I ran for hours before I descided that I was far enough away from the crash and the murder of my family. I was now on an abandoned road in a city called Kingsman. I jogged for a little while longer until I found a nice enough alleyway to sleep in for the night. I quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching me before I slipped into the alley. I couldn't see any kind of shelter like a cardboard box or a trashcan so I just sat my butt down.

I couldn't believe how much my life had just changed. Last night I was sleeping in my own bed in the same house as my family. I looked aound the alley way and I began to make myself the promise that I would be strong. I wouldn't show any emotions because now they were my greatest weakness. With that last promise I leaned againt the wall behind me and fell into an uneasy sleep.

After that day I was never the same carefree girl that I uesed to be. That was the night I felt myself slowly slipping away to where I am now. After that night I started to use my kickboxing and martial arts that I learned when I was younger. My glare was the same as it had always been when I was a stubborn little girl even though I was out of practice.I didn't get much sleep that night in the alley way and it didn't help when i was woken up early in the morning either. The next morning came with a new life and along with that many sleepless nights.


I was startled awake when my head hit something hard. I slowly opened up my eyes to see that it was the ground of the alley that I hit my head on.

I looked up catiously because I knew that I didn't fall on accident. My eyes met a dark figure that was holding a knife up in my direction. By instict I quickly rose into a fightning possition that I learned when I was little and Jeb had me take when I was little. The move was supposed to looked intimidateing but it was ruined when I got dizzy and had to lean against the cement wall of the alley way for help.

When me eyes regained focus I looked back at my attacker and studied him. He was wearing all black except for his gray and black grapic t-shirt. He was looking at me with bright blue eyes and he had black hair. His shirt was a little tight so I could see the definition of his muscles. He still had his knife in his hand pointing at me. The knife looked around five inches long and it had a design on it that looked like an eye.

He finally opened up his mouth to say something but all that came out was a low growl. If I was anyone else I would have taken a step back. That's just not me so I got into my fighting position, gave him my death glare, and growled right back at him.

"Who are you?" He asked in such a low voice I almost thought he didn't say anything.

" I am Max, Maximum Ride," I replied in the same low tone of voice.

He gave me a once over and I gave a little warning growl. I didn't like guys checking me out and that was always a problem at my old school. He looked back at my face then slowly came out of his fighting position while lowering his knife.

"Come," was all he said before he turned his back to me and started walking out of the alley way.

It took me a minute to understand what he had just said. I looked at where I slept last night. I wouldn't mind being on the streets but it definatley wasn't my first opption. I looked back up to the front of the alley way where he was waiting for me with his back turned. I tooked a hesitant step towards him then I started slowly walking towards him till i got to the enterance of the alley way. He gave me a side glance a quick nod of his head.

"Good choice," he said then started walking away. I started to follow him but I kept myself on high alert. I didn't know where he was taking me or what would happen to me. I wasn't scared of this new beginning as much as I was interested. I don't like changes but my life has changed so much already I don't think one more would hurt me.

That day I made one of the best but at the same time worst mistake of my life. When I look back now I know I would have died if I lived on the streets. Now I know that it wouldn't have been a peaceful death either. When I look back now sometimes I wish I could have died in that alley way instead of living and looking at those who did.
