ELLO! OK, some people asked if Max has wings. She DID, but she got them removed before she got adopted, so the white coats can watch her live a 'normal life' but at the moment, she does not.

MAX POV

It can't be.

Oh my God.
My breathing quickened and my face paled. Sam turned and looked at me in concern.

"You ok?" he asked. I nodded; I didn't want to freak him out.

"Do you know them?" he asked. I nodded again, technically, I did.

I saw Fang eye them warily and he came to stand beside me, "What's wrong," he mumbled his eyes still on the men.

"N-no-nothing," I stammered.

"Look guys, I'll be right back," I pushed past everyone and went out the door. I didn't want anyone getting mixed up in this mess. This was a battle I'm going to have to fight alone.

Just like old times.

Because trailing me, were Erasers, and they were starting to morph.

I started running, but they still followed. I thought I'd never see them again! My heart was beating fast, and I was breathing hard. Images of the school flashed in my vision, making me shudder over and over again.

The Erasers were gaining on me, and I turned a corner, hoping to lose them.

Big mistake.

I just ran into a dead end.

I quickly turned on my heels, ready to fight them. I may not be genetically enhanced anymore, but I'm still strong.

They were smiling now, their muzzles dripping in drool, their yellow teeth gleaming in the afternoon sun.

The first one lunged at me, and I kicked him in the chest. He doubled over and the next one came.

I punched him twice before he raked his claws along my arm, leaving three long gashes.

I gasped at the pain and jumped back. It was four against one; I knew I couldn't take them.

I may be one strong girl, but they were four half-wolf mutants.

The odds don't look too hot.

Two of them ganged on me this time, one brought his fist to my face, and I blocked it easy, but the other kicked me in the ribs, and I heard one or two crack.

I doubled over, but managed to side kick one in the face. He howled and brought his fist down against my back.

I fell to my knees, and they started kicking me. I had to do something or I was going to pass out.

I curled in a ball, protecting my head, but they kept on punching and kicking.

Then, I blacked out.

FANG POV

"Look guys, I'll be right back," Max said, and she left the building.

The new guys smiled and followed her out. Oh man, what the heck are they going to do to Max?!

Iggy and Sam looked at me questioningly.

"She said she knew them, I guess they may be some old time friends?" Sam said, his voice rising in the end as a question.

Those were no friends, they wanted to hurt her.

Older guys+ hot high school girl= A BIG MESS

I pulled Iggy to the side; he was frowning at the door. "Dude, wait here a second, I'm going to go check it out."

He nodded and I left, as I turned right and saw these, these, creatures running after Max.

I jumped, they were the same men, but it was like they transformed.

I was totally freaking out at this point and was about ready to go inside, I must be hallucinating.

Max rounded a corner; did she know that led to a dead end?! I couldn't leave, I ran after them, as quietly as I could, so I don't alert whatever is chasing her.

They were definitely not human.

But I was too late, by the time I turned the corner, ready to shed some blood, Max was sprawled on the ground, blood spattered everywhere.

I was about to go and shout at the wolf men, but one turned around as said, "You'll make an excellent addition to our collection."

His fist connected to the side of my neck, making me spaz. A kick to the ribs made me gasp. I furry paw held my head and smashed it into the concrete, and that's when everything went black.

MAX POV

I opened my eyes, and a very rude light was shining at me.

I had to blink a few times before I could get used to it. I tried to pull my arm up but it was strapped onto a table. I was lying down on one, and I couldn't move.

My breath started to quicken. I struggled with the straps, trying to pry my limbs free, but it was no use.

My body was sore from the beating I took only God knows how long ago. I was having breathing issues, and I really think I've broken a rib. I know what it feels like too, I've broken a couple kickboxing before.

I looked around the room, white, white, and with a finishing of white.

Colorful.

I saw a metal door on the opposite side of the door, and then I had a shocking revelation.

No, it can't be. I shook my head. But what other building in the world had metal doors, white rooms, medical equipment, and rude lighting?

Oh dear Lord.

School.

Not let's-go-learn-and-have-fun school, but let's-morph-innocent-children-for-fun school.

Honestly, I prefer the first one.

Fear seized my heart. They were going to hurt me. I could deal with the physical pain, because after while you just don't feel anything, but the emotional is far worse.

Especially now that I have a family.

Especially now that I have friends.

But they don't care.

I bit my lip, drawing blood. I was not going to cry.

I searched around the room, but there was no other exit.

If I even got that far, I was stuck to this stupid table like glue.

I don't know how long I laid there. But seconds felt like hours.

