A.N. Hey! My first MR fanfic! Well, my first fanfic! Ok, first few chapters were written by my best friend who shares my account, but under my characters name.
-Constructive criticism is welcome!
Enjoy!
This chapter was written by the Real Ginger
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING BUT THE OCs.
Ginger POV
"Hey, Ginger! Check this out!" Fish says, doing a corkscrew, 2 flips, and starts flying upside-down.
"Show off!" I yell back at him, secretly impressed. I probably couldn't do something like that to save my life.
Fish and I aren't your average people. See, we can fly. Yes, FLY. We have other powers, too. Like I call him Fish because he can breath underwater. Also, he can punch through concrete and can tell the future, but not very far ahead, like maybe 2 weeks at the most. I can turn invisible and control any object with my mind. I can help blind people see and I'm also really smart.
Fish and I were created at this lab called the Institute for Higher Living, so we really don't know much about ourselves.
We guessed our age, and according to that prediction, I'm about 15 and so is Fish, since we're twins.
We gave our selves names, too. Mine's Ginger because of my hair and wings. I have red hair with blonde highlights, strawberry-blonde, as I call it. My wings are my best feature, though. They're a deep maroon with gold feathers on the bottom. Fish's wings are pretty sweet, too. His are a deep chocolate color, with black speckles, and hair to match. We're brother and sister, we found out at the school. Our parents think we're dead, though.
We've been traveling who knows where for about a month now, getting as far away from the institute as physically possible.
Once, I thought I saw 6 or 7 kids like us, but I think my mind was playing tricks on me.
Right now, we're at the Grand Canyon. Fish and I are diving in and out of the crack in the place where there's no one to see us. This is probably the most fun I've had since kicking one of those dog things in the face and seeing him actually cry. I mean, seriously, I thought those things were invincible.
Suddenly, I notice 6 giant birds flying straight at us."FISH! GET DOWN!" I yell frantically at my brother. He pulls his wings in a little and lets himself fall until he's out of the path of the birds. I do the same. I land on a ledge on the inside of the canyon and Fish flies over to where I am.
Then, I hear voices.
"I'm fine, Angel. We're all fine." Said a female voice, sounding about my age.
"But what if you weren't fine? It would be all my fault!" Said another voice, this one sounded like a little girl.
"No, it wouldn't." Said a guy's voice, like maybe an 8 year old?
Then Fish flew up. "Who are you guys?"
Then I came up. I saw 6 people. A little blonde girl that looked about 6 and just like a little blonde boy who looked about 8, an African American girl who looked about 13, a guy who looked really dark and mysterious, who looked 15, another guy who was blonde and about 15 and was staring out into space, and a girl who looked 15, who some how seemed really familiar.
"And why are you here?" I add. They just look at each other and say nothing. "Come on, Fish. Let's get out of here." I say when it looked like no one would answer our extremely simple questions.
"Wait, is his name 'Fish'?" says the 8 year old.
"Yeah, why?" I reply.
"That's a weird name. Why's his name Fish?" says the 13 year old.
"'Cause I can breath underwater." Fish says, standing a little taller.
"Oh! So can I!" said the little girl. Then Fish slouches again.
Should we fly out of here now? Are they part of the institute?
"Whoa, you can fly?" says the little girl.
"How did you do that?" I say, really freaked out.
"I can read minds. But can you really fly?" she asks.
Slowly and cautiously, I bring out my wings. Fish does the same. Then the little girl brings out wings of her own. They're pure white, like an angel's wings.
"Okay, will someone please tell me what the heck is going on?" I say, even more freaked out.
"Yeah, I have no clue either." says the tall blonde guy.
"Who are you?" says the tall girl. "Don't worry, we won't bite." I assume she's in charge.
"Well, I might." says a voice. Then a dog popped out of behind the little girl and says
"My name's Total. The little mind reader is Angel, this is her brother, Gazzy, this fashonista right here is Nudge, the blind kid is Iggy, the dark kid is Fang, and this is our flock leader, Maximum Ride." Okay, now I'm really, really extremely freaked out.
"You can call me Max, though." A girl I'm guessing is Maximum, said.
"DID THAT DOG JUST TALK? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Fish yells.
The other kids bring out wings. Then I understand.
"Were you made at the institute for higher living too?" I ask.
"No, we were made at the school." Says Max.
"So, again, who are you?" She looks annoyed.
"Well, as you probably figured out," Fish says, "My name's Fish and this is my sister, Ginger. We have one more member of our flock, though. Her name's Mem. She's trying to find her birth parents."
"Been there, done that." says Iggy. Wow, He's pretty cute.
"Hehehe.." Angel giggles. Oh, crap, forgot she was a mind reader. Why don't you read someone else's mind? I thought at her. Then she looks at Fish and giggles again.
"Mem's supposed to meet us here tomorrow." I say, changing the subject.
Fish turns around and says, "Come on Ginger. Let's get back to camp and get some rest."
I turn around to follow him, but then I start to feel guilty. "Do you guys want to come? I say, turing back around.
"Sure."
"Yeah."
"Yay!"
"Whatever."
"Why not?"
"Thanks!"
"You have food, right?"
They all say at once.
Then Fish pulls me out of there hearing span. "What are you doing? They could be spies! Or something else! We can't trust them!" He whispers.
"What do you want? Signed documents?" I respond. "Just let them stay for one night, so we can figure them out. 'Kay?"
He looks unsure, so I make puppy dog eyes at him.
"Fine. But if they're the least bit off, we're outa there!" he says after a moment of hesitation.
"What are you waiting for? Camp's this way!" I say enthusiastically, taking off.
A.N. What did you think? I'm continuing no matter what but I would love it if people actually liked it! I plan on kidnapping Iggy as a gift to my BFF for writing the first few chapters. Wish me luck!
BTW I have fixed this chapter. All the chapters are being re-edited.
