I woke up after having a nightmare about Max being captured. I glanced over at her to see her already awake. Actually, I was the last one up.

"Max?" Gasman said.

"Uh, what?" Max replied, and I thought her voice didn't sound quite right.

"I'm hungry."

"okay, how about some eggs?" Max said, opening the fridge. Wait, what!? Max was a horrible cook, and she knew it too.

"You're going to cook?" I asked, staring at her incredulously.

"Aren't you hungry?" She asked me.

"Not that hungry." The Gasman muttered.

"I'll cook." Iggy said.

"But you're blind." Max said, bewildered. What was going on with her? She knew that Iggy was the best cook out of all of us.

"Nudge, I'll fix your hair." Max never did that… something wasn't right. "Hey, you, off the bed." Max said pointing at Total.

"Why?" Angel said.

"Because I said so." Max replied. Everyone in the flock snapped their heads up to stare at Max. She would never, in a million years, say that, not even to me. "What?" Max said, noticing us staring at her. Angel? I mind spoke.

Yeah?

What happened to her?

This isn't Max.

What do you mean?

Imposter. Crap. I totally started freaking out inside. Where was Max? Most likely, the School. What were they doing to her? Torturing her. How do we get her back? We can't. What is she going through? Unimaginable pain. Why her, why not me? She is the important one. Why do I keep asking myself stupid questions, and then answering them stupidly? Cause I'm scared out of my mind…STOP I commanded myself. Okay, think straight, and quit shaking. It was true, my body was shaking. I took a couple deep breaths. We were planning on invading Itex tonight, so I could search for her there. Ok, not much of a plan, but it was a start.
