Chapter 2
All rights go to James Patterson the master crafter of maximum ride
"We need to test you to see if anything else has developed," explained Jeb ", we have made it so that we can end the test at any time. Simply put stay alive, you're very good at that. To take the advantage from you Dylan will come with me."
"The advantage," I questioned and Jeb shrugged as he walked away. The Erasers then followed him and then I heard a voice I didn't recognized say through a loud speaker that was some where ", there are four flags in the forest and there are five of you, your job is to find them. Scattered through out the forest are booby traps and Flyboys. There are four flags and five of you, in a way this is a competition. To help Iggy we will be sending out a guide, oh and no flying."
That last statement startled us all.
"No flying," I asked the others ", this could get intresting."
The voice continued to speak ", there are start places scattered around the training ground that are color coded. Angel is white, Gazzy is yellow, Nudge is black, Iggy is red and Max is blue. Please find the start points; once every one does a whistle will begin the game. Then all you have to do is get a flag and return to your start point. Simple as that."
So everyone else walked off because I was standing at the blue stripe. I had to wait a few minutes and in this time I formulated a plan in my head. I decided I was going to try and climb one of the trees looking for the flags from up high should help. The problem showed it's self when I remembered we couldn't fly, which could make this last a while depending on the size of this place. I didn't even have a chance to prepare as the whistle blew. I took off running in a general direction looking for a good tree to climb and search. It took a good three minutes before I found a tree with a semi low branch on it and I started to climb.
"Nudge has taken a flag and returned to her start point," said the speaker. I knew I was behind so I climbed faster than before and once I began looking out I found what I was looking for. A small flag waving in the wind high up in a tree.
"Gazzy has found a flag," said the speaker and I realized that only Angel and Iggy haven't gotten flags.
"Iggy has found a flag," said the speaker and I was staring at the final one. Out of nowhere came Angel, flying literally, and sweeping up the flag doing a large ark, and returning to her line.
"Angel has found a flag," said the speaker and the trees started retracting into the ground and I hoped off them a little stunned.
I walked up to the others and asked ", how many of you flew."
all hands shot up even Iggy's guide who appeared to have wings.
"Didn't they say no flying," I asked and they all nodded.
"Great job everybody," said Jeb coming out of nowhere.
"But they all cheated," I said.
"They didn't cheat max, in a fight nothings cheating. You should no that easily, I taught you that," He said and I got a little angry.
"So where are we supposed to stay," I asked.
"behind each start point is a door go inside and follow the signs to your room," He said and I happily obliged. I walked angrily in the door but then I started hearing music and stop. I had heard the song somewhere before and I started to hum it as I followed the sound. I then heard a female voice singing along with it. She had the voice of an angel, and I don't know why she wasn't out in the outside world using her gift.
(The song is You Found Me by The Fray)
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, Where you been?
He said, Ask anything.
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You Found Me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Early morning
The city breaks
I've been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Why'd you have to wait
To find me, to find me?
I finally found a small room and looked in to see a girl lying on her bed with the radio on. I knocked on the door and startled her but she turned the radio off and invited me in.
"So I meet the one and only Maximum Ride, famous around here," she says with a very slight European accent so it's almost unnoticeable.
"So I've heard," I say ", what's your name and why are you here."
"My name's Elincia, I'm here because of the same reason you are. Wings," she says and sits up. She has brown hair that falls to her shoulders and is shorter than me by about two inches.
"Put simply Shao is my brother," she said I stood there mouth agape ", We were both taken but I disagreed with what they thought, I'm supposed to be the sixth member of the second flock."
