Hello, again!

thanks to all of my reviewers. You guys are awesome. And one of the only reasons I am staying up until like one in the morning writing this story. And people say I'm wasting my summer...ha! (Yeah, school starts on the 26th)

By the way, nobody has their powers in this, but Iggy can see, because Angel is kind of creeping me out...(in the real MR books)

Oh, about the preview thing I gave you last chapter, the first letter of the three sentences spelled FAX, congrats if you noticed, but that is chapter 8 or 9, I changed my mind, sorry.

Okay, I have a poll up about this story. Should there be a prom/dance? I know a lot of stories have a prom or whatever, and Max and Fang end up going together and riding off into the sunset and what not...BUT. If you do want a prom/dance/whatever, should Max go with Fang, or should they go with other people? Review and let me know.

(Don't say Fang should go with Iggy, really.)

Anyway, now you probably get why I said Nicole and Ben are mutants, they just don't have wings. If it surprised you, it surprised me too. I mean, I only thought of it when I was typing that chapter.

Speaking of Ben... I kind of feel bad. There's FAX, and it is pretty obvious there will be Niggy, (not Nudge, Nicole.) And Ben has... no one. So, when you click that beautiful review button, let me know one more thing...Should there be a:

a. Nen or Budge (Nudge and Ben)

b. Bella (Ben and Ella)

Other. if you want to be in the story as Ben's GF (yeah, i was thinking girl, but, whatever) sure, why not. Make up a character and I'll use it. First person wins. Maybe, more like first good one I see.

(Good luck if your doing that)

Chapter Seven

Nicole POV

If I were Max, where would I be? I thought. I just left my house, leaving only Ben and Fang to take care of the kids, which probably wasn't the best idea, but, hey. I still was kind of wondering if the last ten minutes were all a dream. Did Fang really have wings? Was I really stupid enough to show him I was an Eraser? Did we just kinda become friends?

Poor Max, she was just a normal person who happened to hang with the wrong people. Her best friend was a half-wolf weirdo, half the time, and her almost-boyfriend was a full-time bird kid. And Iggy, would he really want to date me if he knew I was a werewolf? Okay, not really a werewolf, because I can control it. More like an in-control werewolf. But, in answer to my question, no, he would not. He would probably run to the first place he could find and ask if they sold silver bullets. Then, he would probably shoot me with one and be disgusted with himself for even talking to me in the first place. As I was dieing, I mean, a silver bullet would kill anyone, he would make fun of me, comparing me to Remus Lupin from Harry Potter. After I died, he would fall in love with Lissa Herring or some beautiful French model and they would live happily ever after.

Okay, I had an overactive imagination. Maybe that is part of the Eraser 6.0 package.

But more importantly, how am I supposed to find Max? She could be anywhere. Most likely under a rock based on the way she knew nothing about Fang liking her.

I pulled out my cell phone and called Max. She better pick up the phone...

"Hello? Nicole?" I heard her ask. If you are wondering how she knew it was me, it's this crazy little invention called Caller ID.

"Max. Where are you?" I asked, "We need to talk."

"Okay." Max said, "I'm in the park. You know that picnic section? Well, in the woods next to it, there is a clearing, I'm there."

I knew exactly what Max was talking about. That is the exact same area I would practice being an Eraser in. I told Fang I hated being an Eraser, I did, but it was kind of cool. All of my senses were improved, and I was so fast, and agile.

"I'll be there in a couple minutes." I told her and hung up. I wouldn't get there fast as human Nicole. So, I had to transform. I'll just stay in the woods and shadows. Where I belong. Wait. Forget I said that last part.

I quickly transformed. Luckily, my clothes stayed on when I transformed (otherwise there was no way in h-e-double toothpicks I would have changed back in front of Fang.) because of Ben. He figured out a way to keep the clothes on. Before that, we would only change and change back in our rooms, alone and with locked doors. I swear, that boy is genius. Maybe it came with his Eraser pack.

I ran on all fours through the woods, sure I was still kind of half human, but, I could still do mostly wolf-like things. Which means I barely eat when I am in Eraser form. I stopped and looked up at the trees above me. My Eraser eyes saw so much better than my normal human ones, everything was so clear and beautiful. I wonder what Iggy would look like? Shut up, Nicole, you're on a mission and Iggy could never see you like this. Do I have to repeat that long story about what would happen if he did?

