Maximum Ride
Chapter One:
I thrashed around in my sleep, restless. The nightmare overcame me dragging me deep into my self-conscious, a place I did not want to visit. Regardless I was sucked in.
Flashback:
I had returned from the forest with sticks and branches. I walked into the camp noticing that everything was quiet and nobody looked at me. I just shrugged assuming they were hungry or cold.
I dropped the sticks into the fire pit, and then turned towards Iggy. Big Mistake.
"Hey Iggs, can you work your magic and provide us with a little fire here?" I asked playfully. He stood up with no emotion on his face. I was taken aback by his attitude. He continued to walk straight up to me and punched me in the face effectively knocking me unconscious.
I woke to the flock crowded around me with sneers painted on all of their faces. I jumped up in surprise.
"What's going on here?" My eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. Fang stepped forward and glared at me with hate in his eyes. I shrunk back from his intense glare and tripped backwards falling on my back.
"We know that you have been leading the erasers here all along." I went to interrupt him but he cut me off. "Just leave we don't need you anymore." With that they turned their backs on me. I stumbled blinded with anger through the trees and took off.
I couldn't fly straight with tears threatening to spill from my red eyes. Finally I gave up on keeping my wings beating and I plummeted through the air, not caring what pain I would end up inflicting on myself. I crashed through the trees violently, the pain in my body nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
Pain shot through my back as it crashed into the hard ground. I passed out, not enough strength physically and mentally to will myself to stay awake.
End Flashback/dream:
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. Honestly, I don't even miss those traitors any more. After I had passed out another mutant found me. His name was Ethan and he lived with his wife Emily, his twin Luke, Luke's wife and Emily's sister Rachael, and his other brother and sister Marcus and Yasmine.
They took me in and treated me as if I was part of the family. Soon after that we took a DNA test and it turned out I was related to them. So basically I found my real family and am now living happily without the flock. It's been three years since they kicked me out, but I couldn't be happier.
