Chapter 1

What's up?! I'm back and this is chapter 1! I hope you like it and… Yeah. The first few chapters are going to be short, but I'll make them longer once I get used to this place!

Disclaimer: James Patterson is a dude and last time I checked, I'm a girl! JP owns Maximum Ride. I only own the The Hunters in this story!

FLAMES WILL BE IGNORED!

Phoenix's POV:

Have any of you ever heard of the Asylum Room? No? Yeah, that's what I thought. The Asylum Room is meant for experiments like me to stay there for twenty two hours straight without any food, water, or civilization.

So, its pretty much a crazy house for loonies. Not that there's much of a difference here at Itex. I'm pretty sure the guy who thought of making Itex was on both drugs and steroids. I mean, what kind of moron thinks, 'Hey, I should make an institute where crazy scientist can experiment on babies and turn them into superhumans when they're older'?

But anyways… Today was the day I'm put in the Asylum Room. With seven other people. You know how in the first paragraph, I said the Asylum Room was meant for no civilization (I meant by-no humans, no windows. Only white plush walls, floors, ceiling, and a steel bed without any pillows). Well I guess the Crazy Ones (the scientist) thought it was a good idea to put me and my sister, Ice-two of the most dangerous experiments in the institute-with six other experiments in. In. One. Teeny. Tiny. Room.

I should probably start at the beginning of the story instead of leaving you thinking, 'WTF IS THIS GIRL SAYING?!'

-22 HOURS AGO-

It was 1:00 PM and I was awoken in my 'peaceful' sleep by the morotic dogs who come and stalk me and Ice.

I heard the shaking of my cage first, ignored it. Then the screaming and howling of the wolves, ignored it. Then the shaking again and the screaming and howling of the dogs. They pulled me out of the cage when I shot up and almost socked one of them for waking my in my sleep.

"What do you dogs want?" I snapped coldly. Colder than Ice considering that she controls ice and I control fire.

"C'mon, Techno Girl." One of them said. The others smirked when he said my nickname. Sometimes, I hate being 8% percent cyborg. But then again… I'm ten times smarter than the smartest human. Not to mention 1,000% smarter than the dogs.

They pulled Ice out of her cage and they dragged the both of us to the Asylum Room. The dogs threw us in like we were nothing. We landed on our backs. So lucky the floor is plush.

"Now that all of you are here, start talking." The leader of the dogs said as he walked away with his goons.

"What did he mean by 'all of you'?" I asked Ice.

We heard a cough in the background and we turned around. We saw six other people. Three girls and three boys.

"That's what he meant." Ice said, surprised.

Now here we are, sitting in a circle, super tense and looking at each other silently. I studied the three girls. The oldest looked about eighteen, her short red hair being blown by the cold wind. Geez, these scientist really need an A/C.

"So…." She said. "How are we going to introduce ourselves? We've been either standing, walking, or laying for over twenty two hours."

"Don't know, don't care." I snapped. "Just get me outta this white filled horror."

Ice rolled her eyes and fiddled with our necklaces (A/N: Its the picture of the cover! I'll try and post a link of the pic. If I can't well… Um… Just look at da cover!). "Excuse my twin's actions. She gets angry when you stay in a tiny room. She can blow people away with fire. Literally."

"Like you can control your ice powers? You practically froze me." I told her, remembering the time she tried doing an ice sculpture.

"I was nine and stupid." She said.

"You still are." I spat.

"Girls, girls, girls." The black haired guy said. "No need for fighting."

"Whatever." I muttered as turned my hand into a ball of fire. "Who's gonna tell their powers?"

"I'll start." The red headed girl said. "The names Red Riding Hood. I prefer Red, though. 2% avian. I'm eighteen."

"My name's Katherine. Kat for short. I'm part hawk. I'm sixteen." The blonde girl said.

"The names Claw." The black haired guy said. "2% wolf, 2% avian. I'm thirteen."

"I'm his twin, Blade. Same as him." The blond guy said.

"My name's Jamie." The purple haired girl said. "I'm 2% avian. I'm seventeen."

"My name's Hunter." The red headed guys said. "I'm Red's younger brother. I'm fourteen."

"My name's Ice." My twin said. "2% avian. I'm twelve."

Everyone turned to me. I sighed. "The name's Phoenix. I'm 8% cyborg and 2% avian. I'm twelve and I'm your worst nightmare."

Now that's what got everyone's attention.

Claw's POV:

"Wait, wait, wait." Hunter said. "You're the girl who killed almost half the wolves here?"

Phoenix stayed emotionless. "Got a problem with that?"

Ice just gave her sister a top notch half smile. I have never been this scared in my life. This girl has a got a reputation. Almost all the dogs were gone because of this chick. She's short tempered and her twin isn't calm either. If you put the two of them together in one room, really angry, you'd be dead by the end of the day.

"We are really going to die now." Blade said to me. I nodded.

We are dead indeed….

Herro! I hope you like and just read it, review it, and love it!

Bye bye!
