Hi readers! I'm starting this story right from where Never More left off... It will all be in Max's point of view unless I mention otherwise. Here it goes :D
Prologue;
There are only four of us alive. Four people in the world. And it's us Me (max), Fang, Angel, and Dylan. Four out of the flock of seven. We are the only survivors of the apocalypse.

I was sitting with Angel waiting for Fang to come back. It was driving me crazy watching Fang and Dylan in the distance soaring around what used to be our treehouse looking for supplies. And here I was with an injured wing just watching them.
"I know how you feel" Angel told me reading my thoughts. "But you'll be helping them in no time."
She was right, even with my broken wing mutants heal quickly and I should be flying within a few hours.
We sat there for a few more minutes before I saw Fang turn back and fly towards us. Followed by Dylan, I don't know what I think of him. I mean he's nice but I belong with Fang. And more than once Dylan has tried to kill Fang.
"Hey Max" Fang Said once I was within earshot. "We found two rooms were sort of still there, mine and yours."
I was happy to hear the news "so we can stay here for about a week, see if we can find any more survivors and after a week we can go back to North America? I asked Fang
"I don't know, you're the leader" he told me.
I was pleased to say he still recognized who was in charge.
"I don't think that's a very good idea" Dylan pointed out "I mean Fang, they're girls. They'd never be able to fly all the way to North America! Even if Max is pretty strong, what about Angel. I doubt she can fly for more than a few hours."
"Now you listen, sexist pig" I shouted to Dylan. I hated how he still pointed out he was in love with me when he was insulting me and Angel. "Both Angel and I are way stronger than you! You just leave us alone!"
I turned to Fang "I think I can fly now, can we go to the treehouse?"
"What ever the Flock leader says" he told me with one of his rare smiles.
I blushed. Whoa Maximum Ride never blushes.
"Ok" I told the others trying to put on a straight face. "We can fly there in a few minutes after we gather our things"
I looked around, Angel grabbed her hoodie, Fang his jacket and Dylan his shoes. That was all we had apart from the clothes on our backs.
With in seconds I was lifting off from the ground soaring into the air beside Fang.
"Did you find anything useful?" I asked Fang, trying to break the awkward silence
"I don't know" he told me "apart from the houses there was the main water pipe. It was destroyed, like everything else but there was still some fresh water leaking from it and I put a bucket we found to help catch the water."
We both knew we weren't concentrating on the water anymore I stopped flying and was just hovering in the air next to Fang. He stopped too.
I told Fang "I was so worried about you. During the apocalypse I didn't know if you were dead or if anyone else was alive." I paused, tears leaking from my eyes "I just wish we could have any member of the flock instead of Dylan."
I hugged Fang who was shocked for a minute but hugged back. "Max" he whispered "I wish no one in the flock died cause their lives are worth way more than Dylan's but we need to realize what happened happened and there is no way to change anything."
He paused and held my face in his hands. And kissed me.
