Okay, so I added this chapter because the last one was really short. Thanks for carrying on after chapter one. I give you Chapter 2.

I am trapped in this mess. I am practically the Flock's family, yet they don't know my secret. Me, or them?

I guess I should tell Phoenix. But I've kept this secret all my life, and I'm not ready to share this secret with anyone.

Max couldn't beat me but her expiration date will be soon, if Itex know what they're doing with this. That means, once she's expired, I can't kill her. Strike one: I would have two chances left to seal their fate.

I could get brain surgery? But with no medicine, and no sterile areas, my survival chances: really low. And the flock would wonder why I hadn't told them before.

I've decided, I'm going to tell Phoenix.

Well, that went well. (induce sarcasm) Everyone will know about this give it a day.

Now Max knows: I'm either dead or saved. Same choice, different person's responsibility. I know for a fact she won't give up her family, for a child she found in a cave eleven years ago. Even if she wanted to, Fang, Phoenix, and her flock wouldn't let her go. They'd kill me first. But Max wouldn't let herself die to save me. She doesn't work like that. At least Phoenix can work out a solution. A couple of months ago she evolved to use all of her brain. She's lucky though, she won't be killed if she makes the wrong decision.

Okay, so I'm writing a longer fanfic about Phoenix right now, so if I don't update, I will soon. Thanks again for reading!
