Max's POV
The night was dark and seemed to swallow the stars whole, but the moon was out and the stars guided to that light.
Smiling a little at that thought, I turned to check on my flock. By flock I really mean my family of human avian kids. We had kicked eraser butt and settled in a far enough save as the devils retreated. You're probably reading this going WTF?! Haha… you're missing out.
My family being the flock and I were taken by The School at birth and experimented on. We lived in cages and were fed junk. Days passed by, and we knew nothing but pain and torture. Those monsters with white coats injected God knows what and let fate take over from there. So far, we were the most successful experiment.
Angel's the youngest at 7. She's incredibly sweet and a mind reader. 2 in 1. She's blood related to Gazzy who's 8. Nudge follows at 9. She's a very annoying talker, but like everyone else in the flock she kicks butt. Iggy's 14, but he's blind due to a failed experiment. That didn't matter. He's other senses are so sharp someone could be standing 30 feet away holding their breath and he'd know someone's there. Gazzy and Iggy are best friends and beast at making bombs. Then there's Fang. He's mysterious, dark, and quiet. Rarely, does he ever show emotions with his dark features: dark skin, eyes, and hair. He's 14 and also my best friend. I can read him better then anyone else and he reads me like a book. Finally, me. Hey, I'm Max. I'm 14 and the leader of this flock. My/our goal? Defeat Itex and save the world. Easier said then done.
So, the school gave all 6 of us wings making us 98% human and 2% bird. The only difference is we heal quicker, faster reflex, kick butt, eat more, and we can fly. Jeb, one of the scientists, "kidnapped" us from the school and took care of us. He gave us our life back… and then he left. We were left alone in the world to fend for ourselves and that's exactly what we did. This is the only life we know.
Next lesson: Erasers. They are also mutants except they do no good in this world. Half human and half dogs with tiny wings to even out the battlefield. Goal? To capture us and throw us back into cages. Their leader is also my half brother: Ari. Originally, he was years younger then me and always looking up to me. Now, he looks years older and is always trying to kill me. Yeah, our life sucks, but don't even dare feel bad for us. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Everyone's asleep even Fang. I had first watch and in about 10 minutes would have to wake Fang up for second watch. Someone's got to be alert at all times. Who knows when someone's going to attack?
The 10 minutes were almost up when a loud explosion was heard. Where did it come from? I don't know, but when I looked ahead there were Erasers heading our way.
Welcome to my life.
