Chapter 1 - intro

(Max POV)

My name is Max. I am 16 years old, and I have no family and no friends my own age. Why, you ask? Because I am a soldier. I was born (created) in a science lab at a place called the School.

They mixed the DNA of god knows what in with the egg I was born from, and now, I am a superhuman. Well, super-un-human, really. With the help of a good doctor named Damon, I was able to escape when I turned four, not that it did much good, seeing as I was caught again later that year by the US government. Or something like that. Apparently it is abnormal for a four-year old to be able to run faster than a dog. So, when the School heard about me, they came and took me away again, claiming I was the lost child of one of their workers. Whatever.

This time though, Damon wasn't there to help me. For six long years, they taught me the true meaning of hate, pain, hunger and cruelty. Then, one day, with no warning at all, they took me out into a yard and just let me go. I was skeptical at first, but when someone came out carrying a taser, I didn't stop to ask questions.

Well, enough of the back story Now, here I am, working for the most elite military force in the history of man. Oh, and did I mention I was a General? General Maximum Ride. I quite liked the sound of that when the position was offered to me.

I had just come back from Rio, on a mission to take down an arms dealer who was allied with the soviets (god knows how he did that). I had been shot four, five times and was in the hospital. I still don't know why I can't get on a plane with a couple of almost healed wounds. It's not like I've never had worse.

And about the school? For all I know, they're all dead. I haven't seen an Eraser in years. Erasers were like guards in their little prison, Werewolves, I think the humans call them.

Thanks for reading. please R & R!
