Chapter 3: The beginning of everything

So here is the story of how Max and Jeb came to an understanding, which is one way to put it I guess. Tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Flashback

*Jeb's point of view

I was driving back to one of the Schools that held my office. I had to go back to the School because I had left some of my research in my office and I needed it so that I could do some work from home the following week. As I drove the car around the curve that allowed me to see the School I was met with a huge surprise. The great tall buildings that once stood proudly there to greet me were now foreign rubble. There were piles and piles of it everywhere I looked. The area that used to surround the buildings were burnt to a crisp and you couldn't even tell what once stood there. One thing that I grimaced at was the pile of corpses that was in the middle of all the rubble. Whoever killed all the scientist and erasers and just about everyone who had worked there seemed to have done a thorough job of it as I looked at how many people were piled together.

As I got out of the car to look for survivors I felt a hand grabbing at my throat ramming me against my car and cutting off my circulation. I looked up to see my attackers face and was shocked. It was Max but at the same time it wasn't. The Max I knew didn't have red eyes and she wouldn't have attacked me like this girl did now. This girl had such a dark and threatening aura around her that I felt faint just by being at such close proximity. I was certain from this aura that it was this girl who had turned the buildings into rubble and had killed everyone in just the thirty minutes that I was away from the School. I was about to ask her about her identity when she asked, "Are you going to try and get rid of me or use me as well?" I was shocked. This couldn't be. I knew that voice. It all matched the description of the sweet girl that I raised back when the Flock and I lived together.

"Max? Is that you? Did you do all this?"

"And what if I did huh? Do you want me to be an experiment for you as well because if you do I can just use you as an example of how I destroyed all these buildings!" when she said all this her face started to look scary. She had started to smirk and had a wild look in her eyes.

"No Max you don't have to do anything. Just tell me what happened. Why did you do this and where's the Flock?"

"Don't you dare mention those traitorous creeps to me!" she screamed her eyes full of anger and disgust. "They sold me off to the School! They told me that I wasn't needed anymore since it didn't seem like I was about to save the world anytime soon and that they were getting tired of wasting their time with me! So they tricked me and put sleeping pills into my food and brought me here. They woke me up to tell me not to look for them and that I was better off being used as an experiment to you stupid lab coats!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Why would the Flock do this to Max? She was their leader, their parent and their Mother Teresa. They should have had no reason to kick her out. I looked at the Max standing before me now and realized that she needed to get away from here and away from all the memories of her old Flock. When I saw her I realized that science isn't always correct and that we had to consider emotions as well when we dealt with living creatures. I knew it was partially our fault for not taking into consideration of how long it would take to save the world and that the Flock may not have enjoyed each others company. It was then that I decided that I would take care of her from now. I would make sure that she wouldn't have to face this type of betrayal ever again and that she accomplished the task she was born to do.

"Max," I said reaching towards her, "Come with me and I'll make sure that you'll get your revenge on the Flock and that you save the world. I'll make sure that none of the erasers and scientists ever come looking for you again. I'll help you find a better and more reliable Flock that you would be able to trust your life with and best of all I'll help you get rid of all the people who ever plan on doing experiments on people ever again. What do you say? Can you trust me one more time and come with me?"

I looked at her hoping that she knew that this was her last resort. If she didn't take this offer, Schools from around the world would team up to squish her like a bug. What Max needed at this moment was a strong support and this one was the only one she might get.

"Max?"

"…Yes… please help me."

I smiled and took her hand and dragged her into my car. The moment I did this I knew that there was no going back and for some reason I didn't regret it one bit. All I could think about at the moment when I took in the destruction Max had caused I knew that we were going to make the old Flock pay dearly for hurting Max.
