Chapter 1
Angel awoke from her black despair, meeting her families's eyes. They had been taken to the school.
"Fang-!" She was shushed by him, looking at a girl Iggy and Fang's age when Fang pointed at her. The girl lay limply in her cage, looking most beat up.
She stirred then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, wincing as blood seeped from a cut on her arm. Her eyes met all of the other's eyes. She looked coldly at them all. Angel flinched once her gaze set on her. Angel poked at the girl's mind numbly.
You held tough, Maximum, Something said in her mind. She smiled softly.
Go away; I'm not in the mood. I'm fighting back, next time, Voice. Just so you know. The girl- Maximum- thought back nonchalantly.
The doors of their prison swung open as an angry looking Eraser was followed by a worried looking Whitecoat.
The Eraser stopped in front of Maximum's crate. He pointed at her. "We're finishing our fight, Max! Come on, I'm going to hurt you so bad, you'll wish you'd never been-"
"Born? Too late." Max chuckled, but stood and stretched as the Eraser opened her cage roughly.
The Eraser ignored this. He looked at the Whitecoat and she flinched. He pointed at Angel and her family. "I want them to come, too."
"A-Ari, are you sure Jeb said this was-" The Whitecoat gulped under his glare. "Sanitary?"
"Yeah, I'm sure! Now get cracking! I don't want to wait for long!" Ari grabbed Max's bloody forearm. She didn't show any emotion at this.
Angel was hauled onto a cart with the rest of her family. They were hurridly rushed into a clearing with barbed wire fence all around it. Max stood in the clearing, looking bored. Ari was glaring at Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Iggy, and Fang resentfully. It was obvious, he detested them. Angel slipped into her family's minds.
Iggy- Max doesn't stand a chance.
Fang- This'll be good.
Nudge- Oh, my God! This is so scary! That Girl- Max- she is going to die!
Gazzy- Wonder if I could make a bomb… anything here I can use? … Nope. Darn.
Angel felt calm at Iggy and Fang's secureness. They'd protect them.
The fight began slowly.
"Ready to lose, Max?" Ari sneered, starting to morph.
"Nope." Max replied, ignoring Ari's anger. "Actually, I'm confident this fight will go as I like it to."
Ari growled angrily, he lunged. Max jumped into the air, spreading…
Wings!? Angel's family thought togethor in pure astonishment. She had wings, too! Angel didn't dare look into Nudge or Gazzy's minds. But Fang and Iggy were both thinking the same thing.
Can she help us?
