CHAPTER 1 (Revised)
A/N Thank you for taking a chance to read this and please review when you are done. I do not own Maximum Ride. Enjoy!
Bang! I run as a tree explodes to my right. I randomly think of The Hunger Games and the gamemakers trying to get Katniss to Cato's clan of doom. I then think of a parody that my friend thought of where Katniss is running toward flaming hot chicken wings and also to Cato's clan of doom. I stop running and burst out laughing. My friend reminds me, "What are you doing moron? Get in the air!"
Oh ya, did I mention I have wings? That's what my friend means by "Get in the air!" That would be Ellie. She has layer of feathers brown locks with red streaks running through her hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and dark brown Peregrine Falcon wings. Ellie is strong opinioned and a leader to me. If you are wondering, I am April. I have straight blonde hair, electric fire blue eyes, and white Gyrfalcon wings with light brown secondary feathers.
We are running from Erasers who Ellie thinks just exploded a tree. By Erasers I mean evil wolf-humans, not pink pencil-ends. We aren't really running though, as I said, we have wings so we are flying. We got wings because our DNA was grafted with bird DNA when we were babies by this place called the School. The School created Erasers too, ha, pun intended. Also, Ellie got some wolf DNA mixed in her because, what I am assuming, is they had Eraser's wolf DNA next to the bird DNA and a drop of wolf DNA accidentally got into Ellie. I am assuming the same thing about me except instead of wolf DNA I got some human DNA. Ha, just kidding, I was always human until those stupid people from the School, which we call whitecoats, decided that I needed some bird DNA too.
Now that you know about us, back to our situation. We weren't running from Erasers in the first place, but Ellie figures that the explosion was from them. A special treat along with the bird DNA is that I also have a knack for guessing things, like guessing how Ellie got wolf DNA. 90% of the time I am right. Right now I have a feeling that the explosion was not from Erasers, they usually don't explode trees. Erasers usually explode the ground around us, because their aim is not so precise and we are super fast, letting the ground around us explode instead of us, like they originally intended.
"Ellie, I don't think that was an Eraser, you hear anything?" I ask my friend. Ellie has extra high-quality hearing, since she has wolf and bird DNA. I just have high-quality hearing since I just have bird DNA. "Voices of about, I am guessing, three people." Ellie replies after listening carefully. "So that means seven, right?" I reply, like I said, I am the one that's good at guessing things, not Ellie. Ellie sighs and nods. I follow her to the voices.
"That was totally awesome." One voice says.
"We should have added some more baking soda though." Another voice replies.
"Baking soda doesn't do anything though."
"It makes it look even more awesome."
"That doesn't matter, I can't even see it." Voice one whines.
That implies that one of them is blind. This means that if we get into a fight with them I can trick the blind one with silence. I peer through the branches of the trees and count six people with a dog. I was wrong, only six voices. Ellie gives me a smug look that means that I was wrong; at least she didn't win.
"Will you two shut up about your bombs so we can just go get some good food?" I am about to laugh because that sounds like something Ellie would say when I realize that it was the dog who spoke. Shock and then happiness rolls across my face. "I was right!" I yell at the top of my lungs. Ellie sticks her tongue out at me since I won and then realization crosses her face as she glares at me for screaming at the top of my lungs. I realize what I have done and for a second I stop moving my wings. I start to fall and I pull in my wings before they are torn by the trees while I give a shrill so high pitched that I only think the talking dog and Ellie, well along with every other dog and wolf, heard me. Just before I hit the ground I pull out my wings and glide to the ground.
The six people and the talking dog stare at me, but they have a reason, I mean, I just showed them my wings. Oh great, I just showed them my wings… I better run. I bow and say, "I'll be back every, never." I turn to take off and just as I am jumping into the air I am pulled down and captured, by only two people! It should take all six of them and the dog to be able to even try and hold me down. These people can't be normal.
"What a great show and no, we are not normal."
