MAX POV

So there we were. Just halfway trusting Light into not leading us into a trap. It felt weird knowing that I wasn't the one making the calls right now. Fang must have somehow knew this because right at that moment, his hand brushed mine and suddenly I felt much calmer. I turned my head and gave him a small smile and then turned my focus back in front of me, trying to clear my head. This was no the time to be getting all distracted by Fang.

"Sharp left in 5 steps!" Light ordered us.

Because of the fact that I was still trying to get over the fact that I was being bossed around, even though I agreed to it, I almost turned right instead of left, therefore almost running smack dab into a group of whitecoats facing the other way looking for us.

"Run faster!" I yelled, not caring if the whitecoats heard me. They would have seen us anyway. And besides I was 99 percent sure that we could outrun them without a problem. Oh, how what fun it is to run away from idiotic people every day! Though it never gets tiring or boring, I would defiantly prefer NOT to run away from them EVERY SINGLE day of the week. Though of course I would never not want to not run away from them and get caught. Again. Wait was that right? 'Never not want to not run'? Sure, it sounds fine to me. Anyways we all started spring down the hallway after Light, who seemed to be going faster and faster.

"Just a few more steps! I'm going to try to grab his cage and open it in one movement! Or at least grab it and keep going! Watch my back! And please, please grab him if I miss!" Light sounded so...not light. She sounded like all of the emotions she was feeling at that moment were weighing her down. Yes, it was her bossing me around again and I did not like that part, but I would not let Koda be trapped here and have Light be free, out in the open, save and away from here. I knew it was bad of me but at that moment, I decided that if for some reason we could not get Koda, I would make Light stay here too. Yes, I know that makes me seem heartless but..he needed her with him more way more than we needed her with us. But at that same time, how much help would she be if she was stuck in a cage, able to do nothing to get out? So that left one option. Koda was going to get out of here with us. No other option. By the time I had reached this decision, Light had reached Koda's cage. She screamed for him to get ready and to be ready to jump out immediately when she opened the door but he did not move. His eyes were closed and he had a really big bruise on the side of his head.

"Koda! Wake up! Koda, i'm sorry but we don't have time right now! Please, just this once, suck up the pain and move, MOVE, MOVE!" Thankfully he stirred a little bit. Light yanked the door open but couldn't slow down enough to grab him. So I reached down to get him.

"Don't be afraid. I'm a friend of Light's. I'm one of the good guys here," I said trying to give a reassuring smile to him. He didn't answer so I reached in and grabbed him and once I had him in my arms, he let out a piercing scream that lingered in my ears for a while.

"Koda! None of that right now! She is helping me!So stop with the screaming and be good please!" Light snapped at Koda. One more hallway to pass and then there was a giant window that we could break and get out of thanks to our super handy wings. I was behind everyone because I was the one who stopped and got Koda. Halfway while i was passing by that last hallway, i tripped! I normally never just trip!Angel was right in front of me and read my mind while I was falling and caught Koda when I tossed him to her. For some reason she looked scared. I looked down and saw my ankles tangled up in some wire. Crap. I did not have time for this. I looked back and saw that the whitecoats were almost at us.

"Angel run!" I yelled at her. Still looking terrified, she turned and took off through the already broken window. I felt a breath on the back of my neck and turned my head ready to defend myself.

"Hello Max. So good to see you here and well again." Jeb. He could never just leave me alone!

"Jeb, what brings you here on this oh so fine day in hellish land?" If he paid attention to me, my flock could get away and then at least they will be safe. Slightly turning my head, I could see that Nudge, Iggy, Gazzy, Light, and Angel with Koda were already way up in the air, just dots in the clear blue sky. Only Fang lingered so close. Go! I thought. Go and take care of the flock! come back for me later! I will be fine I will hold my own! Somehow he understood this all in the expression in my eyes and turned to join the rest of the flock. I was surrounded.

"Maximum, I will be talking to you in a few hours. After the...medicine wears off." And with that little happy note I felt a stab in the back of my neck and then all I saw was darkness. My last thought while conscious being I'm stuck here and my flock had just left me. They didn't even try to help me. But at least they are with Fang.

There ya goes. The next chapter that I was so glad to write and put up here! Please read and review! Oh and i'm still looking for names for the chapters so leave your ideas for those in a review too please! love you all!
