ok so i hope that people know BOTH (yes there are two) versions of the flocks. When the Wind Blows and The Lake House were James patterson's first verison of the Maximum Ride stories (at least it makes more sense). Basically in When The Wind Blows, an eleven year old girl, named Maximum, escapes from a place where she is experimented on (yes its called The School) , and given wings. she escapes and finds Frannie O'Neil, a vet in Colorado, and Kit Harrison, a FBI agent under suspension. They then have to rescue her friends, who also have wings (although they arent called the flock yet): Ozymandias, Icarus (both Max's age) Mathew (Max's little brother: nine years), Peter and Wendy (twins: four years). Icarus is Blind from the school (sound fimilar? *caugh* Iggy *caugh*) Oz is Max's second-in-command (Fang) and the other three are the babies.
Now heres where things get a little different. In The Lake House, Max and her "Flock" have to go through a court case so they can live with Fran and Kit instead of their biological parents. Fran and Kit lose. But The Hosptial (part of the school) attacks Max and the Flock so they go back to Fran and find Kit. Max and Oz fall in love and have sex (its just a damn word, so get over it!) right before the Hosptial come and kills Oz (which made me cry), and capture the rest of them. They escape, and go to live with Fran and Kit. Then Max lays eggs, as in she has Oz's babies (a boy named Ozymandias, after his father, and a girl named Jane, after Francis Jane, the vet.). Then the story ends and the readers are left to wonder what happens to them, while reading the newer verson, the Maximum Ride Series.
in that case (being that Max is 13 when she has her kids, and thats in the 1990's), Max's kids would be just about the same age as Maximum Ride is. so i thought it would be cool if the flocks met eachother, and teamed up to stop the school. i'll try my best but i dont know if i'll be able to finish it.
BTW peoples, you should read When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, not EVERYTHING about the two stories are the same, but its very similar and you can see how much James Patterson's writing changed between those two series about the same thing.
Ok, so my introduction is over now, and i hope you like my story! i'll TRY to update every week if i can... i also have my own stories to write too ;)
