Maximum Ride Fanfic Chp.2

So here's chapter 2. Hope you like it. I know it's not as funny as the last one. It's a lot more serious though, which made it kinda hard to be funny. Comment on if you liked it or not, will ya? Oh, and tell everyone you know about the blog. Disclaimer: Once again, I do NOT own Maximum Ride. But Elizabeth and her friends are MINE! Take that! Anyways...

            “What do you mean, a ton different?” Nudge asked.

            “What I mean is, I didn’t always have wings. I used to be a regular kid. Then, one day ‘bout 5 months ago, my friends and I were walking home from Dunkin’ Donuts. It was Marie, Aaron, Bethany, Paul, Cheryl, Victor, and me. We were just walking and joking around and stuff, when all of a sudden huge werewolves with wings surrounded us. We tried to fight them, but we weren’t strong enough. They stuffed us in bags and took us to the School. We were put in cages and treated like lab rats. It was horrible. They did tests on us and everything. And every day at the exact same time they would inject the same horrible medications into us. This went on for about a month. Then one day I leaned back in my cage, and I felt something soft and feathery. I twisted around and just barely realized what was happening. The injections were full of bird genes. I had wings!

            “They had put our cages close enough for us to be able to talk. I told every one of my discovery, and they all had wings too!” Elizabeth paused to examine our reactions, and then continued.

            “We decided to try to break out. We decided that one of us would create a distraction, while the others escaped from their cages. I volunteered to be the distraction. When the others escaped, the scientists would forget about me, thinking I would stay in my cage. They would be right. It would be too risky to try to get me out of my cage there and then, so the strongest of my friends would carry the cage. Once we were far enough away, they would get me out and we would be safe. For the time being, anyway.”

            “What happened?” I asked. Elizabeth looked at me gravely.

            “There were only about 5 scientists in the room at the time. I started to scream and thrash and do anything to grab their attention. It worked. They all came running to see what was wrong. They wouldn’t want to screw up their precious experiment.” She gave a dark laugh. “While I carried on the others quietly picked the locks on their cages. Talk about old fashioned. Anyway, everything was fine up to that point. They flew up, and they started to shout at the scientists. The white coats ran to call for backup and Paul landed to get my cage. But instead of just picking my cage up like we had planned, he”— Elizabeth broke off.

            “He what?” Fang pressed.

            “I can’t blame him, he was just so happy to be free again. He tried to open the cage and let me out. We were all yelling at him to just pick up the cage already, but he wouldn’t listen. Then the scientists came back, with about 100 more. Paul had loosened the lock enough for me to bust out, but then the scientists got out huge nets made of some form of metal. They wouldn’t shoot anything at us, cause like I said they didn’t want to mess us up. Too late for that. Anyway, we all started to fly like bats out of you-know-where. There was a window on the other side of the room. Obviously, it was locked. I flew straight at it and don’t ask me how, cause I expected to just slam into it, but I managed to break the glass. I flew out, finally free. I don’t think you guys have any idea how awesome that felt, to finally be out in the open again, with my friends right behind me. At least, I thought they were right behind me. But when I turned around again, they weren’t there. I saw them through the broken glass of the window, in the net, caught again. I started to fly back for them, but they all shook their heads, like they wanted me to be free even if they couldn’t be. There wasn’t anything I could do. If I tried to save them I would just get caught again. I had to leave them.” Tears welled up in Elizabeth’s eyes, and I put my arm around her shoulder. Right then and there I made a spur of the moment decision.

“Elizabeth, we’re getting your friends back.”
