Chapter 1: He's Alive

Iggy and Max lay Fang onto the ground.

Angel is scared.

Stop the bleeding.

Not like you can.

Max unbuttons Fang's shirt.

His skin is shredded and torn.

Excellent.

They are trying to figure out what to do.

Stop the bleeding.

Max still doesn't know what to do.

Angel thinks about how frustrating she thinks Max is.

Put pressure on it. Press the cloth over it and lean on the wounds with both hands. Elevate his feet, Max.

They do as they are told.

A man is coming?

What's he doing here?

Before the voices have their chance to react, the man calls 911.

They need to leave him.

Max tells the little ones to leave.

The Gasman refuses.

They have to leave.

Max refuses to let them come.

Gazzy refuses to leave.

Leave.

Gazzy shakes his head trying to clear his mind from the unfamiliar voice in his head.

He's not leaving.

Leave now!

Gazzy is hearing things. He doesn't want to leave. He won't leave. He refuses.

Max and Gazzy argue.

He still refuses to leave.

Now the other young ones are backing him up.

Interesting. His mind is more powerful than I thought it was. Let's see where this mind of his takes him.

Max finally lets Gazzy and the other little ones come.

They go into the ambulance truck.

The EMTs panic when they hear Fang's heartbeat. It is much faster than a normal person's.

Max explains to them. That he's different.

They make their way into the hospital.

Max thinks about how much she hates the Erasers for doing this to Fang.

She shouldn't hate the Erasers. It's not their fault.

It's mine.

You have to respect your enemy, Max. Never, ever underestimate them. The second you do, they'll smash you. Be smart about them. Respect their abilities even if they don't respect yours.

Whatever.

Fang is on a gurney.

Fang is going to live. No matter. He won't be living for long. I won't allow it.

Max lies to the people at the hospital about their relationship.

They need her help. They have never had a patient that is part bird before. They don't know what to expect.

They ask her to give a blood donation. Iggy gives blood too, a little later.

A nurse leads Max to the rest of the flock, after she is done giving blood. Max recieves a muffin and some juice. She is led to a small conferance room where the rest of the flock sit with untouched trays of food in front of them.

The FBI is here.

They want answers. They want to ask the flock questions.

Max is still suspious about the food. She doesn't trust it.

The FBI take a bite out of each of the flock's trays to show them that it isn't poisoned.

They flock members eat their food.

They each sit at a different table in a room where they are asked questions.

They are asked questions about the Erasers, the School, Jeb, who they are, and other things.

Anne takes over talking to Max. She convinces Max to stay at her house for a little while.

Max walks with Anne to get information on Fang's condition.

Fang is okay.

Max walks back in the room to her flock.

She tells them about the deal she had made.

Anne finds out about Total. She want them to go to her house while Fang heres. Max refuses.

Voice? Any last minute remarks you want to get off your chest before I crash?

Angel starts to tell her something but is soon drowned out by a much stronger voice and mind.

Celeste wants to ask the questions.

You chose to stay with Fang.

Even when I told you not to.

No duh.

Family is extremely important. Didn't you tell me that once?

I going to have to break up this little family.

Yep, that's why we're going to find our parents as soon as we got out of here.

Max closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

Once again Angel implants her futuristic images into Max's semiunconscious mind.

Max sits up. She feels hot. Like she is burning.

Max wonders back to the chip.

She feels so hot.

She walks over to the sink and splashes water at her face.

When she looks at her reflection, Celeste makes her believe that she is looking at an Eraser version of herself.

This scares her.

Respect and honor your enenmies. Know your friends well; know your enemies even better.

Oh, please. Please let this be just a horrible lesson and not reality. I promise, promise, promise to know my enemies better. Just let me lose the muzzle.

Your greatest strength is your greatest weakness, Max. Your hatred of Erasers gives you the power to fight to the death. But that hatred also blinds you to the big picture: the big picture of them, of you, of everything in life.

Of me. Your greatest enemy, that you can never defeat. It always comes back to me, even no one knows it is.

Um. Let me think about that and get back to you, okay?

Max goes back and lays down. She looks at Fang to make sure that he is okay.

She goes back to sleep.
