister Sky and I were stuck here at these brutal hands that acted like God. I was two years old and these people made the decision if I would live each day. I was two years old and my name was Maximum Ride.

A/N Well how was that? This is the prequel to my first story so if you haven't read it, go read it! Please review, and I am trying to make this better than my first story. I've gotten an idea of what works and what doesn't now, so yay me! I will update with the second chapter as fast as I can, but don't expect any miracles. Tell me what you think.
