Hi guys. Heres my first chapter for Maximum Ride. But instead of it being about the bird kids, it's about the last Eraser, Aveline. Hope you enjoy my first ever fan fiction story and sorry it is REALLY short.

Chapter 1

I walked around the city of Canberra, trying to be unnoticed and still make my way through the crowd of stuck-ups. Everyone says, 'go to Australia. People there are nice.' On what planet? I said to myself. I continued down the main street as bikes pushed me to the point that I nearly hit the ground. Looking up into the sky I thought to myself, There are some days I wish I fly into the sky and not feel pain from my over grown wings stitched to my back.

I looked everywhere for a place to sleep. Being the last one of your kind and on the run (really) takes a lot out of you.

Although it has been a week since I broke out of Itex like those mutant bird freaks, it feels like I've been running for months.

I saw a dark alley way and walked straight for it, hoping it would be empty. As I stepped into the shadows, out of site to everyone walking past, I opened my overly-large wings.

I sighed and gathered my surroundings. There was garbage EVERYWHERE.

Looking at my un-natural wings, their black and brown splotches, covering the large soft feathers, I thought how beautiful they really were. Sure they weren't perfect, but they were beautiful all the same. After all, how else would an overly-large 14 year old eraser, be able to escape from death's doorstep.

I spread my wings as far as they could reach, and leapt into the air. Pushing my wings down hard, I started to gain altitude.

I was still getting used to my wings, but I have started to get used to the feeling of constant pain where they had stitched them on. I continued to fly higher into the sky. Now I new why the bird kids never wanted to come back to the 'school'.

I opened my eyes. The 'school'. I never really new why I was so attached to that place. They poked me with needles, they made me into an eraser, and now they're trying to kill me. When anything bad happened, they used to always blame it on me, Aveline, commander of my group. That was until Ari came 'back to life' and I got demoted.

It seems like I am to stay as a complete freak for the rest of my life. On the ground, normal people have families and school and… friends. I wish I had a family and a friend.

I watched as people below me played their strange little games, talking to each other. Even the animals had a friend.

I sighed as I decided to go lower for something to eat. My stomach growled loudly as I reached a pie shop. "2 family pies" I said. The girl serving me looked at me expectantly. "What?" She walked away, mumbling under her breath. When she came back with my pies, cooked and ready to go, I grabbed them and left. I continued walking away as the serving girl called after me. "STOP! You have to pay for that." Before she had time to call the cops, I was already around the corner and into the sky.

Isn't it funny, how people notice pelicans and magpies in the sky, but they don't notice a child flying. I flew only a small way and stopped in a near by park. Sirens of police cars rushed past the park in the direction of the pie shop. Giving myself a grin, I sat at a cement table and listened in on the conversation of the ladies' behind me.

The ladies were talking about their children and grand-children mostly, and other things that I will save you from hearing. Just as I started to eat my second pie, they started to talk about a new plan in Antarctica.

I tried to catch as much of the information as possibly, with out looking to suspicious.

"There's a science base down there…"

"… and I don't see the point when there's nothing there but…"

"…a wasteful desert, if you ask me."

…no one living there? Thoughts ran through my mind. It would be the last place anyone would look for me! I stood up, having finished my pie in one big mouthful; I walked into the shade of the trees. Only one problem… where is Antarctica?

Thanks for reading my story and please tell me what you think. I am just thinking up the next chapter and will hopefully have it up with in the week. Please review and tell me ideas for my next chapter.

Bye
