"Max, we want to know what you've been going to the School at nights for." Fang said coldly, staring hard into my eyes.

"I…" I trailed off not knowing what to say. If I told them the truth, they would just get mad and yell at me for being 'stupid'. But I was doing what I had to so the flock would be safe. "I…"

"We know."

"You do?" I gasped, partly relieved that I wouldn't have to explain everything to them.

"We trusted you Max! How could you?" Wait. Hold the train for a second. My brain froze as I tried to understand what Gazzy meant.

"It's pretty obvious. Flyboys always know where we are and you go sneaking off to the school at night. You need to leave." Fang stated emotionlessly.

The words sank in and tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I refused to let them see me cry. I couldn't believe they thought I was a traitor! I raised them and protected them with my life. I would do anything for them.

I looked around at the five familiar faces and saw nothing but hostility and anger and made my decision.

"You…" I paused and took a deep breath. "You're right. I need to leave." A look at Nudge's surprised face told me they hadn't expected me to say that so I continued with venom in my voice. "If you honestly think that I would do anything like you are accusing me off, I have no idea why I'm still here. I thought you knew me better than that."

I leapt straight up in the air and spread my wings, taking off into the night. I flew as fast as I could, not once looking back.
