Maximum Ride: A story hasn't yet to be told!
My wings fluttered through a hurricane wind that had displayed far beyond South Florida. I had remembered a lot of things, all the injections of abilities, the mad scientists that really stood outside the box calling me a weapon at times and a demon at others. My name is Ashlee, and when I said that I had wings I certainly meant it. The evil scientists are the demons in my world; I don't even know my family or even if I have one! Sighing I flapped my wings harder looking out with my vision seeing things miles away, that's when I noticed planes hurdling towards where I am flying, their jets were going two hundred miles an hour. My breathing stopped as I grew cold with strength clenching my jacket I stood in the air only feeling a couple of drops of rain and hearing the flapping of my dark black wings. The jets came closer with my eyes scrunched together in anger. Focusing on the propellers, I had minutes until it crashed into my body so I have to focus! My mind was in a tragic headache but my eyes still glanced at the wings with seconds to spare. Suddenly my mind had finally succeeded, the propellers stopped turning and devoured into dust flowing freely down towards the ocean. One of my abilities was to disintegrate things to my energy, an ability that has grown on me except the transformation was crucial that my mind stutters when I am near the memory. Smiling from success I cleared through the sky making it to California by 4am, which is a new record in my book since I can fly really fast. Yawning I landed through a building window into a vacant hotel room. My eyes were so heavy that I was full of relief once I had lain onto the surprisingly comfy mattress. I never really slept on a mattress because I was either inside a dog crate but I had mastered getting out of that always trying to escape was always the top of my To do list. Any way I also was strapped to a metal bed that somehow was always as freezing like ice down my spine. Finally my mind turned to a generation of dreams except my dreams always haunt my heart. I dreamt of me back at the Institute and I had just got the recent injection the one I had remembered the most, it was the ability to read minds. After the injection my head rested onto the metal bed since it was a while after I had slept. Suddenly my heart started pounding through my chest. My mind had developed a head ache and my adrenaline had succeeded past the max of my body. Quickly the scientists had rushed into the room yelling at myself to grow calm. Finally I had focused onto the scientists dark eyes and clenched his lap coat. My eyes grew dark into his soul and after a minute or two of scientists trying to drag my mind away from the scientist's soul; he had disintegrated and was the first murder I had ever encountered. His thoughts and memories fluttered through my mind he was a scientist with two kids who now had lost hope of their father now dead through my mind. I had woken up once my memory stood of my disintegration of the evil scientists and that's when I noticed my setting has changed. I was no longer inside the vacant hotel room but I stood in a cage which my fear had progressed. Under my feet were pounds of hay. My eyes had grew anger and that's when I noticed my fear still stood as I was in a Jerk de Soleil with crowds of people laughing at my presence. Suddenly a man came into the cage watching my every move. My jacket was gone and people continued to see my large dark wings that I had tried to fold up near my back. However the man stroked his brown haired beard and suddenly stomped over the hay and grabbed my arm and had used a metal baseball bat to whack at my side over and over again until my wings had stretched out to maximum length. Tears grew near my eyes but I had somehow managed to push them back since I had encountered a lot more crucial things than being beaten with a bat. Bruises started to grow on my body as the man had left receiving his claiming's. The habit of being beaten for two weeks suddenly grew old as I always struggled to fight but I was too weak since the Jerk de Soleil gave me only scraps of food. My head laid on the hay as I inhabited tangled hair which usually was straight as a leveled building but had finally gave up. Glimpsing at the edge of the cage on the other side of the bars was a young girl looking blankly into my eyes. I shook my head trying not to focus to her eyes since I would have killed her. All of the audience had left to see other acts but the little girl still looked at me with glowing blue eyes that would have made me cry except I was strong to not cry at mushy things that I wouldn't really care about. Suddenly I heard a voice inside my mind that almost made me scream. "I will help you get out of here just wait patiently," the voice had explained. Looking at the girl I noticed that she was the one who had sent a mental message. Staring in awe I followed her steps with my advanced raptor vision as I saw her go up to a tall girl who was probably sixteen in age. Trying my hardest I focused on what they were saying and I had noticed that the girl was actually trying to help me escape. After about twenty minutes it grew dark and the man had returned doing another show. My adrenaline had caught me and I had energy when I focused on the man's soul. My eyes burned through brutal images in his mind and the crowd grew anxious of seeing the beating and finally they had left with me prepared