Disclaimer: Mr. James Patterson is a renowned author who was written tons of books, including the Maximum Ride trilogy. My name is not James Patterson and I have not written tons of books (much to my despair.) So therefore, I don't own it.

A/N: Well hello again everyone! Bad news…my awesome beta did not want to spoil the book which was not in her library, so I had to edit this chapter on my own. Sorry if it is full of mistakes… But yes, it does have a spoiler. Sorry. Well, I won't be able to post all of the chapters before my two week hiatus (which starts on Saturday), again, sorry. Well...I might be able to, but don't count on it. The last chapter is chapter fourteen so I have (counts on fingers), 4 chapters to edit left by tomorrow. So don't expect it. Did you see what happened on Maximum I don't believe it…There'd better be a movie… (looks angry, hair starts flaming) oh ouch! Ahaha. Anyways, sorry about lack of updates. I had drama camp last week and I'm having a Harry Potter movie marathon this week so I've been busy wishing I wasn't a muggle. Thehe. Um, one last thing, I will be posting, right after I post this, a Van Helsing fan fiction. PLEASE READ IT! Alright, I've said enough. Well, enjoy!

I flew through the air with one destination in mind: The School. Yes I was going back. But before you start freaking out, I'll explain. I have a brain remember?

Remember Gabriella? Well, it was time I broke her out of that torture chamber. It should be easy with my awesome new superpowers right? Wrong. Still, my mind was made up. I had no idea what was in store.

I was feeling particularly giddy after my acceptance into the Flock. Yes, I had grown, over two days if you can believe it, to love them. They were awesome. Angel was sweet and cute, Gazzy was pretty funny, Nudge was the talkative one of the group, Iggy was pretty cool, and I kind of looked up to Fang and Max. They were a great flock. I couldn't have wished for a better one.

As soared over a nice quaint little town. The people below looked like ants. I would have stopped to rest, but it was a small town and I didn't have any time to spare. I had to get to the School as quick as I could.

My mind wandered about what Gabriella was doing right now. I hope she didn't think I had forgotten about her. How could I?

The School was getting close. For a moment, I was afraid. I didn't want to go back there. What if they caught me? I didn't want to be selfish but would Gabriella want me to get caught? Of course not. She would want me to keep the hard earned freedom I had received. Or would she?

I shook my head to rid it of those thoughts. I was going to go in there and get her. I had promised. I would do as much as I could to get her out of the School. If I failed, at least I had tried to do what was right. That's what friends did.

Before long, the School was close enough to be seen. I ignored all the thoughts about fleeing in my head. I could not turn back, not now. I would never forgive myself.

I landed, silently into the "playground", the very place I used to escape. Bitterness swelled deep within my core. I remembered the pain. I had spent the last few months running from it, suppressing it, but no longer.

I burst through the door and the sirens went off. I ignored them. This was the easiest root to the captivity room Gabriella was in.

Again, I heard the sound of the Erasers and several scientists were yelling at each other.

But I was determined to get Gabriella out of here. I was her only hope.

I kicked open the door of Gabriella's captivity room. I looked around. Her cage was gone. Where was she?

I bent down. I saw two glowing eyes I didn't recognize. "Please? Where is Gabriella?" I asked.

Two leopard spotted hands clutched the bars on the cage. "Gabriella?" The voice was musical sounding.

What ever was in the cage pushed its head close to the cage door. In the light I saw a human face with cat fur all over it. She also had cat eyes. "I think she's gone. I took her place."

I felt a sinking feeling. "Where did she go?" I asked hurriedly.

The cat-girl sounded dazed. "She's….dead."

"No...No! It's can't be!" I screamed.

A couple other voices in cages chimed in.

"Yes, she is."

"Arthur…I'm sorry."

"Go Arthur! She's gone!"

I stepped back, running into the wall. Hot tears caressed my face. This couldn't be! Why?!

The girl spoke up "Take me with you!" she looked at me with worried eyes.

Regaining a bit of my sanity, I rushed over to her cage. I grabbed the lock and then the Erasers and several whitecoats barged in, Jeb and Ari among them.

The Whitecoats grabbed me and I struggled. The last thing I remember seeing was Jeb's satisfied face and Ari smirking.

Then I woke up.

A/N: Ah, yes, major spoilers. Well, say "wand" in your review if you've read my author notes. Well, see you next chapter whether it's posted tomorrow or two weeks from now…well, bye!
