We Go To School

Chapter 11

MPOV-

I woke up in a concrete room. Wow, that's a change from maybe a cage.

The rest of the flock was near me as well, but we were all chained to the wall by just one ankle.

"Fang, Fang wake up." I whispered in his ear as he stirred. The rest of the flocks heard and they woke up.

"Max, what are we going to do?" Angel asked as she and Gazzy snuggled up next to Fang and me.

"I honestly don't know Angel." And for once I was telling the truth.

The whole flock stared at me in surprise.

"Don't worry you guys. These guys always mess up. We'll get out." I said.

They looked more relaxed. Nudge snuggled up against Iggy (they are so cute together! And FYI I'm ok with Iggy and Nudge now). Gazzy and Angel curled up in the corner, and I curled up next to Fang.

Just then the door swung open and two whitecoats unlocked only my chain. Then, they dragged me out.

"Um… what do you think you're doing?" I shouted planting my feet.

"We have to run some tests on you." They replied.

"Put her down." Fang growled.

"She'll be back sooner or later." One of them said and then suddenly dragged me out and pulled me away.

They dragged me down several hallways. When we were on the 4th hallway I heard a earsplitting scream.

"Who was that?" I asked the whitecoats.

"Not important." She replied.

She pushed me past the room where another scream came from. I slammed the whitecoat into the wall and ran in there.

I saw a girl who couldn't possibly be more than 12 years old on an operation table, with several cuts on her and a hungry looking Eraser standing above her. Another boy was being held back by 3 Erasers but he was putting on a good fight trying to get to the girl.

I side kicked the Eraser standing over the girl in the neck snapping it. It went down, most likely dead.

The other 3 Erasers rushed me and the boy ran over to the girl, who he scooped up and held her close.

I knocked out the 3 Erasers and ran over to help the girl.

"Who are you?" The boy asked tears running down his cheeks.

"I'm Maximum Ride. Max." I answered.

I took care of the girl put bandage and gauze all over her cuts.

"Thank you." She mumbled when she gained consciousness.

"Come on you two. You can stay in our cell." I said bitterly.

"OK." The boy said still holding the girl since she couldn't walk.

"Um… what are your names?" I asked.

"I'm Zack and she's Nicky." Zack answer.

"Ok, come on." I lead them to the door, peeked out, saw nobody there and I set out for our cell practically running.

"Ok, in here." I pulled on the door and it swung open. Apparently, it opens from the outside, but not the inside. We are so outta here.

"Ok, flock. We're getting outta here. Let's go and-" I was interrupted by the sound of several Erasers growling.

"Get inside." He said shoving me hard to the ground next to Fang. Then, he shoved Zack , who fell over and Nicky dropped to the floor. She groaned loudly.

"Well if you want those freaks in here," He said pointing to Zack and Nicky "Then, you can have them. Move out!" He screamed to the Erasers.

"Max what's on?" Fang asked once the Erasers left and shut the door.

"Well, the whitecoats were taking me to a lab and I heard Nicky here," I said gesturing to Nicky who was huddled next to Zack "screaming in pain. I burst in and saw an Eraser about to kill her. I saved her and Zack and we ended up back here." I finished.

"Oh, well what can they do?" Gazzy asked.

"I don't know." I crawled toward Nicky and Zack to talk to them.

"What can you guys do?" I asked quietly.

"We have wings-" Zack began but was interrupted by Nicky.

"And the last part about me is something I'm not sure I can tell you." Nicky said.

"You can trust us. We have wings too. Angel can read minds. Nudge can hack any computer and attract metal. I can fly super fast. Iggy can feel colors. Fang can go invisible. Gazzy can make atomic farts." I stated.

"Well, I can read minds and fly super fast too. And Nicky has a chose to tell you about her gifts." Zack said. "Oh, and who is who?"

"This is Angel who's 6, Gazzy who's 8, Nudge who's 11, and Fang, Iggy, and I who are 14." I said pointing to each one.

"Well, if you can trust us, I can trust you." Nicky said. "I'm one of the most successful mutants the school has created. I'm 12 and so is Zack. But I'm 2% bird and 98% wizard." She said nervously.

The entire flock busted into laughter.

"IT'S TRUE!" Nicky and Zack screamed over our laughter.

"You seriously expect us to believe you're a wizard?" I said once the flock was serious again.

"I'll prove it." She said confidently. "Now that I have my energy back…."

She took a stick out from her boot, and waved it around her body. Did she serious think that would work?

And right before my eyes all her wounds were gone. We all gasped.

"I told you." Nicky muttered.
