Author's Note: I want to thank the fans who stuck with me, even though I constantly am unavailable for a new chapter. There is one problem. My dad is insisting that once school starts, I have to abandon Fan Fiction. I probably won't do that, but just in case, I'm letting you know ahead of time.

Welcome to My Side of the River

Sonya

Iggy's POV

It had been two days since I had found Alexa. Max and I were arueing at the moment, because she wouldn't let me go and save her.

"Max!" I shouted. "I love her! I can't just let her stay trapped there!"

"Iggy, we have to." Max was weary. "It's for your good as well as Alexa's."

"You'd be fighting just as hard if it was Fang that was kidnapped!"

"Guys, shut up! Alexa's trying to talk to me!" Angel interrupted. Max and I instantly fell silent.

Angel concentrated for a longer amount of time. "She's going to use a new power she discovered. She's going to talk through me."

Angel's blue eyes turned emerald green. Alexa's eye color. "Iggy, don't come after me. They're trying to capture you. It's all part of a new experiment. The whiterobes are trying to get us to reproduce, then study our baby. They're calling it Operation G2. I'll learn what I can, then tell you the weaknesses of Draconian Falls, then you can bust me out. I love you." Then she was gone.

I was in shock. A child? With Alexa? That was why it was so easy to find her. They were counting on me rescuing her. It had been a trap all this time.

Angel was back to normal. "Iggy, there's one thing she didn't tell you."

"What didn't she tell me, Angel?" She was silent. "Angel, I need to know."

"If you don't turn up soon, they're going to proceed with the operation anyway." She whispered. But how – No. No, no, no.

They're going to rape her.

I can't let that happen. I'll die before I let that happen.

"Angel." Max commanded. "Find out all the weaknesses of Draconian Falls. Eavesdrop on the whiterobes. We won't attack until we have all the information we need. The only exception will be if they decide to proceed with G2. Then we're going in no matter what. Understood?"

The Flock nodded their agreement. Max turned to me. "Iggy, don't do anything. If you surrender, you'll only make things harder on Alexa. Please don't. For her."

"I won't. She asked me not to. "

A distinct nauseating feeling was present in my stomach. What if I was too late? What if they succeeded with G2?

Max looked at me sadly. "It'll be okay. I know it will."

I really hope it will be.

For Alexa's sake.
