i wud like it noted that Fang was taken half way through book 3

He searched every inch of the house twice but came up blank and at about five he gave up and headed home. Since they had left and Fang had found out he had ignored his 'parents' so as usual he walked straight into the house and up the stairs to his room where he locked the door behind him. after an hour of lying on his bed he got bored and logged onto his computer. He had decided to start updating his blog again, it wasn't nearly as exciting as the stuff Max had written but he figured if they had loved him so much before why not now?

Hey Fang here,

Not much to report on, Max is still gone, school still sucks, Tiara is still a b*tch, and I miss Max more than ever. You know when I dreamed of finding out who I was I pictured a normal family with normal issues, not this, but now... I wouldn't accept anything less than the past I had. I'm gonna ask you once again, if anyone has news on where the flock and Max are please help me out. I'm more determined than ever to find out who did this to me, it says here that it was the school to destroy the flock but if that is so then why am I still alive? They could have killed me like they did that clone but they decided to hide me… why?

The flock

"Max." Angel whispered crawling over to the bars of the small cage.

"Yeah baby?" Max replied attempting a smile but failing miserably.

"Do you think Fang will come for us?" She whispered, her large blue eyes rimmed with red from lack of sleep and crying.

"I don't think so honey." Max dropped her gaze to her lap. Thinking back to her confrontation with Fang she explained why she knew Fang would not be coming for them.

"Oh." She sighed in resignation.

"We don't need him to get out of here Ange, I'm pretty sure we've proven that we're just fine without him." Max attempted to sound confident but her thoughts betrayed the feeling of hopelessness.

"Max?" Came another voice. Max turned her head to see Gazzy on her other side, a large cut above his left eyebrow, accompanied by the many bruises and cuts across his young face. Even at twelve he was still Max's little trooper, no matter how old he got she would always remember him when he was younger, so brave and fearless.

"Yeah Gaz?"

"We will get out of here, with or without Fangs help." He said determinedly trying to show their leader that he wouldn't give up.
"See Angel, we'll be out of here soon, I promise." Max blocked out her thoughts, sick of bringing her flock down, it was time for their leader to be back, Fang was alive, he seemed happy and he didn't want anything to do with them, she wouldn't shed another tear over Fang.

Feeling the knew determination from Max the flock reacted immediately, paying attention.

"We need a plan, we've been here a week, that's long enough for me, don't know about the rest of you." Max's voice was firm and held no fear.

"Heck yeah, time to blow this joint!" Iggy grinned. Max was back.

Fang's P.O.V.

Now when you're in the middle of a very important dream about your MIA best friend/ girlfriend/ flock leader and you get interrupted by a loud knocking at your door in the middle of the night you get rather peeved, of coarse this had to happen to me, I don't know who the hell this stupid man was but I heard yelling downstairs disturbing me from my peaceful Max make-out dream (no I am not perverted I just miss her), then someone running up the stairs and banging on my door, before I could even get out of bed to scream at the imbecile my door flew open and four men stood in front of me with huge grins in place.

"Nick get out!" My 'mom' yelled from downstairs.

"Shut up!" a deep voice growled then I heard a loud thump and something falling to the ground. I never got on with my foster parents but no one ever hit someone I knew without getting severely punished. I put up a good fight if I do say so myself, but in the end the two thugs that had managed to survive my attack stuck some sort of rag drenched in some sour stuff over my nose and mouth and before I could react I was out like a stone.

"He's been out rather long, shouldn't we be worried?" A soft voice murmured.

"He will be fine Valencia." Came a gruff voice, followed by a huff.

"Don't you think it was a bit much to send the wolves after him?"

"He didn't get hurt, but I can't say the same for my Erasers." The male sighed. "At least we know he will be able to defend himself, he luckily never forgot that."

"Jeb Batchelder it's your fault he lost his memory in the first place." The female scolded.

"It was for his own safety Valencia, you know that." The man argued. "He's coming round."

Groaning loudly I rolled my head to the side where the voices were coming from, and lazily opened my eyes, two people stood before me, a nervous looking woman and a scowling man.

"Good to have you back Fang." The man, or should I say Jeb… wait what?! Jeb, Batchelder!? I jumped up off the operating table I had been lying on and slammed the man against the wall. I glared at him and brought my face close to his.

"I remember more than you know Batchelder." I spat in his face before releasing him, he dropped to the ground and stood up shakily, rubbing his neck where his lab coat had wrapped tightly around his neck.