Since I was so close to th spot Max said she was in, I turned back into a human. Normally, you wouldn't imagine anyone on this planet saying those last six words. It is still kinda creepy when I hear myself say it.

I walked a few feet when I noticed someone in the bushes next to me. Max. It was Max. By the look on her face. She saw that I was here. She saw everything.

Max POV

I could not believe this. My best friend, the only person I could relate to. One of them.

"You're an Eraser." I said. I didn't know what else to say.

"Version 6.0." Nicole blurted out. She clearly had no clue what to say either. I didn't respond.

"Max, I can explain...wait. How do you know I'm an Eraser?" Nicole asked.

At first I was about to say, 'I saw you', but then I realized she meant how did I know she was called an Eraser. Why didn't I say werewolf?

"How about you explain yourself first, then I'll tell you everything." I said.

"Fine." Nicole said, "If you know that I'm called an Eraser, I'm just assuming you know about The School?"

I nodded.

"Of course," She said, "Remember how I was in that fire, and my parents died and I had to go live with Ben and his parents?" I nodded again, and she continued, "Well, about a week after I moved in, Mr. and Mrs. White had to leave for a year trip to South America. Ben and I couldn't come with them. So, they left us in the hands of a close friend, who just happened to be one of the scientists at the School. We were turned into Erasers. Mom and Dad came, took us back home, and never found out. The end, now it is your turn."

I sighed.

"I know about Erasers and the school." I began, "Because I was there too. As a mutant."

"Your an Eraser, too?" Nicole asked.

"Not quite." I told her.

"That's okay." Nicole said, then her eyes opened wide, "Just please don't say you have..."

"I have wings." I interrupted her, I slowly spread them out to show her.

"I was hoping you wouldn't say that." Nicole said, "It's so ironic, I could laugh."

"Ironic?" I asked, "What?"

"Max." Nicole said, "Fa..."

Nicole was interrupted by the sound of helicopters. Nicole winced. It was obvious to see where they were from.

"This isn't possible." I murmured.

The School is back.

Iggy POV

Nudge, Ella and I walked back to the Whites' house. We had no clue where Max went and I really want to talk to Nicole. Nudge and Ella were both pretty interested in Ben, which is kind of creepy. I knocked on the door. Ben opened it.

"Hey." He said, "What happened?"

"Max had to leave." I said. "She probably forgot she had homework to do or something."

"Yeah," Nudge added, "But, we decided we should come back. You probably did need an explanation."

"Um...okay." Ben said, and we all walked inside. Fang, Angel, and Gazzy walked into the room.

"Where's Nicole?" I asked.

"She left to find Max." Fang answered. Of course.

Ben walked out of the room with everyone else, leaving me and Fang behind. I think they were thirsty, or something.

"Nicole really likes you." Fang said.

"Well, I would love to talk to her but every time I try, one of us has to leave, or already left."

I told him.

"Yeah." Fang answered.

I was about to ask to ask him what is going on between him and Max, but Angel ran into the room.

"There's helicopters outside!" She screamed, "The School is back!"

Max POV

I woke up in a cage. I didn't turn around, I knew a person was there. It was probably Nicole.

"Max?!" The person asked.

Definitely not Nicole.

I quickly turned. It was, of course, Fang Griffins.

"Max. About what happened earlier..." Fang began.

"It's fine." I told him, "Let's just pretend it never happened."

Fang almost looked hurt when I said that, but whatever emotion he felt, it passed before I could really tell what it was.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" I asked. Why would the school want Fang?

"I could ask you the same thing." He answered, glaring at me. Okay, he kissed me, and now he's all Mr. Angry? Wait, pretend it never happened...that was going to be hard.

I think it was right then when we both noticed each others backs.

I know, it is short, but considering how fast I updated, it's long.

More reviews and I might try to make it longer.

Answer those questions I gave you earlier and I'll try harder.

If somebody makes that story about Max taking Fang to a Jonas Brothers concert, I will make sure it is the longest chapter yet, excluding the bold stuff I write.

I just think it would be funny to watch Fang see his favorite band, I mean suffer.

Anyway...
