Max's POV

We were crossing California. You're probably thinking, Hey Max! Why are you going to California? That's where the School is. Well it was there but we ambushed it 3 months ago. Now we were figuring out where ter Borcht was. He escaped somehow. "Max! I'm hungry!" Nudge's voice wailed over the rush of the wind. We were flying over Malibu.

"K." I replied, my mouth dry. "Everyone land by that McDonalds." I pointed out. I swooped down feeling the cold summer air hit my face. It felt good. Iggy flew next to me. He landed gracefully on the gravel road which made a CRUNCH noise. Then Angel landed almost falling over. Then Gazzy came to my other side with Fang who skidded on his feet.

Nudge came crashing down behind me knocking me over onto my other foot. "Watch it!" I said. She looked partly dizzy. She held her head. "Wha'? Oh, sorry Max. Got distracted by something in the sky." She mumbled. Iggy grinned. "What? A cloud?" He laughed. She punched him in the shoulder. "Ouch! God, Nudge!" He said. I laughed.

We all went inside one by one. It was dark outside so seeing the bright lights everywhere stung my eyes. I walked up to the front counter where a girl in her mid 20's stood. "Hello. Welcome to McDonald's. How may I help you?" Her cheery voice droned out by the alarms beeping in the back. It was nerve-wrecking. We ordered our huge order and got out of there before the kids' saw the playground.

"Hey. Thanks Max." Gazzy said as I handed him my last hamburger while we flew again. I nodded too tired to talk. My wings ached, they felt as stiff as cardboard. I rubbed my temples and closed my eyes. Ahhh…I thought in my mind. Angel giggled slightly but I was too tired to yell at her. "Look! A hotel!" Total barked. I had barely noticed he was here. I opened my eyes and saw a hotel directly under us.

I headed down, the Flock following. The rest that happened was like a blur. It happened so fast and before you know it we were in two rooms. Fang, Nudge, and Me in one and Iggy, Angel, and Gaz in the other. We flipped a coin on who would get Nudge or Gazzy. Obvious reasons either way.

In our room there was a couch and a queen bed. I took the couch. We didn't have to take watches anymore, that was the good part about this. Nudge and Fang took the bed. (A/N: Not in a naughty way! God, people these days!) I fell onto the couch and looked at the ceiling. Everything was safe now. No Erasers, no School, and Jeb now lived with Mom so now I was safe. The Flock was safe.

I fell asleep slowly hearing the study voice of Nudge sleeping. Fang was reading. I don't know what but I could see the faint light of his lamp. And then I went into a dark blank world of nothingness. Then it turned white, blinding white. I covered my eyes. Then peaked through them. I was somewhere in a study place. It looked like a library. It was a library! I turned around to just see a door.

I turned back around and walked forward. Passing the aisles of computers, I looked through them occasionally seeing a person using one. I found myself looking at a row of books. I picked one up. Save The World, Max read the title. What? I picked up another book realizing this row had the same books. What did it mean?

I already saved the world! I ran to the door opening it, hoping for an answer. But there was just a blank room. Then out of a shadow, came ter Borcht. "Save The Vorld, Max." His accent strong. "What?" I spoke out. "How?" I asked. He grinned evily and then POOF, he disappeared. "How?" I cried out. Everything turning black.

"Max?" I heard. The voice sounded familiar. I opened my eyes seeing Nudge and Fang right there. Cold sweat poured over my face. "You were screaming again." Fang said blankly. I sat up looking around. Good I was awake. "Sorry to wake you up." I said not looking at either of them. I was still angry. Save the World, Max. What did that mean? I already did. I punched the side of the couch in frustration and ran to the bathroom.

I shut the door and stripped down. All I needed was to calm down with a nice, cold shower. Usually I liked warm ones but I was too hot. I jumped in quickly. I relaxed a bit when the water flowed over my body. I was thankful this shower wasn't glass because Gazzy came in. I looked out of the shower with only my head peeping out.

"Yes?" I asked. "Oh, well we don't have towels. Do you have some extras?" He asked, his blonde hair falling over his eyes. We really needed a haircut. All of us. "No. But why don't you call the lobby and send some up?" I brought my head back up. "Okay." He said and swiftly walked out.

I hurried my shower pouring the shampoo and conditioner in my hand. I had a habit of singing in the shower. I don't know why I just did. "Screaming Halle-lu-jah." I sang from the song Hallelujah by Paramore. I loved that song. I had their newest CD and that is my only CD I have. The Flock agreed on it. Fang recommended it. I'm glad he did.

I grabbed the towel pulling it into the shower and quickly wrapped myself into it. I stepped out and quickly got dressed. I put my wet hair into a ponytail and opened the door. "Are you feeling better, Max?" Nudge asked. Fang slipped into the bathroom. "Yeah, a little bit." I answered. I went to Fang's side of the bed and saw the book he was reading last night.

I grabbed it and saw the title, my eyes in shock. It was OUR book!
