hi! This is it, the final chapter. I would like to thank braye27 who gave me such great reviews and hoped the rest of you enjoyed it too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride but Chloe's all mine.

Enjoy :)

Graveyards

That was the last time I saw Chloe.

It's been two years since then. I decided to stay with mom and live in England. It would have been too hard for her to leave the library, and Chloe's grave, behind to go to America.

A few days later I went Chloe's house. I found the chair, still in its same place thankfully, and put a bottle of coke, a Cadbury chocolate bar and a packet of crisps to the side of it, under a bush. I returned the next day. The food and Coke had gone. Anything could have got it. Except the book Chloe had borrowed the week before was lying where I had put the stuff. I opened it and inside, in neat handwriting, it one word; 'thanks'.

I went back to America to find the Flock and tell them about my mom. I quickly found them. When Max got to me she hugged me so tightly and then yelled her head off at me for leaving, before hugging me again. Fang's 'Mission' had failed and he'd come back, making Max so much more co-operative.

We've all gone our separate ways, sought of. Max and Fang have gone off together to continue to save the world. Angel and Gazzy are living with Max's mom - Ms Martinez - and had started home education with Ella's help. Iggy had decided to come back to England with me to live with mom and me. He had said he wanted to go to a library more often.

Now the two of us, Iggy and me (mom was at work), stood in front of a grave, hand in hand, in the local graveyard. "Whose grave is it?" He asked.

"Someone I met when I first came here." He nodded. The wind blew and a chill went through my body. Iggy felt me shiver and put his arms around me, pulling me close. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"When did they die?"

"The year before I arrived." He looked at me with a funny expression. We started to walk away, Iggy keeping me close for both his and mine benefit.

"What was their name?"

"Chloe Williams and she died far too young." My voice broke whilst I spoke. Iggy gasped and his sightless eyes widened. I tapped the back of his hand twice, our signal for 'what's wrong'. "I met her, About a week after you left. She came and sat next to me on some random bench and asked me to tell her my story."

"Did you tell her?"

"Yeah, but just to see how she would react. She disappeared into thin air once I finished though. Did you tell her your story?"

"Yeah, I did." I wasn't in the mood for some long winded speech of what happened. I glanced at a tree on the other side of the graveyard. A small person in dark clothing sat, crouched up underneath it, staring out at all the gravestones. The person hadn't noticed us yet.

I whispered to Iggy what I had seen and we navigated our way through the gravestone maze until we were stood behind the person. We stood there, still hand in hand, for a few minutes. Finally I opened my mouth. "Tell us your story."

The person turned their head and their dark green hood fell back to reveal Chloe's smiling face.

"It would be my pleasure."

Well that's it. Finite. I hope you all enjoyed it. I had an idea to write a short sequel about Chloe and Iggy. What d'you think?
