A/N: I am starting this story based of of the Maximum Ride series, so please leave comments and feedback, good or bad. I haven't pre-write this, so bear with me! I just like to plan as I write, so its better that way I guess. Enjoy!

P.S: I wish I was James Patterson and wrote the awesome Maximum Ride series, but I didn't :( .

" BOOM!"

I wake up to the sound of evil cackling from two evil little voices that sound very familiar. I groggily get out of my bed and trudge down the stairs to the kitchen, the source of the laughter. I may not have introduced myself, so I am Maximum Ride. Kinda weird name, right? Well, my family ( Iggy, Fang, Gazzy, Nudge, and Angel) and I aren't your average kids. We are kids with wings. Yes, wings! I will go into the whole backstory later, but I need to figure out what the hooligans are up to. Probably blowing something up, as usual.

"IGGY! GAZZY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I hollered, even though I was right there, wanting to annoy them.

"N-n-nothi-i-ng M-Max!" Gazzy stammered, looking frightened.

I smirked. 'Oh, sure! The next time you two blow up stuff I will smack you so hard you'll see stars!"

Iggy and Gazzy looked at me, horrified. I kissed them both on the cheek and walked up the stairs to rouse the rest of the flock.

" Up you lazy butts! LET'S MOVE IT! DOWN TO BREAKFAST!"

A chorus of moans replied and soon thundering footsteps followed, coming to the kitchen.

Then Nudge came down first, practically glued to her iPhone, the one we all got her for her birthday, the one she insisted on having to connect with her friends more. Then, Fang slumped down the stairs followed by a perky Angel.

"Thanks for the wakeup call, Max." Fang said grumpily.

Mornin' Maxi!" Angel said happily as she came down all dressed in her fluffy pink tutu.

"Hi, Angel." I said, slapping on a fake grin. " I don't know how she can be so perky at 5 in the morning." I thought. Angel frowned at me, hearing my thoughts. Yeah, you heard me! One little thing, Angel can read minds.

After breakfast and the stressful routine of getting everyone ready, we decided to go pick strawberries in a field nearby. Then we were off, catching the downdrafts and feeling the winds in our secondary feathers. I don't know about you, but flying is one of the best ways to think about life. Unfortunately, my thoughts were all bad:

-Erasers

-Food, Shelter, Keeping us alive, etc.

-Destroying the school

But, trust me, those were some of the most best thoughts I have ever had! Suddenly a snarl interrupted my daydream.

"Didn't think you could stay away from us for long, did you?" my awful half-brother/Eraser enemy Ari said perkily.

I snarled back and retorted, "No, I doubt you actually found us, I bet your crazy mad scientists daddy found us for you because, obviously you couldn't even find your way out of a paper bag!"

Ari snarled and lunged at me, while his gang fought with the rest of my flock. Then we dropped to the ground and kept fighting, throwing kicks and punches this way and that. So far I had given Ari a black eye, a few broken ribs, and a dislocated shoulder. He had scratched me up pretty well, but it was obvious I was winning. My flock was holding there own, as far as I could see, and with my raptor birdlike vision, that was pretty far. And through all the grunts and sickening cracks of bones, I swear I heard Nudge yelling at an Eraser, "YOU RUINED OUR SELFIE!" and delivering a roundhouse kick to the Eraser's ribcage, making him tumble down to the ground below. Woa, somehow this fight had gotten up in the clouds! This little tussle ( the littlest one we've ever had, trust me) ended up being a little over a half an hour, then finally the wolf-boys gave up and left with Ari saying the same thing he does every time we have the pleasure to see him, " We'll get you next time, you flying mistakes!". Well, that certainly puts a damper on the strawberry picking fest!

"Whew, that was a piece of cake by all the other fights we've been in, don't ya think?" I hooted cheerfully. "Oh yeah, REEPORT!" I hollered.

"Good, other than no selfie with the Eraser." Nudge said gloomily. I told you she tried that! I swear that child is weird, you know, other than the freaking wings.

"Good, as far as I can feel." said Iggy.

"Yup, its all good over here." Fang said for Angel and him.

"Perfecto! Okay, new plan. Let head out! Pack your things, people!"

I could see the flock's fallen faces, but they knew it was for our safety to be on the run. But now where to go?

'They need your help, Max,' The Voice said in my head.

Ugh, The Voice decided to show again, huh?

"What do you want now!? Who needs help?" I said frustratedly, not bothering to think it, seeing the flock is already used to the Voice frustrating me. I hope I won't get a fourtune cookie answer this time, because we all know the Voice is famous for that!

'Max, I'm serious about this. Kids are being created into avian hybrids like you at the School. You have to save them. They are just like you, Max. Expand. Make an army of the same so you can take down the school once and for all. Make the School extinct. This is what you were meant to do. SAVE THE WORLD.'

I have to admit, The Voice saying that stuff really got me. And what do ya know, it actually said stuff without the fourtune cookie stuff that time! I was too wrapped up in The Voices alarming directions to hear the flock laughing over taking almost a million 'selfies', as Nudge is SOO famous for taking. Seriously, first Nudge, now she has to get everyone else in it, too?

"Guys." I said. That one word made my flock look up at me, a little worriedly.

"We have to go back to the School, and save the world," I started, like that would make sense to them now. If only they could hear The Voice's crazy antics, too." You know how the Voice is always kinda right!" I finished, trying to pump these guys up.

"Yeah, more like NEVER. Max, are we really gonna go back to that horrid place just because the Voice said so?!" Iggy groaned, half weary and half scared. A chorus of 'yeahs' and 'who knows who The Voice really is' followed Iggy's remark.

"Look. I know the Voice hasn't really gotten us in the best of situations, but this is WAY more important than all the other times it's given us help. This is for all the kids there, that we were like until Jeb took us away from the School. They don't have that opportunity! If we don't save them, I don't know about you, but I won't be able to handle myself knowing that kids just like us are being tortured. The Voice told me that they made a fresh batch of avian hybrids. The rest are… gone," I faltered, my confident look fading a bit."If we can save the ones that are left, then think of how many bird kids we could teach to fly. We could have a HUGE flock!" I exclaimed, my voice getting more louder by each word, I'm pretty sure the town next to our little hideaway could hear me." Then, we could stop these freaky, inhumane, whitecoats once and for all!"

The flock stared at me like I was a madwoman. Well, it'll get through to them eventually.

"Okayyyy" Iggy said cautiously.

Fang sighed, " Lets do this."

I smiled. There's my flock that I love, always ready for an adventure.

Hope you guys liked it! Feedback is greatly appreciated!
