Author's Note: Mr. Cliffhanger didn't feel appreciated in the last chapter so he's gone... For now. Well, in my opinion he is, you might think he's still here but I don't R&R :) Enjoy!


Lily's POV

I woke up and hit my head. I was in a dog crate. The awful stench of chemicals filled the air. Wait a minute, I've heard about this place, they genetically enhance kids here. This is where Maximum Ride came from. I still don't know who she is though.

Someone opened the door to my room, brilliant light shone in, stinging my eyes. A man with brown hair and blue eyes walked into the room and bent down beside my crate.

"Hello Lily," He began, "Just to give you a heads up, were here to help you save the world. We want to make the world a better place. To do that, we have to get rid of anyone who can stop us. This means you and Max. However, your powers can help do what we want- to make the world a better place. So, we will be taking them."

This mystery guy turned towards the light and I saw a name reflect off his name tag. Jeb, for some reason that name gave me chills.

I quickly spoke up before he walked out, "You realize you'll never be able to do that to me right?" I said and tried to teleport out of there. It felt like I got hit in the head with a rock, and then I was back in the cage, pain shooting through my whole body.

This Jeb guy burst into laughter, "You stupid witch, your cage is magic proof! You're not getting out of this one!" With that he left the room, leaving me in the crate.

Before it went completely silent again, I heard his faint voice "Prepare Subject 3243 for the tests!" And I immediately knew he was talking about me.


Angel's POV

I was looking out the window, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I had a sister. If only I knew her name. Ever since last week I've been having these visions of me when I was a baby, my older sister standing there. In some visions she was blond, and in some she had red hair. The only thing that never changed was the eyes, the same eyes me and Gazzy both had.

The most recent vision was the scariest. I've actually been thinking it was just a nightmare, not a vision, but I don't know.

Erasers were chasing me through some kind of forest. My sister was leading them, controlling them almost. I was finally gaining a lead, when an invisible force field sent me flying back towards the things chasing me.

They caught me. A knife appeared in my sister's hands, and she came down on me. She was about to stab me when she got shot in the head. I looked over, and there was Max.

I woke up crying from that one, I couldn't take it.

Rain started pouring down on the window I was looking out of, blocking what I could see. Pain shot through my head, and images clouded my brain.


Angels standing with her sister, Gazzy by her side. They're listening for something, something that scares Angels sister. Angel tries to pick out some thoughts out of her sister's brain, but gets nothing.

Erasers pop out of the bushes, while other creatures surround them from all corners. Two knifes appear in Angel's sisters hands, and she holds them up, signaling not to mess with her.

After a few minutes of intimidating stare down, all the creatures charge at them. Her sister whispers something, barely audible, "Hold on," and her and Gazzy grip onto their sisters arms.

Their sister starts to levitate away, but when she's halfway into the sky a bullet grazes her left arm and blood starts pouring out. Her sister tell them to take off, to fly, that she'll be okay, but Angel doesn't believe her.

"GO!" Her sister screams, and she falls like a rock, down to the crowd of creatures below. Gazzy and Angel snap out their wings.

As Angel's flying away, her sister's muffled screams fill the air, as they slowly kill her.


Tears pour out of my eyes, I can't believe I just saw that! If these actually come true, if I do actually have a sister, I have to make sure she doesn't die. Even though all the signs say she will. I guess it's up to me.
