Reflection {Maximum Ride Fanfic}

Chapter 1 - Fellow Subjects In Trouble!

I smiled as I looked at the dress in the mirror. I had my wings hidden, and I had stolen a dress from a shop.

Shrugging, I spread my wings once more and flew away, not caring if anyone saw me. I looked at a flock of birds, well, normal birds, and smiled as I saw how free they were. I spread my arms and felt the sun's warmth hitting my skin.

I humming to myself as I danced in the air. I looked down and saw people taking pictures. Waving, I grinned as little kids pointed in awe as their parents nodded, smiling. I guess this wasn't a very fun filled town.

I quickly flew away, still humming. Closing my eyes, I remembered the horrible things I would no longer need to endure. Cheering quietly, I found myself nearing a mountain. And when I looked really closely, I could see "hidden" places, like a house.Nodding to myself, I flew down and landed next to a window of the house.

I looked at my reflection for a bit and frowned. My face was dirty, my left eye was still covered in bandages, and overall, I looked like I was being tortured all my life, which was my actual story.

Suddenly focusing on the people in the house, I found myself making eye contact with a blonde little girl who was eating something. She stopped talking and smiled at me. Smiling back, I waved slightly.

A tall girl with blonde hair looked at the little one before looking at the window. Ducking quickly, I held my breathe as I heard footsteps nearing the window.

As fast as I could, I spread my wings and flew off, breathing heavily.

I caught my breathe on the roof. I suddenly saw people leaving the house, smiling. I watched them until they were out of sight. Smiling, I snuck into the house and went to the bathroom.

There, I took a well deserved bath and washed everything. My face, my hair, behind my ear, you name it. Finally finishing, I dried myself and changed into one of the girl's dress. "Sorry." I muttered as I looked at my reflection.

"You have good taste, lady." I said, as if someone could hear me. I spun around a couple times before  slipping on some boots and walking into the kitchen.

"ANGEL!" I heard someone yell.

Standing up, I spread my wings once again and flew out the house. I looked around until I saw the same people getting beat up by erasers and my enemy.

Ari.

"Hey Dog breath!" I yelled, Once he turned back, I dropped down and kicked him in the face. Flying back up, I landed in front of the little girl. He growled, glaring at me. I smirked as I looked at him. "5 against about 7. I thought you were man enough to take them all by yourself, Ari." "Shut up!" He yelled. I laughed, staring at him. "Still can't take a joke, huh?" I asked.

"Get her!" Ari yelled.

Almost immediately, every one of those damned Erasers lunged at me. Looking back, I realized that they were all hurt, and there were two children. "Shit..." I muttered under my breath.

Just as they reached me, my wings made a shield in front of the 5 behind me and I took each blow.

Falling to my knees, I spit blood onto the ground. The Erasers backed away as a smirking Ari came forward until he was in front of me. "You shouldn't stick your nose in others business, Dove." He sneered.I looked up at him, then at the crying little girl.

Smiling, I stood up, my wings suddenly wrapping around the little girl. "Sorry, but we, um, 'Subjects', as the scientists called us, gotta stick together." I said, grinning at the people behind me. "Aww, so touching." Ari said, laughing. "Too bad your gonna get beaten down, Dove."

"I don't think so." I looked back, surprised as I saw someone with black hair pulled back into ponytail stand up. I heard Ari growl as two others stood up. Smirking, I looked back at Ari. Just as he was about to attack, I turned around and hugged the little girl.

I screamed as his claws dug into my back.

I heard someone scream and I felt myself blacking out. "Fly away." I whispered to the little girls as I let her go and fainted. I felt strong arms wrap around me and fly off, holding me.

That's the last thing I felt before I found myself fully knocked out.
