A/N Sorry, forgot the disclaimer. I'm only gonna do it once for the whole book, so here it is:

Me: Can I have the rights to Maximum Ride?

James Patterson: NO.

Me: Please?

James Patterson: NO!

Me: Can I have the rights to Percy Jackson?

Rick Riordan: NO.

Me: Please?

Rick Riordan: NO!

So now I've pissed off my two favorite authors... and I still don't have the rights to Percy Jackson or Maximum Ride. Awwww!

Chapter Two - A New Friend

Max POV

Percy was back in his cage. He was thrown in here by a couple of Erasers. I could see he was physically shaking- I think he was injected by those bitches.

It's been hours. Percy just woke up.

"Percy!"

"Wha-" he replied.

"How are you? What did those psychopaths so to you?!" I yelled.

"I feel like s***. Those sons of a bitch injected me with avian DNA.

My face went pale. "Wh-wh-what?"

"Ya. Avian DNA. Isn't that what you have?" He asked sheepishly.

"Yep... So, how about those new wings?" I asked, trying to sound perky. He glared at me. I look down at the bottom of my crate, like maybe there was something there that was more interesting. There wasn't. "So, are you another one of us?"

"I guess so." Percy replied. He turned around. He took his shirt off. I gasped. He had green wings with black and teal tips on his primaries and secondaries, that exactly matched the color of his green eyes. He folded them up and put his shirt back on.

(LINE BRAKE)

I woke up who knows how long after I fell asleep. I wish that Fang was here, with the rest of the flock. I sat up and heard Percy muttering in his sleep. "Annabeth!" he cried softly, just like he so often did. I looked around and saw that there was a new girl in another dog crate next to us. She looked at me weirdly. Once Percy had cried Annabeth, the girl looked at him. She had curly blonde hair and piercing gray eyes.

"Are you Annabeth?" I asked her (It seemed like a good assumption). She sighed.

"Ya. Who are you?"

"I'm Max." I replied.

"I saw you in one of my dreams before, but there were five other people here. One girl had curly brown hair, tan skin, and brown eyes. Another boy was pale and had reddish blonde hair and blue eyes. Another boy was dark haired that I assumed was black, olive colored skin, and two more - a boy and a girl - that both had blonde hair and blue eyes."

"Do you know where they are?" I screamed. Percy woke up.

"Huh?" he asked. When he turned around he saw Annabeth. "Annabeth! what are you doing here!" he screamed.

"Percy, calm down." Annabeth replied. He was opening his mouth, so she gave him a death glare. Percy shut up. "And Max, I'm sorry, I do not know where these people are, I only saw them here."

"Damn it." I looked at her. "They are my only family."

"Oh. I am so sorry. I understand what it's like when someone you love goes missing." She looked at Percy. I fortunately knew what he was talking about.

"I'm probably the one who's missing." I retorted, and threw my arms out as wide as I could. "I mean, look at this place." Annabeth looked around.

"You're probably very right. By the way where the heck am I?"

And so I told her about where she was. She looked shocked - and kinda intrested. And since I knew she was Percy's girlfriend, I told her what happened to me. I turned around and showed her my wings. Annabeth gasped. "I mean, I think this is really cool technology, but not on people who can't decide whether or not they want to, and certainly not on kids. And they shouldn't be torturing you, you should be asleep so you don't feel anything. I mean, they treat you like dogs in here!" She said something in an unknown language.

"Annabeth." Percy said in a gentle tone.

"What?" she snapped, clearly distressed. He turned around and showed her. "Gods. You, too?" she said softly.

"Ya." Percy replied. Annabeth looked like she was about to cry. "One more thing though." he said.

"I don't think this can get any worse, but tell me anyways." she said bitterly.

"They take blood samples from us." Percy replied, clearly distraught.

"Damn it, Seaweed Brain!" she cursed. "They're gonna take my blood, too, aren't they."

"Probably. Then they'll probably give you some sort of DNA." I butted in. Annabeth looked at me in surprise. She grumbled.

(LINE BREAK)

They did the exact same thing to her as they did to Percy. They took her blood, they made her do test for three days, Then they injected her with avian DNA. Her wings were gray and had white tips. She cried afterward.

"I hate those guys. I swear, once I figure out a plan, we're getting out of here." she replied, before breaking down in more sobs.
