Okay, so in the last Chapter I forgot to thank you Yodie for the idea on Max's power...So now I say: Thank you. Another thing because my slow friend that "reviewed" my story: It is supposed to be obvious that the person in Max's dreams is Fang...just in case you didn't catch on. One more thing before I continue on, After I update the chapter after this one; I'll be updating slower because I'm starting school on Wednesday. I'll try not to go over a week. So, thank you and now let's get on with the story

Fang P.O.V

Max didn't come back to school for the rest of the day. When she started running again she hadn't turned back. I knew she wouldn't, she probably went home. The look in her eyes was filled with terror at what she had done to Sam, her face had completely paled. I knew what she had been thinking but when she said it out loud it hurt to see her that way. I'm a freak. She wasn't though,she just didn't realize it. If she thought she was a freak, what would she think if she knew Iggy, Nudge, and I had wings? I shook my head. It was midnight and I was sitting on my bed. I couldn't get any sleep. Max hadn't tried talking to me at all. Not that I thought she would call, I didn't know what to expect from her. The best that I could guess was that she was just ignoring everyone.

This wasn't like the Max I knew, though, she wasn't the confident Max I knew. It was a side of her I never saw before. Then I thought back to Sam. That freaking shit, it was all his fault. Like he really didn't expect me to hit him after what he said about Max. Yeah, right...

Flashback

"It's not like she really blew you off," Dylan had said. I was standing only a few feet away and their voices were loud and obnoxious, like always.

"You're right. I mean, Max does seem kind of like a bitch sometimes. She didn't even try to make amends, it is kind of refreshing," When I heard Max's name I stopped right behind him. "Maybe I'll give her another try. She'll be worth the wait, fine little thing like her." The little snake laughed at his own joke.

"Watch your mouth, Sam," I spat.

The both of them turned around Sam's eyes slightly widened and then a sneer appeared on his face. Dylan just glared at me. "Aw, what's wrong Fangy? Don't like anyone talking about your little Maxie?" Dylan scoffed.

"She's no ones little Maxie," My voice held menace in it.

Sam flinched at my tone but Dylan just kept glaring at me. Sam then said,"You can have her when I'm done. Though it won't be for a while-" That's when I punched him.

End of flashback.

"Bastard," I cursed at the memory. My phone rang and for an instant just before I answered it I hoped it was Max. It wasn't, it was Ella.

"Fang?" She sounded worried and close to tears.

I sat up. "What's wrong?"

She sniffled. "You haven't happened to heard from Max have you?"

"No, why?" Panic took grip of my heart.

There was silence on the other end. "Ella?" She coughed and in a hushed voice she said, "She never came home, Fang. We don't know where she is. I've looked everywhere for her!" She started to get hysterical. "She's never done this before! I mean she has but she always leaves something to tell us where she went. But now, nothing! You ran after her after what happened with Sam! Didn't she say anything to you?" Her voice kept getting higher.

"Ella, calm down," I said even though there was a storm starting up in me. "No, she didn't," It irritated me that she didn't. "Don't worry, I'll go out to find her."

"Right now?" She said in a bewildered tone.

"Yes, Right now!" I hung up the phone and out it in my pocket. I opened my bedroom window then jumped out, snapping my wings out. The little idiot, where the hell did she go off to?

Third Person P.O.V

Valencia Martinez had no idea where her daughter was but with every minute that passed she started to grow more than worried. Ella had told her what had happened that day but she had thought Max would just shut her self in her room refusing to talk to everyone. When she didn't come back she was started thinking that maybe they had gotten her. She couldn't take it anymore, she picked up the phone and called Jeb.

"Hello?" The voice was tired, it was nearing two in the morning.

"Jeb, Max is missing."

Jeb was more alert this time. "What do you mean she's missing? Where did she go?"

"I don't know! If I did I wouldn't have called you at this time in the morning!" She moved around with the cordless phone. "What if they have her?"

"Trust me, Valencia, if they had her, they would have called everyone and would be celebrating right now. She probably went off on her own, she's done more reckless things before," His tone was so sure that she wasn't caught.

"Okay," She was still uneasy but she bade him goodbye and hung up.

Where was she?

