To make this short I'm just going to say I own none of the Maximum Ride stuff. James Patterson does.
Intro: This takes place in Maximum Ride in the Institute for Higher Living. Also it told by the girl with wings Max finds. The story begins with the rescue of the experiments in the Institute.
"Kids shouldn't be kept in cages!" I heard a girl scream. A group of children came to our cages. They were lead by the screaming girl who seemed just my age. But then I understood her concern. I saw a set of wings on her just like mine! All of the other kids had wings too. Each a different size, shape and color.
The kids began to break open our cages. Angels I thought and they have come too rescue us. To take us from the Institute for higher living. To do what I have prayed for them to do for my whole life. I tall, very thin boy who was dressed in black broke open my cage with a loud bang! I pinched myself.
The mysterious boy waved us to follow him. I did without a word. Checking for my neighbors, I quickly fell behind the boy. I found them and carried a very little boy who also had wings. We called him 103. My other neighbor 73 the fish boy carried little 112 the fish girl. Then we bolted to catch up with the tall and thin boy.
None of us had any shoes or real clothes. We just wore these paper dresses. This made running through the sewers very hard. I panted and scooted around the corners as fast as I could. Then I saw it my first glance of the sky.
I could see a light blue dotted with white. There were people. None had wings or gills and looked like scientists. Buildings that seemed to just be playing with the clouds were all around me. There was a light in the blue and white. A big yellow ball floated above. I assumed this was the sky, clouds and sun. I heard stories but never thought it was so grand. I wanted to float along with those clouds.
I asked the boy the only things I could think of. "What is this? Who are you?" I said. The boy gave me an almost smile, smile and said, "This is your new home. I am Fang and the girl is Max." My eyes were wide as plates yet my hand quivered. "Thank you." I said softly. I grabbed my neighbors and we ran.
