Max POV

I was in a peaceful slumber when I was rudely awaken when my hands were bound behind my back and I thrown into a helicopter. As I did a head count I established that the whole Flock was there. Angel had been hit over the head and so had Gazzy. Nudge looked at me as though she had completely lost hope while Iggy gazed off at nothing in the distance. Fang was struggling as best he could, but even he knew it was useless though he wasn't prepared to admit it. An Eraser kicked me out of the way as he made his way to the cockpit. A few more Erasers got in and shut the door. I recognised one of them. Ari. He smiled coley at me just before he knocked me out with the handle of his gun.

I woke expecting to be in a cage back at the school with my flock around me. Instead I was in a strange bed, in a strange room and I was guess that it would be a strange house too. I threw the covers off eager to explore my new surroundings. Standing I noticed that someone must have changed me. I cringed at the thought. The door was locked, well I'm not getting out that way. I walked to the window and tried to open it, but to my despair that was also locked. I sighed and sat back down on the bed examining my surroundings.

Eris POV

It was midnight when the white van pulled up outside. I slid from under the covers and opened my door so I could peer through. The light flooded in the crack and lighted my room slightly. There were Erasers carrying something up the stairs. Dad, that's what he makes me call him, was at the top of the stairs with the spare room door open and the key in hand. I didn't have a clue what was going on or what they were putting in the room, but I knew not to ask. Dad turned around and saw me. I quickly shut the door and slid back into bed.

I waited until I heard the last of the Erasers' footsteps retreating into the dark of the night. Silently I threw back the covers and crawled out of bed. My bare feet froze when they touched the cold wooden floor boards. I crept to my door and opened it a fraction. Scanning the area I noted that my dad must already be in bed because all of the lights were off. I took a step out of my room, a floor board creaked and I froze afraid that I would caught. If I was caught out of bed this late I would be punished for sure. I crept up the stairs and headed in the direction of the spare room, using the moonlight to find my way.

I reached the door and stood in front of it. I was gathering the courage to enter. If Dad caught me I would be in big trouble, but I had to serve my curiosity. I rested my hand on the handle and breathed deeply. The door locked from the outside and no key was needed to enter so all I had to do was turn the handle, if I could. I took another deep breath and turned it. There was a faint creak as the door opened, but not enough for my dad to hear thankfully. I hadn't opened the door the whole way, I still had a chance to close it, but I didn't.

Max POV

As the door creaked I looked up from where I was sitting on my 'new' bed. A faint silhouette stood in the doorway. The silhouette came closer and I could tell that it was a girl. Her dark hair was tied back in a messy bun. She looked to be around my age. We both stared at each other in silence unsure what to say. "Ummm. Hi?" the girl said. "Hi. I'm Max. Do you have any idea where I am and what I am doing here?" I asked. "I'm Eris. You're in my father's house-well he's not my real father but he took me in." Eris informed me. "But as for what you are doing here I have no idea. I am rarely told anything." she continued. I sighed I needed to get back to my flock.
