Just an idea that I've had bouncing around in my head for a while. I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a shot. It's not going to be a regular crossover, I wanted to put the two ideas of Maximum Ride and Twilight together and create a new story. I hope you guys enjoy. Max and Edward are OOC for the most part.

Pacing. That's all I can really do now is pace. I didn't know if she was going to wake up and honestly I really didn't care. I didn't know her, I had never seen her before and I had my own problems to worry about. I found her on the forest floor, covered in blood. But the thing was, I couldn't smell it; not one drop. That was the only reason that I brought her to my cave, to talk to her when she woke up. When I picked her up, I felt something soft on her back, like feathers. I traced down her back and then the softness was gone, replaced by cold metallic blades. I couldn't understand it, but I would wait until she woke up. As long as I needed to.

So here I was, a vampire, watching over this intriguing creature that I had to find out more about. I heard a soft moan of pain and a rustle of fabric and I knew that she was awake.

I turned around just in time to see the dim sun filtering through the trees right outside of the cave, land right on her. The wild array of her dark auburn hair and sun tanned skin was such a contrast to my honey-blond locks and pale, snow-white skin. Her eyes flashed open and I saw that despite her dark hair and skin, her eyes were the same color as a swimming pool, almost a translucent blue that made me gasp. She shouldn't have heard it if she were a normal human, but her head snapped to the side and she jumped into a crouching position.

What surprised me the most was how fast she had maneuvered to the side wall, wary of her surroundings. No normal human could move that fast. She kept moving slightly towards the opening of the cave when I cut her off; she had followed me with her eyes.

"Where do you think you're going?" I asked with a humorous tone. She gave me a glare that would have stopped my heart cold, if it wasn't already.

"Away from here," and with that being said, she jumped over me while letting her wings extend, and she glided out of the cave. I had been stunned with what I saw and knew that I had to find her before someone else did.

I ran through the forest trying to find her. Her blood didn't have a scent, but her wings did. They smelled like the ocean, which meant that she had been to La Push recently, and I could easily track her through the forest.

I stopped at a tree and saw that she was sitting in it, her wings had changed from feathers to the razor sharp blades again, pointing at me as if I was the enemy. Well to her I was the enemy; I had to convince her otherwise.

"I'm not going to hurt you," I said in my most dazzling voice, "I found you in the forest and I just wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"Liar!" she yelled at me, with so much hatred that the tree shook.

"Okay, I was lying. But aren't you the least bit curious as to how I caught up with you so quickly?" I was trying to pique her interest in me so I could find out more about her.

She gave me a cautious look and her shoulders relaxed a little. A human would not have been able to tell, but I could.

"My name is Edward, what's your name?" I asked in a polite voice.

"I'll make you a deal, Edward," she started. When she yelled at me, I couldn't tell how melodic her voice really was, "If you can catch me, I'll tell you my name. If you can't, then leave me alone. Deal?"

I contemplated for a minuet. She could fly, which was a disadvantage, but she didn't know that her wings wouldn't hurt me.

"What the hell," I thought, "Deal."

She pushed up off the branch of the tree. I thought that she was going to fly away, but she plummeted straight towards me and kicked me in the chest. I got the wind that I didn't need knocked out of me, but other that that I was fine.

Apparently, that was supposed to cause more damage to me because she was just looking at me. She started to fly away again when I grabbed her leg and pulled her to the ground. I pinned her to the ground, holding her wrists in my hands. Her wings were folded under her, so she had to wiggle a little bit against me to get them free. She was feisty and I kinda liked it. When she got her wings free, they turned metal and she went for my wrists, attempting to cut them off. All that could be heard was the sound of metal on granite. But what shocked me was it hurt a little bit, just enough for me to let her go for a spit second. That was all she needed to get from my grasp and take off again.

"What are you?" she asked looking back at me from 60 feet in the air.

"I'm different. I'm like you in a weird sense. We're not natural and we don't fit any mold," I was trying to get her to see that we weren't so different from each other.

She slowly floated back to the ground, still wary of me.

"How do I know I can trust you?" she asked.

"You don't. But if I really wanted to hurt you, I would have while you were sleeping," I told her simply.

"Very reassuring, but I guess you would have. I'm Max and I was created in a lab. That's all I'm going to tell you until I know I can trust you," she said holding out her hand.

"I'm Edward, as you already know, and I'm a vampire," I said while shaking her hand.

Maybe it was because her hand was soft, or that it looked so tan in mine, or that it was about 50 degrees warmer that mine, but I felt a surge of warmth through my lifeless body, and I knew that there was more to this girl that she was saying. And by the wide-eyed expression she had given me, she had come to the same conclusion.