Still third person P.O.V

Fang had stayed out all night trying to find Max. He couldn't help but think that, despite her abilities, she might have gotten hurt. He risked letting her see his wings by swooping down low, going up high, landing where ever he thought she might be. Fang didn't find her anywhere and he went home feeling like a failure for some reason. All he could think about the whole time was Max and falling asleep in his biology class. JJ had to keep poking him to stay awake. As for Sam and Dylan as punishment for what happened, the two of them and Fang had to serve a week of after school detention. The school rarely gave out harsh punishments. They made up for it in the evaluation. The bell rang to signal the end of class, making a half asleep Fang wake up. He shook his head and stood up gathering his stuff. Zelda Wells had been eying him for a few minutes from across the room.

Zelda finally came up to him. "Have you heard anything from Max?"

Fang looked up startled. He had known Zelda for a year and counting, she had never come up to someone just to chat. He knew that Max had befriended her the other day a few classes before she ran off but he didn't believe Zelda had intentionally wanted to be befriended by anyone. "How did you find out about Max?"

"Other than the fact that she hasn't been back since lunch yesterday, Ella and Nudge found my number and called at almost one in the morning," She had no idea how they managed to find her number but she suspected that Nudge hacked into the school's information system and hacked into Zelda's file. "So, anything?"

Fang's eyes darkened. "Nothing."

Zelda felt disappointed and watched Fang turn around and leave. Max had been really nice the other day to her, she felt bad about what had happened. Max was probably freaking out about it, she probably had no idea what had happened. It was too bad, Zelda had actually looked forward to hanging with Max and her friends. Zelda walked out side to where she usually sat. From far she saw a few birds coming and got out a few pieces of bread. She dropped them onto the grass for them to enjoy. Then something chirped from behind her.

Zelda turned around to see a small white dove land on a tree that was a foot or two away. "Hi, Roger."

The bird looked around. "Hello, Zelda."

"How are you doing?" She sat down and leaned against the tree. She looked up at the sky and wondered what it felt like to fly.

Roger flew down in front of her. "Quite well, although, I was attacked by a crazy Hawk the other day. That was about more than nine miles away I think. Something scared it away and I'm fine though. I have to say; more than fine."

Zelda inspected him. "Where did he get you?"

"Sadly, it was a she. She clawed me on my right wing."

Zelda didn't see a cut not even a scratch. In fact, he looked better than he had the day before. "I don't see any injuries on you."

Roger chirped happily. "A miracle saved me from that fate."

"I'm glad miracles work for you," Zelda sighed thinking back to Max. "I'm still waiting on one. My friend is missing."

"Really? What does your friend look like? Maybe I've seen her."

"Well, her name is Max," The dove's head snapped up. "She has brown hair, with some sun streaks in it, I think. It's half way down her back. A bit tanned, I wonder how that happened. She's always wearing a jacket or long shirts. Um, her eyes are this kind of creamy brown-"

"Say no more," Roger interrupted. "Does your friend's full name happen to be Maximum Ride?"

Zelda looked up at him sharply. "How do you know?" She couldn't imagine Max talking to an animal but then she thought...he said he had been attacked by a Hawk, a miracle happened. Max was the miracle! She had healed him. Zelda jumped up. "Where is she, Roger? Everyone's worried!"

Flapping his wings, Roger flew higher. For a minute, Zelda thought he would just leave but then he said, "We need to talk about something." He looked around. "In a more private area." They started to move but then he stopped. "You can't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you." She nodded. He started to lead the way again with Zelda right behind him.

Twenty minutes later, Zelda put up a lunch sack so Roger could grab it. "Is that too heavy?"

"I can handle it." The dove swooped down a little but was determined. He flapped his wings hard and then started to rise. Zelda watched him go.

Fang saw Zelda give the small dove the lunch pack and went over. "Don't you think that's a little heavy for him?"

Still looking at the bird, she answered, "He's alright." Then she looked at Fang. "Tell Ella, Max is alright. She just wants to be alone." Then she looked at Roger who was just fading from her sight.

Fang looked at her urgently. "Where is she? How do you know?"

"I'm not sure," Zelda said, Roger was gone now. "And I can't tell you, Fang."

"Zelda!"

She shook her head. "I can't, but she's okay. She's okay, Fang. She doesn't want to be found." Zelda turned on her heel.

"How do you know?" Fang called after her.

Zelda kept walking away. She had a secret she couldn't tell anyone. It wasn't her secret to tell.

Ah! Okay yeah, I know, it's a short chapter but Angel Gone Bad threatened me! Ha, ha just kidding! I just had this idea and couldn't let go of it so it's out sooner. Maybe I'll add another chapter after the next but I'm not sure. Let's just see where this takes us...:) Hope you liked this chapter.
