"NO!" I screamed as Anne Walker shot something that looked like a liquid needle into my chest. I had messed up, I had given up on my flock, and I, Max, was being retired. I knew that I would never see the flock again, that whatever happened to them, I couldn't help.

Jeb came in with Ari close behind him. "Ari?" I asked him. "Yeah, sorry Max, they saved me from my expiration date so now I'm with them. They're kind of like my guardian angels."

I was fuming with angry venom and managed to say, "Oh yeah! 'Cuz guardian angels are evil and crazy now", without biting someone's head off.

Jeb sighed and looked me in the eyes. "Sweetheart, you are all going to different Itex companies all around the world. Don't worry, I'll try to stay in this one with you though."

I stared at him in shock. Take me away from my flock was the worst idea I have ever heard anyone say. It was even crazier than that one time Fang, the flock, and I went to that stupid football game.

Fang…

Somehow, I wasn't going to let them take me away from Fang. "Not Fang! Please don't take me away from Fang! You can't do that!" I screamed at all the whitecoats. I didn't want Fang and I to be separated again.

No, I won't let that happen again! I can't be away from him! I need him with me. . .

Then, I don't know why, but I started screaming and crying for Fang while they locked me in a big crate.

"FANG!!!!!!NO!!!!YOU CAN'T TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM!" I started shrieking to the lunatics.

There was a slamming sound, and the scientists brought my flock out. Oh, no. The flock had heard me screaming and crying.

Angel's eyes were huge and she sent me a thought, but it didn't get through, because one of the whitecoats hit her. Hard. No, no, no! They were hitting my baby! I was filled with rage at how they were treating her. When I get out of this idiotic crate, I was going to kill those freaking whitecoats.

Then, I saw Fang looking at me. He was…crying. Tears streaked down his face. I held out my hand through the crate at him. Fang mouthed something to me, but then the truck that had me on it roared to life and took me away. "NO!" I shouted again while crying.

Fang kicked the whitecoat that held his chain, and he ran to the truck while yelling, "Max! We'll be together! I love you!"

They put the rest of the flock in other cars, all except Gazzy, as far as I could see. 'No, I don't want this to end…Fang…please come back…', I thought. I started crying and didn't stop until the van reached an end. I was still crying when they brought me out and put me in this white room.

There was one window, but it was made of rubber so I couldn't bust out through it.

When I looked up at the stars, I saw Fang's face and, of course, started balling like a baby this time. Not regular crying, like when your mom yells at you and you think she hates you, but like your world just came crashing down. And for me, my world came crashing down four hours ago, when I was taken away from my flock…and Fang.

I lay down and fell asleep thinking of all the times Fang and I kissed, and were together…life's not fair, and I finally understood something. I have no life without Fang, because Fang is my life.

No. That's impossible. Max did not just start crying and screaming over Fang. Did she? I watched in horror as Max was taken from the flock, and then, rough hands grabbed me and pushed me in a big crate.

I saw Iggy getting pushed into another crate and called out to him. "Iggy! Please don't let them take me!" I called out to him.

Iggy stopped and, even though he couldn't see, replied by saying, "Nudge? Wait! I have to tell you that I-I…Love you…"

Oh! Wonderful! I was getting taken away from everything that I loved, and now I had one more thing to be regretful to now! "Iggy! I promise that when we get out of this, I'll come get you and we'll be together forever!" I shrieked at him before the stupid Flyboys put me in that idiotic crate again.

"IGGY!" I screamed one more time before I was taken away forever from the people I loved the most.

I looked outside as the whitecoats put the Flock in different crates. Rolling my eyes, I went out there to retrieve the littlest boy who had been left behind. "Your going to stay with me little boy", I told the weeping eight year old.

He looked up at me and glared. "Why are you doing this? Well, I have something to tell you! We are all going to get out of this and when we do, you'll be one of the first one's we kill you…you…BITCH!" He yelled at me.

I shook my head at his language. Is this what Max taught these little kids. Geez, now I see why there all messed up.

"On ze contrary! You vill be ze one zat never gets out, you little punk kid. And ve vill do tests on ze older kids. Vell, tests on zeir minds!" ter Borcht called out from where he sat.

I picked up the littlest kid and put him in a dog crate.

"Uhhh", I said to myself as I thought, or at least tried to think. This was killing me so much. The people had been running tests on me for three years.

"We got it!" I heard one of the scientists yell happily from where they sat.

I heard another scientist coming and so I sat on the floor. He came to me and I looked up at him. "What do you want now?" I asked him in a bored tone. "Ummm, can you maybe out this in your body…were not allowed to touch you…"

I blinked up at him. "Touch me?" I repeated as he gave me a bottle. "What the-", I almost screamed. He gave me a bottle of…umm…you know how to get pregnant without a guy right? Well, that's what he gave me. For those of you who don't know. It's, ummm, I mean… s****…yeah…
