Switch here with my first chapter of my new fanfic. Came into my head while talking to some people that the author of Maximum Ride never really went into detail of how the flocks life was with Jeb for the two years before he disappeared. So I hope you all like, please review it I'd like to see how I did for my first Fanfic. Switch out.

Hours has passed, hours since we have left the school. Hours since we've been freed of those cages we were forced to live in. No more cages, no more tests, no more whitecoats, erasers, just freedom. Jeb freed us from that place today, me(Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel, and now we were in a black van heading to a safe place. Well Jeb described it as a safe place, but to us anywhere but the school is safe. All of us were sitting in the last two rows, Nudge was holding onto Angel in the back row, being surprisingly quiet, while Gazzy was staring out the window at all the other cars going by. This was the first time we've been outside, first time looking at almost everything, so of course we'll be amazed by practically anything. Fang was in the middle row with me behind the empty passenger seat, doing what? Staring out the window, he looked bored but now and then he would be interested in something passing by. Iggy was between me and Fang, he was moving his hands nervously up and down his legs. I couldn't blame him, we were all in a big metal moving machine that was pretty much one confined space that moved, plus he was blind,well he just recently became blind, and couldn't tell what was going on. I sat right behind Jeb as he drove and he looked nervous.

"Jeb? What's wrong?" Jeb looked up into the rearview mirror at me.

"Oh, nothing's wrong Max. Just thinking about some stuff." I stared at his face in the mirror and then back out the window. It was dark outside, but there was a slight hint of light coming from the distance.

"Where are we going?" I heard Nudge speak up from the back row, her reign of silence couldn't last forever.

"Well, I guess you could call it your new home. You'll all be safe there." I looked out the window noticing that there weren't any cars anymore, there wasn't much of a road anymore either. "Speaking of which, we're here and just in time to see the sun rise." Jeb stopped the car in front of a building and got out, opening the door for us to get out. I got out, holding Iggy's hand as he got out. Fang followed after us, almost getting mowed over by Gazzy, and Jeb took Angel into his hands as Nudge got out. "Well kids welcome home." I looked up at the wooden house that we found out later was in an E shape, it was big and it was ours. "Come over here," Jeb was by the side of the house on a cliff motioning to us. The flock walked over, Iggy still holding onto my hand as we headed towards Jeb. "Welcome to your new home." We stared out over the cliffs as the sun rose. I can say it was probably the most beautiful sight we've all seen.

"What are we looking at?" Iggy spoke up for the first time since we left. I turned my head towards him smiling.

"The sun. It's coming up over the mountains, and it's beautiful."

Switch In again: I forgot to mention that I do not own any of the characters. Switch Out...once again
