Max POV

The sun rose in the distance I could see the sky turning an orangish color. I sat up, and leaned against the tree I was sleeping on the night. I looked around and did a head count. Fang was sleeping in the tree right in front of me, when I looked at him my heart skipped a beat, Iggy and Gazzy were sleeping the same tree as Fang, Nuge was in the tree to the left of them talking about some blue Peeps that were going to kill the world, and sadly in this world that we live in she might not be lying. Angel was in the branch next to Nuge looking like a sweet no bird kid who could really get under your sink, like all of the time, and it even looked like she had a halo. If I could freeze time right now I would. My family was safe. And that is all that matter.

"MAX! I', HUNGERY! What can we eat?" Gazzy's loud voice rang through the forest in North Carolina where we spent the night.

"Why would anyone be a wake at this Jelly bean forsaken time?" Nuge yelled back. "Gazzy this means I'm going to KILL you!"

"Y'll have to catch me first!" Gazzy half yelled /half taunted. "OW! I wasn't ready yet that didn't count!" Gazzy yelled at Angel rubbing the place where the acorn, Angle threw, hit him "I thought you were my sister! How could you team up against me with the enemy?" He was now acting all hurt.

"Nuge is NOT the enemy! You are, and I am your sister, but you woke me up so I'm going to kill you!" Angel yelled back. So much for looking so sweet that she would never want to rule the world. Now Iggy had joined Gazzy side of the fight even though he was blind he never missed his target. I took a quick look at Fang, and saw him with a small smile on his face, you wouldn't be able to see the smile if you didn't know him for 18 years. I looked back at the kids and saw that they were all throwing acorns at each other. This is not how I wanted the day to start, we need to get going. So I said the only thing that I knew would get them to stop. "Hey guys if you don't stop throwing the Bloody acorns (I thought it would be cool to add some British to this chapter) I'm going to make you all breakfast, you are going to eat every bit of it!" They froze. I knew it would work

Oh, please anything, but that! I eat a lizard, or peeps!" Nuge said desperate not to eat anything I make.

"I think Max, wants to make eggs, bacon, pancakes am I forgetting anything Max?" Fang asked playing along.

"Yeah, I'm going to try and make some French toast. Doesn't that sound really good?" I asked jumping down. When I turned around everyone had joined me on the ground begging me not to make anything, and that they would eat out of dumpsters. Finally Angel started to laugh. "Max, you are so mean! That was good, but cruel." She must have read my mind. Yeah I know what you must be thinking how can a 10 year old read can mind well I'll explain everything when we take off.

"Alright we need to go, well actually we need to have been gone like an hour ago, but you guy were too busy throwing acorns at each other. Here eat these," I said throwing them some burgers Fang got form Burger King. "Now let's go!" I grabbed my back pack and took a running leap and jumped into the air. I opened my light brown wing and let them fill with air. I looked around me and saw that the flock had joined me in the air.

Ok by now you might want to pull out your hair trying to figger out how they have wings why can the little one read minds? So let me explain. My name is Maximum Ride and this is my flock Fang, is 18, Iggy, is also 18, Nuge is 14, The Gas Man is 13, and Angel is 11. Then there's me I'm also 18, and I'm leader of this flock along with Fang. We were made in this place called the School, evil place witch we destroyed last year. Jeb, one of the white coats, took us to a safe house and then left after two years. Four years ago some Erasers, half-wolf, half-man, came and attacked us. They took Angel with them and that is when we saw Jeb again. Once we got Angel back we were on the lookout for our parents. The only thing we found out was that Jeb was my father and who my mother was. But we can never stay with my mom cause we don't want to put her life in any danger. We've been on the lookout for any new School that we can destroy.

Ok now about the School, when we were not even alive the White coats injected us with bird DNA. So now we are 98% human and 2% bird hit the wings. All of us have some talents. Angel can read people's minds and control them, and she , well we all can but she was the first one two, breath under water. Gazzy can well his name really says what he is good at. Nuge is really good with computers and can attract metal. Iggy can fell colors and see the color white, we think he will get his sight soon. Fang can disappear into the surrounding. I can fly really really fast. That's all there really is to know about us.

"Max when are we going to stop for a break we've been flying for three hours? Where are we going do you even know?" Nuge asked from below me

"Once we find a cave to stay at, and we are going to D.C." I respond.

"uh…Max…I fell something from the North and the South." Angel said

"Can you tell what it is?" I asked getting ready for a big fight.

"I don't know what one you hate more. There is some of those new Erasers coming from the North and…I don't think you want to know what is coming from the South…..But it's the one and only Dylan…"Angel said. I HATE Dylan with all of the fiery passion inside of me. He is my "perfect other half" but Fang is and will always be mine. Even if he did leave me for a while, but relieved that he needed me, and I know I needed him. I looked over at Fang and saw fire flicker in his eyes when Angel said who it was.

"Oh good two things that I can destroy!" I said sounding joyful.

"Max" Angel said, "He's not alone."

How was that? I know it's cliffy …and I hate to tell you this but I'm going on vacation for a week so I won't be able to write for a while! I hope it was good. Please please review! :D
