"Angel!" I called. We hadn't still found Angel, and had been looking for hours. "Angel, you out there?" Gazzy called. I felt terrible. This is twice now that iv'e let Angel, my baby, slip through my fingers. Twice. And because of me, Angel is probably dead... Keep looking, Maximum, she's out there somewhere. Yes, the notorious voice in my head is still here. I normally tune it out, but this caught my attention. Angel? Is she alive? I thought, getting a weird feeling in my stomach. Just keep looking, Maximum. You never know what you'll find until you look. Of course. I can never get a strait answer out of the Voice. It's always just something that get's you're hopes up, then leaves you to look for it yourself.

"Maybe we should go home," Dylan said, looking tired. "Yeah, Max, can we look again tomorrow? Not that I don't wanna find Angel, but i'm reaaaaaly tired and don't think I can-" "Okay, we'll get some rest and look again tomorrow," I said, purposely cutting Nudge off. I rounded up the Flock and we headed to a cave we found. We all curled up inside and soon the others were sound asleep. I was laying down with my eyes closed, but wide awake. What are you doing Max? The Voice said. What does it look like I'm doing? I thought back. Angel is still out there, and there's not a moment to spare, Max. Angel needs you. Now. I looked over at the Flock. They all looked asleep. Though you can never tell with Fang. He was hidden somewhere in the shadows from being still long enough. I got up and silently crept out of the cave.

I jumped off of the edge of the cave and snapped out my wings. I flew up high enough to get a good view of the city. I saw a figure walking around on the ground. I zipped down at lightning speed and landed hard. The figure was no longer there. "Angel?" I said, slowly taking a few steps. "Not Angel," said a voice from behind me.
