Fang was never with the flock. He was at a different school and never escaped. What happens when the flock is captured and taken to the school where Fang is kept?
Not really set on or after any of the books yet.

Seven Deadly Sins
When I woke up from being knocked out I realized I was in a cage. Gee, that surprised me. Could they not find something a little more comfortable?
As I looked around at the cages around me, I was able to make eye contact with the rest of my flock. They were all already awake and staring at me. Creepy much?
"Is everyone okay? Have they taken anyone yet?" I asked hoping that everything was hunky-dory!
"Yeah, everyone's fine and none of us were taken that we know of. If they did then we were asleep." Angel answered already knowing the answer to everyone's replies.
I let out a thankful sigh of relief.
Max, two erasers are coming and they have two people with them. Angel alerted me through thought.
I was about to ask her who was with the erasers when the doors swung open. Two morphed erasers walked in dragging along a kid that looked to be my age. They had the boy in handcuffs and his wings…hey, he had wings like us…his wings were wrapped tightly to his body by some kind of thick fabric. He wasn't really wearing a shirt unless you counted the thick fabric that was restricting his wings a shirt. He was wearing a pair of pajama looking plain baby blue pants that had blood spatters on them. He had longish black hair and pale skin. He looked horrible. He was unbelievably skinny, he had huge circles under his eyes, and he had bruises everywhere. After seeing that kid, I was a little scared of what these people could do.
"Put him back." The whitecoat that trotted behind the erasers ordered.
The boy looked lifeless as if he had no emotions. It was kind of eerie. Just then his eyes came to life, still staying stoic at the same time, they flickered accusingly to Angel's cage. Angel looked frightened.
The boy started struggling and fighting against the erasers. I wanted nothing more than to assist him, but seeing that I was locked in a cage, it proved to be rather impossible. The boys struggling didn't do much other than scrape the erasers long claws against his vulnerable skin.
"Stop that immediately you insulate thing!" The scientist shouted. I clenched my fists at the thought of the boy being a THING.
At his words the boy stopped struggling and he instead stared impassively right into the whitecoats eyes. The whitecoat began to fidget uncomfortably. The erasers continued to put the boy in the cage. Once in the cage, the whitecoat bent down to his level and whispered something to him. The boy spit on him. Haha you go dude. The whitecoat didn't think it was as funny as I did though and he pulled some kind of metal stick looking thing out of his huge scientist coat. He then shoved it through the one of the holes in the boy's cage. When it made contact with him it was quite obvious that he was being electrocuted. The kid didn't even make noise that would hint he was in pain.
"Stop!" I shouted not even caring about the consequences.
After a few more seconds the whitecoat turned the stick off and the boy collapsed to the bottom of his cage. The man started towards my cage and just stood in front of it.
"You're not the boss here Max. I am." The whitecoat thankfully didn't care enough to try his electrical stick out on me.
After that the whitecoats and eraser's both left the room. Finally, they were starting to make me pretty nervous.
The boy was now breathing hard and sitting in an upward position against the side of his cage. Once again his eyes grew aware and they darted to Angel accusingly. All of a sudden Angel screamed.
"Hey! What did you just do to her? Angel are you okay?" If that boy somehow hurt her I was going to rip out his jugular.
"Yeah, he just yelled really loud in my thoughts and I got a headache." She complained.
I whipped around to face the boy. "Why did you do that?"
"Keep her out of me head." He said in a raspy voice.
I turned back towards Angel. "Angel, please don't poke around in his brain anymore." Angel nodded and all was well in the world.
After a moment of silence I spoke up. "So what's your name?" I asked the boy.
He didn't answer me. This kid was pretty rude.
Max, he doesn't have a name. Angel's thoughts told me.
Didn't we just talk about you not poking around in his head? I asked her in my 'I'm older than me and you need to listen to me' voice.
I wasn't. He told me. I can't just stop reading people's minds, but I don't have to go prodding in them for information.
Well okay whatever, but why don't we give him a name?
Yah, can I pick it!!!?? Angel screamed excitedly in my head.
"Angel, watch it would ya." Gosh that girl could scream.
"Sorry. Hey, guess what boy?!" Angel said to him happily.
The boy turned in her direction, his face placid.
