So, this is my first fanfiction, and I hope you like it.

Added note: I went back and re-edited this chapter, and I'm doing that for all the others too. And just be aware that this fanfic takes place before Fang. So just pretend Fang and Angel didn't happen. Also, for those of you new here, I did write the poem myself.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride.
About a year before I was born, my mother gave birth to another child, a boy. He was earlier than they had anticipated, and there were complications. The doctors told my parents later that he had died shortly after birth.
A year later, they had me. After what had happened to my brother, my parents didn't trust doctors anymore, so I was born at home. As soon as they saw me, they imediately became suspicious.
When I was eleven, they came for me. It was the middle of the night, they kidnapped me- and my parents.
Three years later, I escaped. I'm not sure how I did it. Its kind of a fuzzy blur in my memory, as if my brain is trying to erase the memories of that place.
The moon floats outside the window,
the stars stare and laugh on those below.
No one sees the world as they do!
I remember it was twilight, not yet dawn. The small window in the lab was the only thing marking the passage of time. I'd seen three years worth of sunrises out that window.
A lonely girl in a lonely room,
trapped behind the bars of her captors,
locked up for her differences
fighting to escape.
Like I said, it was twilight. A blurry time of day, where shadows and light melt together. Quite a poetic picture isn't it? Anywho, I remember watching the sky lighten on the otherside on the window, waiting for them to come for me. Because everyone else, all the other experiments, had already been taken.
The moon and the stars are indifferent,
ignoring her pleas for help.
And hadn't come back.
But the sun rises again,
to banish the night,
he is merciful, powerful,
the moon and stars hide
I remember when they finally came for me. When the Eraser tossed my cage in a metal rolling cart, I banged my head.
Then my cage was rolled down a hallway. And thats when my memory gets fuzzy.
There was a crash of metal, a spray of blood that wasn't mine.
The sun sees the girls plight
his heart warmed by her hope,
grants her wings, grants her flight,
an escape, into the sky, with the sun.
Then I was free.
At least, out of my cage. I ran. Another crash, this time glass, and my left hand was bleeding. I think I might have punched though a window, because suddenly, I was falling though air.
So I spread my wings, and flew away.
That's all I remember. I'm glad thats all I remember. That place was bad enough. I have enough memories of that place, thank you very much.
But I can't help thinking of that place once in a while. And what they did to my parents. And possibly, my brother.
But I've never met him. He was gone before I was born. My dad always said he was the reason I'm the way I am. The wings and all.
So now I'm on my own, just trying to survive and stay out of the School. And I'm also looking for my brother, because, quite frankly, I think he's still out there, somewhere.
Added: Here's hoping this revision is a lot better than the first one I had. Please review and let me know what you think. :)
