Hey guys so this is my first Maximum Ride Fanfic so I hope you like it! This is an in-between book that starts after book two: schools out forever so I'm sorry if stuff that happens in here clashes with what happens in the next book but I love this series so much I just had to start a fanfic now. Anyway hope you like it and please review and let me know what you think. Im okay with critical reviews too.

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride or any of it characters that all goes to the one, the only, James Patterson.

It's not everyday you see a group of flying children tear through the sky. My half-finished strawberry ice cream all of a sudden became irrelevant as not too far off in the distance where 6 flying kids zipping down into the trees.

I looked back at a woman who was playing with a 4-year-old in a stroller. Everyone says she looked just like me. Same big pale green eyes, light freckles and pale skin. The same friendly and calm demeanour and silky medium ash brown hair. That would be normal since she was my mom.

The little kid? My annoying little sister Julianna. She had short, thin hair bunched up in a pink clip and ice cream all over her small puffy face.

After a moment I decided that mom wouldn't mind if I just took a walk. This is a park after all. I headed to where I saw the bird kids fly. After about ten minutes I had come to the conclusion that I was lost. Shit.

What if there were animals like a lion or something… my heartbeat sped up a bit and I found myself tripping over little twigs and rocks. I started to grow anxious and jumped at any noises I heard. Why didn't I join the rainbow cadets when I had the chance?

Then there was ruffling from some collective trees to my right and I held up a stick as my final defence weapon. Then surprisingly, a girl who looked my age pushed out. She had brown eyes and blonde sun-streaked hair.

Immediately she croaked at me, probably not sounding as condescending as she had hoped and I stepped back.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I don't remember having to report to you about my whereabouts," I snapped back. She folded her arms and soon another person popped through the opening the girl left behind. He was in desperate need of a hair cut. His silky black hair hung over his eyes and he brushed them back. I noticed that these kids we're incredibly tall. A team of lost models?

"Who's this?" he turned to the girl.

"Im not sure. She looks human enough and she doesn't give off an Eraser-like aura." Of course I'm human…what else would I be? The girls face loosened but was none the less irritated.

"Um, are you guys lost too?" I interrupted there conversation. They both looked at me.

"You're just lost?" the boy said calmly.

"Well ya."

"Well, I think you can handle this on your own. I'll watch the kids till you get back," he responded nonchalantly then began to retreat back through the tree opening. "Fang, come on-" she breathed out in defeat then glared at him before looking me up and down.

"Okay kid. Let's get you out of here." Then she began ushering me in one direction. Kid? Im fourteen, not four. I trudged through the twigs and dirt angrily. Then I remembered,

"Oh yeah. Did you by any chance see some flying kids around?"

Oh I also like how short each chapter is in Max Ride so I think I'll do that too. So I'll post often and there will be many many chapters...
