Hey world! I had a dream about this and wanted to put it down on paper. Err I suppose computer anyway it's my first MR story. Some stuff you need to know for this story…

Fang and Max never happen….. the books not the characters

Little teen violence but nothing to bad

Some teen swearing

And Flock ages,

Max, Fang and Iggy- 15

Nudge- 12

Gazzy-9

Angel-7

Basically everything in the books happened in this story except in Max and Fang.

Hope you guys like the story!

I felt a sharp pain in my head as I was shoved, backwards into a locker. My name is Felicia and I am getting my ass kicked.

Don't fight back just try and protect yourself. They'll get tired eventually.

"We told you to stay the hell out of our school you freak!"

Don't respond, stay calm. Deep breath in and out.

"Cat got your tongue? Let me help!" my tormentor screamed as he punched me in the mouth. I went down to the floor and spat out some blood as they laughed. As I stated before, I was currently getting jumped. Why would someone want to jump a 15-year-old sophomore? I don't know, I guess I just have that face. Actually I was getting whooped because the last 3 times I was jumped by Steven and his gang I was told not to come back. Stubborn me, I want an education.

"Loser," said Steve as he kicked me in the stomach and left with his pack of cackling hyenas. I lay on the floor and accessed myself for damaged. I had a lump on my head, a split lip and a bruised stomach. With a shudder I slowly got to my feet. It was 4:00 and I had to get home before they came back. I hated that son of a bitch... Ever since I refused to be one of his, let's just say "wenches", he decided to make my life hell.

"C'mon Felicia what would Max do?" I thought. "She'd probably kick Steven's ass."

That's another thing about me. I LOVE Maximum Ride beyond anything in the world. I love the humor, drama, action and Max's confidence. The Flock's bravery is what helped me get through life.

"Except they aren't real." I thought gloomily.

I walked for several more minutes before I reached my "home". What it really was, was an abandoned old building that nobody used and was boarded up. I think it used to be some kind of real estate place or something. You see my folks died when I was a toddler. Since we had no other family I was put in many foster homes. I hated them so much that when I was 11, I ran away. I was homeless for a while till I found this place. I think it used to have a small apartment above the real estate place 'cuz there was stuff like a bathroom, a kitchen and even an old couch. A.k.a, my bed. For some reason the city still provided electricity for the place but never checked on it. Hey, their loss is my gain. I fed and clothed for myself by doing odd jobs like mowing yards, raking leaves, delivering chicken to fat, old men. I get by okay but the lack of bills definitely help. I put my bag down and shuffled over to the couch. As I settled down for the night, I pulled out my copy of The Angel Experiment. I reread a few pages before going to sleep.

"I wish the flock was real" I thought

Then the world exploded in a flash of purple light. I dropped the book in surprise as I realized it was the source of the light. It was so blinding that I could barely see. As I squinted I saw 6 figures appear from nowhere.

That's when I blacked out.
