(Max POV)

I was running, well flying really, away as fast as I could to get away from there, it was just too much.

Now I know what your thinking what is the Great and Powerful Maximum Ride running away from? A kiss 1 simple, smoochy smooch, on the lips and I'm out. If you don't know what I was talking about let me give you a few hints; Fang, cave, cliff, smoochy smooch, me running like Satan was after me.

So here I am flying at super speed with a tear stricken face trying to get as far from, well… everything so I could just think. Alone.

I started slowing down before I go another 3 states. Once flying normally I started to think about everything, the kiss, the school, the flock, the kiss, the kiss, the kiss.

*cheesy part warning* whenever Fang kissed me the second my lips touched his there was this feeling that I've never felt before, my stomach started knotting up and my heart felt like it was trying to break out of my chest. There was also something else that I don't really know how to explain it felt like nothing I have ever felt before in my life, something that was tossed between me and him through just touch. It felt sort of like…. Electricity just passed through me the second my lips touched his.

Cheesy I know she gave you a warning for a reason.

"Where am I," I thought aloud. Hmm I think I flew all the way to the middle of California by the look o-

I didn't get to finish that thought as something whizzed by my ear and not a split second later, unimaginable pain exploded from my left wing.

I let out a cry of pain as I fell to the ground, gaining speed every second. 'So this is how it ends, the great and powerful Maximum Ride, dieing from a little silver thing,'

As I was thinking that I hadn't noticed 2 things, 1. That my vision is fading out around the edges, and 2. There was a whole swarm of whatever penetrated my wing still flying above me, and if my raptor vision is right it looks like…. Humming birds?

That was the last full thought I had before I plunged into darkness and hit what felt like, water?

The last thing I heard was "MAX!"
