Hey thank you all who reviewed. I still don't exactly know where I'm going with the next few chapters, so if you have any suggestions please tell me. Here's another chapter.

Max POV

I was flying away from the flock. I was flying away from love and flying to my destiny. Worst of all I was flying away from Fang.

We had gotten Cammie to that doctor person with no trouble. He was very willing to help. We spent three days there, waiting for Cammie to get better. When she woke up we spent another three days waiting for her to be ready to fly. She finally did and we decided to leave the next day. That was yesterday. It was probably about eight a.m., and I was miles away from the flock.

All the time I was at the cabin I thought about something that doctor Rogan had said. Before I was captured Dr. Rogan said that my flock was going to die if I didn't complete my destiny. She gave me the opportunity to come with her and leave the flock but I didn't take it. Now I was flying to her in New York. I left the flock behind to keep them safe.

I was already in New York; I had flown with super speed for a long time, and was headed to the institute. I had left a note with the flock explaining everything. I had told them to go back to the river in Kansas and that I would be there once I figured this out. Hopefully that wouldn't take very long.

An hour later I found myself at the institute. A bunch of erasers were there with tazer guns. Dr. Rogan stood with her arms at her sides totally relaxed. Black was no where to be seen, crap. I was looking forward to meeting her and making her into mince meat.

"Hello Max, I had a feeling you would come."

"Shut up with the nice talk, Dr. Rogan and get to the point, I don't have all day."

This seemed to make her mad, cool.

"Okay have it your way. First my name is Eliza Rogan none of this doctor stuff. Second if your flock comes they will be destroyed. Third, do as we say and we won't kill your flock and fourth you will be trained here to take out an important person to save the world. You will be trained here to kill and to be a weapon. Once you complete your destiny you will be set free."

Eliza gave me a wicked smile and snapped her fingers. Erasers swarmed around me and one was about to shock me when an alarm went off. It was loud and there was a blinking red light going off underneath a sign that said FIRE. The sprinklers went off and everyone ran for cover. A strong hand grabbed my arm and started dragging me to the door. I struggled a little but once we were in the sewer again the hand let go.

A stood staring into the eyes of a girl about my age, at least she looked my age.

"I work for Jeb so don't be afraid of me. You need to get out of here and destroy Itex. Eliza Rogan was lying about everything. Get back to your flock. The secret headquarters is not in Paris, it's somewhere in the U.S. Paris is just another lab. Find the head lab and you will have destroyed Itex, at least for a while."

I looked at the girl. "Why are you telling me this if I was created to destroy someone?"

"Because you were created to save the world, from Itex. All the human-avian hybrids were, Jeb just made up the other story to keep you all from being killed."

"Who are you?"

"Run and don't look back. Get to your flock and save the world."

She pushed me further into the sewer; I ran and didn't look back. I got out on the street and cringed. There were erasers all around the building. They weren't morphed but they spotted me and the chase began.

I ran down the street and turned as many corners as I could. Each time I did, I lost one or two of the erasers, but there was always four or five chasing me. Normally I would turn and face them but me flock wasn't here and I had no chance against five super charged, adrenalin high, most likely drunk erasers. If only there was a place to take off then I could loose them with my super speed, but in New York that was going to be a problem.

Then I spotted it. A big bunch of trees in central park. I ran to the far corner and scurried up a large tree. I unfurled my wings and was about to take off when a hand grabbed my ankle and wouldn't let go. I looked down to see an eraser holding me while the other ones climbed up the tree.

Shoot, I forgot that they weren't morphed, man of all the stupid mistakes.

"You won't get away from us this time."

"Oh yeah, just watch me."

With my free leg I kicked the eraser in the face and he let my ankle go. The second I was free, I took off and poured on the speed. Within minutes I was miles away from the Institute and hurrying back to my flock.

Fang POV

I woke up to Total licking my face. It was still dark outside and when I looked at the digital clock it said, 5 a.m. Why was Total licking me at five in the morning?

"Total what do you want?"

"Something happened Fang. Max is gone."

I snapped my eyes wide open and stumbled into the living room of the cabin where Max had fallen asleep. She wasn't there. I turned around frantically when a white piece of paper caught my attention. I picked it up and my heart lurched. On the paper was a note in Max's sloppy handwriting. It read…

Flock,

I am leaving for a little while. Before I was captured after the tornado, Dr. Rogan gave me a choice. She said that if I didn't come to the institute within a week she was going to have you all killed. I couldn't take that chance. I'm sorry. By now I am far away heading to the institute. I will be back! I'm only going to see what she wants, smash some eraser butt and maybe make Black eat her words and her sorry ego. Go back to the river in Kansas where we spent that one worry free night and day. I will hopefully be back, so if I'm not there with in two weeks, Fang take over. Willow, Cammie, Blade, Eel, and Raven help Fang. Go hide and don't look for me. If worse comes to worse I'm going to finish this myself. Again don't look for me. Stay hidden and if I'm not back, go back to living normal lives and Fang I love you and nothing will ever change that. I love you all, and I will miss you terribly.