Finally I heard footsteps, and I almost peed myself. Are they going to kill me? Or just inject me with stuff?

The door opened, and my jaw dropped.

Ter Borcht.

He was still here.

Fury washed over me like nobody's business.

I haven't been this mad in years. Ter Borcht was the one who took me in and first experimented on me. He's the one who would hold my hand and tell me I wouldn't feel a thing, and then I would pass out from the pain.

He gave me the wings, then cut them off.

He made me genetically enhanced, then threw me in the streets with nothing.

He smiled, and I hissed at him.

"Max! It's so vonderful to see you! Look at you! You haf grown so much!" he strode towards me and patted my arm. I gathered a lump of phlegm from the back of my throat and spit it into his face. It hit his nose. I've always been told I had good aim.

"Ugh! You dihsgusting worthless maggot!" he slapped me across the face, and my head snapped to the side.

I slowly turned and glared icily at him, and I saw him flinch. You never, ever, want to be on the receiving end of my gaze, it could scar you for life.

"So, I see you have had a hard life, your 'mom' moves a lot eh?" he pulled up a chair and sat next to me, like we were old friends. It was as if he just forgot that I shot spit up his nose.

I didn't answer.

"You never made friends, everyone thought you vere veird, and I agree. You are not normal."

Yeah because of you!

"But you made friends here in California, no? Are you happy? You don't adapt well. You didn't adapt vell vith vings, you didn't adapt vell normal."

Nice accent, makes you look dumber than ever I practically sneered. Same old freaking accent. Hasn't he heard of Rosetta Stone?

I was grinding my teeth.

"You are vorthless, vhy do I keep you here?" it was as if he was talking to himself.

"Do you vant to know why?" he leaned closer to my face, sneering. I almost cracked right then and there. But I was not going to give him that satisfaction.

"Because, I vill make you my weapon," he whispered. I froze. What the heck did he mean? Was he going to test on me again.

"Still vont talk eh? Vell my Maxie, I have one of your beloved friends, you know, so I vould be good girl if I were you," he mocked.

WHAT?! Who did he get? Oh my god, if it was my sister or anyone I knew I was personally going to rip out his spleen, beat him with it, then feed the rest of him to a bear.

And I was being merciful right there too.

No he couldn't have gotten anyone, how would he know? Or maybe the Erasers...

NO! I mentally screamed at myself. I bet he's just toying with me, trying to make me mad.

I used that thought to calm me down. As long as he doesn't touch my family and friends, I'll be fine, I hope.

"I vill be back, we have some...unfinished business, eh Max?" Then he walked out the door like he was strutting down a runway.

Dramatic much?

FANG POV

Am I blind? Oh freak! I don't want to be like Iggy!

I opened my eyes, and thank god, I wasn't blind, but there was a really bright light shining down on me.

I cringed as I looked up again, and realized I was strapped down to a table.

I pulled, trying to free myself, but there was no use. I was in a small room, empty, except for me and the table I'm laying on.

Suddenly, everything that happened rushed to me. Max being chased by these deformed things, me running after her…

Where was Max? Was she ok?

Just them a man walked in.

"Hello," he said, grinning. He had an accent that made him sound pretty stupid. I laughed inwardly. I made a note not to like this guy, considering I'm tied to a table.

"I take it you know who Max is, no?" he asked, coming closer. What, you think I answered? I barely answered my mom; I wasn't talking to this idiot.

"Vhy vill no one answer me?!" he said exasperated.

It's your crappy accent, it leaves us speechless I thought.

"Fine, ignore me, but I vould just like you to know, you now are my prisoner, and I own you." He smirked, and I just glared, my black eyes boring in to his, he shifted uncomfortably.

Dang right he can't hold my gaze.

"Do you know vhere you are?" he leaned over me, his rancid breath in my face. God what has this guy been eating? Rats?

"You're in a genetic engineering facility, I hope you enjoy being my guinea pig," he laughed loudly, and walked out the door.

Now it made sense. Those things chasing Max weren't completely human were they?

"I know you know what he was talking about," I stared her down, "he was chasing my family too you know!"

"No, Fang, he wasn't, he was chasing me,"

They were after Max…but why?

I recall my mom telling me something before we first met Max's family.

Ok guys, we are going to meet the Ride family. But two of their children are adopted. Max, and Nudge. Nudge was adopted as a very small baby, but Max has had a rough past, got it? Don't be rude or mean or I will have your butts. Understood?

Was this Max's past? Was…was she a mutant too?

OK I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU GUYS!!!
