I know this chapter is short, but it sets the scene for the entire story so just read and review to get the next chapter!!
Prologue: The Prophecy
Max and Fang stood tied to a tree in the middle of the woods near their Colorado home. No one knew where they were, and no one knew they were missing. Their captor stood in the shadows of another tree, staring at Max and Fang.
"We wouldn't be here if you hadn't suggested that we go for a hike in the woods," Max muttered to Fang. Fang only shrugged.
"What do you want with us?" Fang demanded, trying the break the ropes that braced him against the tree.
"I do not mean you any harm. I am only here to warn you of what is to come," the captor said. The voice was obviously male and oddly familiar. Max suddenly recognized it.
"What do you want with us Jeb?" she spat. Jeb stepped out of the shadows and glared at the avian hybrids he had tied to a tree.
"As I said before, I'm not here to hurt you. You have to trust me."
"Yeah, like that's going to happen," Max mumbled.
"There is another of you, who the scientists never stole away like you were. The scientists at the School are planning to track her down and kill her. That is why I am here. I know her destiny as well as yours, Max, but I can't directly tell you what will happen or less the School will know it was me. This is all I can tell you:
The missing black wings need to be found,
They hold to key to saving the world,
They shall allow the blind to see,
Opposites will attract,
And the world will be saved."
Max and Fang looked at Jeb like he was crazy. "I know it doesn't make sense," Jeb said.
"Is this another test?" Max asked.
"In a way it is. I must go now," Jeb said untying Max and Fang. "I shall see you soon." Without another word, Jeb disappeared. Max and Fang looked at each other and then walked back in the direction of the house, to tell the others about what had just happened.