to give the man no more of his life. Focusing on his mind I had kept him from screaming since my power is quite painful but I tried to make it silent. My eyes changed its color to dark black and the man's body suddenly disintegrated onto the hay which left me to rest. Noticing my heart since it was beating with adrenaline I finally glimpsed into seeing the little girl again who saw me disintegrate the man and had secretly unlock the cage. Sprinting outside the cage, the girl followed me as I ran harder. Unfolding my wings I used myself running as a head start and flew up into the air. The little girl surprised me since I have noticed that she has wings of her own! Flapping my wings harder I pushed off far in the air since people were shooting at me with large rifles. Luckily they sucked at aiming, focusing on the girl I tried my best to read her mind since it's been a while not using any of my abilities. Images flown through my brain of a huge group of flying bird kids, each one looked different from the rest. More pictures grew inside my mind as I noticed each adventure of her life ended with a fight and a couple of scrapes. The girl had a name and it was Angel she chose her name like the rest of her fellow bird friends. I was astonished I would dare to choose my name but at least the scientists were nice enough to actually give me a name that is far more than weapon and demon. Angel finally aimed to a flat roof building and pointed to the direction I should go. Folding in my wings I dropped quickly to the roof that I actually had to wait a couple of minutes for Angel to reach the roof. Smiling I was so glad to smell the fresh air it was better than smelling hotdogs and other unhealthy cuisines. Noticing the bright lights I saw a small horizon of the Jerk de Soleil. Using my eyes I noticed the bird figures from Angel's mind, they were flying towards me. My heart pounded because this was the first time that I had to trust someone. I hoped that the bird kids weren't spies taking me back to the Institute. However I am great at fighting since the scientists would put me in a courtyard with advance experiments blood thirsty to kill, yet I had disintegrated each and every one since my fighting ends up in killing. Thinking I felt that I was the advance experiment blood thirsty for kill. My arms dropped flat to my side as I figured that I would tone it down with my trusting and actually not push the people I encounter away and or kill them. After a couple of minutes a sturdy figured landed in front of me and his eyes burned into mine. Finally looking away I tried my best to control my powers. "Angel, is this the girl?" The sturdy figure had asked. Angel nodded quickly and smiled happy to meet me whom I was surprised since everyone I know either laughs at me or tries to inject me with unclear specimens. All of the bird kids had landed on the roof which stood next to a tall girl who might have been the leader of their flock. Listening to their mumble I made out what they said which was something about the leader not trusting me. Angel looked at me with wide eyes which made her eyes sparkle. Somehow I managed a slight smile and I stepped forward which made the tall girl uncurl from the group. My eyes gleamed into her soul, trying not to focus hard since that is the key for me to trap her soul and disintegrate it; looking into her mind I saw that she had a tough life of dog crates and fighting these wolf-like experiments. Her name was shown to be Max which is an interesting name to progress to. "Hello, Max you can trust me since I have to learn to trust you," I spoke solemnly not giving any surprises or emotion which the scientists had made me to do. Yes, I have no emotion to anything all I feel is pain; in my mind it seems to be a curse everything to me is painful. Max grew wide eyed since I knew her name. "So you can read minds like Angel. Great!" Max spoke sarcastically. Nodding I scrunched my eyes in anger like I always do with anything that people say. "I can do a lot more than read minds Max just remember that!" I spoke in anger. Max shook her head feeling pleased, I looked at the details in her face, a couple of scars, tangled hair she has been through a lot in sixteen years. "Let's see how you fly," Max explained in anger. Suddenly she unfolded her wings and jumped off the roof and then flew up. "Fine," I spoke solemnly. Unfolding my dark wings the sturdy figure smiled a small crooked smile. Sprinting off the roof I flew harder than Max and she seemed surprised that I flew faster. "You can't take it that I am faster than you!" I yelled back at where Max was trying to fly as fast as I stood. Finally I folded my wings and started to drop past Max and back towards the grey, flat roof. Landing I dusted off my jeans and continued to wait for Max. The sturdy figure crossed his arms in disappointment for Max. Finally Max landed onto the roof with her eyes in impressed. "Okay, your flying is quite impressive," Max admitted. Giving a smirk I crossed my arms knowing that I am better than her when people think she is a warrior and I am better. Max eyes grew to anger and I knew I hit it off having her be angry. Angel stood up and started to introduce everyone. "This is Fang, pointing at the sturdy figure, that's Gazzy and Iggy, pointing to two boys who seemed not that far in age, and this is Nudge and I am Angel which you probably already know," Angel explained smiling. Nodding, Angel smiled a gleaming smile