Fang POV
Flashback
"I am here to collect Maximum Ride," an old man with a long robe, glasses, and a really long beard was here. Why did he want Max? Why didn't he want me to?
"Well you aren't getting her," that was Jeb. Yes! He was going to keep Max here. She was the only thing that made the School bearable. She was like a sister to me.
The man pulled a stick out of his robe pocket and said something like, "petrificus totalus." Jeb went stiff and then fell over. I looked at him as he went and unlocked Max's cage.
"Come with me Maximum," he said.
"What about Fang?" She asked.
"Someone will retrieve him later, he is still needed here. There will be others that will need him to comfort them," then he looked at me, "We will meet again someday, I hope. Remember to protect the others coming."
Then he took her. She was scared of him.
End Flashback
"We still haven't located Maximum," That was Ari. I thought Max was probably dead. We were back in the School. Iggy and I were ten, Nudge eight, Gazzy six and Angel only four.
"Why is this Maximum person so great?" Nudge asked, "I mean they are always talking about her."
"She was the first of us to ever be made," I responded, "This man showed up one night when we were only four and he took her with him. Iggy wasn't there at the time. She didn't want to go without taking me but he said that I was going to protect more of us. I think she was also scared, though she would never admit it. She was sarcastic and always trying to be strong. She never admitted fear or sadness or anything. She would come back from tests that clearly had hurt a lot and she wouldn't shed a single tear."
"Wow," Nudge said, "I wish we knew her."
Then there was an explosion. Some people with sticks came in and unlocked our cages.
"Hi, I'm Tonks, come with me," a girl said, "we need to get you supplies and then to Hogwarts."
Max POV
I remember that night. I wish I knew where Fang was, he was like a brother to me. I guess I have to live with this new family. I was adopted by a magic family. I fit in pretty well I guess. I have wings and they fly on brooms. I was accepted. I would have been Maximum Weasley but they were nice enough to let me name myself Maximum Ride. I was a witch. I had never known that in the school but I knew once Dumbledore told me. I was helping Fred and George practice Quidditch while Ron watched. I was Ron's age and was going to Hogwarts this year for the first time. I couldn't wait. I was still sarcastic and guarded with strangers but these people were like family. I liked practicing Quidditch with Fred and George. It let me stretch my wings.
"Max, Ron," Mrs. Weasley, or as I call her, Mom called, "Your letters are here."
Ron and I ran to Mrs. Weasley. She gave us our letters. "Time to go to Diagon Alley."
Nest chapter will be up soon.
