Training was fun. To be away from "daddy dearest" was bliss. Away from the accursed lab and out for the place I was made for, the wild. The idea for this mission was to get to the top of the mountain with no provisions and survive for three weeks.

With my genetically enhanced muscles getting up the mountain was easy. Plus I was light after all I was only six. So I flew up made it to the peak in an hour. Yes I had wings. Part of my alterations allowed me to derive nutrients from almost anything, and my immune system wouldn't allow me to get any ailment so I made a snack out of some random berries and herbs I found at the top. Then I gathered some firewood. My body naturally heated up or cooled down depending on my surroundings so I didn't need a fire for heat but animals despite common belief are attracted to fire, and frankly deer tasted better then poisoned berries and weird mushrooms. Then I took some of my sweat. I know what you're thinking, 'ew what's he going to do with his sweat?' well I'll tell you. My sweat is highly flammable when combined with a little spit. Yeah I know that's still pretty disgusting, but hey I was engineered to survive not be cleanly.

2 days later

I was stalking my prey; a mountain lion. Well not so much stalking it so much as having my skin cells blend in to the background and walking up to it. Quick as lightning I sprung forward breaking its neck. I picked it up bridal style and flew back laughing. For some reason it was way too much fun being invisible. I could make my whole body invisible or just select parts. Traditionally my wings whenever it was necessary for me to go out in public.

3 days before fang was taken.

"But dad do I have to mess with her emotions it seems kind of cruel."

"You will do as you're told. Now… take her out."

Present time

Nudge"s pov

"We'll be planning to send out a submarine rescue party in two days Max," Dr. Martinez told her. "Don't worry we'll find him."

All I could think of was Lee. He had called my new cell phone earlier and asked if I wanted to hang out today. And boy did I want to. Who wouldn't want to hang out with a caring hot Hawaiian all day? So what was the problem? Well Max. How would she feel if I just ditched them for a day when Fang was gone? But it wasn't like we were going out to find him today right? Would it really be such a big deal if I wasn't here for just today? Nudge just do it she'll understand.

Of course Angel was reading my mind. "Max?"

"Yes nudge?" Max sighed.

"I was wondering if… I could hang out with Lee today."

She turned to look at me. Her eyes were red from crying so much. It was tuff being without a member of the flock but when this particular member was your boyfriend… well I could only imagine.

She sighed again. "Yeah, you go have fun Nudge."

"Oh thank you Max! Don't worry I'll be back before six."

"You do that Nudge."

Fang's pov

"Please talk to me Fang."

She had been coming in to my death chamber for the past two days begging for me to talk to her. Can you believe that? MY DEATH CHAMBER! MINE.

"Fang I'm sorry! You can't keep giving me the silent treatment."

Oh yes I can and I will.

"I'm telling you Brigid, children only respond to pain," Here comes the ever present Mr. Chu, "see watch." He pulled out a cattle prod. Oh my god what was he going to do with that? He pressed the button and pressed it into my side.

"AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!"

"This is how you will get him to speak," he told her pressing it to my sides again.

"AAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!" I stared at Brigid. She looked scared, but she didn't move to stop him.

"This –cattle prod- is –cattle prod- the –cattle prod- only –cattle prod- way –cattle prod- you –cattle prod- can –cattle prod- them –cattle prod- to –cattle prod- listen," on the last word he held the prod to my already seared flesh.

"!"

"Mr. Chu please stop; you're hurting him."

"Well Fang? Would you like me to stop? You know what you have to do." He held the cattle prod just beneath my chin.

I stayed silent it was after all what I was good at.

"Fang do not test me."

Still silent.

"Ugh you insolent little boy!" he slapped me across the face and then stormed back out the doors.

"Fang," Brigid whimpered.

"Go away."

Nudge"s pov

"Hiya Brittani!" Lee said as I met him at the beach.

"Hi Lee," I said glumly.

"What's wrong?" he asked immediately coming to my side.

I turned into him,"I feel like I should be with Max right now… she's going through a rough time.

"Did she say you could come? Do you even want to be here?"

"Yes and Yes."

"Then I'm sure its fine. Don't beat yourself up."

Of course he had no idea if things were fine and I knew that but suddenly things seemed fine as he wrapped his tan muscular arms around me.

