Declaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride. The book and characters belong to James Paterson. Hope you enjoy the story
I ran as fast as I could, pumping my legs to carry me father away from my prison. To carry me farther away from my nightmares and to hopefully put some distance in between me and my pursuers. I heard nothing except my unsteady breathing and the breaking of leaves and sticks under my feet. But this meant nothing. These new experiments could chase down their prey in a room full of whoopee cautions and noise makers without making a sound. I needed to know if these human demons were still right behind me. But did I dare take the chance of looking back?
I took the chance and looked over my shoulder to see nothing. But that was a mistake that punished me twice. First I fell, on what I have no idea, then I was being push farther into the ground by a big, black boot. My heart speed up and my breathing became rapid. I heard some murmuring but couldn't make out any words until I heard a familiar voice.
"Why did you try running away?" Ann Walker asked as if I was lying on the ground WITH A BOOT ON MY BACK! "I thought you wanted to be strong. We helped you gain that strength and wanted nothing but your loyalty in return. Was that not a fair trade?"
"No!" I spat, trying to knock the giant freak holding me down off my back by kicking him. He didn't move just kicked me in between my bruises wings. I screamed with pain and rage. I looked up at the clear sky. How could it be so clear when it felt like hell right now?
My heart filled with hope. There, in plain view to a trained eye, were six bird kids. Max and her flock, I thought, they are the only ones who have escaped from the School alive. I pulled in all the air my lung could old then screamed. "Help me! Please help me!"
"Quite, you!" A deep growl came from behind me, accompanied by another hard kick between my wings. The last of my air left with a whoosh. I gasped for air and tasted something warm in my mouth. It's blood! I took another deep breathe and screamed. "Help me!"
Not even a minute later the ten ton human demon on my back was forced back. I quickly scattered to my feet, but couldn't stand to long and fell to my knees soon after. I looked up to see a fight between bird kids and human demons. Ann Walker had already ran off in her new sports car. The bird kids were really out numbered, but seemed to be holding their own.
