I do not own Maximum Ride, James Patterson does. All I own are the new characters you don't recognize.

I left with them. Then I left them. They helped me escape and then I went back.

I don't regret the decision I made. I just regret not making a difference.

Prologue:

We had just escaped the School, well more like I just tagged along. By everyone I mean Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge, Angel, Jeb, Lolelle, and me. We were somewhere in Colorado and all of a sudden Jeb was showing us this house and saying that it was going to be our home. Let's just say that the kids were all for it, but it didn't feel right to me. For one reason alone; I left my friends to die at that place we just escaped from.

Now I know your probably wondering, "Escape from where?" All I can say is that you never want to know. If by some chance you go there, which I hope you never will, you'll never be the same again. And I mean literally, never the same, maybe not even human.

Before I get ahead of myself let me finish telling about what happened. Anyways before I even stepped foot in the house I heard something. Let me just tell you that I didn't hear a sound, but a voice in my head. I'm not crazy, it's just a certain..... gift I have. I knew who I heard and I wasn't going to find out what was going to happen to it.

"I'm leaving." I said with such fear and strength in my voice that I didn't know where it came from.

Everyone just stood there facing the E-shaped house, facing away from me. Jeb was the first to find his voice and it sounded like he'd just been punched in the gut. "Why would you want to go back to that place? And after all I've done to get you all out."

It was a little while before I was able to find my voice again but eventually I spoke. "Because you all have your family here, safe, and together. While mine is still at that horrible place, being tortured just like we were. I'm going back for them, whether you like it or not."

I was surprised at his reaction, I honestly thought that he was going to start yelling at me and telling me how stupid I was. He just turned towards me and said, " Go, but we're not coming after you. You've made your choice, now go!"

I mean think about it. If you were only ten what would you do? I turned on my heels and ran into the forest,Lolelle was right behind me, but no one else was. We ran for what seemed like forever, but we weren't tired. We ran on pure adrenaline. We ran like animals...

AN: OK that was just the beginning, so how do you think it'll turn out? Just keep reading and you might just find out.

Don't be mad because this is my very first story on this site, so suggestions and comments are welcome.

And if you hate it? Well sorry but I'm going to keep writing. Review or not, your choice.
