Ok this is my first fanfiction so it might not be the greatest. Don't be afraid to share your opinions. Be brutal. Oh and I dont own maximum ride. James Patterson does.

Alex

I'm out of breath, but I have to keep running. It's very rare for me to be out of breath. I'm the fastest runner I know! Ok I don't know very many people, but still! Ok, what I am trying to say is I am not normal. I can run faster than most cars and can outrun pretty much every living thing on the planet! But the one thing I can't outrun is an airplane. And the school has plenty of those. I had no choice. I jumped up in the air and unfurled my wings. I shot up in the sky like a jet. I could hear the rush of wind in my ears and the sound of howling erasers. Defeated.


I was almost entirely out of fuel. I had no choice but to land. I did an akward running land an nearly tripped myself in the process. I started to weave my way through the trees but stopped short when I smelled something. It was most definitely the smell of roasting marshmallows. I smelled something else. Was it roasting... Pop tarts? I decided to follow my nose and find out.

I manuvered through the trees trying to locate where the smell was coming from. At last I spotted six kids through a clearing in the trees. They were surrounding a small, crude fire, all with their backs to me. I inched closer until I could'nt take it any longer. I was about to call out when a wave of nausea came over me. I staggered and fell to my knees. Then blackness.


Max

Thump!

I whirled around. There was someone lying on the ground. I stood up and took a few steps forward. Fang moved to follow me but I put two fingers behind my back

Wait.

'Its okay max.' the voice remarked

'welcome back' I snapped sarcastically

I walk up to the person that fell. she was caked in mud and grime and looked relatively harmless. I relaxed I motioned for the others then my heart stopped. Poking out of the bottom of her shirt were feathers.
