As they flew Max thought about somewhere they could go for shelter. They could go to Ella's house.

"That's a great idea Max!" Angel shouted out of no where. She must've read my mind.

"What's a great idea?" Fang asked.

"Well we could go to Ella's for a quick resting and shelter away from the white coats, flyboys, and newly found erasers." she replied.

Everyone started to agree. And off they went toward Ella's, Max's and Mom's home.

When they reached Ella's home Fang put Max down and they knocked on the door.

Max's Mom answered the door. "Max, Fang, Iggy, Gazzy. Angel and Nudge?" What a pleasant surprise…please come in."

Everyone walked in the door, and sat down in the living room. Of course Nudge was the first one to tell Ella's Mom what happened. After she explained Ella's Mom made them cookies and gave them each survival packs. Even Max which she was a little confused on. When everyone went to sleep Max went to go talk to her mom.

Max's P.O.V

I went in mom's room to ask her something.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Yes sweetie?" she answered.

"Why did you pack me a survival pack, you know I'm staying with you." I asked.

Then mom had a sad expression on her face.

"Oh honey, you know you belong with the flock, their your family, they need you and you need them, so your going to go with them" she answered.

"Are you sure mom?" I asked.

"Of course… after all…I'll always be your mom". She smiled.

I leaned over and gave her a hug. "Oh by the way" she said. "We at the lab found a tool to get that tracking device off of you". She pulled out a sharp pointy rod. I opened my wings like I knew she needed me too. In a matter of seconds she pulled out that tracking device dropped it on the floor and I crushed it. She smiled at my bravery and strength.

After that I went to bed. The next morning at dawn (I figured we get an early start) we left. We all said goodbye to Ella and Mom and headed off into the morning sky. Fang was ahead of me so I sped up and said "So much for the fall ball". He smiled and said "I have something much better than that". Then he smiled. He looked so amazing with his golden brown locks of hair flowing in the wind. I smiled at him just staring at him blankly. After that I turned facing ahead. Then I remember searing pain and blackness.

Fang's P.O.V

Max hadn't seen the heard of flyboys in front of her. She fell toward the ground when one of them struck her. I raced toward her to catch her before she fell. I caught her in the nick of time. I flew to a ledge and put her down. When I put her down blood was trickling down her temple and one of her arms was bleeding hard. I left her and flew to help the rest of the flock fight off the flyboys. Half of them were already gone. I helped finish the rest of them out. We all flew down to Max. She wasn't moving…although she was breathing. "Max…Max" I said. "Wake up" She opened her eyes. "Iggy, get the first aid kit out of someone's backpack." He did. Then I bandaged Max's head. We had to get going so I picked her up and we flew into the sky.

Max's P.O.V

I woke up to see Fang flying and me sitting in his arms. My head hurt horribly. After I moved a little Fang looked down at me. "Max?" he said. "Are you okay?"

"Yea I'm okay" I replied.

"You were knocked out for 10 hours" Gazzy said. "I was?" I asked.

"Yea we're about to go make camp so do you wanna find us a place?" Fang asked.

"Yea" I replied. He let me go. I opened my wings and started to fly toward the city. We got to the city. We landed. I went to the plaza where there was a phonebook. I looked in the phonebook for a hotel we could stay at. There was one three blocks from here. We walked outside the plaza ready to lift off when Angel saw a trolley.

"Oh Max look! She cried. Can we ride it please please please?! I looked at Fang to see his reaction he had a let-her-have-her-fun look on his face.

"Okay fine we can ride it" I said. We all ran toward the trolley before it took off without us. We paid the guy driving the trolley and got on. I sat down. Fang sat down beside me. Angel and Gazzy were next to each other. Then Gazzy and Iggy were by each other. After about 10 minutes we got off the trolley and we walked into the Holiday Inn. We walked in the lobby. I went to the desk. There was a guy sitting at the desk with a big black shade of hair on his head and a black suit on. "May I help you children?" he asked.

"We would like to check in please" I said. He asked how many rooms we needed. I told him two connecting rooms. He gave us our room keys. We got one room for the boys and one room for the girls. When we got upstairs Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy begged me to go to the swimming pool. I went downstairs to rent bathing suits for everyone. When I got back to the room I practically got ran over for everyone to get the bathing suits. "Okay gosh guys you don't have to rush." I said. "Let me go change and I'll meet you at the pool". I looked at Fang "Are you going to go with them." He nodded. Something was wrong he would've talked to reply not nod. After I changed my clothes I came out of the bathroom and no one was in the room. I was guessing they went swimming without me. I followed all the signs and I got to the pool. Angel and Gazzy were splashing each other. Nudge and Iggy were playing Marco Polo. But where was Fang?

"WHOA!!!!" I yelled. I fell in the pool. Fang was behind me and pushed me in the pool. While he was laughing hysterically I grabbed his ankle and he flew in the pool. I was laughing.

Fang's P.O.V

Max pulled me in the pool. I was underwater for about a second until I saw her legs. I came up from on top of the water and pushed her head down. I felt her tug on my leg. I grabbed her hand followed it up higher to her arms wrapped myself around her and threw her in.

Max's P.O.V

After Fang picked me up and threw me in I swam under water to Angel to see what she was doing. She wasn't where I saw her at. Turns out me and Fang were throwing each other around for about an hour. Angel was walking toward the entrance of the hall.
"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"I'm going to bed… see you guys later". She replied. She walked inside.

Fang's P.O.V

Max was talking to Angel on the other side of the pool. I decided I was gonna scare her by grabbing her legs while I was underwater. Before I went underwater I heard a whooshing sound behind me. I turned around. I knew something was there but I didn't see what. First I felt something slash me in my face then blackness.

Max's P.O.V

I turned around from talking to Angel. Fang was nowhere to be seen. I looked a little harder and I saw a pool of what looked like blood in the far corner of the pool. I swam there as fast as I could. It was Fang. I picked him up. He was unconscious. He was barely breathing. I turned him to the side he had a big cut on the side of his head.

"Fang!" I said. "Fang!" I yelled at him. He wouldn't wake up.

"Hello Max" a voice I heard say. I looked up. "Sam?" I asked.
