Biology

I sat with my head rested against the wooden table the only useful part of this subject was the anatomy of the body cause you learnt more ways to inflict pain on a person.

I couldn't even tell you what was going on at this very moment I was thinking about the plan that didn't quiet exist yet. I had more scores on this one page than I did words.

" What you doing?"

Here it goes again I thought to myself. Fang was too nosey for his own good and one day he would pay for it.

" Revenge." It's a simple no strings answer.

" Hope it ain't on me." He laughed. He truly had no idea.

" No." I snapped.

" How's that working for you?" He looked at the bit of paper and smirked.

" Just great thanks." I bit my tongue to refrain from saying more.

" Doesn't look like it but if you want my opinion hit them where it hurts." He looked pleased with himself as though nobody else could have come up with it.

" Thanks for that but I've already thought about that and I don't want to go for the obvious attack then they might just miss my whole point."

" Ok I was just saying I thought it was just some fall out between friends. Guess I was wrong."

" You don't have to worry they'll be no war heading your way. I'd be will willing to put my life on it."

" What makes you so sure?" Curiosity burned in his eyes but I've been in this game to long to let some like him knock me off my goal.

"You just have to trust me I guess." I shrugged my shoulders.

The bell went saving me from more of this conversation, how ironic saved by the bell.

The lunch room filled with children acting like wild animals in search of food. It's strange you aren't allowed to talk about gangs but if you look at this school as a whole you can see it's just as badly split up. Lunch is a strange time cause Angel also goes to this school but we have to act as though we don't know each other so our cover won't be blown.

My I-pod blared as I spent another lunch time alone not that it bothers me it's kind of nice in a strange way it gives you time to reflect what's going on round about you and in that case lunch is a very good time for me but today I felt like a change to sit outside because the weather was nice.

I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up but I tried to ignore it because I knew no harm would come to me while I was at school but you always have that underlying fear.

Someone tapped my shoulder and I lost it. I didn't even think it's an automatic reflex but I knew I had to stop.

" Do that again and I can promise you, you won't know what's hit you." I snarled no longer caring who was behind me.

There was no reply but I knew better than to turn round. I'm convinced the Gods are conspiring against me. Like three strikes and you out kind of rules.

The bell went and I rose from the outside bench hopefully the rest of my day would be less eventful. I took a walk around stalling for time.

Maths. You either love it or hate it there is no happy medium (Maths word) and most days I tend to go with the latter of the two.

" Miss Ride nice of you to join us." Mrs Walker acknowledged my lateness.

" I'm glad you think so." I smiled and sat down next to Fang.

Great two hours worth of maths I shuddered at the very thought of it.
Kill me now.

2002-Summer holidays- First stage of training

"Max it's time for the three stages of your training." My dad spoke from behind me as he pushed me gently into the room. " This will either break or make you honey so make sure you don't let me down." He smiled and patted me on my back almost in a warning manner.

" I won't I promise dad."

" The first lesson is to master your pain."

Confusion flashed across my face, the idea of being in pain had never had any appeal to me even when my mum left I just blocked it out because that situation was out of my control but I had a feeling emotional shut down was going to be another lesson but lets save that for another day.

" This lesson is simple don't let anyone know your in pain no matter what your bodies trying to tell you each time you fall you must get up quicker and most importantly never let you guard down because that will be your biggest down fall."

" Ok."

I was scared and I hadn't felt that way in a long time, this was all out of my control, I watched as two people stalked towards me. The first punch was the worst my mind went blank everything I'd been taught during my martial arts class fled my mind and all my instincts told me to run from the room but I couldn't all the doors had been locked.

All I could feel was the pain being beaten into my body but I got told it was something I was going to have to get use to. I was hit repeatedly for the next half hour terrified to move. I felt like a rag doll being pushed around and there was nothing I could do about it.

The tears stung my cut face but I didn't dare think about anything else well in the black room. I felt so alone but I had five people watching this beating going on in front of them. My dad watched from the sidelines as two people tore into me and he did nothing. He warned me time and time again that this would eventually happen because Riders need to be strong no matter the circumstances.

It all stopped and I let out a slow shaky breath, I winced as the air filled my lungs a short shooting pain filled my ribs.

" You'll thank me for this later on in life Max I promise." He smiled and fled from the room.

" I don't think so." I muttered in a quick haze and then it all went black.

If I'd only know there and then that the third and final part of my training would be of me taking over the Riders with little warning.

A/N: So Ive had a main question asked about this story that I'd thought be good to answer now.

1. Is this a Fax story? I'm going to say yes and no because I have two endings in mind.

I'm sorry if people get confused with me switching between different time but I think that's the best way this stories going to work so you can see the developement in Max as the story moves further on. If that makes sense.
Please review because I love knowing what you think of this story and if anyone has any more questions to ask just ask away and I'll try to answer them as best I can. I'll do a chapter from Fangs POV later on in this.

I'm now in the all clear with my pain and I got a scan done but it now means I have to get another check-up done just so they can finally give me the all clear.
Hope you enjoyed it and please review.
