Nudge POV
Okay… so I got a new power. I can… uh… go invisible. That's probably the only good thing that's happened to me here. One day I just wished, in my head, that the whitecoats couldn't find me for another experiment when they were looking for me.
All of the sudden there were whitecoats at the front of my cage. Utter chaos ensued. (A/N: I borrowed that from EdwardAddict's story "Prank Wars") They couldn't see me! I waved my hand in front of my face.
I can't see my hand! I'm… I'm… invisible! I thought to myself, This is so flippin' cool! When the white coats ran to get Erasers to find me, I reappeared. Crap. They're gonna want to know where I was! I disappeared again. No I can't be invisible, Erasers will track me by my scent. Well better to stay invisible and put off the torture…
I sat, invisible in my cage, for what seemed like ages. Erasers were coming close to my cage when I finally got really scared. An Eraser opened my cage door and reached a paw into the opening. The Eraser reached out its claws. I pulled my trembling body against the back of the cage. The Eraser's claws raked against my bare calf. I whimpered.
"The little rat's in there." The Erasers said in a gruff voice.
"Get her out! Now!" a different Eraser said.
"So you like to play games, do you? Get out of the cage, NOW, before I rip you to shreds!" the first Eraser continued. I crawled to the opening of my cage and got ready for any blow that would come and reappeared.
Max POV
The flock and I are in 'our' cave. It's like a second home to us. Iggy flew into town and got about 25 energy bars. We were eating our breakfast wile deciding on our rescue plan.
"Well were gonna have to fend off Erasers the entire time, so we'll need more energy bars." Iggy said taking a bite of his fourth bar.
"You should've gotten more then!" Gazzy told Iggy.
"You should've heard her tone of voice when she said '25 energy bars? Are you having a feast?'" Iggy laughed, imitating the woman's voice.
"We can stop and get fuel elsewhere guys. We need to focus on getting Nudge." I said in my 'leaderly' voice.
"Why don't you just do whatever you did to get me? Duh." Angel said lacing every word with nine-year-old attitude.
"Yeah… too bad we had to get captured, get taken into the 'play-pen,' and get help from a bunch of hawks to do that." I said sarcastically, "That was so much fun, I think we should do that again!" (A/N: the part where Angel is saved is in ch.59-65 of The Angel Experiment) Fang and Iggy snickered at this.
"Whatever…" Angel muttered under her breath. The rest of the day was spent flying. We got to California, where the School was, and stayed at the edge of Death Valley in a cave-like hole-in-the-ground.
"We'll go to the School first thing in the morning, guys. Kay?" I said yawning. We stacked fists and fell asleep.
In the morning, we ate about three energy bars each and took off for the dreaded School. We flew until we saw the building, white, like the inside of a hospital. Just thinking about hospitals gave me goose bumps.
We circled over it a few times, too nervous to go right on in. On our third circle, Iggy spoke up.
"Uh oh…" Iggy said worried. With that there was an earth-shattering ka-boom. The School, where Nudge was being tortured, exploded before our eyes.
