ENJOY!

"Get ready for a fight, because you are going down" Josh said with a smirk on his face.

I looked over at the erasers, they were about 25 of them, they were the new and improved erasers, so I would have to be the only one fighting, because I bet nobody else would be able to touch them. I scooted back so I could talk to Fang, because he was the closest.

"These erasers are advanced, we need to get the kids away, I think you, Iggy and I are going to be the only ones that will be able to fight, oh and maybe Angel since she can do mind reading, can convince them." I told him.

"OK" he answered quietly.

"Hey stop talking!" Josh yelled.

"Sure, whatever you say your majesty." I said sarcastically.

They started advancing, we shooed the little kids out. Fang, Iggy and I made a triangle, so we all had each others backs. The erasers started circling around us.

"MAX DUCK" I heard Fang yell.

I ducked down, seeing a eraser fly over my head and land on the ground in front of me. I started fighting him, it was really easy since I had been advanced in skill and speed and everything. I kicked and punched. I ran up to an eraser, and bent their neck back, while hearing an satisfying crunch. At least that one was a robot, because I would have felt bad if it was a real person. There were more erasers and everything flowing in. I saw Angel fly in the cave.

"Get out of here." I yelled in my head.

"No, I can help" she answered.

It sounded really weird to have someone talk to you in your head. She flew over to the human triangle we had made and went right into the middle. Erasers started fighting each other and jumping over the cliff. I knew Angel was doing her job. But our job was to keep her safe.

"Lean back." I yelled.

We all leaned back so we were hovering over Angel, it was uncomfortable, but then we got back into fighting stance. The eraser that flew over our heads trying to get to Angel landed on the ground in front of Iggy. He started fighting and brought the eraser down.

We only had 5 more erasers to beat. After Iggy beat an eraser, another one went after him and knocked him down. He started strangling him, I ran over and jumped onto the erasers back.

"GET OFF OF HIM, DON'T TOUCH HIM." I yelled.

I pulled the eraser off and stood up and started fighting. Angel left quickly. But she came back with Nudge and Gazzy who helped her carry Iggy out of the cave without being seen.

Everyone then started going after Fang. So I ran over and helped him fight them off. He looked really tired, it looked like he was going to pass out.

"Fang I have control, you can leave I am fine." I told him.

"No, I am fine, but I won't leave you alone." He answered.

An eraser punched Fang right in the stomach, he went down. I got in front of him and beat all the erasers. When I was finally done. I looked down and Fang was still on the ground breathing rapidly. I had barely noticed how much my ribs hurt, until I stopped fighting.

The rest of the flock came running in.

"Yeah! We did it, they beat the erasers." Nudge screamed.

"Umm..." Gazzy said. "Look at Fang."

Nudge screamed and ran over to him.

"What happened?" she asked.

"An eraser punched him in the stomach and since he was already really tired, he passed out. It looks like he is barely breathing." I answered.

"We have to get him to an ambulance!" Nudge screamed.

"Does anyone know CPR?" Iggy asked.

"I do." I answered.

An eraser came after me and punched me in the stomach. I doubled over, then almost passed out. Max came over in front of of me and started fighting off the erasers.

After Max had fought off the erasers the flock came in and started talking. Max said she knew how to do CPR, but then I passed out.

Fang had stopped breathing, so I put my hands on his chest, and tried to get him to breathe. Since I was trained in CPR, I had taken a class in 5th grade. My parents were very cautious and wanted to make sure I knew how to do it, thats good that I know. He started gasping for breath, so I put my mouth on his and took a deep breathe and breathed out, his started breathing pretty normally again after I did that a few times.

I came back into consciousness when I felt soft warm lips, I opened my eyes, Max was giving me CPR. I started to sit up, but Max pushed me back down. When she took her lips off, my lips were tingling and felt really good.

"Thank Goodness you are alive, we had thought we lost you. I would have felt bad because that was my fault that you got punched in the stomach, I should have forced you to leave, because I have been advanced, so I can fight those erasers easily." Max said all in one breathe.

"Wow, that was a Nudge moment." I said with a chuckle afterwards.

Everyone came up and hugged me, Angel and Max hugged me the longest.

"Let's go home." Angel said.

"OK" we all chorused.

When we finally got home, Ella came running out of the house.

"Where have you been, we were all worried sick." she said.

"Sorry, we got into an eraser fight." I answered.

We went to Fang's house, to have a rehearsal for our concert today. When we got into his room we got our instruments and started playing.

"Hey Max, we forgot about this, but you need to paint wings on your guitar, all of us have wings on our instruments, it is our band symbol." Iggy announced

He went over and got a jar of paint out of the closet in the back of the room. He came over and gave it to me, with a paint brush. I opened the paint, dipped in the brush, and started painting on the back of my guitar. I drew a pair of white wings, I thought they looked really good. When Fang, Iggy and Gazzy tried to look I pushed them away and told them to wait until I was done. I also wrote 'the flock' in bubble letters since that was the name of our band.

