Hi guys! I'm back. I've changed my name to Light Dragon SunsSong, as you may have noticed. Also, I am combining TDE and it's sequel, because they are both rather short… Just a heads up.

I had only been in Washington, D.C. for a day and I was already mad. I hadn't even seen a feather of Maximum Ride, and I'd been constantly chased by Erasers. Not that I couldn't have taken them, but it would be conspicuous to see this 13-year-old beating up hairy wolf men. So I had to run. Needless to say, I was not only angry, but I was dead tired. Then, after I had been asleep for about five seconds, the Erasers attacked again. But this attack was different. There was a human with them.

By the time I was awake, they had already pinned me to the ground. I was about ready to change and rip them to little tiny bits when a man came up. I ended up using echolocation to identify him; he was that newbie scientist that let me escape.

"So, we've finally caught you," he said, grinning. Then, when I snarled, he took a half step back.

"You can't escape, Garret," he said, trembling. "However strong you are, you're not stronger than these Erasers." That's when he got haughty and made me even madder. Big mistake.

"You're caught now, and you'll never escape again. You'll stay in that cage until your cells unravel."

"Wanna bet?" Then, I started changing for the second time. The Erasers restraining me might as well have been tissue paper. After I killed every one of them, I turned and saw the newbie running in fear. Growling viciously, I jumped into the air and followed him into a secluded part of the park. Where no one would hear him scream.

He was the first human I ever killed. And it was fun.

The next day, I was again walking the streets of Washington, searching for the elusive Maximum Ride, when I accidentally bumped into this little girl. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were blue. She was also wearing a windbreaker, like I was. She seemed familiar. Then, out of the blue, she said, "Why do you want to kill Max?" I was shocked, but it only lasted for about a second. She was a mutant too! More than likely one of Maximum's 'flock'. A plan hatched in my head, but I was careful not to think about it.
"Now, why would I want to do that?"
"I dunno. I asked you first." This kid was getting on my nerves. Then, I heard a yell.
"Angel! Where are you!" The girl opened her mouth to yell back, and I quickly clapped my hand over it. I didn't like using a mutant like me like this, but I had no choice. Besides, I wasn't going to hurt her, just Maximum.
I looked around. No one. I ducked into an alley as the kid squirmed. I opened my wings, ripping through the feeble cloth of the windbreaker, and easily power flapped up and onto the nearest building. I looked around for a group of teens... There. One of them I recognized as Maximum. I followed them down the street. They all looked distressed, as though looking for a lost child. Well, duh, they were.

"Angel!" I jumped from house to house, spreading my wings for balance. It was late now, and it was almost dark. I would be able to fly then.
Suddenly, right in the middle of a jump, 'Angel' bit my hand. Flapping, I kept airborne and bit my lip to keep from screaming. I landed and somehow managed to rip off my windbreaker and keep the little girl from running away. I tore off a piece to use as a gag and tied the rest around her. By this timed it was night, and I flew holding the windbreaker, the girl dangling below me. Maximum and her gang hadn't gone, and were now heading to where ever they were staying. After following them there, I wrote a ransom note, telling Maximum to retrieve her alone. I added a lock of the girl's hair to make sure my directions were followed.
