Disclaimer: I unfortunately and happily (because if you think about it how horrible would it be to have the stress of writing a good sequel to a great series of books) do not own Maximum Ride. I do luckily and horribly (same as before but probably not as much stress) own Star and her flock.
A Faraway Star
Summery
In the first book, 2 caged avian experiments were set free by the flock. This story is not about them, but the main character is someone they look up to. This is the story of Star, an avian human with her own mission: to destroy all the schools, institutes, and Itex. She will accomplish this with the aid of he own special flock.
Prologue
My name is Star, well now it is 'cause before I was known only by a series of numbers that only specified what experiment I was. My mission is to destroy all labs, a.k.a. the "schools, institutes," and of course Itex, like the one located at the Ohio school, trust me you NEVER want to go there. My back-up is five other renegade avian human hybrids. Their names are, from the oldest that is a little younger than me to the youngest, Hex, Ares, Sky, Birdie and Misty. Hex and I are all 16 but we are a few months apart from being the same age. Ares and Sky are both 14 with Ares ahead by about 7 months; don't ask me how I know. Birdie is 13 and Misty is 10. I didn't know any of them until a few months ago so I'm just starting to get used to the idea of being in charge of others instead of just myself. I will tell you that they didn't have any names until I came along, they also didn't have any idea of what to do to survive, then again I what did I know about survival?
Now where was I, oh right the names! Well, Hex usually looks on the down side of things and tends to cause bad luck when he is really mad at someone. Ares likes to battle, like the god of war Mars or more commonly known as Ares, and his wings are pure red, kind of creepy because the color looks like blood. Sky loves to fly and we have to pull her out of the sky sometimes, literally. Birdie, on the other hand likes birds, a lot. She can even talk to them and understand what they are saying, plus the name fits her so well, she sometimes acts more bird than human if I do say so myself. Misty is as pale as the mist and loves flying through the clouds.
Birdie and Misty decided on my name, which at the time I thought was a waste, but it has grew on me. They call me Star because my wings are black as night with tiny white dots that look like stars, and the creepy part is that, and I double checked this one night after they started to call me star, those little dots on my wings that look like "stars" match up to the ones in the night sky, creepy huh? The other reason my name is Star is because I always have to gaze at the stars in the sky before I can rest, I don't know why but I just got to.
Well, let's not get carried away with the story right now, 'cause once I start it will be hard to stop. Also, there is plenty more information I can share with you. Let's start from the somewhat beginning because let's face it, if we start from the beginning then I would have to tell you all about my childhood and blah blah blah. You can sort of get the picture, so let the stars show you your way.
Author's note
Hex and Ares are the only GUYS.
Star, Sky, Birdie and Misty are all GIRLS.
