A/N this is my first real story so it probably won't be very long. I hope ya'll enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride otherwise I would be a very rich person and not living with my parents.
All good things come to an end. Some things I miss more than others. But one of those things changed my life. It changed the view on how I thought. It taught me to love. It came quickly like a tornado and it left just as quickly. It will be remembered by me till the end of my life. It all started that bright spring day. This is my story.
I watch the bird fly from tree to tree, chirping away announcing to the world its whereabouts. How I wish I had wings like a bird. If I had them then I could fly about freely over the evergreen forest. Instead I am trapped inside looking out.
My name is Maximum Ride. Yes, I do so happen to be the daughter of Jebidiah Ride, the king. Most would say being a princess is something they always dreamt of, for me it is the opposite.
You may be thinking, why is she complaining about being royalty. She has everything she needs, food everyday of the week, good food at that, a giant castle to live in servants, why would she want more. Yes, I agree being a lowly serf slaving away for your king and hardly getting enough to eat wouldn't be all that fun. But at least if you were a serf you wouldn't be stuck like me.
What do you mean by stuck, you ask. I'm forced to be inside the heavy, cold, dreary, stone walls day and night. It wasn't always like this. There used to be a time where I could roam the woods on my horse, galloping through whispering pines. I was free and alone. I was myself.
Those sweet summer days drew to an end. On a fateful autumn day a new cycle of my life started all because the Gunter Hagen kingdom attacked. Unfortunately since then I have been ordered, by the king himself, to stay inside. According to my father, if we, any of the royal members, venture outside we will be captured and held hostage along with many other things that will happen to us that I wish not to repeat. Ever since the attack my father has been off at war, I hardly see him anymore. Following orders my mother older sister, Lissa, my younger sister, Angel, and I have faithfully continued to remain inside. These changes bring me to where I am now, the hospital.
I am not the oldest child; therefore I do not inherit the kingdom. Only my older and more perfect sister Lissa along with Dylan her betrothed will gain the land. Because I have no guaranteed riches, I am in training to be a medic. For the training I am in the hospital and help the doctors, I am much like a nurse. Gathered in the spacious hospital room are healers or doctors in training, medics or nurses in training, real doctors, and real medics. Together we work in order to try to save whatever wounded knight enters the door. How badly they are injured ranges some are battered to the point of no hope, others may only be suffering a small wound. Today though I see a knight like no other.
When they wheel him in on a stretcher I gasp in horror. His upper right arm is tightly bandaged protecting the, what I am assuming is a deep gash. His face is torn and scarred. His eyes, which are mostly covered by thick raven black hair, shut tight. And raspy breaths come out of a slit which I identify as his mouth. Off the side of a stretcher dangles a long limp limb. Unlike most people in a condition similar to his I don't feel fear or sympathy for him, instead when I look at him I know we will learn from each other. He will break the steady routine of my life. We will unlock each other's closed door, which is called their heart. He will be mine and I will be his.
A/N This chapter was pretty short. I promise the other chapters will be longer. I hope you enjoyed it! I would absolutely love reviews that would make my day. If you completely hated it please tell me and I will not continue the story. I hope to update this at least once a week but if I don't I am super sorry. Remember you should review!
