The flock has had it easy for a while, but things go very wrong. There's a new Institute, but is it like the old one? What trouble lies beneath those walls? And can Max handle everything alone? Read to find out.

It's sad, but I don't own Max Ride. James Patterson does, lucky duck.

I opened my eyes and quickly sat up. I soon realized that it was a horrible idea.

My shoulder ached like crazy, my whole body felt like a giant bruise. I moaned and lay back down. I looked up and saw that I was in the middle of a forest. 'How the heck did I get here?' I asked myself.

'You'll be surprised Max.' The voice said.

'What?'

But the voice didn't say anything back. I moaned again and looked down at myself. I saw bloody gauze wrapped around my stomach. I had no idea what was going on. I didn't know if I was at the school, or if I was kidnapped by a crazed scientist. I half expected that I would be dead already from the explosion. 'So what happened to me?' I asked out loud. I wondered where the flock was, and if the safely escaped. My eyes filled up with tears just thinking about them.

Then I heard footsteps walk towards me. I gasped and jumped to my feet, ready to fight. But then a wave of pain crashed into me and I fell to the ground.

But I realized that I never hit the ground. I felt someone's arms holding me up and gently laying me back down. It held my head and lightly brushed the hair away of my face. I opened my eyes weakly and saw a dark outline of a person looking down on me. Then I passed out again.

I know it's short, so sorry about that. But don't worry, I won't leave ya hangin.
