A/N: Hi, its Janxi here. This is my first Fanfic so cut me some slack please, I'm still new at this. I'd really like to see what you think of my story so here's the prologue. Let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of the Characters used so far.

Prologue

Max POV

This is torture! The clock in the front of the room is slowly ticking away the seconds until I can finally leave this horrible place. There's nothing left for me here. I've endured the last three years for my "mother" but now that she's gone I just don't see the point in staying. Not my real mother, of course. No, Mrs. Daniels was just a kind old woman who took care of me and Nudge. Up until she had a heart attack last week.

I plan to meet up with Fang and Angel in Arizona at Dr Martinez's house as soon as I can get out of here, which is – according to the clock – in about 15 minutes.

Dr. Martinez is my real mother. My actual flesh and blood mother. We found her just before we had to split up. She is a vet (yeah, I know. Stop giggling, you at the back!) and she lives in Arizona with my little sister Ella and now also two members of my flock. I still can't get used to the idea of actually having a real family.

"Pssst! Jess!" Man, I hate being called that. We've all been using aliases since the incident with the white coats. We still don't know if they'd given up on us yet but we can't be too sure.

"Jessica!", Nudge was urgently trying to get my attention. We were in a classroom at some small high school somewhere just outside of New Jersey. The room was just like any other classroom with a black board (which was actually green?) and desks et cetera. Nudge loved school but I couldn't stand it here. Just the fact that its called a school already makes me tense.

Now you're probably wondering how Nudge and I are in the same class since there's a major age difference but we weren't quite honest about our ages when we registered here. This school believed we were both fourteen but it worked. Because we were tall for our age, Nudge could look a bit older than she really was and since she's so clever, she can keep up with the learning material almost better than I can – which is sadly not well at all as we never had a proper education before the last three years, lets give a big thanks to the white coats for that.

"What? Can't it wait ten more minutes?", I whispered back to her. I would much rather have this conversation on our way to Arizona, while flying through the clouds and none of these humans can overhear what we say. Maybe the reason I never made any friends here was that I didn't trust any of them. Oh, well, I'd rather be alive than popular.

Something landed on my desk then. Nudge had passed me a note. What could be so important that it couldn't wait till after school? I warily opened the note, afraid of what I might read.

Hey 'Jess', can we have pizza before we leave? PLEASE?

I almost burst out laughing. Of course food is the most important thing to Nudge. I just smiled at her and nodded my head. She practically jumped up and down in her seat. Then the bell rang and we were the first ones out of there.

A/N: Hey guys, This is my very first fanfic so I want to know all your thoughts and suggestions. What did you think about the chapter? Too long? Too short?
This is just the prologue and the actual chapters will be a bit longer but this is a test dive if I don't get reviews I'll assume you don't like the story so if you want to read further, please review so I can know if it's worth continuing.

Also if you have any ideas or requests regarding the story, let me know and I could use them.

Thank you all!

Janxi
