This is my very first story and I kinda don't know what I'm doing! So any advise is welcome and needed! PLEASE review I need help!

I don't own Maximum Ride or any of the characters the amazing James Patterson does!

Max POV

"MAXINE!" That was my nanny kindly waking me up with tea and cookies, just kidding it was actually my evil step-mom Lucy, from hell. She did this every morning at around 5:30 a.m., not joking. Because I was the oldest daughter at the age of 14 in the family it was only proper that she wake me up early then return to sleep while I made breakfast and woke up my siblings.

I have a younger brother Ari who is seven, he is my only "real" sibling. Angelica (Angel) is 6, Herald (Gazzy) is 8 and James (Iggy) is also 14 like me were all adopted by Jeb Batchelder, my biological father and my mother about 5 years ago.

Nicholas (Fang) also 14 and Monique (Nudge) who is 11are both Lucy's biological kids, even though they aren't completely psycho like her. Actually I feel bad for them, at least I get to claim I'm not related to her.

My mother disappeared four years ago, Jeb says that she was sick and had a drinking problem and probably left us, but I never believed him, she loved us. He married Lucy because he thought we needed a mother figure, really he is a scientist and works pretty much all the time so he needed someone to look after us. Lucy only married Jeb because he had money and a lot of it.

I rolled out of bed grabbed some clothes and headed for the shower, as I yelled back " OKAY!"

Twenty minutes late I was scrambling eggs and packing lunches for everyone. Then I headed up stairs, Nudge was already straightening her dark brown hair, her mocha skin even and perfect highlighted by the blue tank top she had on. "Breakfast," I told her and she nodded.

"Angel, honey, time to get up." I said peeking in her room. She was curled up in a mess of blankets and stuffed animals on her bed. Her curly blonde head poked out and she smiled at me.

After Angel was starting to get ready I woke up Ari and Gazzy, Iggy was already awake, having smelt the eggs and probably making some more, because I can't cook at all. Even thought Iggy is blind he is still a much better cook than me don't ask me how but I make sandwiches and thats it.

I got to the door at the end of the hall and didn't bother to knock, I just walked right in. Fang was passed out on his bed a mess of black sheets and pillows. He was wearing black sweats and no shirt. That look suited him. Fang has olive colored skin and no fat, so I could see his muscles along his back. Fang is not buff thought he is actually really thin and tall probably 6'3''. He has black hair that at the moment was tousled and messy.

I walked over to his bed ad poked him, hard in his side. He is very ticklish there. He shot out of bed so fast I barely saw him move and he was suddenly standing on the other side of the room in seconds.

"Max." He said his ice sounded panicked like e had been expecting someone else. Then I saw relief wash over his face before it hardened into his normal mask of emotionlessness, then he looked at me and grinned.

"Fang." I replied and tried to run but only got a few steps before I was tackled onto his bed and being tickled. "Oh please, stop," I panted. When he finally relaxed we were both sprawled out next to each other on his bed gasping for air.

"Let's go," I finally said,"We can't be late for school again." I jumped up and ran downstairs to eat some of Iggy's eggs and get everyone moving towards the bus.

On the bus ride to school Ari and Angel sat next to me and played patty-cake. Iggy ad Nudge sat behind us and talked about some party coming up next week. Fang sat with Gazzy and talked about a video game that was coming out next week, but Fang looked distracted and sad, he saw me watching him and instantly his expression hardened again. The bus ride went by quick and then we were at school all heading to different classes. Because Sultex is such a small town in Illinois there was only one school that had kids from Kindergarden to twelfth grade. Fang and I have the same first class though so we walked together.

He was being more distant than usual and he looked worried, that bothered me. "Whats up?" I asked and he knew I was't just making small talk.

"We need to get to History we're gonna be late," he said casually and walked off ahead of me. I jogged and kept up with him, but the first bell rang and the hallway emptied except for us. He stopped trying to get away and turned to look at me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked seriously.

"I don't want to talk about it." He tried to walk away but I pushed him up against a locker and that took him y surprise, but he could have easily overpowered me and got away. Instead he stood there and looked surprised.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Pretty please," I said sweetly as i pushed him harder against the locker. Now our faces were only inches apart.

"You better not laugh."

"I swear I won't laugh." I mocked him putting my hand on my heart.

"Well last night I had a dream." I couldn't help yes from snickering. He glared pushed me off of him and started to walk away.

"No wait, sorry I won't laugh!"He turned around and I caught up with him. " Please, go on what was it about?"

"Well I don't remember much but we had wings, by we I mean Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, Iggy, Me and you. Ari did to but his were different and he was older sort of, like an adult but almost like a dog." He looked very serious. "Ari wasn't on our side he was a bad guy, him and these other guy including Jeb they had put wings on us and were using us like lab rats." He was looking out a window avoiding eye contact. "But we escaped and we were on the run, they tried to kill you, kill us." He looked at me and met my gaze. "We could fly, Max."
