I heard leaves rustle behind me. I spun around to find nothing, and breathed in the crisp autumn air. The only air that could make me think I am free. The leaves started to rustle again, indicating someone attempting to sneak up on me, pulling me back to reality. I waited until the crunch of the leaves stopped, then I spun around and caught the punch that would have hit me in the back of my head, knocking me out. I twisted its arm, launched myself in the air, landed behind it, and kicked the back of it knee causing it to fall down. I was quite proud of myself for making that up on the spot. I looked down at the thing that tried to attack me and laughed, kicking it in the face. It wasn't even a real human. It was an Eraser.
"Is this this the best Itex can send after me?" I asked, mockingly.
"Oh, yes. This is just a warning of worse to come. You can still save yourself and surrender, Maximum Ride." After that, he disintegrated.
"Over my dead body." I whispered, as though he could still hear me. I would never go back to that place.
Ok! So after that bit of excitement, I should introduce myself. My name in Maximum Ride, but you can call me Max. I guess you could say that I'm you average avian hybrid teenager. That's right, 98% human and 2% bird. So in normal talk, I have wings, and I'm proud of them. They are white with brown speckles. Oh, and did you know that an evil group of scientist that created me want me back? No? Well, I didn't think so. The white coats work for this wacked up place called Itex. They believe in extreme human evolution. So they somehow got a hold of me as a kid and stuck wings into my back, which, might I add, is extremely painful. I ran away at age 12. I'm 14 now. I am currently on my way to Arizona. Why Arizona? Would you believe me if I said I had a little voice in my head that I talk to and told me to go there? You don't? Well too bad, 'cause I do.
