Iggy's POV

Oh. My. Frikin. God. I could actually see! I couldn't stop staring at everyone. They were exactly how I'd picture them in my mind. But I couldn't stop staring at Emily. After all, she was the one who gave me my sight back. We kept catching each other's glances and then looking away. I just couldn't seem to stop! I shook my head. There was definitely something up.

Emily's POV

"Please, Fang! You've GOT to stay! Can't you see how much you mean to her?"

"And can't you see that by staying I'd put her in too much danger? I'd put all of them in too much danger! Besides, she's got Dylan now."

Sometimes guys needed a telling off. This was one of those times.

"Fang, you listen to me. Max needs you. The flock needs you. You guys have been in danger your whole life! What could possibly make you think-"

"Emily!"

"What?!"

"You're right! We have been in danger our whole lives! God, how could I have been so stupid? I let that idiot get to me! I need to go to Max. Where is she?"
"She's out flying with Iggy and the rest of the flock. But Fang, what about-"

"No time now I need to go tell her!"

He took off from the mouth of the cave and went to look for Max. I shook my head. What about your new group, Fang? What's going to happen to them?

Dylan's POV

This sucked! It totally sucked! Max always gets what she wanted and I was always trampled into the dust. Didn't anyone care about my feelings at all?

Maya's (Max2) POV

This sucked! Why did Max have to come back? It wasn't fair! She had Dylan! I had no one! When Fang asked me to join his group, I felt wanted. Like I had a purpose. Now she was back and Fang had already jumped out into the afternoon sky to tell her he was coming back? Did none of us matter to him anymore? Didn't I matter to anyone?

Dylan's POV

I stormed my way over to the back of the cave to be alone but instead I found Maya, Max's clone, already there. Oh, well. She looked pretty angry too so I figured she wouldn't mind me there either. She glanced at me and nodded then moved over so I could sit too. I sat. After a few minutes of saying nothing, I started a conversation.

"So, why are you mad?"

"What makes you think I'm mad?"

"Well, for one thing you're clutching a rock and that can't exactly feel too great."

"I am not-" she looked down. She unclenched her fist and the rock fell to the floor. She sighed. "It's just that when Fang asked me to join his group, I felt wanted. No one's ever really paid much attention to the clone of Maximum Ride. It sucks to be someone's clone."

"Tell me about it," I said wistfully.

"I had almost forgotten you were a clone too."

We looked at each other with a new understanding. Then a thought struck me.

"We both know that Max hates me right? And we also know that Fang really wants to come back. So...where does that leave us?"
"Rejected and outcasts?"

"No. It leaves us with a choice! We can either stay with our groups and be miserable or we can let Fang come back to the flock and I'll go with you guys." I had no idea what she would say about my idea but she seemed to be thinking about it. Then suddenly she smiled.

"I think that sounds like a great idea."

We just sat there smiling at each other. We both didn't deserve to be unwanted and outcasts in our own groups. We had found a solution.