that reminded me of the sun. Pushing back the good thought of Angel I walked to the edge of the building and let my feet dangle. "So, am I a part of your flock or what?" I questioned annoying Max greatly. Fang and Max spoke in unison saying completely different answers with Fang loving the fact of me being in the flock while Max hating the fact since she knows I am better than her. Max's eyes lighten up on anger probably having an idea. "Okay let's have a vote who wants…Wait what's your name?" Max spoke forgetting to ask. "Nice for you to ask my name is Ashlee," I replied in a furious tone. Max scrunched her nose continuing her so called speech, "Okay, who wants Ashlee to be a part of the flock." Glimpsing at everyone that Angel had mentioned each and every hand arose including Fang which I saw that was Max's lover but Max probably hates Fang at the moment since he is agreeing against her. Max held her head low in grief and jumped off the roof and flew away. Everyone else followed her presence and Fang motioned me to come. Finally jumping off the roof we flew past California and towards Arizona as I known from Max's thoughts. Flying up to Max who was trying to connect to my pace she wrinkled her forehead and turned her head away from myself. "Look, I'm sorry how I acted being mean and angry it's the only way I know how to act I don't have any other appearances," I explained. Max sighed loud enough for me to hear which is quiet to others and she finally agreed to our friendship. Making out a small smile I looked ahead with my vision and noticed a figure flew towards us but that surprised me because who can fly at this height. "Someone is coming towards us!" I screamed against the wind. Max looked at me, "I don't see anyone!" Max replied against the blow of the wind. Suddenly I stopped flying forward and stood in motion focusing on the images, after a couple of minutes the image was in rear view and was hurdling fast in anger. "Oh no, it can't be! How did he find us?" Angel yelled in terror. My heart pounded in adrenaline as I clenched my fists and focused on the image. "Who is it?" I screamed. Max looked at me and focused on my eyes which made me turn my head. "His name is Dylan he used to be a member of the flock and had imprinted on me but I refused and then Dr. Gunther-Hagen controlled him to go against the flock so he turned out to be a spy," Max explained quickly. Nodding, Dylan flapped his wings faster towards me which I didn't understand. "Leave me alone!" Max screeched. Dylan's voice made a chill down my back. "Max, I am not here for you! I have direct orders from Dr. Gunther-Hagen!" Dylan exclaimed. My eyes grew wide as I knew he was here for me. Dylan shot forward and knocked a kick into my stomach knocking the air out of my lungs. My eyes grew angry and I focused onto his eyes blocking every kick and punch. Suddenly Dylan clenched his head and started screaming. "Leave me alone and go back where you came from!" I spoke firmly. Suddenly Dylan started to fly away and everyone looked at me in awe. "How did you do that my mind controlling is never that painful?" Angel asked. I looked at her and then glimpsed at the horizon. "I was built to be a weapon and weapons don't show mercy," I replied solemnly. Everyone glanced at me and continued to fly to Arizona. Finally at 6pm we reached a house that Max explained to be her mother's home. I was jealous that she knew her mother but that's when I was confused because no one lived there except for a girl name Ella who was Max's stepsister. After a couple of hours the night seemed silent as I sprawled on the couch watching the TV and flickering channels at times. Drifting to sleep my mind was asleep very lightly that's when I woke up in a blast hearing footsteps creeping up to the couch. Clenching my fists I squinted in the dark and focused on the figure, I could of sworn it was Dylan coming back to succeed his orders. Snapping a kick I heard a cough and the figure turned on the light and it ended up to be Max. "If you wanted to practice fighting you could have just asked!" She screeched. Rubbing my arms I sat back on the couch and turned off the TV to hear complete silence. "I'm sorry that I kicked you," I proclaimed. My hands rested on my knees as I breathed in relief. Max sat next to me with her arm on my shoulders which I quickly shook away I hate mushy moments. "Ashlee, Angel told me your past is brutal but it's okay the Institute will never find you again. I shook my head as I focused on the brown colored rug. "No, they will find me again and stop comforting me I don't need to be comfort!" I protested. Running outside I unfolded my wings and rose towards the sky and tried to touch the moon yet it is held in space. Flying towards a forest I rested on a tree and balanced on a branch, closing my eyes I rested against the trunk and folded my wings against my body giving me warmth. Once I woke up I found myself face to face with Fang on the edge of my branch. Yawning I crouched on the branch fixing my hair. Fang watched my moves and looked into my eyes. "Stop looking into my eyes they are more painful than they look," I spoke turning away. Fang touched my chin and turned my face towards his and kissed me! His soft lips were warm and smooth and my mind turned to anger since I don't know how to feel love. Pushing him away he looked at me blankly but I knew what he thought. "Never kiss me again!" I yelled jumping off the branch and flying back to the house.
