[Oh by the way I don't own Maximum Ride, I wish I did, but James Patterson owns the story of Maximum Ride.
Hello and I'm "renovating" my first seven chapters cause' they suck.
Riley Manx is helping me and of course I'm using the help of the fic squad.
Don't be so hard on them they are good reviewers!
Dodger's POV (POV style from now on.)
I came up close to the secretive building. My wings bright white with black and rust coloured streaks flapped almost silently. I circled and dropped onto the roof. An eraser stood, his back to me. I took a huge jump and landed on his shoulders. With a twist of my feet I heard his neck crack and he fell to the ground.I didn't know if he was dead but it didn't matter.
I slipped my laser cutter out of my belt and sliced the lock on the vent door. I squeezed in easily I'm already fifteen but I'm small because of my bird bones. I slid through the creaky metal tunnels. Once or twice I felt like I was almost sucked into the fan. I heard whispers from the white coats probably. I peered through the bars of the vent opening and saw a little girl thatlooked about six or seven she had blond curly hair. She had wings. Could this be one of the bird children?
They carried her out of the room and I listened intently for the footsteps. I squeezed through the vent and the girl was thrown into a cage in the next room. I peered through, the girl was surrounded by other winged kids there was a total of six of them and a little Scottie dog according to my info this was them.
Cutting another lock, I dropped down and stood in front of the cages. They weren't dog crates like I'd seen before but cages with thick metal bars and pad-locks. They all looked at me. A girl, an older one, looked at me. She put all her hatred into one glance.
"If your another white coat I'll get you without leaving my cage!"
I backed up.
"My name is...Dodger. I'm here to get you out of here. I'm not a white coat. I'm a...mutant, like you. It's my job to get you out of here."
Her expression softened but only a little bit. I took out my laser cutter again and sliced all seven cages. They didn't move then I saw why. Their feet, hands, and wings were chained.
"Here...Take this you can slice the chains. It'll burn though."
The oldest girl sliced her hand chains. She grimaced. The chains fell off and red burn marks were around her wrists from the hot metal. She did the rest of her chains and helped the rest of her friends.
"So you going to get us out of here...how?"
"Umm...I have a safe house in New York City. There are other mutants there. It's a place where they can stay as long as they want. Rest up get a fresh start."
The girl paused.
"I don't think so. We've got to go. But umm…" She hesitated. "Thanks. She finished reluctantly."Here's you thing back."
"Please I can help you!" I said desperately.
She crossed her arms and stared at me stubbornly.I sighed, exasperated.
"I can give you food, money, medical care! Anything!" I told her anything that would sway her.
"Please Max." Another boy said. From my reports this was Iggy.
"We'll go." The oldest boy said.
He had dark hair and dark eyes, he was really good looking actually.
"No Fang! You know there will be strings attached! There are always strings!"
The girl called Max clutched her head and closed her eyes.
"My v..voice..Jeb Said we would be safe but..." She said hesitantly.
Voice? All too familiar...
Max still held her arms across her chest. She let her head hang down, she exhaled
"Even if I were to consider it..." She started cautiously.
She took a deep breath and looked at me.
"No strings?" Max asked.
"No strings." I said.
I held out my hand and she looked at me.
Ah, I could tell this was going to be a feel good friendship trusting moment if I only had the back round music..
I could see it, Max would take my hand and say 'I'm Max.' And she'd smile and I'd smile and everyone would smile and we'd go back to the safe house and be friends and...
Max stood up and pushed by me.
"Everyone get your gear together!" She yelled. Max jumped up and started through the vent.
The boy named Fang walked by me and said: "You think you Can get her to trust you?" Fang chuckled and rolled his eyes.
Then the other kids followed without looking at me.
I followed after. This was going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.
I'm so sure I thought to myself sarcastically.