"I never doubted you would Fang." Jeb smiled warmly at me. "I knew it was a smart decision not to kill you, look what Max did, she saved the world just like she was supposed to, and she didn't need you to do it." Jeb continued with his little speech while I fought an internal battle, maybe he's right, maybe Max doesn't need me. I shook the though off, she needs me, I know she does. My mind flashed back to the first time I saw her room, pictures of me hung everywhere, if Max didn't need me then surely they wouldn't be there? I snapped out of my little battle with myself just as Jeb finished.

"So you see Fang you had a very vital role to play even if you don't realise it yet."

Anger shot through me and I clenched my fists tightly.

"Jeb, calm it down." A soft voice came from behind Jeb and my eyes shot over to a woman (Ok I wud describe Dr M but I haven't read da 1st 3 books in over 6 months so I can't member, same for Jeb and Ella) a polite yet sorrowful smile lay on her lips as she looked at me.

"Hello Fang." She greeted. Something about her was familiar, I just didn't know what, like I had met her before. I wracked my brains and two minutes later my eyes grew huge.

"Dr M!?" I asked in disbelief. I couldn't believe it, the woman who had taken Max's chip out was standing in front of me. "What are you doing here!?" I continued.

"I came to help you." She replied, her voice still cheerful but with a tinge of regret.

Max's P.O.V.

We were ready, we were hyped up to get out of this place once again and then blow it up and create some wonderful fireworks when Jeb conveniently strolled in.

"Hello Max." He greeted as he did every day when he came in to give us our little pep talks about 'how this was all necessary and that it would all be over soon'. Oh yeah it was so necessary to keep us in cages for a week. The worst part was they hadn't done anything to us, well except when they occasionally set the Erasers on us, hence why Gazzy has a busted up face. I bet I didn't look too great myself; I hadn't come in contact with a shower, fresh clothes, and a hairbrush in a while. I know it sound like I've softened but hey it's just awesome having all the stuff you don't usually get when you're on the run.

"Yeah yeah, could we skip the chit chat and cut right to the chase, I'm quite busy you know." I pretended to inspect my nails and look bored, it seemed to work since a miffed look settled on Jeb's face for a moment before he replaced it with a smile.

"Of coarse you are. Don't worry I won't be bothering you for much longer but I would appreciate it if you would come with me peacefully."

I snorted. "Oh yeah and that is bound to happen right?" I said sarcasm dripping fro every word.

He sighed and shook his head. "Now Angel." He turned his attention to Angel's crate, frowning slightly. "I thought we had come to the conclusion that it wouldn't work."

"Probably because you don't have a heart, or a brain for that matter." She snapped at him. I grinned proudly at her where she sat with her arms crossed and a stern look on her face. I am proud to say I taught her that! Reading my thoughts she winked at me and a small smile graced her face.

Fangs P.O.V.

"Help me?" I was confused.

"Excuse me for a moment Fang, I hear Max is planning an escape, now since we'll need her for a while longer I better go put a stop to it." He spoke so casually. He was an idiot for saying that cause let's just say Max is a delicate subject for me.

Before he knew what was coming I had him crushed against the wall, I had the satisfaction of watching his face turn pink to red then slowly purple. He clutched uselessly at my hand attempting to get it off of him but at the last minute I dropped him, he gasped for breath and didn't make a move to stand up.

"Where is she you bastard!?" I spat, my anger taking control of me, I couldn't recall ever feeling this angry.

"Do you want to remember?" Jeb gasped out, his colour turning back to normal, shade by shade.

"How?" I asked my tone not changing, my voice still icy.

Ten minutes later Jeb had managed to get enough strength to stand up on shaky legs.

"Well, that wasn't a pleasant experience." He noted a smile coming back to his face. "Follow me Fang." Grudgingly I did, Dr M right behind me.

"When you were all created Fang you were made in pares, you're perfect matches I suppose you could say, you and Max, Nudge and Iggy. We did this thinking it would make you stronger, it worked better than we ever planned, too well in fact." He stopped to shake his head and sigh before continuing. "Three years ago Itex had decided it was time to take over, they planned to reduce the worlds population by a half, I helped Max as much I could hoping she would understand the importance that you stick together, that she stop them before it was too late. Of coarse then Itex got you, now this was a major set back in the plan, I realised she wasn't going to be able to do succeed unless I intervened. That night after much persuasion and threats we managed to get you away from the flock." He stopped once again, looking me in the eye this time, determined I understand. "I raised you, Max, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel and you are as far as I'm concerned my children, I understand you do not feel the same way and never will but I could not and would not let them kill you, I went against orders and cloned you, the same way we had done to Max, I found it easier to kill this clone but there was still the issue of you being alive, Max couldn't find out or everything I had risked and done would be useless, I drained you memory, and created an alias for you, you were thought to have amnesia after-"

I cut him off mid sentence "After my parents died in a severe car accident that killed them."

