Today was supposed to be like any ordinary day since Max had disappeared. Right after Dr. Martinez had invited the entire flock to stay with her and had us enrolled in school, Max was taken.

Nothing was even out of the ordinary the night she was taken. Max was out on watch while the rest of us slept. Usually the slightest unusual noise would have woken me up. That night I didn't wake once. When I woke in the morning she was gone.

I missed her so much. Every day seemed like a year. Worst of all I had to live in the lie that I didn't think about Max every second of my day. Did I mention that Dr. Martinez was keeping us in school?

"Nick, hello, are you in there?" my friend Daniel asked waving his hand in front of my face. And yes, our fake names are back.

"Oh sorry, I was spacing out," I said blinked my eyes a couple of times. It was six months today since Max was taken.

Quickly I scanned the lunch room and noticed two people walking in. One was a guy who was about my height with dark brown hair. The other was a tall girl with brown hair with blond streaks. The girl had her arm around the boy and they walked in smiling.

"Holy sh-" Daniel started to swear when he saw the girl.

"Huh?" I asked him.

"Look at the new girl," He said and motioned over to where they were walking.

I looked back at the girl. When I was looking at them I didn't see their faces at first. Suddenly it all clicked when I looked at her again. "Max," I barely whispered.

Iggy, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with a confused look on his face. "What are you seeing that I'm not?" He asked me.

"Max is here," I said and stood up. Immediately Max and the guy she was with looked at me. "Fang," She mouthed.

I tapped the back of Iggy's hand twice. He stood up and followed me. We walked over to where Max and the other guy were standing in line.

"Fang, Iggy!" Max said when she saw us. While she was hugging us she introduced the other guy, "This is John, he's my, um, boyfriend."
