Max P.O.V.

The Flock was flying over New York, when we stopped for the night. Fang, Iggy, and I set up camp, while Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel went and 'bought' food. We were hidden in the woods, I was sure that erasers couldn't find us, so I took the risk of starting a cooking fire. Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy returned from their 'shopping' trip, and found that they forgot to buy cookies. Chocolate chip cookies were an important part o Flock life, after we visited Dr. M and Ella. I went off to aquire some Chocolate Chip cookies, leaving the Flock. Worst mistake ever.

Line Break

When I came back the Flock was looking at me sorrowfully.

"What's wrong guys?"

Angel looked up at me with tears in her eyes "Max, do you promise to take Total and me wherever you go? And to never leave me?"

"I promise to try Ange why?"

"Max..." Fang looked at me the way he looked at Jeb, and Ari. "You need to go. You can take Angel and Total with you, but go."

"What? Why"

"Your chip." Said Fang

"What? I had it removed! You can't-"

"Max you're outnumbered."

"Who's with me?"

"I am." said Angel

"I am." said Total

"I am." said Gazzy

"So it's three on four." I said.

"So your other three are small. We can still kill them."

"You're not really my family. I can't believe that I ever thought so. I hate you. I want you to die at the hands of Ari."

Nudge gasped. Iggy looked shocked. They both started crying. Fang looked at me with surprise written all over his face. I had rendered him speechless. I held in my whahoo though. "Come on guys." I said, turned and flew away, with Angel, Gazzy, and Total close behind.

Line break

"Max, there's a farm down there. Can we stop for the night?"

"Sure Gazzy" I said.

We flew down to the farm, and on entering, we saw that it wasn't a farm, but a camp. There was a U made of cabins, and as we landed kids came out and ran up to us.
