Hey guys, this is a new story i've been writing and I hope you like it! Enjoy ~KaylaAnonymous~ P.S I don't own Maximum Ride, if I did I would drop Dylan in a giant pool of toxic waste.


In my opinion, there are two things that you can do while running for your life- one is keep running until you absolutely can't- and the other was stop and fight. Unfortunately right now, we didn't have a choice.

By we, I mean me and my best friend Swift. Swift and I were created by evil scientists at a place called the School, by combining human and avian DNA. But something went wrong after the testing and we were forced to evacuate the premises immediantly.

Now here we are, a month later, being hunted down by erasers. No, not those little nubs on the bottom of your pencil that you use for getting rid of mistakes.

I'm talking about Erasers. Ninety-eight percent human and two percent lupus. (a.k.a Wolf) They can't control there angry, and had razor-sharp teeth, ideal for ripping apart the flesh of anyone that stands in there way of what they want and right now, that was us.

Swift and I we're out of breath and out of time. We stopped running and looked around, all of the erasers were fully-morphed and had surrounded us. We had to think on our feet, stay one step ahead at all times.

Swift and I stood back-to-back trying to think of a plan. But, when I felt Swift tense up, I knew we wouldn't think of one until it was too late. The erasers eyed us carefully as they started to close in.

We held our ground and didn't let our fear show. Because if we did; the erasers will have complete domainance over us. But as they got closer, I accidently took a step back pushing Swift a closer to the erasers in front of her.

I heard a shriek of pain. I whipped around to face Swift. She was being pulled, by her hair, towards the hummer that was parked about 75 feet away.

"NO!" I screamed grabbing onto her arm attempting to pull her back, but it was no use. We we're out numbered.

An eraser from behind me clutched onto my sides and gave a hard yank making me release Swift's arm. And just like that she was gone. They tied her up and threw her in the back of the hummer, then they all came back for me.

I was the leader. I was the strongest and oldest. The erasers knew that, that's why they took Swift first. I grasped onto the erasers arm, that was holding me, and squeezed as hard as I could. Blood tricked from the gashes I left in his arm, as he shouted in pain letting me go.

"Wait!" An eraser growled. The rest of them immediantly froze. I could hear Swift's screams as she squirmed around trying to break loose. "Zelda, it's so nice to see you again." The man who was talking stepped out into the open. My jaw dropped, it wasn't an eraser at all; It was Jeb.

Jeb was a scientist that had raised me while I was in the school. He had been the closest thing i've ever had to a father. But, I had lost all respect for him when he had killed a different member of my flock, her name was Bailey.

"What do you want?" I asked glaring.

He shook it off.

"Bring her in" he said. Obviously my response didn't please him. But then again when did I start living to please him?

I gritted my teeth. "Bring it."

I took the erasers down easily one-by-one until there were only three remaining. That's when they brought out the heavy machinery. Ak74's.

I looked over at Swift again. They had covered her up with a tarp, but she occationally kicked the tarp signalling me that she was fine.

This was it. I thought. It was now or never.

I made a break for the hummer running and slidding underneath the erasers legs and diving behind the vehicle before any speeding bullets could hit me. I heard erasers yell and Jeb giving orders, but all I was focusing on was getting Swift and me to safty.

I yanked the tarp of and grabbed onto Swifts shoulders, with her still tied up, I jumped into the air beating my wings fast and hard.

Note to the readers: Flying is easy, but when your holding someone heavier then you, it tends to slow you down.

"They're getting away!" I heard an eraser yell.

"Get the chopper!" another said as they rushed deeper into the forest. You've got to be kidding me right? A FREAKIN' Chopper? I untied Swift as fast as I could while trying to stay in the air (harder then you think).

The sound of the propellers on the helicopter got louder and the wind began to pick up. My eyes widened as did Swift's. We looked at eachother then looked back simultaneously.

They were gaining on us.

Now, when I say 'gaining' I mean our feet were basically touching the front of the helicopter and the propellers nearly cutting our wings.

"Dive!" I ordered.

We both tucked our wings in and dive bombed, dropping to the ground like two suicide bombers, lucky we didn't have bombs strapped to us. The helicopter could follow us down if they wanted it to; but after the time it takes them to land it, We'd already be to far away for them to ever catch up. Okay, hold up. I understand that they're after us because they want us back at the school. Which is never going to happen, But if it does, what are they going to do to us? Better yet, How where we going to escape?
