Sorry it took me so long to update. I was stuck but now I figured it out and the next chapter might be uploaded today. Yea hope you like it (I don't own maximum ride but I do own Alice and Cody!)

I just stopped in mid air, my wings froze up and I fell. My brain eventually caught up to me and I snapped my wings out and flapped like mad. Luckily enough, I started rising in the air and soon I was back to being level with Cody. I just looked at him with an amazingly shocked and pissed off look on my face. "Hey" he said coolly. I just looked at him with my shocked and P.O'd look and started trying to put a sentence together in my head. I failed miserably. "H-h-how the….w-w-what the….w-who the…...h-h-h-huh?" I stuttered out. He just laughed at me and said "Well you didn't exactly tell me did you so how did you expect me to tell you" I just couldn't say anything. I was speechless. Some how, I managed to stutter out "H-h-how?"

(FLASHBACK!) (flashback is played out two years before their present day)

Sunday mornings lying in bed. What more could a 13 year old want? Just lying in the warm snugglyness of fluffy sheets, a spongy mattress, thick warm duvet and a electric blanket to top it off. Sooooo good!

"CODY! CODY-CODY-CODY!"

Alice comes running into my warm room and starts jumping on my bed. Not such a nice warm morning in bed anymore.

"GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!"

What is it with her and saying things 3 or more times? Oh well

"What is it Alice" I asked sluggishly.

"Mum says that you can come round to my house for our party. All my family is going to be there. You wana come?" Please, Please, Pllleeaaasssseeeeee!"

It seemed like she had been holding all of her excitement in for years and now here it was all coming out in one crazy moment.

"Sure I would love to come" I said not necessarily happily or anything but I like to make her happy and it might be fun.

"YAY, YAY, YA…" "Wait!" I said cutting her off.

"You have to tell me some details"

"Okay. Well its on this afternoon and you don't have to bring anything and I will come get you just before it starts and its going to be awesome and, and…Well that's it I think…Yea that's it" She blurted out.

"Right, okay. Now you just need to leave me here till you come to get me later so I can get ready okay?"

"Yep sure. See you later"

And with that she left just as quickly as she had come and I was once again left in peace.

But my peace didn't exactly last very long because before I knew it my uncle who was staying with us for a while walked into my room wearing his work uniform. A white lab coat. I'd often wondered were he worked, but when I asked he acted as if I hadn't said anything. So when he walked into my room with I little needle today I had no idea what it was for. He walked over to me and said; "I'm sorry" He then proceeded to shove the needle into my arm making me very sleepy and then pass out on the floor or my warm room.

When I woke up my head was aching and I wasn't lying on the floor in my room anymore. I was in a crate of some sort and the crate was in a brilliant white lab. My uncle was sitting on a chair across the room from me. That explains the lab coat he wears.

"Ah, lovely, your awake. Good we need you awake for the next phase"

What was the next phase? My worst nightmare was the answer for that question. He came at me with yet another needle and stabbed it harshly into my arm. The serum flowed through me and with in seconds I was writhing in pain. It felt like they had found a million knifes and they were stabbing them into my back all at once and then doing it again and again. I must have fainted from the pain because when I opened my eyes there was no more pain but instead I was lying on a mattress that was now soaked with blood. I felt around behind me and there was something attached to my back. I then realised that I could move then and when I found the strength to stand up I looked behind me and saw my wings. I was gobsmacked and amazed but terrified at the same time. Then I looked around me. I had been left outside. They had let me go. It was getting dark and I knew that you (Alice) would be worried so I ran and found that while I ran if I spread out my wings I could float kinda. It was awesome and so I ran faster and then I was flying. I found my way home and then came straight to find you. I did and you were frustrated because I had missed the party but you had no idea why and I wouldn't tell you.
