Disclaimer- Don't own Maximum Ride :/

Author Note- So I found a kinda error in my own story… I know it's virtually impossible to hide a set of freakin wings in a skin tight underarmor shirt, but you know what? It's my story and the laws of physics and stuff shall be bent to my will! Mwhaha! :) Mkay :) here's chapter two!

Chapter 2 (as stated above, duh.)

"Ari… "Max whispered. The voice calling a lockdown was Ari. The evil eraser Ari! I grabbed Jamie's hand and dragged her out of the bathroom.

"Max!" she practically screamed "What the in the hellfire is going on?" Ma x turned to look at her. She was so happy and innocent. Her green eyes sparkled with confusion. Her once springy blonde braids now hung in limp twists. Max looked at her and tried to picture her as an Eraser. Jamie needed to escape.

"Jamie, do you trust me?" Max asked

"You know I do with my life." Jamie said grimly. "This has something to do with your past right? About the flock and the school?"

Max nodded. "I need to get you out of here. If you get caught, they will kill you, change you, or worse."

Jamie nodded, understanding. "I can contact your old flock! They could help right?"

"I don't know. It's been two years since I last saw them."

"I'll just work my girl charms on this tall dark and handsome backstabbing Fang and get him here." Jamie grinned. Max grinned in response and them cracked the window they were now standing in front of. Pushing it completely open, she hoisted Jamie through. "Oh Max! Hand me my bag!"

Max glanced over. "Why?" Jamie rolled her eyes as though it were obvious.

"Phone, bag. Your phone, your bag. Communication much genius?"

"Oh man Jamie, you are brilliant!" Tossing the bag over, Max closed the window.

Now, she had to face Ari.

The Flock-

Fang gritted his teeth against his gnawing irritation. The erasers had just vanished. They went all stiff, and then ran for it. Something was totally up, and they were clueless. Fang titled his head up and did a head count, just in case. Nudge, Angel, and Total were playing a sort of fetch in the shade of the trees. Gazzy and Iggy were sprawled out in the grass looking at Fang's laptop. He had just finished his recent blog and they had wanted to use it so why not? But he felt uneasy. Maybe it had something to do with the blonde girl about his age standing on the other side of the courtyard, watching them. She got up and moved in a swirl of purple skirt and headed over to him. Fang tensed, ready to signal the others to do an up and away. The girl flopped down next to him. "You're Fang right?" she asked sweetly "Don't go. Max sent me." Fang stopped. Max? The name brought a rush of painful memories. The sharpest being the night she left. And he was to scared and ashamed to go look for her.

"Max… Max sent you?" he said softly

"Yup. She's my best friend. We need your help. Actually, allot of innocent people need your help."

"What do you mean?"

"Wow. You really don't talk much. Well to start from the beginning, Erasers took over our school, the principal is a white-coat, and Ari the eraser is leading them."

Fang's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. Jumping up, he whistled to the flock to get over.

"What's goin' on Fang?" chorused 5 voices, Total remained quiet.

"Tell them what you told me." Fang instructed turning to the girl. She raised her eyebrows. Fang felt heat rush to his face. "Please." She smiled.

"So me and Max were in study hall. She got caught drinking lemonade, and was sent to the office, right? Apparently, when she was in there, she found this, like, white-coat file on her. There was a picture of you guys and her and there was a sheet attached to it. The only problem was, it was in French. So Max sneaks out of the office and have me translate it. By the time I finish, she's pacing. I give it to her, but this voice comes on the loud speaker and it's Ari. Max sneaks me out a window so they don't kill me or…" she shuddered "Or turn me into an Eraser."

The flock's eyes were trained completely on her. Angel was the one who broke the silence. "How do you know all of this, when you are completely normal?"

The girl regarded her smoothly. "Max told me."

"What!" Iggy cried "You're totally normal and she just decides to tell you? Has she gone mad? "The girl whirled to face him.

"I've been here for here for the past 2 years when all of you have been gallivanting around. You abandoned her. What she decides to tell me is none of you damn business! All you need to know is that about 600 people at Malpath High School are being held hostage by your enemy and you are whining that I, a normal person, dare to know who you are."

Everyone was speechless.

"Mornin' Ari. What brings you to my school?" Max called as she strolled into the office. Ari stepped out from behind the desk, dragging the glorified phone awnsering Mrs. Lily with him.

"Hey Max." He growled in a guttural tone that did not match the fact he was only eight. Well then again, he's a half wolf eight year old. What makes sense about that? "Don't come any closer or the old lady gets it."

"She's hardly old Ari. I mean, yeah, I guess to an eight year old she's old but she's old, what? Forty?" I responded, strolling further in their direction. "Now your dad, he's getting on is his years isn't he?"

Ari threw Mrs. Lilly into the chair. "You're gonna pay for that Maximum Ride." He snarled.

Then we both lunged for each.