"You're right, let's go swimming now."

"Fine with me," he said and he swept me up into his arms and carried me bridal style into the ocean.

I screamed and giggled as I hit the freezing cold water, which caused him to laugh, which caused me to splash him. Then he tackled me into the water, and we both came up laughing.

After hours of playing in the water we went ashore and sat up a towel. We both lay down side by side. We looked into each other's eyes his black ones stared longingly into my chocolate ones. He shifted closer, I shifted closer. My eyes slowly closed and I felt his lips crush into mine. Sure it was only our second date but I wanted him, I could only get so much I might as well get the most while I can. I let my lips be parted and his tongue hungrily slipped in. It felt good like I wanted more and more. He tasted so sweet. I didn't want to break apart but I was running out of air. So I pulled away gasping for breath.

"You are a really good kisser," Lee said laughing.

"You're not so bad yourself, I said.

He laid back so that his arm was out behind me, he was staring into my eyes but it was a nice stare not creepy but adorable, with his dark deep eyes. I laid down in his arms and he pulled me closer. He smelled like the ocean. I bet I did too. He smiled, he had perfect white teeth.

"I love you Brittani."

I was shocked. He loved me? How lucky could I get? Did I love him? I looked up into his eyes his deep dark adorable eyes. I knew I could trust him I knew he was one of the best guys I knew; I knew he was perfect, I knew I loved him too.

"I love you too Lee."

He held me closer, "You're so beautiful, funny caring… perfect."

"Oh gosh," I giggled. Did he really just say that? "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. You're so sweet."

"Thank you Brittani," he said laughing.

It was getting dark; we cuddled some more as we looked up at the moon. Then he walked me home.

"Call me later," he said before hugging me goodbye.

Iggy"s pov

My room is white, perfectly white. Everything in it is white. Why is it like this? It's not even my favorite color which happens to be orange. Nope it's because in white I could see! I loved being able to see. Having been blind for years it felt great being able to see. Of course as soon as I left my perfect room, It was back to pitch black darkness. Where I couldn't see nothing not my reflection, not my bed not my wings not the bombs me and my pyro apprentice were making. I couldn't see my flock and worst of all I couldn't see Nudge's beautiful hair and her chocolate eyes her tan skin, her cute smile. I sighed, not like seeing her even mattered now that she was with that stupid Lee guy. You know what I'd really like to do to him? I'd like to shove a bomb right up his stupid Hawaiian ass!

Iggy were all in Nudge's room talking about her latest date, come on, Angel broadcasted into my head.

Why would I want to hear about how her stupid date went with Him? I thought to her. She was one of the few people who knew about my love for Nudge. The only other was Fang.

Oh right, sorry Ig.

I sighed again, no that's ok I'm coming. Anything to be with Nudge more.

Ok see you soon.

What was wrong with me? Why doesn't she like me? Was I ugly? Annoying? What is it?

Iggy there's nothing wrong with you.

Well than why doesn't she like me?

She's just never thought about it.

Well why not?

I don't know have you ever really made it seem like you like her? Like have you ever flirted?

Um… no.

Well that'd be why.

Oh, I said before walking in. I sat down next to Nudge. Angel wanted me to flirt, fine I'll flirt.

"Good now we're just waiting for Max," she said.

"No Max says she's' too tired to come she says sorry," Angel told her.

"Oh well ok; well anyway we went swimming. Then we were cuddling on the beach-"THEY WERE CUDDLING, I thought. "- then he kissed me and we made out, he was so good! He tasted kind of sweet almost like pineapple, must be a Hawaiian thing-"THEY MADE OUT! I thought. "- and then he told me he loved me!" HE SAID HE LOVED HER! HE THINKS HE LOVES HER?

I stormed out of the room slamming the door behind me. Normally I'd ask Fang what to do. He was one of my best friends, if I needed help he was the one I turned to. And where was my best friend when I needed him? Kidnapped by Mr. Chu and being held God knows where.

I stormed into Max's room, "c'mon we're going to get Fang."

"We still don't know where he is though."

"Oh yeah." Suddenly I was felling something, something in my gut, a weird pull of some kind. I walked in the direction I felt it pull. It eased slightly, and then went back to the same intensity as before. "Max, I think I know where he is."
