"Daddy!" the small child wailed as the man snapped open his wings and flung off the cliff. The child cradled in his arms tried her best to stay calm. She'd flown with daddy before, but they'd never been chased by the fury things.
"Can we out fly them?" the woman flying next to them yelled over the wind. Another child flew in between them.
"We split up. Fang, take your sister and go to the den. Don't come out 'till mommy or daddy come and get you, ok?" the man handed the child in his arms to the other one.
"But Daddy-."
"Go, Fang. No argueing." Fang nodded his head as he folded in his wings, dropping lower to the ground. He payed no attention to his crying four year old sister.
"Shhhh, Tally. Mommy and Daddy are ok, they're gonna come back and get us." the two kids went to the small cave twenty miles from where they left their parents.
"Hello, Birdies." one of the furry things jumped into the cave, followed by ten others. "Your parents are waiting for you. They got hurt so we are taking care of them. Come with us and we will take you to them." Fang shook his head violently.
"No." he took Talon's hand in his. The furry things jumped at them, grabbing Fang first. Talon screamed and tried to fly away but the other ones grabbed her as well.
========================11years later==============
The room is dark. The smell of mold and sweat lingers in the air. Curled in a corner of the room sit's a fifteen year old child, her muscles ach from her day of tests.
"Get up." an eraser said as he opened the door. "Don't have time to sleep." he pulled her up to a standing position. They walked down the white halls 'till they came to a door, which the eraser opened.
"Good morning, Talon. How are you this morning?" Talon glared at the man, Luke, who had spoken. "You look aweful, how about a nice clean bath and some clean clothes. You'll feel better after that." Luke whistled and two nurses came in to the room to escort Talon to the shower room. She'd never been in there before, just walked past it.
"What do you want?" Talon mumbled as she sat across from Luke in her new clothes and clean body.
"Just to be friends. We could use you, you know? I know you and Sam sure get along." Luke replied.
"No."
"Look, kid. You don't have a choice, the Flock is in hiding and we want them out. Maximum Ride is expecting and we want to know how. don't you want to see your bro-." Talon jumped over the tabled tackling Luke to the ground.
"I want NOTHING to do with the Flock, or my brother!" she yelled. Soon erasers were pulling her off of Luke.
"You want to get back at him, I know that. Fight with the erasers and you can." Luke stood dusting himself off.
"Go screw yourself." Talon stomped on an erasers foot causing him to release his grip. She punched the other in the face making him fall to the ground.
"Fine." Luke shot her with a dart, which happened to be a sleeping dart, and Talon fell to the ground joining the eraser.
