Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just been so busy lately! Like, I just came back from New York City, and I have to study this gigantic script for this Annie play I'm in, and I'm also doing the Nutcracker as well, so I've been pretty busy. Sorry. Ok, now on with everything else!
Anonymous Review: I just figured out how to read anonymous reviews and found out I got a review from k from chapter 6. Sorry I haven't mentioned ya before k! Just figured this thing out! But thanks for reviewing! :D
Cadisha Ora Rhaksha Caden: Haha, yeah. I just wanted to make sure that you got the story right. And yes, Max is stubborn. I try really hard to make her in character as much as possible, but, you know, a Max with a broken heart and then an erased memory isn't exactly easy to write. Haha!
ObsessiveReader1223: Haha, I thought the exact same thing while I was writing it. But Max does act on her own free will, I just write it down. Lol! Yeah, I know there are a lot of fanfictions that has Max loses her memory, but I wanted this one to be different. So, thanks for reviewing and putting me on Story Alert!
Dawnfire101: Yeah…. Actually, I didn't plan for that to happen either, I just suddenly got the idea and typed it on the computer. I don't have a real plan for this story either, I just type down what comes to me at the moment, so I'm also surprised on how this story is turning out. Weird, huh? Haha. So, thanks for reviewing and putting me on your Favorite Stories list! :D
LovinTheSun1996: Thanks for putting me on Story Alert. You rock! ;D
Percy's-girlfriend-Pernisha: Thanks for putting me on Story Alert as well! It means a lot! :D
Yuki's Little Girl: I'm glad I got you excited for the next chapter; though, I do feel guilty for not updating in so long. Sorry!
Wow… I just realized that I got a lot more reviews than usual, which makes me feel better about my story! Thanks you guys! This chapter is for all of you!

On with the story! Oh, and btw, I changed the summary; just wanted to let you know.
Chapter 10
It was dark and cold. I was tired from all that flying, and all I really wanted to do was go to a nice, warm house and snuggle fuzzy blankets in a nice, warm bed. But I know that's not going to happen. Instead, I'm flying nonstop in the endless, black sky. I'm starting to get really cold now. I couldn't help but wonder what would of happened if I went with Fang. Would I be in a nice and comfy bed? Was this really a good idea?... Stop it, Max! I shouldn't be thinking this! I don't know who he is! No matter if he has wings like me or not, I'm not stupid enough to go with a stranger. He was in the school! He could've been a trick! I could've gotten hurt! I don't care if he says that I know him or not. Now, it's just me.
After a while, I started to worry; I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm by myself, I don't know who I am, I have nowhere to go, and I have no shelter or water. I'm truly by myself for this. What am I going to do? I could die if I keep going like this. I at least need some shelter. I looked around, down below me were some rocky mountains. I could find a cave. I started to circle around the mountains, looking for just a little opening, but I found nothing. I started to lose the last of my energy. I found myself falling a bit from time to time, and my eyes started to droop. If I don't find somewhere quick, then I might just fall from the sky. When I thought things were as worst as possible, it started to rain. Hard. I couldn't stand it. It gave me extra weight and made me freezing. I was thinking about sleeping on the ground before and just take a chance with the predators, but there's no way now, I'll freeze. I need protection from the rain as well if I'm going to make it through the night. When I thought all hope was lost, there it was. A little hole in the mountain that's very hard to see, but big enough for a bird kid to fit in. I landed there and made my way inside. Then I realized, there could be bats and all kinds of animals in here that I wouldn't know about. What if they attacked me? Then, when I took a step forward, hoping against hope that a bunch of night creatures wouldn't wake up and attack me, I could see. It's hard to explain. It wasn't like it was from daylight, because I could tell that it was dark, but I could see the cave perfectly; maybe even better than in the light. I think I have night vision! Is that even possible? Wait, what am I talking about? I'm a kid with wings, I don't think anything is impossible. I started to look around with my new night vision and saw that it was an ordinary empty cave; no bats or wolves or anything for that matter. I guess I found my temporary home for the night.
It's the middle of the night. Or at least, I think it is. I'm not sure since I don't have a clock. Anyways, I was sleeping an uneasy sleep, occasionally waking up from a nightmare about the school or Fang and the flock, or because I was really cold. I woke up just in time to hear a footstep inside the cave. I looked over to the opening of the cave to see who it was, but there was no one there. I started to freak out; what if it's an army of invisible Erasers? I can't fight them off, I barely got away last time, and that was with help. But that didn't stop me from jumping up to my feet and get into a fighting position; there's no way I'm going down without a fight. I want to knock out as many of these Eraser things as possible before I get knocked out, or even killed. I was waiting for the first punch, or any indication on where my fist victim was, but after a while, I got nothing. Are they waiting for me to give up and go back asleep? Because I'm not, I know what I heard. And don't call me paranoid, because if you were in my position, you'd be jumping at every sound.
"You might as well get this over with; I'm not going to back down!" I shouted. I wanted a reply or to get attacked at, but all I heard was my own echo, repeating the last few words of the sentence; then silence. Are they going to attack or not? I was going yell at them again when suddenly a guy's voice whispered in my ear.
"I'm not an Eraser, Max." I turned around and punched in the air, hoping I would get him; I didn't.
"I'm not you're the enemy, Max." the voice whispered again. I couldn't locate where he was.
"I'm right here, Max." the voice said like he was answering my thoughts, and then I suddenly saw him. It was boy that looked around my age with brown hair and brown eyes. He was the same height as me. He was wearing a plain dark blue shirt and jeans with white sneakers. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was just a normal person. But I knew he wasn't due to the fact that he just appeared out of nowhere right in front of me, and he had this mischievous grin- showing his bright, white teeth- that made me think he knew something I didn't, and it was pretty unnerving.
"Who are you?" I asked him, ready to attack anytime.
"Don't you know me, Maxie?" he replied, making me mad.
"No." I said, narrowing my eyes and gritting my teeth. For some reason, I don't like that nickname.
"You lost your memory, I know. That's why I'm here." He replied. How did he know that?
"How do you know that?" I asked. He must be from the school.
"Don't worry, Max. I'm not going to hurt you. I know everything about you."
"I'm not afraid of you hurting me; it's more like me hurting you. And how do you know everything about me? Are you a stalker?" I asked. He just laughed.
"It's not like that, Max. We knew each other before you lost your memory."
"That's what Fang said too. You must be another trap from the school." I said. I really need to prepare for a fight.
"No fight is needed, Max. I'm here to help you the rest of the way to saving the world." Here we go again with the saving of the world. "The story Fang told you is true, so is the part where you need to save the world. That's what you were made for. I've been helping you through your mind, but I never needed to actually help physically, until now."
"Wait, you're the Voice?" I asked.
"Yes."
There is your Chapter 10! Sorry for leaving it on a cliffhanger. Anyways, review and tell me what you think. Also, check out my poll on my profile as well. So far it's a tie between Max and Total. Ok, R&R! Thanks! :D
