FOUR
As Fang and Max helped Nudge get free, she helped them free the rest of the Flock. Then, one of the Erasers jumped up and threw a black hood over Max's head. " Max!" she heard the shouts of the rest of the flock, along with her own. Suddenly, the air was filled with a horrible, acrid smoke. The flock fell into uncontrollable coughing fits and they a muffled thump! When the smoke had cleared, the erasers were goneā¦but so was Max. " Guys!" there was a shout from the deck. They all ran out and Angel was pointing to the ground. They followed her finger and they saw a familiar black van driving away. Nudge looked over at Fang and his face was white, his jaw was clenched and his eyes were glinting with fury. Quick as a flash, he was over the rail and shooting out his dark wings. After a minute and one by one, the rest of the flock followed Fang. They shadowed the van for about ten minutes then Fang dropped down of the roof. Iggy flew around the front and kicked the windscreen in. The van did stop, the back doors opened and they saw Max being taken out. They all dived for the Erasers holding her but they threw Max through the air and Ari caught her and shoved her in the back of yet another van. This one was gone by the time the Flock was back in the air. Fang tried to follow but they were to far gone. They watched as their leader, best friend and for Fang, his only love, was being transported to the most obvious place. The school.
As they flew back home, Fang couldn't help being angry at the rest of the flock. If they had followed the van when he had, they may have had a chance. They flew in the door and began to make plans on how to get Max back. Fang told Nudge he was just going to his room to get something. He went into the room, opened the window as wide as it would go and jumped out. As his wings caught the air, he began to make his plan. He would go to the School, find Max and offer a trade. She goes free and he stayed. It would be fine. Fang flew through the forest on his way. I'm coming Max he thought.
