Ok two things. First sorry I have taken so long to create this and two I own nothing.

So in case you aren't caught up on my latest adventures, my name is Maximum Ride. I am 98% human and 2% avian (which means bird for those of you who don't have a dictionary in front of you). When I was younger, the Flock (Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel) escaped the lab where we were raised, if you called it that, with some help from my good for nothin' father, Jeb. So we took down the School (the lab we were "raised" in) and found Total, Angel's talking, flying dog. We found out that the School was just one of many, so we moved on and destroyed the main player, Itex. Then we tried to settle down but turns out a lot more people wanted us. We ran. In one of the many cities we stopped in, we found a very interesting trio of women in San Francisco. Turns out they were witches. And I don't mean replace the w with a b. I mean spells and potions witches. Anyway, we started to feel safe there. Fang and I developed our relationship a little more. Then the pesky universe decided to ruin it. My older brother showed up. Not Ari, he's dead. No his name is Sokai. Apparently Mom and Jeb had him a couple of years before me and when he was seven he was kidnapped. Then the School showed up and I had to fake my death and leave behind the man I loved and the family I always had.

I flew to the temple Sokai had told me about. So I have two brothers now. One's dead and the other just helped me plan my death. It had to be done though. The Flock has to be safe. When I finally got to the darn place, Sokai was sitting in the middle of the room.

"Hello sister," he said.

"Hey bro," I scowled.

He motioned for me to sit. I didn't. I mean after all I am me.

"How's the Flock," I asked anxiously.

"Your boyfriend wasn't very happy with me and told me to get away from his Flock," Sokai smirked.

Good, at least Fang could take over.

"Why can't I do all the cool things you can," I asked.

"Because Guardians aren't created through family lines. They are randomly selected but the universe," Sokai grinned.

I frowned.

"Look, it's safer that you're not a Guardian, believe me," he reassured me.

I rolled my eyes at him. Come on, seriously, Angel could read minds and control them, Gazzy could imitate voices, Iggy could see when there was a pure white background and feel colors and know people by their fingerprints and cook a mean meal while being blind, Nudge could access any computer just by touching it, and Fang could blend into any background. All I could do was fly really fast and hear a voice in my head.

"Alright let's go get some grub," Sokai grinned.

He stood and motioned for me to follow him. We walked out of the temple and through a city that I don't want or care to know the name of. Lights danced off of buildings. Smells of cooked food filled the air. Sokai grinned and pulled me through the crowd. I felt eyes on my back and turned my head slightly. A man in all black watched us. I moved to tap Sokai's shoulder and alert him to the creepy dude but he already looked like he knew.

"Don't make it look like you know he's there," he hissed.

I kept walking and allowed Sokai to lead me through the maze of streets. We turned down an ally and began running to the other side but skidded to a stop when a group of the guys in black stepped in from the other side. Sokai turned but froze. The creeper from before was back. I gripped Sokai's arm and allowed my wings to unfurl. I pulled Sokai up and shot into the air. Ok, so I don't have cool powers like my brother but I can fly and he can't.

"You ok," he asked, once we were safely on a roof.

I nodded.

"I wish they would just leave me alone," Sokai announced.

"Me too," I muttered because I was sick of having to run all the time.

"I have an idea but you're not going to like it," he shot a glance at me.

"Why," I demanded.

"Because it means you'll have to come out of hiding and bring your flock here," he stated meekly.

"WHAT!" I shouted.

"Look they're the only ones I know who could help bring down the Trackers," he flinched.

I fumed a little bit more but I caved and we began to make plans to return to San Francisco and get the Flock. Oh boy, Fang was going to be mad. Then again he was pretty hot when he was mad.

We set out at day break the next morning. I wanted to fly but Sokai my ever- "protective" brother would rather drive, so we "borrowed" a green Mustang and began our adventure. I fidgeted the whole way there. Once there I looked for the Manor. I ran to the door when we got there. I pounded on the door until someone unlocked it and opened it to reveal…Fang.
