Thank you to HAYDENpfan, If it werent for you i would have stopped writing. and to those who said it sounds like Collision; yes it does sound alike but no i made this up during school in 4th hour. so since there are no computers there i couldnt have read collision and that means i couldnt have stolen it. and to all those who flamed me FUCK YOU ALL TO HELL. it is my first fanfic and it was only the first chapter so how could you say it is horrible or it sucks and delete it but you know what i never claimed to be a wonderful wrighter i do it because i want to. and you no what i dont care if the author notes have some slang in them wich they dont they just have some grammer mistakes. and the flock didnt get to hurt just two wings and they heal super fast so it will only be like 2-3 days before they back to full health. plus in pg. 37 of Titans Curse it says that Artemis can replenish anything she kills so when Thalia kills the birds she can just bring it back later 10-fold meaning with 9 others. ANYWAYS here is the next chapter.

Chapter 2: Flocking Songs

MAX POV

"Gazzy would you please SHUT UP!!" I yelled at him for the tenth time that hour. He just smiled at me and kept singing 'White and Nerdy'.

O.k. I should probaly tell you who we are and stuff so I'll do that now. I'm Maximum Ride, or Max for short, and this is my Flock; Fang, my right-wing man, Iggy, the only blind pyro, Nudge, the only one of us who can talk more than eat, Gazzy, a smell magnet, and Angel, the angelic baby. "Thanks Max." Angel said. Oh and Angel can read minds did I forget to mention that part.

Well we've been flying over Long Island for about 3 maybe 4 hours now. Yeah flying. You know with wings. Yep were not human. Well not totally human anyways. We're 2% avain (bird) and 98% human. We all have weird powers like me being able to fly over 200 mile an hour, Angel being able to read and control minds, and Gazzy can mimic any voice perfectly. That is what I was yelling at him about earlier. He gave us all 'Theme Songs' and has been singing them for the past 2 hours. He gave himself 'Hate My Life' by Theory of a Deadman because of us all being on the run, he gave Iggy 'White and Nerdy' just to make him mad, and he gave Angel 'Sk8er Boi' by Avril Lavigne because she well actually I really don't know why he just did. He gave me 'We Will Rock You' by Queen because I kick butt, he gave Nudge 'I'm Just a Kid' by Simple Plan because she wouldnt shut up until he did, and he gave Fang 'What I've Done' by Linkin Park because of all the times Fang has gotten into fights and because Gazzy thought Fang would hate it. But we would never know if he did or not because he never ever shows emotion.

Angel sweetie could you please shut your brother up right now before I have to duck tape his mouth. I thought to her. I'm sorry Max but it's to funny watching the big kids get annoyed. Even Fang is mad. But only in his head.

I gritted my teeth and started to look around, blocking out Gazzy's singing as best as I could. We where over a big forest area now with alot of trees. I saw something go down off to my left and looked over at it. Right before it hit the tree line I saw it was a bird. I looked around and saw that other birds were falling out of the sky also. I started to scan the ground for the shooter and saw her almost instantly looking up at us. It took half a second for the thought to register in my mind what she was doing and another to form my plan. "Roll. Roll. Roll." I yelled to the flock. Ok so it wasn't the best plan but could you come up with something better in half a second. No, I didnt think so. We all barrel rolled left at the exact second she shot. It looked like she missed but than Iggy started to go down. "Shit" I muttered as I started to go down after him. I called over my shoulder to Fang, "Go half a mile staight and then west another half a mile. We'll met you there." I went into super-speed to catch up with Iggy and grabbed him 20 feet before the tree line. "Iggy where'd you get hit?" I asked him as I started to fly back up. "Nothing to serious just hit my wing." he said trying to move and wincing. We just started to pull up 10 feet when another bullet pierced my wing. We started to go down again both of us not being able to fly. Right before we hit the tree tops we hit something. I didn't know what it was just that it wasn't a tree. I looked up and saw a kid. He looked about 16 with black hair and sea-grean eyes. Then I, the invincible Maximum Ride, blacked out.