"I'm going to pick your name for you. And I was thinking, I'm sorry I was poking in your mind, but I did find something to help me name you!" She said happily.
"Spit it out Angel." Iggy said. Whoops I didn't know they were even awake. He, Nudge, and Gazzy looked like they were asleep.
"Fang!" She said clapping her hands happily.
The boy gave her a curious look and then a small grin lit his face. He seemed to understand the name, but I on the other hand was quite clueless.
"Why Fang?" I asked her.
She put her finger to her lips and smiled evilly at me. "It's a secret." She giggled out.
I rolled me eyes. "Whatever. Hey guys let's get some sleep, we don't know how long we'll get to sleep so get some shut eye." I told them. I noticed how Fang's eyes had started to open and close. He was obviously exhausted and I didn't want us to be the reason he couldn't get any sleep.
"Max!" I woke up to the sound of my baby screaming for my help.
At that instant everyone became alert. Angel was being taken out of her cage and carried away by an eraser.
"Leave her alone!" I screamed desperately as loud as I could. "Angel use your mind control!"
"Max I can't." She cried out with tears streaming down her face. "It doesn't work in this building."
I watched as they took her from me. She was out of sight now. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't do anything.
That's when I heard crying in the cage across from mine and the one next to mine. It was Nudge and Gazzy.
"Guy's calm down okay, Angel will be fine. She's a strong little girl." I was more trying to reassure myself than anyone.
After about twenty minutes an eraser and a scientist returned with Angel. She was unconscious, but there wasn't a single scratch on her. They were actually pretty gentle about laying her in her cage.
"Okay, now for the other one." The scientist said to the eraser.
At first I thought they would go for Gazzy because other one to me meant sibling to Angel, but I was wrong. Instead the eraser got on a radio he had strapped to his hip and called for two others.
They showed up in a matter of seconds. I noticed that Fang was crouched and ready to spring out like a tiger if his cage were opened. One of the erasers slowly started to unlock Fang's cage and the second it was open, Fang leapt on top of him and started pounding him. It didn't last long though because soon after the other two erasers had him pinned to the ground, the third joined them once he recovered from the blows.
"Okay…here we go." The scientist said as he withdrew a syringe with a lightly blue tinted liquid in it.
Fang's eyes grew wide and the first sign of emotion I had scene on him since we got here showed a little bit in eyes. It was panic and anxiety. He started to struggle, but was only restrained harder.
The whitecoat lowered the hypodermic to Fang and inserted the needle into the side of his neck. I watched as Fang's struggling slowed down to a stop and his eyes closed.
"What did you just do?" I asked angrily.
The whitecoat turned towards me and the rest of the flock who was looking at the scene through the bars of their cages like me. "Watch." He said with a grin.
The erasers were holding on to Fang even tighter now, hard enough that the claws had started to draw blood again. All of a sudden Fang's body jerked violently enough to make the erasers struggle to keep hold on him and then he went still again.
"Do NOT let go." The whitecoat demanded.
Fang's body jerked again, but this time after the jerking stopped his eyes shot open and his breathing became erratic. The whitecoat instantaneously drew another syringe, this time with a clear liquid inside and penetrated Fang's skin with it before he could move.
Fang's eyes fluttered shut again and he remained still.
"Good, now go fetch the restraint table. I want these kids to see what it is we're doing." The whitecoat said wickedly.
But why did he call us kids and not Fang. Maybe Fang was just on his bad side.
"Please stop hurting him." I heard a small voice whimper out. I looked to my left and Angel as sitting there once again awake.
"Oh. Did you go searching through its mind? I see, well then there is something you should know. This thing is not like you or me. It has no feelings and no way to show emotion. It's a monster. It can kill and feel no remorse. It can go through unimaginable pain and it won't utter anything more than a whimper or a grunt." The man paused and sighed in a disappointed way. "It would be the perfect weapon if it wasn't so rebellious. None of our threats work. It's a nuisance."
"Sir." Once of the erasers said to get the demonic man's attention as he stood there with a metal table with metal restraints attached to it.
"Fasten him in." The whitecoat ordered.
"Stop." Angel whimpered again as tears began to stream from her eyes.
