First Meeting Max P.O.V.

I was crying as I landed in a forest somewhere in California. I just couldn't believe that the Flock would just kick me out like that! I mean, yes, I've been giving Fang more attention than usual but he was my...um...boyfriend?...yeah, my boyfriend! I wasn't giving him that much attention.

Was I?

SNAP! My head whipped towards the sound of the snap, eye's narrowed as I slipped into the shadows, crying session over and forgotten for the time being.

I watched as 2 guys came forward. Most likely twins. They had claws, and red glowing eyes as well as canines. If they were made by the school, I didn't want to know.

I watched as they moved on, quietly growling. As soon as I couldn't hear them anymore, I went in the other direction, keeping my sense's high. Well, until I heard talking. Then I jumped into the trees and moved till I saw 3 males. One was sort of lanky with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. The other was a mix of lanky and muscular with brown hair and brown eyes. The last was the best looking so far. Black hair, green eyes, and muscular, with a slight scruff that actually looks good on him. I started listening in when another guy, older with light brown hair with blue eyes joined.

"Where's the last place you saw them? You're tracking them by print?"

Lanky Guy spoke. "Trying to."

"Well then you've been wasting your time. There's only one creature on earth who can visibly track footprints, and that's man. And if you're not trained like me, you have no idea that this print's Boyd's and and these-"

"Are Cora's."

That's when I jumped down. "No, they're yours."

Everyone head whipped towards me.

Green eye's spoke, voice "threatening."

"Who are you."

I smirked. "I'm someone who can help you."

"And why should we trust you?"

I raised my eyebrows. "I'm not asking you to trust me. Are you looking for a black boy and a white girl?" Older guy nodded. I pointed in a direction. "They went that way."

Brown eye's spoke. "Why should we listen to you?" I sighed.

"If you're science experiments then you would know who I am." they all looked confused. I grew suspicious. No one is what they are unless they were experimented on.

Green eye's spoke. "What do you mean science experiments?" my face grew pale. Dang it!

I spoke quickly. "Never mind that. This Boyd and Cora went that way. You'd have an easier time finding them with me."

Lanky guy spoke. "Why should we listen to you." I raised a brow.

I had a flashback to the Flock, them saying that they practically don't trust me and winced. What the heck, it's not like I have anything to lose any way.

"Do you want to find that out? Or do you want to find these Boyd and Cora people?" They looked at each other when older guy spoke.

"I'm Chris Argent, but call me Chris, this is Derek, Scott and Isaac." Derek and Isaac threw him a glare.

"I'd like to say nice to meet you, but I can't." I whipped out my wings and they all gasped.

"I'll find your Boyd and Cora this way. I can see higher up there." and I took off, looking for them, finding them in the east towards some high school.

I landed back down and pointed where I saw them and they all nodded.

I shut the door quickly as Scott and Derek got out, locking it as Derek helped me keep it shut when the rattling stopped.

"Did that really just work?" Scott asked.

"It worked." Said Derek. "What are you hearing?"

"Heartbeats."

"Both of 'em?"

"Actually, 3 of them." Mine and Derek's heads snapped towards his.

Derek moved towards the door.

"What are you doing?" Scott asked.

"Close the door behind me and keep it shut."

"You go in there alone, and you're either gonna kill them, or they kill you."

"That's why I'm going alone."

I frowned at Derek. "That's is suicide." Derek just looked at me and gave a very small smile.

As soon as he had that door open, I grabbed his shirt jerking him back taking him by surprise. "Sorry Derek, but I won't let you die because you feel guilty and responsible." and I quickly went in and shut the door behind me ignoring their shouts.

I moved forward silently, listening for Cora and Boyd. I found them advancing on some poor woman, who I got bad feelings about. As they went to attack, I knocked them out of the way. I looked at the "teacher" as she quickly closed the gate and backed away, eye's holding fear.

I looked at Cora and Boyd, analyzing them. I dodged most of their attacks, but they ended up clawing the crap out of my stomach. At this point I had a pretty dang good hold of their necks as they slashed at me over and over again. After what felt like days, they stopped and fell to the ground unconscious. I was on my knees when Scott, Isaac and Derek came in.

I spoke lowly, knowing they could hear me. "Get these two out of here. I'll take care of the teacher."

"I'll help you out." said Derek.

"No!" I glared at him, getting up to my feet standing proudly. "You help Isaac and Scott." as he went to argue I cut him off. "If you don't, I'll leave town tonight and I won't explain anything." that made him go quiet, thinking. Finally he nodded and they left.

I made my way slowly to the teacher, 'till I finally stood before her. I looked at her as she looked at me with fear in her eye's, but there was something there, something hidden.

I held out my hand to her, and she hesitantly accepted. We made our way out and after I made sure she was okay, I went back to Derek, Chris, Scott, Isaac and some guy I didn't see before (who I found out was named Peter afterwards) and they all looked at me.

I took in a deep breath. "My name, is Maximum Ride."

Hey guys. I know, I know. Another story when you haven't finished the others? I'm having a little trouble thinking of new chapters for the others except for my Hobbit story. I promise I'll be updating at least once or twice a week when school let's out. Love ya'll.

Peace Out,

Fly On,

Chocolate,
