Disclaimer: Even though I wish I did, I do not own any Maximum Ride characters that will appear in this story.

I woke up in a serous daze. Last thing I remember, I was fighting off a bunch of Erasers. If you read the story of our predecessors, you'd know what erasers are, so I'm not going to explain.

By the way, I'm Chance. I basically am the leader of our little group. In the group we have Jill, Quinton, Brandon, Zack, and Adrianna, but we all call her Peace. We are all 13, but born in different months. We're all in cages right now, small food trays filled with some glop on them in our hands. We don't get fed very often, so were not very picky. Zack was almost blind, he had to have some serious contacts that we stole from the scientists.

Jill is a really spunky person, long blonde brown hair, and the sweetest eyes you'll ever look into. (Yes, I've got a thing for her, what of it?), her wings are brown with little bits of black at the tips. I'm more secluded. I don't really trust anyone but my flock, and when I see someone new, I just keep my head low, and im on the heavy side (or fat as people call it). My wings are a darkish purple in the sun, but in the dark their black. Quinton, I have to admit, is gay. But he doesn't really show it, I mean besides the earring, and he has long brown hair with a little bit of blonde in it. His wings are Brown, just brown. Hes about the same size as me, Jill, and Brandon (5'8). Brandon is the biggest pyro you'll ever meet. He can make anything explode. He's got black curly hair, and I swear too god is the spitting image of the Fonz. His wings are a light oarangish color, with white speckles. Adrianna is shorter than us, second only too Zack. She has long blonde hair, and eyes that just cant stay focused on one thing for more than five seconds, and her wings are the color of sand. Zack is the shortest of all, hes only 5"3. But even though hes short, he can kick some ass. He's got longish brown hair, perfectly straight, and is always thinking, and his wings are grey, kind of like a storm cloud.

"Hey guys, I've got an idea!" Said Adrianna. "There's a first." I said sarcastically, getting laughter from my flock. "No, seriously, Brandon do you see those chemicals the idiots left behind?" "Yeah I've been thinking about them, and their seriously explosive. If I can reach them I should be able to make a bomb, and get us out of here." Our cages are lined up 3 on one side, 3 on the other. I was directly across from Brandon, so I used my wings too make a gust that blew the cart over to Brandon's cage. When he got the chemicals, he put a little of each on the lock on his cage. A small explosion happened and he got himself out. He did the same with our cages and soon we were all out thinking of our next move.

"WOOHOO, WE'RE OUT!" Jill exclaimed. I quickly put a hand over her mouth. "Are you trying to get us killed?" I hissed. "Sorry..." she said, making puppy eyes. "Alright, so if we can put those chemicals on that wall we should be able to get right out of here." Zack said squinting at us. Brandon went ahead and threw both chemicals at the wall, causing a big boom. Everyone ducked pulling their wings in to keep schratnel from penetrating their wings. When we got up, we had to look away again because of all the sunlight. When our eyes cleared up I yelled "MAD DASH, GO UP AS SOON AS YOU CAN!"

We all started running, me lacking back a little bit, too make sure no one followed us. When we got outside, I immediately snapped my wings, jumped and flapped like a mad man. I was actually the first one up high. When I noticed, I looked down back at the school. Everything looked just like a big L. Sirens were going everywhere and I could hear erasers down there. Then I noticed that Jill was still trying too get in the air, her wings tired from a recent flight test the scientists did on her. When I saw an eraser jump up and grab her leg, I just snapped. "Everyone get out of here, we'll catch up!" I yelled, making the rest of the flock started to turn to leave. I gained a little altitude and brought my wings against my back. I was diving straight towards the eraser on Jill. When he saw me, he immediately let go of her, and dropped to the ground getting ready for a fight. There wasn't much of a fight though. As Jill was flying away from here I collided with the eraser. I had my hands out first so I was gripping fur, using the eraser as a pillow for my landing. We skidded for probably 50 feet and then stopped. Once I had a chance, I was repeatedly punching him in the face, saying things with every hit. "If-you-ever-touch-her-again-i-will-rip-your-intestines-out-and-force-feed-them-to-you." "Are you sure you won't eat them first fatty?" he spat. Immediately I started forcing his jaw open. I stopped when I heard a snap. I spat on him, and flew toward Jill. "Are you okay?" I asked her. She had a scared look on her face, like, really scared. "What did you do down there?" "Um...I guess I just murdered an eraser..." She started too look like she was about to cry. "Why are you crying?" "Because, I've never seen that side of you. You were really scary. Seeing you let your rage get the better of you." "Hey, it's never gonna happen again, alright? It was just adrenaline of finally escaping that damn place."

When we heard a whistle I looked down. There, on the side of a mountain, was my flock. When we landed Jills eyes were still red from crying. When Adrianna noticed, she had to ask "Why were you crying?" She sobbed and pointed at me. "What the hell did you do to her Chance?" she asked accusingly. I let out a sigh, "I killed an eraser right in front of her..." She slapped me right across the face. "You know how she is with blood!" "Chance, can we talk to you for a minute?" Zack said. "Sure."

We walked a little bit until Brandon finally spoke. "Why did you kill that eraser dude?" "Because he was holding onto her leg, trying to drag her down and kill her!" "Look Chance, we all know how you are. You don't murder for something like that. You would Seriously injure, but not murder!" Quinton said. "He called you fat didn't he?" Zack questioned. "Its weird how you guys can do that, but yeah." "Alright man, just calm down, and go back and apologize to Jill." Quinton said. "Y'know, its weird how you're gay, and you always know what girls want." He gave a weird smile and walked off.

When we got back to our camp spot, I walked over to Jill. She looked up at me with her sad eyes, and suddenly felt terrible. "Look Jill I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kill that eraser. I realize now that it was unnecessary." She sobbed one more time and I pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry." I said one more time. Everyone stared at us weirdly, but it just melted away. After a night's sleep by a camp fire, we left, not knowing where we were going, just flying away from all the pain and memories.

Alright, so I thought this was a good story too put up. Tell me what you think, please R/R! Thanks a lot guys.

Fly on,

Chance
