The End Of Maximum Ride

by Marigold161

This is my first fanfic, so I hope you like it. None of the characters are mine. That honor goes to James Patterson. The idea, however is mine. This is my idea of the eighth and final book to the Maximum Ride series. I hope you enjoy.

1. Prologue

Prologue

The darkness was seeping in, shrouding my thoughts, my memories. No one could save me, not even the boy I loved. I was drowning, drowning in a sea of darkness. Then, a brilliant light hit my eyes, making me blink. The darkness was soon blown away by the overpowering light. I looked about, taking in the surroundings. I was in an arena, a cage enclosing the whole thing. I heard a noise behind me and turned to look. I gasped at the sight of the person standing in front of me. It was Ari! This can't be, Ari was dead. So what was he doing here?

"So Max, it's been a long time. How have you been?" Ari advanced closer to her. "What are you doing here, Ari? You don't exist. Your dead." "Is that what they told you, Max? I am as dead as you are. I was hoping for some fight from you. I guess you'll go down easier than I thought." As Ari came closer, I advanced farther back. "What are you talking about, Ari? You're my brother. I can't hurt you!" I walked farther back, until I could touch the back of the giant cage. There was no room to take off. I was trapped. Why was he doing this? I caught a glimpse of something dark. Fang! He was here to help me! I knew he would come. I looked at Fang, and he looked back at me. Then he turned, and FLEW AWAY! He was leaving me, again. "FANG!" Ari laughed at my pitiful cry. Then he lunged for my throat.
