Max POV: Chapter 1

Ever flown about 2500 feet, dive bombing 80mph for 700 straight, and then unfurling your wings? Yeah…I didn't think so. After all, I, Maximum Ride and my flock, Fang (16), Iggy (16), Nudge (13), the Gasman (10), and my Angel (8) were the only humans that could fly in the world.

When I say fly, I mean WING FLY. Not any of those bulky machines that those wing-nuts made to get up in the air. Those who made us, who we were today, were destroyed.

Itex…and all of its headquarters, that is. We spread the message to stop global warming and all of the other junky stuff that was destroying the world. We also destroyed all of the other experiments that were a threat to the idea of "Save the World". I hoped we were all done and so did my flock.

"Max! I was talking to you! I said,' I'm hungry! Can we go down to eat?'." Nudge complained, saying the overly famous words that all of us heard too much. Not kidding!

"Fine… we can eat but we only have 10 minutes. We all promised to meet my mom at Arizona." I replied rolling my eyes.

"Correction! Our mom." I heard from a strong but quiet voice from behind me. I turned around and found Fang flying behind me, breathing on my neck. At once our eyes locked on each other's. I gave a small smile. He flashed one of those rare smiles at me. My mood brightened immediately and my smile grew wider. My heart warmed just at that handsome face that smiled back at me.

"Max and Fang sitting in a tree…."Nudge and Gazzy sing-songed.

"Lovebirds!!" I heard Iggy mutter followed by a nodding Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Yet I still was WAY too busy looking into the longing eyes of Fang. Longing for what you ask? Well you'd have to ask him. I'd never know.

I blinked, unknowingly. What was happening? It took me a while before I could process what had just happened. When I finally realized what the younger kids had just said, I blushed. Or at least I think I blushed 'cause my face was really hot and probably really red too. I turned and looked over the sky where birds were flying carefree.

'Max….admit it. You loooove him.' My voice taunted me as I stared in to space.

'Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Not you, too!' I exasperated. And no I don't! I didn't think so at least….

"Max! Down here." I heard a voice say from below me. I raised one eyebrow and dropped my head down to find that Fang was the one that had called. He was probably at least 100 feet below.

"Yeah….Hold on. You go first, Fang." I replied. I didn't want any one to see the embarrassed look on my face when they had said what they did. I wanted a chance to wipe it out before they saw me. I watched Fang angle himself downwards and fold his dark black wings in to a dive. I waited until he was down on the ground. And that's when I took off. I angled my wings down wards and dropped as gravity pulled me close to the earth. It was basically the same way Fang did it. The only difference was that I screamed in pain as my head throbbed with images of the future and what it had in store for me.
