Maximum Ride The Beginning

by Elektrik Pixie Dust

Max is only 10. She has never seen daylight, never played with a friend or had the love of a parent. Now that she has found others like her, she is going to break free of the school and lead a life of her own free of the cages, experiments, and pain.

1. Others like me

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Maximum Ride or any of the Characters.(IfI did, the movie would be better than its going to be)I do own the title so don'tJock it. Also... no flaming you evil flamers. I hate you all because you are just like hecklers... yeessh.

Staring out of my crate, I saw others just like me. Three boys and two girls. One was a small girl. Her big blue eyes seemed to pour out of her cage. She was crying. Nothing seemed to be wrong with her that I could see. Nothing seemed to be wrong with me either, at first glance at least. Oh, My name is Max. Maximum Ride. And I'm an experiment. Just like everything else that comes out of this place. Yes this place, this hell called the school, is the only place I have ever known. I have no family, I have no friends, and I have no life. As far as these scientists are considered, I am just experiment number 1544-328. My past is just a blur of bright lights and excruciating pain, tests and dog crates. I've never had a real life. I've never made any human contact except for attacking erasers through my cage and with one of the white coats named Jeb. He is the only one around here that treats me like I'm human and I exist.

I keep looking in front of me and on the shelves beside me to see what the white coats have done to these "experiments". "If your wondering what's wrong with me, there is nothing, except I have wings and can read minds." The little blue eyed one said. Oh, did I mention I have wings? I'm engineered to fly but I have never had the chance to try. "What's your name?" I asked, " I'm number 1583-421" She said. "No, your name." There was a period of silence and I realized she felt no more human than animal. She thought her purpose in life was to go through the endless torture and be experimented on. " None of us have names." The dark one in the corner said, "We've been here long enough that none of us have prior memories to this school. We don't know where we came from or who we were." I felt an amount of rage in me that I had never felt before. How could they do this? We are just as human as they are, just with a little more attitude. " My name is Max, and I know it sounds like something I can't do, but we are all going to get away from here. I promise."
