I open my eyes, 10 of them standing over me wanting me to think I'm worthless, hurting to show me that my life was meant nothing, my life is something they can play around with, like there some kind of god, choosing who live and who dies. Not for me.
I start kicking and thrashing at the scientists, pushing them back with so much force that they tumble to the ground. I rip the ties open with crazy strength, what were they injecting into me? I push them all to the ground before they can press a buzzer. Unlocking the door, I turn and run in the direction I came from, knocking out a scientist in the hallway and stealing his card. I run to all the cages, the 8 of them look up and look shocked when they realize I'm alive.
"What happened? How did you escape?" one of them asks, but I'm in a big hurry, swiping the card, opening the cages, one by one they climb out.
"Follow me" I say as the alarms start blaring, I run out the hall, to the left the right. We arrive at a door. I try opening it and it's unlocked. The erasers are right behind us.
"Go! Go!" I yell over the sirens, one by one they go through the door until I'm the last person in there. Jeb runs out from behind the erasers
"Max! Don't make the same mistake! We are trying to save the world, you won't get away from us, you never have and you never will" he says calmly like he's sure that I won't go. I think about it, the only family I ever had, gone, disappeared, no traces, like they were never here. But I carry them around with me wherever I go, so I will not stay.
"No Jeb, you're killing people, playing god, that doesn't work for me." I mimic his tone. I jump out, I see the erasers coming forward, but Jeb stops them.
I see the 8 of the walking quickly away from the school, when I get to them they stop.
"Can anyone here fly?" I ask, they look at each other as if they're debating whether or not to tell me. The blond superman -Jason- speaks up
"I can, and we have three flying horses"
"Ok good. Divide yourselves onto the horses," I say taking leadership like I was used to with the flock. Superm- I mean Jason and the green eyed guy both seemed a little hurt, their pride pierced through because I'm a girl taking charge. Then both of them and Hazel whistled and three horses galloped through the sky.
Percy and Annabeth on a horse called Blackjack, Jason, piper and Leo on another horse called Tempest, who names theses animals?
Hazel and frank on Arion and Nico is going to 'shadow travel?'
When they're already Annabeth looks at me
"How are you going to get there?" she asks
"That's the easy part" I say confidently, they all look at me. I unravel my 14inch long white wings with light brown spots, they gasp.
