Hey People!

I'm new to Fanfiction so i'm not sure how this works. Usually there is a disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not, repeat, do not own any of the Maximum Ride books. At all. Not one little sentence.

There's the disclaimer done. I can tick that off the list.

Hope you guys like it. Please tell me how i could improve. Thanks!

On with the show!

A World of Mutants

Chapter 1

Hi. I'm Max. Short for Maximum Ride. I know, I know, what were my parents thinking right?

But the thing is, it fits. It's different, and I am most definitely different. I just didn't know it yet.

Not until that day, my life was normal, and if I'm honest, boring as hell. I would follow the same routine as thousands of other fourteen-year-olds every single day, and it was not fun. Trust me. You'll have to go through something called 'High School' as well someday. Be prepared to run.

I lived with my so called 'mother' Valencia Martinez. If you didn't know, the reason why I have a different surname to her is because she had me with a man she hardly knew, and he left as soon as I was born. I didn't know who my father was, or what he was like, other than he just did not care for any of us. Or more particularly, me. I kept the name it because it just sounded right, and much better than Maximum Martinez. Too many m's. And I was different to my mother, in more ways than I knew back then. What better way to be different than to have a different name? Whenever I asked her about my father, she would get this blank, dead look in her eyes and just stare at me until I was too uncomfortable to ask her about it again.

Then 'Mom' finally found another lover. Jeb Batchelder. She had Ella with him. Ella is a purebred Martinez, if there can be such thing. She was perfect for them. They were one big happy family until Jeb vanished one day. Poof. Disappeared into thin air. Ella and 'mom' were grief- stricken, but I never liked him anyway. He had been missing for about two years.

Now my 'mom' was way too busy with her job, trying to pay for three mouths by herself and with looking after Ella to care much about me. Not that I minded of course. I was a 'capable young adult 'as I liked to think back then. I covered myself in a joking, untouched kind of attitude. Like I didn't care. I kept myself lively and energetic so I wouldn't have to dwell on things like parents.

Anyway, I guess you didn't come to hear about me. You came to hear about my adventures. So let's get started.

I know, i know, it's short. But i just wanted to see how people would like it. I promise if you like it i'll make the chapters much longer. If i could ask for just one review. One. It would make my day.
