Max POV

The really horrible thing about dreaming is that you don't know you're dreaming until the really horrible thing happens that you know you can do nothing about. Like when you start to fall off a building. You are hit with that insane panic that you are gonna die and then all of a sudden you realize that this couldn't be happening but for some strange reason it is.

I woke up suddenly, sat up too fast and had to lay back down again. I had images still playing in the back of my mind. Lost wings. Trying to break free. Falling. Falling. Falling. All lost. My flock. Suddenly I realized where we were. The cabin. Safe. Finally. I looked around and saw the flock all crowded around me. Their faces were pale and afraid. "Max, max, calm down, it's okay. It was just a dream." Angel, her sweet little voice next to me. I looked brave for the flock.

"I'm okay guys, really. I just had a dream, that's all," I said.

"Max..." It was Fang. He looked at me with such concern I nearly told them all. But I swallowed it.

"Really, I'm o.k." I said. "I'm just gonna take a short flight."

I got up and walked out of the room. I could feel all their eyes follow me as I left, but I ignored it. Outside the air was crisp and fresh. The sun was just bellow the horizon, turning the sky sort of white-ish blue. I launched myself into the sky with three powerful thrusts, clearing the nearby trees by far. The wind was cold on my face but I ignored it. I flew higher and higher, flapping toward the sunlight, wakening the world. I tried to forget the dream with every stroke of my wings. Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. Falling. Falling. Falling. No, stop, I told my self. Forget it. It's just a dream.

But it isn't just a dream Max. The voice, also known as Jeb.

Go away.

Max, you know you can't not tell them forever. They will need to know someday. You cannot run away from these dreams either. They will catch up with you if you don't accept what you must do.

"Why the heck should I care about what you want me to do?" I shouted to the air.

Max, you know this isn't just about what I want you do. This is about what the whole world needs you to do. Itex isn't gone. They have a new director. She will destroy the world Max. You need to stop her. Listen, the erasers are coming, Max. You cannot hide forever. Find the HQ of Itex. They must be stopped.

"What if I don't care? What if it doesn't matter anymore? What would you know? You're sitting at home typing on a laptop and drinking starbucks for heavens sake!! What would you know?" I was screaming at the top of my lungs now, into the empty air. Nothing answered me. Good.

I heart wing-beats behind me. I swerved around, then relaxed. It was Fang. He didn't say anything for a while. He just flew alongside me. I dipped down to land at my favorite place, A tiny meadow hidden among the trees with a small stream trickling through it. I landed softly and sat down on a rock. Fang landed next to me. He watched me. I spoke, "It was Jeb. He says Itex is back. That the erasers are back." He was silent.

"We don't have to, you know. We don't have to do it."

"I know," I said," but really we do. The erasers will find us sometime. We'll be back where we were."

"Oh, Max…" he leaned toward me, stroked my hair softly.

"No, Fang we can't…" but I had already leaned towards him, falling into his sweet kiss.

We broke apart. Then the erasers hit.

Sooo, please r&r and I would be really really happy.
