Author Note- So those coming from "Forgotten", I'm soo sorry. I meant to post "Lost Among Strangers" first, but I was writing it, and I hated it! Bleh! It was so nasty! I was ashamed… :( okay! Enough ranting. I'm posting this cause I felt better about this chapter. :) it's soo not as good as the epilogue of Forgotten, but it will have to do for now. Please R&R! :)
Project Malpath High
Chapter 1
Max slammed the Eraser into the wall.
"Now, Why don't we try this again." She hissed, low and dangerous into his ear "Tell me which section my flock is in." The Eraser let out a guttural growl.
"Try me you stupid bit-" It was cut off by Max sucker punching it.
"Swearing is for naughty public school kids. Tell me now, or I snap your neck and go find out on my own." Max snarled, wholly meaning it.
The Eraser remained stubborn, so Max kept her word. Moving past the room with the now dead Eraser, she slid into the first corridor she saw. Empty cages covered the floor wall to wall. "Not here then." Stepping back into the hallway, she was greeted by 3 Erasers. "Oh fun." Max breathed, followed by some elaborate cursing that would have made a truck driver blush. The Eraser let out a wolfish grin.
"Still never broke you of that public school habit, huh? It's been 2 years you know." He drawled, or maybe it was a she… Max didn't know.
"Yeah well, old habits die hard. Like, ya know, running?" Max turned and sprinted pell-mell down the corridor, Erasers following close behind. Max went skidding around a corner, sliding past pale blue doors and white nameplates. The Eraser must have thrown something, because a sickening pain shot through her head. She stumbled, but righted herself quickly. Ducking through an archway, Max pulled up short when she saw her flock, on the other side of a glass wall, about a yard down. The Erasers appeared behind her. She grabbed the front one's wrist, and swung him around…
…right through the mirror. Jumping in after the now unconscious Eraser, Max ninja rolled and stood up right in front of the flock, all who were looking mighty impressed.
"Hey kids!" She called cheerily to her flock, who most had snapped out of their shock induced state. She reached over and hit Fang's restraints, knocking the bolt holding him away. He leapt up and went to unbuckle the others while Max picked up where she left off with the Erasers. She glanced at Fang. "Fang!" she called "We need that data!" Fang glanced around.
"You go get it." He said, hitting an Eraser hard with a tray. "We'll hold up here. Meet us outside, out front in 20." Max nodded her affirmative, and finished off the Eraser before turning and slipping into the tech room.
"Hybrids….hybrids, hybrids…" Max mumbled to herself as she scrolled through the files. "Banana Plantations…Itex…Rossum Corp., Malpath High?" Max stopped as she read that file name. The name brought back memory rush. A blonde hair girl and two golden brown haired boys…An oversized, underfunded high school…summer and soccer games… Max glared at the screen and clicked the file. In green lettering it read-

Jamie laughed and hugged Rose, her best friend. At least, that's what she told herself. Her best friend was gone. Jamie shook her head to clear it. Now was not the time to be dwelling on the past. She twirled in the mirror. A long, shimmering green dress rippled around her. "Floor-Length Gowns" read the sign above where she had pulled all six of the dresses. This beautiful green one was just one, but not the right one. Tugging on the next one in the stack she stepped and nearly stumbled. The girl looking back at her was stunning. The dress was a strapless floor length one that hovered just above the ugly carpeted ground. It was a deep chocolate brown with gold sequins sewn in various places. There was a thin veil coving the actual silk, with was occasionally threaded with gold or a navy blue thread. She was standing in gold heels with hot chocolate colored straps. Even her messy blonde hair that was pulled back in a terrible bun seemed to radiate beauty in this dress. She could tell on the faces of Rose and Ben, her boyfriend, that she looked like an angel. It was perfect.
It was perfect for graduation.

Short, essentially pointless, just an introduction to the storyline. Again, sorry for doing sequel then prequel, but I hated my first chap of the prequel. Again, please R&R! :)
Love and Essentially pointless chapters,