"Angel it's okay. He'll be okay." I tried to assure her.
"No Max he won't. They plan on using a chemical reaction between that bluish liquid and a green liquid that they haven't used yet, to do something to Fang. They're trying to create the seven deadly sins Max. He'll be wrath." Angel sounded hysterical and really upset.
I wanted to calm her and tell her that everything was going to be okay, but I honestly didn't know. And what was this about the seven deadly sins? That didn't make any sense to me. I mean to start there were only six of us including Fang, so I wasn't to sure how this was going to work.
Max, no one in the flock is a sin, just Fang. The others are already made and out there somewhere. Angel said answering m thoughts.
"Here we go." Fang was already strapped in and was still unconscious. The whitecoat stuck the needle into Fang's arm and watched as the yellow liquid was forced into Fang's system.
At first nothing happened. Then the atmosphere turned dense and a kind of anger and fear took hold of me. Fang's eyes shot open and revealed crimson red eyes instead of his usual black ones.
His facial impassiveness was the same, but his eyes were made of pure rage and the aura around him spelled out doom.
"It was a success!" The whitecoat said gleefully.
Fang started to fight against his restraints and after a small while we could hear the sound of metal cracking.
The scientists face turned to horror. "Wait, no, this can't-" he never finished his sentence because before he could Fang had ripped through the restraints and had grabbed at the whitecoats neck and snapped it effortlessly. The two erasers ran off before anything could be done to them.
That left Fang standing in the middle of the room. He stood there for a second before he started ripping at the thick fabric that restrained his wings. He had it off in a matter of seconds. He slowly extended his wings. They were a beautiful onyx, but I'm sure they were sore as hell.
After a few seconds of stretching out his wings, his attention turned towards us. I became very fearful about what he was capable of doing to the flock. Fang started to edge closer to us, a murderous look on his face.
Fang abruptly stopped moving and his eyes started flickering from red to black. They finally rested on black and the normal, not rage filled Fang, reached towards the back of his neck and pulled out a hypodermic dart. Whatever they had put in Fang had calmed him enough that he could go back to normal.
"Now, you need to calm down and get back in your cage." A different whitecoat demanded.
Fang's eyes narrowed and the atmosphere started to pick up into that chaotic feeling again. His eyes resorted back to the crimson red.
"No. Stop that." The whitecoat warned with a terrified look on his face.
"I can control it. I don't need to be calm." Fang hissed as he approached the whitecoat.
Before the whitecoat could say anything more, Fang grabbed him around the neck.
"P-please." The whitecoat begged.
"Why?" Fang asked as he pinned the man up against the wall.
"I don't want to die." He begged further.
"What if I don't kill you?" Fang asked in a blank voice.
The man looked confused. "Please don't hurt me."
"Why should I listen to that request?" Fang pressed further.
"I have a family." Was the man's excuse.
"I had a family at one time to. That didn't stop you from hurting me did it?" Fang said with as much venom as possible.
"I-I'm sorry. I'll stop. I promise." The man was in tears now, but it wasn't him I felt bad for. I felt such empathy for Fang that it wasn't even funny.
"You're right. You will stop." With that, Fang took a hold of the man's jugular and ripped savagely at it.
The whitecoat dropped to the ground dead.
Angel started crying hysterically then. I tried to shush her by saying calming things, but she was to scared or to sad to listen.
Fang slowly turned around and his eyes turned back to the black and the air around us was no longer hostile. Fang actually seemed more sad than anything else right now.
He walked up to Angel's cage and ripped off the lock. Angel leapt into his arms. Fang seemed surprised by this because he pulled Angel off of him and backed away warily.
"I'm not going to hurt you. It's called a hug. It means that I love you; a friendly kind of love." Angel explained as her tears came closer to a stop.
Fang looked puzzled, but when Angel went and resumed her hug, he didn't back away.
"Okay," Angel began as she pulled away from her hug to Fang. "Can you release everyone else so we can get out of here?"
Fang nodded and pulled our cages open one by one.
The whole ceiling was made of glass so our escape route was rather obvious. "U and A guys." I told them.
Angel looked at Fang, probably telling him what it meant in her telepathic powers, and we all leapt up into the air and through the window.
Finally, we were free again.
