Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I was putting some finishing touches on summer homework. Plus, my aunt visited my family and me for awhile. Anyway, here's the next chapter!

Disclaimer-I can't say it anymore! Someone else say it!

Max-Fine. She doesn't own me, or my flock. There, now get on with the story!

Chapter 10. Shooting Star

Fang POV

I punched the dungeon wall, shouting out in frustration. Everyone was standing up, with sad expressions on their faces. No! They can't just take her like that! How could she just give up like that! We have to do something! Angel had just told us everything that happened in her previous mind conversation with Max. Nudge started to cry, then said, "Sh-she's not g-gonna be herself a-a-anymore?" She turned to me. "F-fang, what do w-w-we do?" Everyone suddenly turned to me, but I didn't know what to do. This was all too much! I slid down the wall, holding my head in my hands. It was silent for about 3 seconds, then I mumbled, "Give me a sec." Everyone nodded, then went to the far side of the room, except Iggy. He sat down next to me. The three younger ones started to talk amongst them selves.

After a few moments of silence, Iggy said, "I don't know what we should do, but I recommend actually listening to Max and getting out of this place." I looked at Iggy in disbelief. "What! Why?", I asked. "Well, we are low on energy, we haven't eaten for 1-2 days. If we go back to Dr. M's house, then we can rebuild our energy and think of a plan to get Max out of here." I hated it, but I knew that Iggy was right. We needed more energy and a decent plan. But we had to get out of here to do that. I really didn't want to leave Max here alone, what if they hurt her badly here? But there was no other way. I sighed. "Fine. How do we get out?" Suddenly, Iggy's hand shot out and wacked me on the back of my head. I growled at him, holding my head. "What the heck was that for?", I shouted. Iggy glared at me, but I could see amusement in his eyes. "You're the temporary leader, right? Shouldn't you be the one figuring that out?" He suddenly started laughing. I glared at him. You can't kill flock members, you can't kill flock members, you can't kill flock members!, I chanted in my head. But I still punched him hard in the arm. He stumbled and fell on the ground. He glared at me, then walked toward the rest of the flock.

A few minutes later, I had a plan. "Guys! Come here, I've got a plan!", I shouted at the flock. They quickly came over to me. "What is it Fang, tell us!", Gazzy shouted. "Okay, listen up….."

Early the next morning, we all woke up. Everyone flew up to the ceiling, squeezing together. Man, it hurt like hell! I could tell everyone was hurting like me, but we all stayed quiet. Gazzy looked at me, and I nodded. Gazzy grinned. "I need you two guard IdiBots in here, now!", he shouted in the Director's voice. With our hearing, we could hear the two IdiBots talking. One said, "Wait! I thought the Director was in the Brainwashing room!" Idiot number 2 said, "There's probably some secret entrance or something, she's a bit crazy." "A bit?", Iggy murmured. I smirked, while the kids giggled. The door suddenly opened, showing the two IdiBots. As soon as they had stepped into the middle of the room, we all quickly flew down, tackling them. Seconds later, we were actually able to get their heads off, which seemed to be their weak point. We were all breathing heavily, it was hard to defeat just two IdiBots. After a few seconds, I said, "Everyone ready?" They all nodded. I nodded back, then we all spread our wings once more.

We were currently flying toward Dr. M's house. Our plan had been simple. I had assumed that most of the whitecoats and IdiBots were in the brainwashing room, trying to fully take down Max, and I was right. So it had been easy to escape. I clenched my fists, we had to hurry to rescue Max. After 45 minutes more of flying, we landed in Dr. M's backyard. The door swung open, with Ella running out toward us. "Yay! I knew you could resc-" She stopped, realizing Max wasn't with us. Her brightened face suddenly grew sad. She put her head down, then whispered, "You weren't able to get her, right?" Everyone was silent, before Iggy pulled Ella into a hug. "We were captured, but we were able to escape. They are going to fully brainwash her, so we came here to get our energy back and to think of a plan to get her out. I promise you, we'll get her back." The last part seemed more directed to me than Ella.

I was lying in my bedroom, staring out the window. We have to get Max back soon, no matter what. I can't live without her….. Suddenly, a shooting star shot through the sky. I think it's okay to wish on a star right now. I closed my eyes in concentration, then fell asleep, dreaming about a certain blonde flock leader.

Sorry it was kind of short, the next will be longer, I promise! Anyway, I'm sorry to say this guys, but the updates will get harder to do because of school, but I'll try my hardest. BUT I WON'T UPDATE UNTIL I GET 5 REVIEWS!
