Summary: "I didn't know you had a sister." "Yeah, well, we don't talk about her much." I rolled my eyes and snorted. "I'm kinda the weird one of the family." Too bad they didn't know how weird I really was.

DISCLAIMER! I don't own Maximum Ride nor The Covenant.

Chapter 1

Max's POV

'Oh, God! Why am I here?'

For those of you who are just joining The Max Show, I'm Maximum Ride. I'm seventeen, tall and currently the new student at Spencer's Academy. Can't you just feel my excitement! I mean, who wouldn't be ecstatic about school, especially considering I have such a good track record with schools (refer back to the Virginia incident with Ann and the Red Head Wonder).

"OMG! Max isn't this awesome!" Ella shouted over the obnoxiously loud music. "I'm so glad that we'll be going to the same school now! And now you can meet all of my new friends! And you can meet Pogue and the other Sons! They're all so cool and hot! And we can go shopping together! And hang out! And paint each-" "ELLA STOP!" Jesus, she's as bad as Nud- okay, moving on.

"Ella you know that I don't like to do ANY, emphasis on the ANY, of those things! And you know that the only reason that I'm here is so that you can help Total "Keep me out of trouble" as Mom so nicely put it." I said adding "air quotes" when necessary.

She sighed. "Max, you're gonna have to have fun and live the rest of your life eventually. Why not start now? Plus with me, Total and Mom all in Salem, what could possibly go wrong? Besides, they would want you to be happy and have fun. So, loosen up a little, please, for me and them." Ouch, she bought up the Flock. That's still a painful subject for me and oh, jeez there goes that look! The big doe eyes with the 'You-just-killed-my-dog-and-now-you-must-repay-me' look. Resist Max, resist. Don't look at her! Not even a pe- Dammit!

"Fine! Just stop looking at me like that!" Sigh, she always gets me with that look. I wish An- never mind. It's hard to be upset and scowl at Ella when she's giving me her huge, beaming smile. I feel like my eyes are gonna melt from the intensity of the shine.

"Stop smiling at me you're hurting my eyes." She laughed, but at least I can see again. Well, relatively. The only light that I have around in a big bonfire, but everything else is dark because A.) I'm in a forest and B.) it's nighttime, duh! Thank you raptor vision! Oh, I didn't tell you did I? I'm an Avian American and proud of it! I'm 98 percent human and 2 percent avian. If you think that 2 percent is a tiny number, you would be shocked to see how much a person can change because of a measly 2 percent. Like, the fact that I have wings and can fly, is kinda a big deal and I think it's a pretty special trait to have. I mean, how many part bird people do you know? None. Yeah, that's what I thought.

"Max, are you even listening to me?" Ella, my sister, huffed. Oops, zoned out there.

"Yep." When all fails, lie your butt off.

Ells gave me a pointed look, she knew I was lying. "Really, then what did I just say?"

"Ummm..." Yeah that's me, real good with the words there, obviously.

"Wel-" "Hey, babe," a monster of a guy put his large meat claw on my sister's shoulder and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 'Who the hell is this?'

Okay, so I've had this idea in my head for a while and I finally got up to writing it! So, here's like the first exert of how the story's gonna be and if I get promising reviews, I will definitely continue writing this! I just wasn't really sure if people would read it so yeah. Review, please and thank you!
