Hi guys, this is my first ever story uploaded to fan fic so lots of feedback would be great so yea awesome! Hope you like it! (disclamer:I dont own Maximum Ride and niether do you unless you are james patterson and in that case I am mistaken)

Max POV

Flying through the sky at 150 kmph always gets your blood pumping. Twisting, turning. Soaring, diving. Everything a mutant bird freak could want. Angel and I (Max) have been flying for hours at around 150 kmph non-stop. At the moment we are flying with some migrating birds over that Pacific Ocean. Okay so if you hadn't already guessed, Angel and I are, well, Mutant bird freaks that have wings, raptor vision and special talents that keep popping up out of nowhere. We are 98% human and 2% avian. It's really amazing what 8% avian DNA can do to you.

Well, that was easier to say than I thought it was going to be. Yea so we are heading to Africa (shhhhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone that! We are on the run from the evil scientist freaks that grafted our DNA with avian DNA) the rest of our flock is headed to Antarctica, but we thought we would take a detour and go to Africa instead.

So here we are, us Avian Americans flying over the ocean alongside an A380 airplane. Haha yes I did just call myself an 'Avian American'. Well we are American and technically we are Avian (which means birds) So Avian American seems to fit.

'Max, how much longer do we have to fly, I'm hungry' Angel moaned. She is only six so it makes sense for her to be tired after 3 or 4 hours of flying non-stop with no food or rest. Flying does take a lot out of us. Heaving a 13 foot wing span around all the time, up and down, up and down, it just gets tiring. But there is no comparison. Flying is the most amazing, exhilarating thing to do in the world. You humans just wonder around on your feet while hundreds of miles above your heads we are soaring around, feeling the wind in our feathers, breathing in the thin oxygen, floating on up drafts. It really is amazing. 'Not too long sweetie, hang in there. You are a big, strong girl. You can do it sweetie. Whether this takes us 5 more minutes or 5 more hours. You will do it. Once we get to some land we will stop and rest for a while but for now, we fly'.

We reached land within 10 minutes of my talk about holding out. So my little speech was in vain. 'Don't worry Max, Your speech was good' I look over at my little Angel, she has a big innocent grin on her face. How did she know I was thinking that you ask? Well that's because she can read minds. Oh yea and just to top it off, she can control people with her mind too. She once got a lady to buy her a stuffed bear worth $49.00. She then named this bear Celeste and will not go anywhere without her special little bear. We were still flying around, scanning the area that we wanted to land in, making sure there was no one around.

And then the choppers come.

Haha I love a good cliff hanger. I know this was a short chapter but trust me it will get longer as it gos and the plot thickens!