Love Max.

"Fang?"

A tear rolled down my cheek. Max left. She left because she thought Itex would kill us. She left and now I may never see her again.

"Fang what's wrong."

I turned around to see Charm. She had an emotionless mask on, guess where she learned that from, and was looking around. When she saw me crying, the look on her face made me want to cry even more.

"Charm, please go and get Nudge for me."

She walked down the hallway and came back a minute later with a half asleep Nudge. I put the letter in her hands and waited. Nudges face twisted in shock and then she started to cry. I knew I shouldn't have done this to her but I needed to know if Max did this voluntarily or if she was forced to. By Nudges expression she did it voluntarily.

"Fang she's gone. She's really gone."

Nudges knees buckled and I caught her before she hit the floor. She started crying into my night shirt. Nudge and all the other younger kids tried to act strong but when something like this happened…

"Who's gone, Fang?"

I looked into the worried eyes of Charm. One word escaped my mouth.

"Max."

Charm's eyes went wide and she ran down the hall. Seconds, and I do mean seconds, later the whole flock was gathered around me, reading the letter. About an hour later, once most of us had gotten ourselves back together, I decided it was time to take charge.

"Max said to go back to the river and not to look for her. So, Cammie, Willow and Raven take all the younger kids to the river by the waterfall. Be prepared to stay there for a while. Eel, Iggy and Blade come with me, we're going after Max."

Eel, Iggy and Blade nodded but the other kids were shaking their heads and staring at me with what could only be described as shock, determination, sadness and anger all mixed into one.

"No way. If you think we're going to stay back you have another thing coming."

I looked at Raven. She had a HUGE stubborn streak. All the other flock members were shaking their heads.

"But it's too dangerous, we'll be spotted easily and if anything happens to you guys Max will kill me."

"So."

You can't argue with a seven year old who has been through a lot and who could control your mind. If I didn't let them come they would kill me anyway. So it was either Max killing me or the flock killing me. I'd rather take my chances with the flock killing me but they gave me no choice.

"Fine. Max said she would be back so we'll either intercept her on her way back or get her out of the institute and kick some butt. Got it?"

"Got it." Everyone said at the same time, it was kinda funny.

Three hours later we were flying high above Kansas. If Max had used her super speed, we would never catch her. Crap. So the only thing we could hope for was that she was on her way back. We flew for the rest of the day with minimal breaks and then for two more days with very, very few breaks only when necessary. I know I was pushing the flock hard but we had to find Max, and they seemed okay with our pace.

On the fourth day we were flying above the heart of Illinois. There were trees, trees more trees and farmland. No people, no big cities, and so far no erasers, which meant that we were going to find some soon, yea. Not.

"Hey Fang can we stop I'm hungry."

I looked at my watch, 3 p.m. Three hours of non-stop flight since we stopped at the small mall that had like a hundred food places. Nudge was the perfect person to tell you when it was time to eat.

"Okay but only snacks, we're running out of food." I looked down to see a small cluster of trees with wild grass growing all around it. "Land there, it looks better than nothing."

I pointed at the cluster of trees and circled. When we were all settled in and eating, it was then I noticed the heat. Man was it hot. Up in the clouds where the wind is constantly whipping at your face it's not so bad. Down on the ground though, during the summer with no wind. Oh my gosh. One bad thing about wearing all black. To all you on the ground I don't know how you put up with this heat, all I can say is more power to you.

I looked around to see the flock sweat drenched and drinking water like it was the last ever. We had to get back in the air.

"Okay guys, U and A."

We packed up quickly and I was about to take off when Sky screamed. She picked up a large stick and chucked into the bushes right in front of me. I whirled around.

"Sky what are you trying to do, kill me. That stick…"

A stopped when an eraser fell limp at my feet. He had a stick protruding from his chest.

"A bunch of erasers are coming. Their all up in the trees, if we fly they'll nab us."

I nodded at Sky. Her ability really came in handy.

"All right let's get out of these trees then take off. Run."

We all started to run. I heard twigs snap and growling coming from behind us. Erasers oh great.

"Fang, the erasers weren't actually after us to begin with they were waiting here for someone else."

"Who Angel."

We came to the edge of the woods and stopped. I grabbed Red and Gazzy with my free hands to keep them from taking off. In front of us were a lot of erasers to put it mildly. About half were on the ground and half were in the sky, we even had a few behind us. The erasers didn't seem to have any weapons but they had wicked, evil smiles on their faces.

The erasers hadn't seen us which was good; instead they were looking at the sky. I stepped out and looked to see what was soooooooooooooo interesting. What I saw made me wish I hadn't stepped out. Up in the sky was about five erasers, four were circling and laughing while the other one was holding…

"Max!"
