This will make more sense if you read the books first.

That's all.

Chapter 1:

Escape Plan Gone Wrong

(Jeb's POV)

Jeb had everything set, the distraction, the combinations. It was the perfect plan. He was freeing the "flock" as he liked to call them, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Today was their day for escape. Jeb new they were suffering and had to be released, his voice told him so. Without Max, the world would fall into ruin. Angel was finally 2, old enough to run on her own, which was crucial. The older kids didn't have time to carry her, if they did, the Erasers might get them.

Jeb was just about to put his plan into action when a voice called to him. "Jeb, Get over here!" Jeb sighed, knowing this could take a while. He would have to execute his plan tomorrow. "Took you long enough," said Antonio, one of his co-workers. "We've got another one for you."

"Another what?" Jeb asked cautiously, praying it wasn't what he thought it was.

"Another bird-kid, of course! What did you think it was, a chicken?"

"Maybe," Jeb muttered. "How old is it?"

"Three months. It's a boy, congrats!" said Antonio sarcastically.

Jeb sighed again. He wouldn't be able to follow through with his plan, he'd have to wait for this boy to grow older, or die. It would be at least another year before they could escape now. It's a good thing he hadn't told the flock about the escape yet, otherwise he would have gotten their hopes up for nothing. Jeb took the baby from Antonio, smiled and said "Thanks." Antonio smiled back and walked away. As soon as Antonio was out of sight, his smile turned into a frown. "Complications, complications." He muttered to himself.

(Antonio's POV)

Antonio smiled back and walked away. Now Jeb wouldn't be able to escape! He had bought all the workers some time before they were shot! Of course, Jeb would try again, so he had to talk to the people in the creation department again. They should be able to "find" a donor to support their cause in less than a year. That should be easy for them. 'Jeb, you will never be able to help them escape', Antonio thought smiling manically.

(Jeb's POV)

About a year latter, the flock had adapted to having Aetos in their group. Jeb was putting the final touches on his revised plan. 'This time, nothing will go wrong,' he thought to himself, 'Nothing can go wrong.'

End Chapter 1.

Author's Notes

This is my first fan fiction! I'm so excited to be writing this! I know the first chapter is short, but I wanted a cliff-hanger! (Sorta? Cut me some slack please.)

Also, the x's are my line breaks. I used to have actual lines, but they disappeared.

I'm not posting the second chapter until I get 5 reviews. It may be setting the bar a bit low, but I don't have high expectations. (Sorry People who want me to have high expectations. Also, if anyone may have noticed, Aetos means eagle in Greek. Yay! I'm teaching you people stuff! : )

Please tell me if you like it! (Review)
