A/N: Hi! My first fanfic ever. I'm not sure what I think of it so please R+R.
Bunnygar- She's acting like anyone will read it once my story is published
What are you doing here?
Mantis- (rolls eyes ignoring me) I don't care. Just as long as no one picks on my name
Bunnygar- You are complaining about your name? At least you're actually published!
Mantis- I'm first because you're an annoying little-
Shut up! Mantis get back into the story! Bunnygar, what are you…never mind, I don't want to know what you're doing here.
Anyways, here's chapter one.
Not so Alone
Chapter One
Max's POV
Flying may be exhilarating but after six hours it loses some of its thrill. I could feel myself shaking with hunger. Fang glanced over at me, seeming to ask if we should land. I nodded and called to the rest of the flock, "Let's fly lower and find a place to sleep!"
They obeyed and Fang shifted his bag of food into a better position as he began to circle lower and lower.

I looked around as we landed my paranoid self scanning the landscape. Not the best campsite but at least it was a clearing unlike our last one, which had been in the middle of the woods making it a bit more difficult to take off.
"Max, I'm hungry," Nudge said, "Do we have any food? Or maybe we have to hunt? No I don't wanna. I still don't like to eat meat you know. Let's find a grocery store! But what should we-"
I cut Nudge off. "Nudge? We have food."
"Oh, really? Well what do we have? We really should-"
"Nudge," I said firmly. She looked sheepish.
"Sorry, Max. It's just that sometimes I can't stop myself. Have you ever felt…?" I tuned her out. As she talked I walked around our makeshift fire pit and picked up Fang's bag. I almost dropped it.
"You flew with this for six hours?" I asked him incredulously. He shrugged. I opened the bag and pulled out a can and started opening it with a knife Fang had insisted on purchasing (A/N: Although possible this is extremely hazardous to fingers if you wish to keep them intact). I was about halfway done opening the can what I can now say honestly was a can of beets (why did we get a can of beets?) when a loud crack came from the surrounding woods. We all froze. Adrenalin poured into my veins and Fang and I both turned towards the sound.
Scorpius' POV
"Who ate the last piece of meat?" Tiger whined.
"We haven't had any meat for three days," I replied to the whiny nine year old.
"Kairi," said Cloud from beneath a large pine tree, answering his question as they both ignored me.
"Awwwwww! Man!"
"Can't you just eat something else?" I sighed tiredly. A day after our last run in with the Erasers and they were already complaining. I gave Jaguar a pleading look. He smirked and shook his head, giving me a look that seemed to say 'You can deal with the idiot crew. I'll sit here and laugh.' I rolled my eyes, annoyed. Being
"No. C'mon Scorps! We gotta go hunt some!"
"My name is SCORPIUS! Not Scorps! Not Corpis! Not Cor! SCORPIUS! I don't care if you think it's funny to give me stupid nicknames so shut up!"
"Jeez! No need to yell Corpis."
"SHUT UP!"
"Scorps! Corpis! Scius!"
"All right! We'll go hunting!"
Tiger grinned. "Me'n Cloud will come too," said Kairi who had been listening to it all.
"Count me OUT," said Mantis.
"Awwww! Well isn't that just like you! It's in your name you know," Tiger said.
"What?" Mantis asked, confused.
"Tissy the Sissy. A girly Man. Get it? Man-tis?"
"I'M COMING! ARE YOU HAPPY!" yelled Mantis, now infuriated. Tiger was beaming now. He looked to Jaguar but didn't say anything. I watched him plead with his eyes but he didn't dare say anything. He didn't provoke Jaguar. You see, the last time he did, he spent two weeks abed healing from his injuries. We started into the woods.
30 minutes later
"We're not gonna get anything. I'm going back to camp," Mantis groaned.
"Wait!" I hissed, hearing voices in the clearing through the trees in front of us. But it was too late. He stepped on a branch and it snapped loudly. The voices stopped abruptly. I could feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as I motioned for them to be completely silent. We stood paralyzed for what seemed like hours. Then I heard footsteps.
"Hello?" someone called, "Hello?"
Dragon's POV
Food! Like food! I wild. No know why. Just wild. No memory before. Kali… someone. Head hurts now. No think anymore. Food! Good food!
A/N: I hope you liked it. Please review. I would actually prefer it if people could tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it for the next chapter. You are also probably wondering who Dragon and the rest of the people I added are? Wait and see. Oh yeah…
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride.
CLAIMER: I DO own Scorpius, Jaguar, Mantis, Kairi, Tiger, Cloud, and Dragon
REVIEW! Is it a good story? A bad story?
Until the next chapter,