"You can come look now, I am finished." I said.

"That is great" Fang said.

"Great Job!" Iggy and Gazzy said in unison again.

"Thanks, let's practice." I said happily.

I am really excited since this is my first concert that we have had. We started by playing 'More Like Falling in Love' By: Jason Gray, then went on to 'One True God' By: Mark Harris. Then we played 'Human' By: Natalie Grant and finished with 'To God Alone' By: Aaron Shust. We didn't mess up on anything, so we were ready for the concert. I hadn't noticed that Nudge had watched us, but she was clapping really loudly.

"Max and Fang you sound really good together" Nudge said with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Thanks" we both said in unison.

I looked over at the rest of the band and everyone was staring at me.

"What, do I have toilet paper stuck to my shoe or something." I asked.

"No" everyone chorused, while laughing.

"Then why are you all staring at me weirdly." I asked again.

"No reason." Iggy said with a mischievous grin on his face.

I was about to say something else when I started to get a brain attack, I fell on the ground and screamed. My brains felt like they were going to explode. When I fell I landed on my ribs, so they hurt really badly.

I saw a person running away from a house, the person was Jeb, and the house was ours. My mom came out of the house screaming.

Then the scene changed.

Jeb was in the 'school', working on a little baby, it looked like he was trying to make it into a eraser.

"Well, I did well, they were tricked. They actually thought I was good and worked for the FBI, they didn't know I was actually an evil scientist this whole time." Jeb said to someone I couldn't see.

When my vision was over, I started to open my eyes, but I could do it easily because they had turned off the lights. I looked up to see Fang, Iggy, Ian and Kevin all staring at me.

"Hey Max, are you okay?" Gazzy asked.

"I think so." I answered quietly.

I got up and said I was fine. I felt fine now, wow that was really weird.

"It's fine, I am fine now" I said

I looked at the clock and realized that we would have to get to be at the concert in about 2 hours.

"Hey you guys, we have to be at the church in about 2 hours. I am going to go home and get ready." I said. "Bye, see you soon, I am so excited."

"Bye"

I walked home and went up to my room, Ella came running into my room.

"Your concert is today, can I dress you and make you pretty? Please!" Ella shouted, while giving me her bambi eyes.

"Sure." I answered.

She came back out of my closet with a dress that I have never worn. It was dark purple, with a bow around the stomach. It was really long, it came to about the middle of my shins. The bow was a light purple. The straps were black. I really liked the dress, but I had nowhere to where it.

"How about this?" Ella asked.

"Isn't that kind of fancy for a concert where I will be dancing?" I asked.

"Well-, your right." she answered.

She walked back into the closet, and came back out again with ripped-up dark blue jeans and a nice plain dark blue v-neck t-shirt with a blue and white striped camisole to go underneath. She also chose my sky blue converse out of my millions of converse.

"How about this?" she asked.

"Sure" I answered.

I walked over and grabbed the outfit, went into the bathroom and changed. When I came out, Ella was in my room with all of her make-up. I walked over and sat down, I told her no make-up was allowed, so she just curled my hair.

I walked out of the door after eating a snack. I met Fang, Iggy and Ian and Kevin around their house. Iggy and Ian got on Iggy's motorcycle and headed away. Kevin had his own car which he was driving. I put my guitar in the trunk of the motorcycle, it was so cool, because it had a trunk. I sat down behind Fang, after he gave me his hot pink helmet, he had a hot pink one for Nudge. He told me to hang on, but I didn't know where to hang on, so I just put my arms around his waist. My arms started tingling with a pleasant feeling and my stomach did flip-flops.

"You ready?" Fang asked.

"Yup." I answered.

He looked back at me and gave me a full out grin. My stomach started doing all kinds of flips. I smiled back and he turned back around and started driving, he was a really good driver.

When we got to the church, Ian, Kevin nor Iggy were there so we went inside and started setting up, when we were done setting up, they busted through the door, and put their instruments down. The curtains opened, so we hurried to get to our spots. Fang introduced our songs, and I looked out into the audience and found my family excluding my dad. My mom looked really worried. I wondered what was wrong. We started singing,

We finally finished after our four songs. Everyone was clapping really loud, so the curtains finally closed and I went and got my water bottle, took a huge swig and collected my guitar.

When we were finally home, I ate dinner and went straight to bed.

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of crying. I walked down the stairs and looked in everybody's room, but then when I checked my parents room, I saw my mom on the bed crying. I ran in and asked what was wrong.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked.

"Jeb is missing!" she said in between sobs.
