Hey, this is the first story I've ever written on fan fiction, so I'm really excited! I really hope all of you Maximum Ride fans like this story! I don't want to give too much away, but this is yet another adventure about the flock, taking place after Fang left, and also an Iggy love story. Here's the first chapter. J

Note: I don't own Maximum Ride. I only own Hazel and this plot.

Iggy woke up to the sound of screaming.

He jolted upright in bed. His first thought was: The flock. He jumped out of bed and bolted down the stairs.

When he got to the bottom, he froze. Wait, the screaming was coming from outside. And it definitely wasn't anyone from the flock. He should know; he had heard all of them scream plenty of times. But it was definitely the high-pitched screaming of a girl.

What the heck?

"What's going on!" Iggy shouted when he got to the living room.

Everyone was too preoccupied with looking for something to answer him.

Thankfully, Angel sent him a mental picture of what was happening, with him being blind and all, and her being telepathic.

The picture she gave Iggy was of a girl, writhing in agony in the street outside our house, screaming. She had long, jet-black hair, and was wearing blue jeans and a graphic T-shirt.

The next picture she gave him was of the flock and Dr. Martinez running around the house, looking for something. Dr. Martinez finally came out of a closet, carrying her bag of medical equipment. She was rushing out the door to the screaming girl.

What the heck was going on?

Dr. Martinez and Max carried the girl inside. She was no longer screaming, only whimpering in pain. They laid her on the couch.

"This doesn't make any sense," Dr. Martinez murmured, hovering over the girl. "There's no cuts, bruises, or physical marks of any kind."

Max came out of the kitchen with a wet washcloth. She handed it to Dr. Martinez, who began gently wiping it on the girl's face.

"Mom, what if this is a trap?" Max said cautiously. If they had learned anything during their lives, it was that no stranger that showed up to your house screaming could be trusted.

"If it is, then she's just one girl, and we can handle her," Dr. Martinez said calmly. "If it's not, then we can't just leave her out there screaming. We have to help her."

Max hesitated, then sighed. "You're right."

Iggy walked over to the couch and stood next to the arm of the couch, where the girl's head was resting. "Do you know what happened to her?" he asked Dr. Martinez.

"No," she said, puzzled. "There's no sign of any kind of injury."

There was a soft moan. The girl's eyelids fluttered.

"She's waking up," Max whispered.

"Hello?" Dr. Martinez said to the girl. "I'm Doctor Martinez. Can you tell me your name, honey?"

The girl blinked up at her. "H-Hazel. My name's Hazel." She tried to sit up, but Dr. Martinez gently pushed her back down.

"Don't try to sit up just yet." Dr. Martinez said gently. "Do you know what happened to you, Hazel? Why were you screaming?"

Hazel looked around, glancing at each member of the flock. As she looked at each of them, her eyes widened in horror and fear.

She sat up abruptly, clutching at the couch.

"It was you," she whispered. "You were the ones I saw in…" She suddenly snapped her mouth shut, as if realizing she had said too much.

"Saw in what?" Max asked, clearly suspicious.

Hazel hesitated. She took a deep breath. "I have visions." she said slowly. "I realize how crazy that sounds, but please believe me. You have to believe me, because this is very important. I had a vision about you guys."

To everyone in the flock, this was no big surprise. They had seen crazier things. Much crazier things. Besides, Angel, the youngest (and also telepathic) member of the flock, had visions, too. She had had a vision about Fang, before he left, saying he would be the first to die.

They all waited expectantly for Hazel to go on.

She looked around the room slowly, looking them each in the eyes.

"You are all going to die." she said matter-of-factly.
