Hey everyone that clicked on this story! Thank you so much already for taking the time to read my work. I am a new author on fanfiction but i have been reading fanfics for a while so sorry if my attempt at marginally okay stories disappoints you!
First off, I will accept
constructive advice but no 'flaming' because you might happen to be in a crappy mood!

Well, uh, enjoy (?)

Nudge POV:

Today started normal ... well as normal as a mutant bird-kid's life on the run can be! Wow i sounded insane there! Anyway i wasn't kidding about the mutant bird thing, or the on the run part, me and my family were taken as babies by evil, insane, crazy scientists who changed our DNA so we all have retractable wings. We grew up in a science lab - slash – prison called The School, where we were kept in dog crates. Until Jeb, a good scientist saved us and took us to a safe house and took care of us, taught us to fly... until he disappeared and then we all thought he was dead until four years when Angel was captured and we went to save her and suddenly Jeb turned up and turned out to be a bad guy.

Oh, i forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nudge, well really i think my real name's Monique 'cause i saw it on one of Jeb's old files ages ago but more on that later. The 'we' i was referring to earlier are my family; Max age 14, the leader, Fang age 14 the bird-dude who wears black ALL the time, Iggy at age 14 is our resident blind guy (the white-coats experimented on his eyes so he's blind now), The Gasman age 8 -don't ask why, just stay upwind- and Angel, age 6 who is Gazzy's (The Gasman) real younger sister. I fit there in the middle with no family members in the Flock and a slight (okay, a massive!) tendency to babble on about meaningless things!

After rescuing Angel, we went to New York when Max acquired a Voice in her head, and after a while rescued Total (our flying talking Scottie dog) from another school, then later Fang got injured by Ari (The School also created a combination of man and wolf who can morph from beautiful people who look like models into wolves at will called Erasers. Ari is an Eraser) and then Anne Walker came and we stayed in her house while Fang was healing and even went to real school! But then she turned out to be evil like almost everyone in our twisted life. So we split and hung 'round for a while before getting captured and escaping in a dramatic, dangerous way like we always end up doing.

But then Max invited Ari to come with us and Fang got mad, like worse than his usual scary I'm-gonna-kill-you kind of mad, we're talking i'm-gonna-kill-you-and-bring-you-back-to-life-a-thousand-times-so-i-can-kill-you-over-and-over-again kind of mad. And then he took off and we had to choose which person to go with, Max or Fang! Iggy and Gazzy went with Fang and Angel and I went with Max and Ari and snuck into Itex's big headquarters in Germany and then Max had to fight this other experiment called Omega but luckily she won. Then we escaped and met back up with Fang and his mini-flock.

It also turned out Max's mom was alive and Max had even met her before! Then us merry band of mutants went to stay at Dr. Martinez (Max's mom)'s house with Jeb dropping over occasionally, apparently now he was 'good'. I was slower than the others to trust him at first but I guess if everyone is okay with him now...

Anyway, on with my morning! I woke up and fell out of the bed in the small bedroom i share with Ella and Angel, when we stay over at Dr. Martinez's house in Arizona. I shuffled down to the kitchen to be met with Iggy and The Gasman leaning over a small pink watch with various different coloured wires coming out of it, saying 'No, the blue to the green and the red to yellow, unless you want to be blown to Timbuktu!'

'Guys... It's too early in the morning to be planning your latest bomb or explosive device! Iggy, can i have pancakes for breakfast and maybe some golden syrup... do you ever wonder where golden syrup came from and why we ever invented it, why don't we have purple syrup or pink syrup 'cause that would look so much nicer and prettier with-'

A hand was slapped over my mouth by Iggy, with surprisingly good aim considering he's blind, and a deep voice coming from the living room saying, 'Lunch. It's one in the afternoon. You slept in,' well that's Fang for you... very short sentences 24/7.

It was then that i realised everyone was dressed except for me... Oops!

I peeled Iggy's thin, long, sensitive fingers away from my mouth and before i could start a long commentary on Fang's nine words, Angel wandered into the kitchen holding Total, who was wearing what looked suspiciously like the new hair clips that i bought last week in his hair (what?!), and said, 'Nudge, Jeb's here and he says get dressed 'cause he has big news and wants everyone to hear it ... especially you.'

My heart jumped in my chest and started beating so fast that i was surprised no one commented on it, i raced upstairs so fast i was practically a blur and for once i didn't care if i arrived down there naked I was in such a hurry, i grabbed a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a pink Abercrombie polo top, tried to run a brush through my unruly and impossibly frizzy brown hair which i absolutely hate but then I gave up before i broke the fourth brush this month and instead pulled it up into a messy bun.

It had been three months since I'd secretly asked Jeb to start trying to locate my real birth parents and i had almost given up hope that they would be found, but now maybe...

No! I tried to stop myself from getting too worked up telling myself it could just be a mistake that Jeb had pacifically mentioned me and it was probably nothing to do with my birth parents and this was just a stupid over-reaction and i was about to be bitterly disappointed. But i raced down the stairs so fast i missed the last step and didn't register the magazine I'd left at the top of the stairs yesterday, tripped, tumbled down the stairs and then went flying through the air and prepared to meet the ground instinctively throwing out one arm to catch myself...

Then gravity kicked in and I landed hard on the floor with my right wrist outstretched at an angle and, CRACK was the loud sound my wrist-bone made as it broke. I immediately doubled over in pain clutching my wrist close to my body as i screamed with the pain, trying desperately not to cry. I had broken bones loads of times but this felt like the worst break in a while and i could already feel the blood begin to soak my shirt as the bone had broken skin.

Fang and Iggy ran over and Fang lifted me onto the couch, the expensive white leather couch, Iggy picked my arm up and started to feel the broken part with his particularly sensitive fingers. I screamed out in pain even louder, even though i knew he was being as gentle as he could be. Jeb ran over and put a big glass of something to my lips and told me to 'drink it all quickly now', so i gulped it down really quickly.

After i did i immediately knew that something was wrong, i could taste the drug in the liquid and started to thrash and shake, i wrenched my wrist out of Iggy's hands and started screaming and flailing around, i couldn't control myself or any part of my body and i couldn't see properly, it was like looking through a glazed window. Overall, it felt like someone was controlling me and trying to fight off the sedative that was slowly threatening to knock me unconscious.

I heard Gazzy and Angel screaming with fear as they had no idea what was happening to me, Iggy swearing as he tried to restrain me while i had some sort of scary fit and Fang yelling at Jeb demanding to know what exactly he had put in the drink. Apparently Max had come back from dropping Ella off at a friend's house because i faintly registered the sound of the front door opening and Max's gasp of alarm as she took in the scene unfolding before her eyes.

I started to slow down and my movements became more sluggish as the full effect of the drug took place. I slumped into the comfy leather of the couch and let the oncoming blackness take hold of me, i could feel the pain of my wrist begin to fade and suddenly i was gone, into the dark void of unconsciousness.

Well.... What do you think....? Please review!
Hopefully there will be another chapter up next Saturday or Sunday if people review.
Umm... thanks for reading and PLEASE let me know what I can do to improve
