Okay here's what's up: This is Max, about eight or nine, give or take, but she hasn't left the school yet. In the beginning, she'll start out alone, without the flock (scary thought, huh?) but will meet them as the story goes on. Read the story to find out how it happens! Please tell me what you think about each chapter.

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not, and never will, no matter how cool it'll be, own Maximum Ride. It is James Patterson's, and I'm not going to be a meanie butt and steal it.
Prologue
Adrenaline pumped through my veins as I stumbled through woods, holding my arms up to protect my face from the thorns.
The Eraser voice following me was clear as day when he said, "STOP OR WE WILL KILL YOU!!!" Instead of obeying, I pushed myself harder, my lungs burning for more oxygen.
Suddenly I came to a river, and backpedaled quickly, stopping at the edge of the water. Chills broke out and I was shaking as my eyes widened, staring fearfully at the water.
I turned around, facing the woods, looking back and forth between the woods filled with Erasers and the icy cold uninviting water.
I bit my lip.
On one hand, there was risking being dragged back to the school, most likely including torture for running away in the first place.
On the other, there was jumping into the water when I didn't know how to swim, but it was my only way to escape.
Damn.
I sucked in a breath, closed my eyes, and plunged into the dark, unknown, wet abyss.
And I never got back to the surface before I blacked out.
Welcome to my nightmare.
