Max (POV):

We were in Texas, and get this. Itex gave up. Like, no Flyboys, or M-geeks. Itex just gave up. I don't even believe it. Itex wouldn't just give up on us . After fight for about two years? No way!

You can believe it Maximum. Oh joy. The Voice talked.

You know. I'm not going to believe you and how would you know anyways? I shot back. As usual and expected The Voice didn't reply.

Itex isn't after us anymore Max. Angel told me telepathically.

I know, sweet. It's just hard to take in. She was beside me so I turned my head and smiled. Now 'outta my head!

"Fine." She murmured. "Max, where are we going now?"

To tell you the truth, I never really thought about it. Got it! "Well we are in Texas so, lets go to my mom's in Arizona. It's a two hour flight. Up and away!"

!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

When we landed Nudge and Angel ran to the door, ringing the doorbell over, and over again. My mom answered the door, rubbing her eyes and said "What the he-" but stopped when she realized it was us. "Oh my god! I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry. Come inside it's a hot night." She rushed and shooed us inside. "Why are you guys here?" Her voice full of concern and nervousness.

"Jeb must have not told you." I shook my head in disapproval. "Itex gave up. We aren't being hunted anymore."

"And you believe it? That doesn't seem like the great 'Maximum Ride'." She smirked.

"Are you really questioning me mom?" I laughed. "Of course I don't believe it. But I have to . . . for now."

"Well lets have breakfast at," she looked at the clock above the front door. "Four in the morning." We laughed. "Your rooms are the same, go on up." She waved her hand to the stairs. The younger kids ran up stairs, as Fang, Iggy, and I just walked slowly. I ran up the stairs and just walked into my room to the right. I laid on the bed and gently drifted to sleep.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

I was in the dark. No lights. I couldn't see, scream, and I heard nothing. "You fell into our trap, Maximum." A familiar female voice purred. The lights turned on, they were far to bright, I had to shut my eyes for a second. When I opened them I realized I was chained to a standing up table. The female was The Director! My fake "mommy".

"Lovely." I spat.

"It's okay Maximum. Your thoughts will be better." She said. Wait what?!

"What are you-" I began but that when I heard a noise that sounded sort of like a . . . chain saw? I turned my head and saw a blade coming my way. It was going to end up cutting me in half!

"Max! Max! Max, damn it!" I heard a male voice yell. Fang? "Wake up Maximum!" Whoa!? Did he say 'Maximum'? I'm asleep?

"To late." The fake mommy purred as the blade hit my abs and I screamed.

"Max. Wake. Up!" Fang yelled shaking me. I opened my eyes and sat up fast. I looked at Fang confused. "You were screaming when I came to wake you for breakfast." He said. All I could do was nod my head. I thought back to my dream and felt like I was about to cry in horror. I put my face in my hands. And realized my cheeks were wet. Then my stomach growled. I heard Fang chuckle. Lets get you something to eat. Then we can talk." He picked me up in his strong- NO! He picked me up, in his absolutely normal, arms bridal style.

"I can walk you know." I said matter-of-fact, looking up at him.

"I know, this is just to much fun." He winked.

I lightly hit him. "Let me walk!" I argued.

"Fine!" He mused and dropped me and I landed on my butt.

"Ow!" I yelped. "That hurt!" I pouted standing up. He just smirked.

My head started to feel a little woozy. And then BAM! Pain hit me like a chain- wait no. I'll say car. The pain was unbearable. I gripped my head and fell to the ground hitting my knees hard on the carpet. Then everything went black.
