Chapter 1:
I come back to the cave with groceries in hand. When I land I find the Flock waiting for me. Angel with a hurt expression on her innocent face, Gazzy trying to hold back tears, Nudge full on crying, Iggy looking betrayed, and Fang looking heart broken. I drop the groceries.
"What's going on? What happened?!" I say
"We know." Fang replies
"Know what?" I say confused
"We know you are working for the School!" Iggy shouts. "Angel followed you yesterday. We trusted you as our leader and you go behind our backs and work for those monsters! That is probably the reason we keep getting attacked is because you led them straight to us!"
"Iggy, its not what it seems-"
"We don't trust you as a part of the Flock anymore. We don't want someone we can't trust." Fang interrupts
"You're- You're kicking me out?!" I say incredulous. I feel like I am about to cry.
"Ya," Iggy says. Looking at the rest of the Flock they seem to agree.
"Fine! Know this though; Angel, you were always my baby. Gazzy, you were my trooper. Nudge, I always loved your motor mouth. Iggy, your jokes always made me smile. And Fang, you were my heart. But this accusing destroyed all of that so don't come crawling back to me when you figure out the truth!" I yell.
I storm to the entrance of the cave, snap my wings out and take off. That is when the tears hit. How could they do that to me? They are my family and they don't trust me!
I can't see anything through my tears so I land. After I wear myself out by sobbing, I fall asleep.
When I woke up, the pain of yesterday hits me again. Pain is just a message. I remind myself. I cannot cry again. After a moment, my stomach growls. Guess I should find a town and eat. I take a running start and unfurl my wings.
After flying for 30 minutes, I land in a small town in Arizona. I eat at McDonalds and then go to find a cave in the desert. I eventually find one and settle down for the night. As I am about to fall asleep, someone sticks a needle in my neck and the world goes dark.
I wake up in a cage. Oh shit. I'm in the School again. And no one will know. That is when the man I hate walks in, Jeb.
"Why am I here? What do you want?" I growl
"You are here, Maximum, so we can make you better. We heard the Flock found out you were working with us and kicked you out. We decided to take you, because know no one will care." Jeb said
"You won't do anything with me!"
"We shall see." He replies. Then someone sticks another needle in my neck and the world goes dark again.
