Max had been gone for almost 8 long months. All of the time that she'd been gone we'd spent looking for her, I couldn't help but think that it was my fault, after all if we hadn't of had that stupid argument then she wouldn't of been on her own in the woods in the first place.

"I thought I could trust you to at least get supplies." She yelled
"Maybe I didn't want to take orders for once in my life, after all we are meant to be free now." I exclaimed.
"We are free!" She'd shouted back
"How can we be free with you barking commands left, right and centre?" I shouted "All we're really free from are those stupid dog cages."
Max just looked taken aback.
"What do you want me to do then?" she asked me close to tears.
"Let the younger kids do what they want, let Iggy and Gassy blow stuff up, let Angel use her powers, and for goodness sakes let Nudge eat as much as she wants." I'd answered her, still shouting.
"Fine. Since you know exactly what I should be doing why don't you be leader?" She asked. Before I had a chance to answer, she opened her wings and leapt into the air, hitting turbo speed as soon as she could.
After that I remember waiting about 2 hours for Max to cool down and return, when she didn't, I told the others that we should go and look for her. They quickly agreed and we set out. Something inside me already knew that Max had been taken, however my mind refused to accept it until we had proof. That's exactly what we got, Proof.

The clearing was covered in blood with a few white feathers dotted around the gory clearing. Across the floor was the word 'FREAK' written in something white, as I approached I realised that that to was made up of Max's feathers.

We've been looking for Max for the 8 months that followed, we've already been to The School 3 times, The Institute twice and even the remains of Itex. So far no luck. Right now we were preparing to enter the school for the fourth time. We silently landed on the roof of the school.
