CLOUD- A Maximum Ride Story

Chapter 1

CLOUD POV

I must stay alert. I told myself for what seemed like the 20th time. I did a backflip and brought my foot down hard on one of the threat’s neck. Then, I punched and kicked all around me with fury. They all went down like stones. That was when the two largest wolf like things grabbed me and brought me down. HARD. I quickly sucked in my breath in to just fell it get knocked out by pummeling fists. One of those made my head jerk towards the floor, then everything went black.

I was awakened to see two whitecoats roughly shove me into the crate. I fell backwards hitting my head onto the back of it. When the whitecoats left, I heard a small panicked voice come from the crate next to mine.

“Cloud?”

“What’s wrong?” I asked still holding the back of my head.

“Look” she said.

I automatically scanned the entire “room” as we called the four dirt walls that guarded us since we were underground. There was a new specimen where Still was pointing. It looked more like a little black dog than a human. But this “dog” was different. Little dogs don’t usually have little black wings. It eventually saw us staring at it. It stood onto its small legs and came to the front of its cage. Then it started TALKING.

“Do you mind telling me exactly where I am?” he asked. His voice sounded like a boy’s voice, so I assumed that it was a male. He saw us both openmouthed gawking at him, so he waved his front paw.

“Hello? Anyone there?”

“Um….you’re in the worst kind of after living life” I said shaking my head to recover from shock.

“So you are saying that I’m dead?!”

“No, no I am just saying that anyone would rather be dead than be here.”

“Oh.” he said and sat down. That’s when they came in.

I naturally started to panic. I felt Still shuddering in her crate. Whenever a bunch of whitecoats come into the room, it is NEVER a good sign. They saw the dog, and shifted towards him. That’s when I realized that I didn’t know his name. They were murmuring and, because I have better hearing than the average person, I managed to hear a bit.

“Are you sure that it is the thing we where looking for?” asked a thin, tall woman.

“If by “looking for” means to lure the Flock here, then you are right.” said a really fat man with English accent.

“Then a deal is a deal. You get the five of them, and I get specimen #13.” said the woman again. The others looked like they where just there to witness everything. I could hear Still whispering to herself. When the whitecoats left, I heard her sigh slowly to herself. I looked at the dog. He was crying so hard that he was trembling.

“What is you name?” I asked.

“My name is Total” he said shuddering.
