A/N: I'm a huge fan of Maximum Ride and Percy Jackson, so I decided to combine them, and WALLAH (Is that how you spell it?) this fanfic was born. Let me know if you enjoy it, and if I should continue.

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride or Percy Jackson.

FANG'S POV

"She turned us in."

My heart plunges so far down in my chest, I think it will continue on through the floor and down to the center of the earth. Max would never betray us to the School! She would never side with them! Yet here's Dylan, telling me and the rest of the flock that Max is a spy for the School, relaying information to them.

"Hey!" I shout. "Max would never do that to us, you're crazy!"

Nudge has started crying, and so have Gazzy and Angel. Iggy is muttering to them in a calming voice, trying to tell them to relax and that Max isn't a traitor.

Dylan just stares at me darkly. "You really need to see the proof?"

I snort. "You can't have proof of something that isn't happening."

Dylan takes out a few pieces of paper from his bag. He hands them to me so I can see more closely. I'm absolutely positive my heart has sunk down to the center of the earth.

They're letters, in Max's handwriting, about the Flock, to the School.

I feel like breaking down into tears, but no. I'm Fang, I don't let anyone see my emotions. Especially not the kids. Then suddenly my sadness transfers to anger.

MAX BETRAYED US! I TRUSTED HER! SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!

She was the only person I've ever loved. I mean, I love the Flock and all, they're my family. But it's different with Max.

Iggy speaks up. "Fang, what are they?"

"He's right," is all I can make out. "Max – she…"

Iggy understands. "How…but…" The sobs from the kids get louder, and all of a sudden Max comes back from her fly.

"Oh my god, what happened?" she asks and starts walking towards the kids. I rush toward her and grab her shirt, yanking her back. We're face to face, inches away from each other. Her expression changes, her face is unreadable.

"Fang, what's going on?"

"What's going on?" I yell. "You're going on! How could you! Just go, get out, and don't come back! I swear, if you ever come anywhere near the Flock again…"

"WHAT?" If looks could kill, I would be dead right now. "HOW COULD I WHAT? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Max shouts. Her voice gets softer, and she says weakly, "I love you guys. You're my family."

And she still pretends that she doesn't know. Iggy walks over to us.

"You're working with the School, we've figured you out, Max!" he says. "Just drop the act, and get out, before I make you leave!"

Max is completely speechless for a moment. She glances at the kids, who shrink away from her, and I watch as she stiffens.

"Fine. I won't make you believe that I'm innocent. If you really don't trust me, it's not worth it. Just know that I love you," she whispers, and tears stream down her cheeks. She jumps out of the window and off the cliff, and I watch her fly away without glancing back.

~This is Jeff. He will be acting as your line break today. Say hello.~

MAX'S POV

I wake up and have a wonderful sense of safety, just like right after a nightmare. Then I realize I'm in the middle of the woods all by myself and it wasn't a nightmare. It was my own personal living hell. My Flock – my family kicked me out yesterday. I don't know what led them to believe I was a traitor, but it happened, and even though I don't want to, I've got to move on. So I point to a random place ona map and decide that's my new destination.

Rural New York, here I come.

~Say hello to Jeff again!~

It took me about five days to fly to New York, but eventually I reach my destination. I don't know to do now. I got where I was going, but now what? I've got nothing. No food, no money, no clothes but the ones I'm wearing, and DEFINITELY no company. I decide to go climb some trees. Shows you how bored I am.

I fold in my wings and start to climb. I reach a pretty decent height before I hear someone.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

Still holding on to the tree, I turn my head to see a boy about my age staring at me. He's a lot shorter than I am, probably because of my birdiness and whatnot, and he has bright green eyes with dark brown hair. Why is he even talking to me? As far as I know, I've never seen this kid in my life.

"Is there something I can help you with?" I retort.

"Actually, yeah. You're sort of on private property," he says. I hop down from the tree and he looks surprised. Most normal people can't jump from that height without injuring themselves.

"Sorry," I say. "My bad, I'll just get going." The last thing I need is more trouble, so I'm just gonna get out of here ASAP.

He looks closer, almost studying me. I get enough of that from the friggin scientists at the School, I don't need someone else becoming interested in things that should be personal (like my anatomy *cough* Jeb *cough*).

"Could you come here for a second?" he asks, his face unreadable. For some reason, I feel like I can trust this guy. I have a feeling he's different in some way. Different like me.

I walk closer to him, and his expression suddenly changes.

"Thalia," he murmurs.

"Thalia? Who's Thalia?" I demand.

"Your eyes are just like hers…and she said she got her eyes from her dad…" he trails off and his eyes widen.

"Come with me." It's not a question. I don't know what is screwing with my brain, but I choose to follow. I've now got something to distract me from Fang and the Flock.

He drags me to an archway. In the middle of the woods. I can't see anything behind it, but across the top are the words "Camp Half Blood".

The boy looks at me. "Can you read it?" he asks slowly.

I nod. I'm not stupid. I mean, yeah, Jeb told me I've been diagnosed with dyslexia but I think I can read at least a few words on a sign.

"Try to stick your hand through the arch." Another demand. This kid is awfully bossy. I make sure to let him know before I shove my hand through the air and wave my arm around.

"Wow, big shocker," I mutter sarcastically. However, the boy's eyes widen. He steps through and motions for me to follow. Again with the un-Maxish decisions, I step through the arch and he smiles at me.

"My name is Percy Jackson," he says. "Welcome to Camp Half Blood."
