Chapter 1

I Was running through the woods looking for an exit. Nothing. You would think after running for three hours of being chased after blood-thirsty werewolves you would've found something a clearing, sunlight, something. Nope. Oh I Almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Maximum Ride the people I Live with call me Max for short. The people I Live with are 5 kids named Fang 14, Iggy 14, Nudge 11, Gazzy 10, and Angel 6. We're a group of orphans and we all live together because we all have never met our parents. we were taken away to a horrible place called the Academy as soon as we were born. the people at the Academy did lots of experiments on us giving us the ability to fly. Each and every one of us have a special power. most of us haven't unlocked ours yet but, Angel has the ability to read minds and persuade someone to do anything. Iggy had night vision but the people experimented too much and now he can't see. Whoopsie. Also, Gazzy can imitate anything. Angel and Gazzy are the only two that are related.

Now where was i. Oh yes while I Was running I Realized that I Was nearing a cliff so Iran a little faster hoping I Wouldn't collapse of exhaustion. Finally, I Could lift off. Iran and jumped off the cliff focused. unfurled my wings and with a few hard strokes and I Was up about 200 ft. in the air. that's when one of the werewolves brought out a gun. where'd he get that? he pointed at me and shot me in the shoulder. That's when I Woke up gasping. I Checked my shoulder for a gunshot wound. Nothing there good. I Got out of bed and headed to the kitchen. I Heard Gazzy walking in. Gazzy said "what's for breakfast?" I Yelled "Iggy!" Next thing I Know Iggy came in and started to make pancakes. "Thanks." I Said to him. "Welcome." Iggy said flatly.

I Went to wake Nudge and Angel. When I Got in their room Nudge was hardly recognizable without her hair groomed. She always has to have her hair nicely curled and no frizz. I Gave her a few shakes and she tapped me almost like she was trying push my snooze button. After that I Gave a little flick on her head. Finally she got up and headed to the bathroom to clean up. I Headed to Angel's side of the room where she has a curtain to separate her and Nudge. I Opened the curtain and found her all dressed and ready to go. "Angel? Why are you up already?" I Said. "Oh! I Just wanted a head start on the day." She said angelic. So wonderful. "Well let me just fix your hair up." Yep that's me little old emotional Max. Why do I Love Angel so much? Is it because I Pretty much raised her since she was a baby? Or is it because I Just need someone to love on? "I Think it's because I'm just gosh darn cute." Angel said shaking me out of my thoughts,which she was reading.

After, Iggy finished making the pancakes, which we all scarfed down in seconds, Fang came in and asked "Where's my pancakes?" in his sarcastically annoying way of his. "We thought you hated pancakes and that you jumped off a cliff." I Said sarcastically.

"Well if I Did that then there would be no one here to control you. And yes I Do hate pancakes I Prefer waffles." He said egotistically. "well Mr. Picky Pants your waffles are on the counter over there." I Said pointing next to the sink with the pancake part on my fork. he walked over there and brought them to the table. In between bites he asked "So what are the plans for today?" "I Want to go pick some blueberries over at the patch." Angel pleaded "Please! We haven't been over there in forever." "Come on let her go she hasn't gone in forever." Fang said coolly. Ugh why does he always do this to me. "I Guess we can go to the patch today" I Felt like I Was defeated "we'll go once Fang finish cleaning the kitchen." "Aww man we'll never get to go!" Nudge cried. "Hardy har har very funny. By the way it's Max's turn." Fang said pointing to the chart. Ugh. Why did I Ever put that chart up?
