Witness Protection Program

by independentwriter-137

I witnessed a murder and was put under witness protection. I used to live in California, I used to be a normal kid, I used to be named Maximum Ride. Now I'm in Arizona and called Sydney Peterson and I'm just trying to stay alive. R&R! FAX!

1. Prologue

A/N. So this is basically about Max witnessing a murder and going under witness protection. I hope you like it!

Max POV

I was your average girl. I go to school, do my work and go home. I used to think it was a boring and tedious life but looking back now, boring and tedious looks pretty good.

I guess I should start from the beginning; my name is Maximum Ride or was rather. Now I go by Sydney Peterson. I witnessed a murder and went under witness protection. I got a new name, a new address and a new life. This is my story; let's hope it's a long one.

It all started on a normal Friday night. I was staying late at the library because I had this giant biology test the next day. I glanced at my watch; it was 10:00 so I probably should head home. I gathered my things and left.

The streets were quiet and empty except for the occasional car or people. I looked around me from time to time because the streets were dangerous. I heard a scream come from an ally way and I ran to where it was. Damn my hero complex.

I saw a man pointing a gun at a girl who looked around twenty years old. He pressed the trigger and I saw the girl fall. The guy turned around and saw me, I got a good look at his face, he was blonde with blue eyes. I would never forget that face; he turned the gun at me and I made a run for it.

I ran like my life depended on it, which it did.

I went to the police eventually when I saw the guy at my school. They told me I had to testify against the man because he was a rich guy who would probably walk if I didn't. His name was Dylan Johnson, they told me whether I testified or not he would still come after not only me but my mom and my sister too. Reluctantly, I agreed and went under witness protection.

They moved me to Arizona where I should lay low and not draw attention to myself. They gave me a new name too, Sydney Peterson. So that's basically the beginning of my long and complicated story. If you think I'm in trouble now, wait until you hear the rest.

A/N. So there's the prologue! Review and tell me if I should continue!
