Wings of Freedom

Chapter 1

Hello! :0 This is my first crossover, though not my first story. For those who don't know what a crossover it, a crossover is when someone (the author) takes two different books and combines them. Take this story for an example. I took Twilight and crossed with Maximum Ride. You'll have to read it to fully get the idea of it. I haven't read either series recently, so keep that in mind. though I AM halfway through the Angel Experiment at the moment. Please read and review!

PrincessJuliet: Why do I have to say it?

Harmony: Because it's considered stealing and wrong.

PrincessJuliet: (sighs) Fine. I do not own Twlight or Maximum Ride. Even though I REALLY wished Seth was mine.

Harmony: You have me!

PrincessJuliet: Sorry Harmony, Seth is better... Please enjoy the story anyways! :)

Chapter 1

Harmony's POV

I had to keep running, or they would catch us. Flynn, who was in my arms, whimpered in fear and closed his eyes, burring his face in my neck. Howls became louder. They would hear and smell our fear; it excited them. I shifted Flynn to one arm and reached for Willow's small hand with the other. "Come on Sweetie. Keep running, they can't catch us if we keep running."

I could see the fear in her wide eyes. The hunter's howls slowly got farther away, but we didn't stop. It could still be a trap. Hopefully, the pouring rain will cover our scent instead of making it stronger, like I feared.

"H-Harmony… I'm tired, I can't go any farther." Willow gasped, tugging on my hand while slowing down. I could feel myself slowing down as well. My brain rebelled against this action. But my body had decided not to listen to my brain.

My muscles ached painfully; it felt like I had a giant Charlie-horse, but all over my body. Of course, considering my life, I have been in worse pain. My pounding head didn't help my mood either. I continued walking, studying my surroundings; I was in a forest, but that was all I could tell you. Having living under a city in a secret lab that did terrible things for the beginning of my life, made my overall knowledge very small. Thank God for that girl- Max, I think her name was- who rescued me and as many as they could. If they hadn't, I would still be living in a dog cage being experimented on, or in other words, tortured. Max had even asked if I had wanted to join their flock, and I nearly did. But they seemed so close and I didn't want to ruin that. Plus, I felt like there was something I had to do.

At last! I had found what I was searching for; a big enough tree for all of us to sleep in. Luckily for us, the rain had stopped. I helped the little ones into lower branches before climbing up and joining them myself. I always put them first. They were my world, my only family. When we were high enough for me, I helped Flynn and Willow get settled. I rubbed Willow's back around her wings- the place was one of her soft spots.

There is a reason why we spent most of our lives in labs- and not the good kind. Is there even a good kind? Probably not. The three of us were mutants. We were born, made this way. The white-coats experimented with different kinds of DNA and mixing it. Willow and I were 98% human and 2% Avian hybrid. In other words, we were humans that had wings and really thin, hollow bird bones. You might wonder if we could use those wings, and oh yeah, we could. Probably the coolest and best thing ever- well, except not being in a cage. My wings had a wingspan of 13 feet. Willow's were smaller since she was younger, but they were still big; a 9 foot wingspan is still big. Both our wings were solid white, though Willow's wings showed signs of changing color in the future. Probably get some brown in it. We were able to fold our wings tightly against our backs to hide them under a shirt or a jacket.

Flynn was another story altogether. He was 94% human, 3% lizard and 3% bat. I seriously don't know what they were thinking when they created him. Flynn had scales on his chest, arms and back. His nails were sharp and pointy, along with his teeth. On his back were wings that looked like bat wings. They had about a 7 foot wingspan. I didn't know if he would be able to fly with those wings, there was never time to see. I hoped that he would one day fly. It would make traveling easier, but also because he really wanted to be able to fly. He also had a scaly tail that had tiny spikes. It shot out from his back under his wings. Flynn was able to hide his wings like us. His tail he was able to wrap around himself like a belt. I know he didn't like doing that, but he always tried to be strong for his sister and me.

It was sad how they could actually do this to us. They had taken us from our homes when we were babies and "played" with our DNA. Well, I don't know if I had a family, but Flynn and Willow did. I even saw them before they were changed. I had started crying silently. Flynn was a newborn and the time and Willow had been two. They are the only ones in our tiny "flock" at the moment that were actually related by blood. I would always consider them my family, no matter what. Sometimes when I looked at them together, I would miss Melody; my twin sister. She was the reason why were able to escape the second time. She didn't make it out with us. I was torn between wishing that she was still alive and that she was dead. But my gut feeling that she was still alive, out there somewhere.

That night I slept fitfully. What would happen is the Erasers come back? I know that they always came back, never tired, always lusting for our blood. But would they come back during the night or would we have time in the morning to get a better lead on them. We were trapped in a tree and I didn't look forward crossing paths with them while we were in the tree and they were on the ground. But then again, what choice do we have? I mused before settling in my branch and closed my eyes. I shivered. It was getting cold quickly. I grabbed my pack from a nearby branch. Pulling out some old blankets, I proceeded to tuck around Willow and Flynn. I kept only one for myself along with my other jacket. Now a little warmer, my body relaxed and it was difficult to stay awake, someone needed to keep watch. My stomach growled. We will find some food in the morning in the nearest town. I'll wake Willow and Flynn in an hour or so and then we'll be on our way again. I thought before I fell asleep, the sounds of the forest my lullaby.

Well, what do you think? I know a secret way for you to tell me... its called... wait for it... REVIEWING! :) I don't care if you think its really good or really bad. Tell me what you think!

(PS. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm just copying the chapters from my fanfiction account and posting them here...)