"Yes." He nodded, "The clone was killed and as I knew she would Max came after you, when she found the clone she lost it. I have never seen her so powerful or more lethal in my life, in a matter of months every Itex branch was down, the scientists killed, the experiments set free, Those that survived fled. They attempted to start a new branch but over the past years Max has made sure they were wiped out and never returning. I was pleased with her work but highly disturbed by the way she had sunk into depression when it was all over, I watched her suffer for months, the rest of the flock began school but she rarely left the house, she hadn't visited her mother in years, my invisible daughter was destroyed. I knew I couldn't keep you hidden any longer so conveniently I made sure you went to the same school as them hoping they would figure out who you really were, it took Angel two years to fathom up the courage to tell Max and in that time I had become desperate enough to ask for more help, this came in the form of Max's mother, since I knew Angel would reject me if I attempted to contact her I had Valencia speak to her, she convinced Angel to confront Max and in turn got her daughter back." My eyes were almost out my head by this point, Dr M was Max's Mom!? Jeb did this to her!?

"I cannot say I regret doing what I did, but I am not pleased with myself either, it was necessary but now she needs you." He concluded. My fists were clenched, my jaw tight and my eyes saw red, I took a few calming breaths before glancing at Dr M, she had her head hung down in shame.

"Alright, do it." I nodded once and Jeb grinned hugely before leading me to a small room with a single chair in the centre, he instructed me to sit on it and I obliged. I sat down and immediately asps locked around my wrists and my ankles so I was unable to get up. Instinctively I began to struggle but Dr M walk over.

"Don't worry Fang, calm down and relax, resisting won't help." She said kindly , touching his shoulder before leaving the room and locking the door behind her, he was alone in the white room, silence encapsulated me as I waited, not specifically but I knew for certain it wasn't pleasant.

Pain shot through my head and involuntarily I let out a cry of pain, lights flashed behind my eyes, as I griped the arms of the hairs as if that could dull the pain.

I sat on watch, totally attuned to my surroundings, Max, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel were scattered around the campfire as they slept peacefully ,I stared at the fire, blending into the tree I leant against. A single twig snapping in the silent night caused me to tense up and sweep the campsite, nothing. Unease crept through my body, I couldn't see anything, even with my raptor vision but I had a gut feeling that someone was here. I glared into the dark night, there was no moon to help me spot any movement. Out of no where a light chuckle caused me to abandon my station and leap up, exposing me. Then I saw them, a group of mutants, each standing over one of the flock, perfectly camouflaged so as not even a hair on their heads was out of place in the background.

"We found him." One whispered in a deep voice. Steps came from the right and I spun to face it, out of the bushes stepped Jeb Batchelder in all his traitorous glory.

"Hello Fang." He smiled his usual warm smile but it slipped from his face as he stared at the dark expression on my face. Something wasn't right and I knew it, Max would have woken up by the voices by now, they should all be kicking mutant butt right now. The confusion must have shown on my face because Jeb chuckled lightly. He took something from his pocket and tossed it to me I caught it effortlessly and stared at the round bomb like shape in my hand, sleeping gas. How could I have missed it!?

"They will be fine Fang." Jeb turned to look at the mutants who had shaken off their camouflage by now. "Aren't they magnificent?" Jeb mused, his pride radiating off of him in waves.

I didn't answer instead I just glared at them. They flinched away but only for a second before composing themselves.

"I knew I needed something truly powerful to get to you and I have to say they are pretty close to the most successful recombinant Experiments I have created, the flock is number one of course.

"What do you want Jeb." I spat through clenched teeth.

"I want you Fang, I will leave the flock unharmed I give you my word, but you must come with us peacefully."

"Yeah like I care about your word." I hissed, absolutely seething.

"I was afraid we would have to do this the hard way." Jeb sighed and before I could fully take in what he had said I blacked out.

Memories flooded my mind, Max 2, blowing up Itex, going to school, almost getting torn apart by Ari, rescuing Angel, Max kissing me on the beach, being rescued by Jeb ,living in the E-house, growing up with Max and the flock, being experimented on, the list was endless but one thing I did notice Max was in every memory I had ever had, whether I was just thinking about her or fighting with her or just having fun with her, she was always there.
