I woke up on something really soft and when I opened my eyes I realized I was in my own bed. I sat up and tried to get out of bed . I started falling forward as soon as I got out of bed. I was saved from plummeting face first onto the ground by two arms wrapping around me and putting me back on my bed safely. It was Ella.

I saw her mouth move, but no noise came out. I tilted my head to the side, looking at her with question written all over my face. I saw her try to talk again, but still I heard nothing.

She ran out of my room and when she came back my mom was in tow. I smiled at her and she smiled her 'I hope she is feeling OK' smile. She started talking, but I still didn't hear anything.

I decided I was going to try to talk, "I can't hear anything you say, but I can hear the noises you make."

My mom and sister smiled. My mom got out her cell-phone and called someone. When she typed in the numbers, I could hear the clicks. Something really weird was going on. I thought about what had happened in the past few months, and other than moving twice, I couldn't think of anything important that could have happened. I was getting really tired, so I slowly started to close my eyes and drift off to sleep. Unfortunately Ella came over and tapped my arm lightly. I opened my eyes slightly and Ella looked straight back at me and shook her head.

I guess she didn't want me to fall asleep. I looked around my room while trying to keep my droopy eyes from closing and falling asleep. I realized my mom wasn't in the room anymore.

When my mom finally came back into my dark room there was a doctor with her, but it looked like she was arguing with the doctor. The doctor finally came over to me and made me sit up. The doctor got out a weird looking object, that he then looked into my ear with. I told him how I could hear noises but not voices. When I told him that he looked confused, but he out his stuff away, talked to my mom and walked out the door, I heard the front door slam loudly, but it was so loud that it hurt my ears.

"Hey, can I go to sleep now?" I ask hopefully.

I watched as my mom walked out of my room and came back seconds later with a notebook and pencil. She wrote;

"Go ahead, but I hope you hearing gets better and nothing else weird happens. I love you! Now sleep well, see you in the morning!"

I looked up at my mom and smiled my little half-smile. I was really tired, but I had a really bad feeling something weird and bad was going to happen. I knew I shouldn't fall asleep, but I just had, because I could barely keep my own eyes open. So I finally just let the darkness take me over.

"Dead..." I said sadly. I couldn't read Max's mind and that would mean that she was dead, I could read Ella's fine. I couldn't believe this, Max was... Max, how could she be dead.

"What!" everyone yelled.

"She can't be dead, she is the strong, fascinating, tough, stubborn, beautiful Max, she is incredible, she can't be dead. The only way she could be dead was if she committed suicide or something, or sacrificed her life for us, because she would never give up that easy and just let someone kill her. Why would someone kill Max? I just hate erasers, don't you? I hope that wasn't what killed Max, that would be horrible, to be made and then killed by the same people who made you." Nudge ranted on, getting louder as she went.

"Shut it!" everyone yelled.

"Sorry"

"I do agree though, why would someone kill the most successful experiment of the 'school', unless she did it to get payback to the doctors. " I agreed.

I had a feeling Max was alive and well, except something bad was going to happen soon. I couldn't and wouldn't believe that she was dead. But I was really hungry.

"Hey, anyone else hungry, I'm starved" I questioned.

"Yeah, I am" I heard from everyone.

"Let's go eat then." Iggy said happily.

We all ran downstairs and started rummaging through the kitchen cupboards to find something to eat. I finally found chicken noodle soup, so I warmed it up and started eating. It was delicious.

"Hey, couldn't you ask Ella or Dr. M about Max?" Fang questioned me.

"Actually, Good idea, I could thank you I will try that."

I walked back up to my pink colorful and sat down on my bed and tried to concentrate. Ella's brain was just as blank as Max's it was like she had nothing on her mind, literally, but that is impossible. We decided to stay over at my house after asking my parents.

Fang and Nudge went over to their house to pack for the sleepover. They came back in about 15 minutes. We decided to go for a swim to try to our mind's off of Max. I went into my room while everyone else went to someone else's room or bathroom to get their swimsuits on. When I got back outside, I realized that it was sunny, so I went back up into my room and put my sunscreen on. When I appeared outside again, nobody else was out there. So I put my towel on a chair and jumped in, I splashed water everywhere.

After about 30 minutes of swimming alone, Fang finally came out in a t-shirt and swim trunks, which were of course, black. "Sorry we have been in the house so long, Nudge couldn't find her swimsuit and made us help look for it."

"That's fine, I have had fun." I told him.

I woke up to the sound of whispering. I opened my eyes and was very surprised by what I saw. Everything was enhanced. Even though I already had enhanced senses, I guess they got better because I could see every little stitch of clothing, every thread. I could still hear whispering, but I didn't know where it came from. It sounded like Ella and mom. I walked downstairs to find my mom and sister talking quietly.

"Hey! I could hear you whispering upstairs, it was like you were up there with me." I told them.

"That's good that you have your hearing back. I wonder why it disappeared, then came came so quickly, I bet..." my mom was asking herself out loud. "Didn't Jeb shoot a needle into you when you were trying to catch him in the basement?"

"Actually, I think he did, maybe it wasn't just to knock me out, maybe he came here just to do that and see what would happen. Maybe they are still experimenting even though I thought everyone was either dead or gone, so maybe they were able to build the "school" again." I thought out loud. "WOW! Nudge moment." " I need to find Jeb." I told my mom after thinking for a while. "We need to move back, so I can find him easier."

"I'm sorry, but I won't let you, I don't want you getting hurt or experimented on again, remember he was the one who gave you your wings and painful brain attacks that you get sometimes." my mom told me sadly. "Changing the subject, do you want to go to school tomorrow?"

"Yes, but I have homework to do so I am going to up my room."

I walked back up into my room as my mom was trying to talk to me, but I just ignored her. Slowly walking up the stairs I was trying to figure out how I would find Jeb. When I got up into my room, I closed and locked my door then went to sit in front of my running computer.

I started searching for Jeb Martinez, then Batchelor but I don't know why I did that because that wasn't his name. So I decided to search for "the school" even though I knew nothing good was going to come up. So finally I decided to try "Avian Bird DNA/Mutant Freaks" What I saw was breathtaking and sad.

Nudge couldn't find her swimsuit, so she made us look for it.

"But since she can't find her swimsuit, she has an excuse to go shopping with us" I said with a frown.

I jumped into the pool with Angel and started doing laps after we had had our splash war. I couldn't stop thinking about Max, I was really hoping that she was OK. I wasn't sure how I felt about her.

When I had done 13 laps I really needed to take a jog. I got out of the pool and pulled my jet-black t-shirt over my head. I jogged out of my backyard and onto the sidewalk that took me to the town. I jogged for 20 minutes before I finally got into town. I saw my favorite ice cream shop as soon as I walked onto the crowded sidewalk. I decided I had earned a good and yummy double chocolate chip cone. I was really craving chocolate, but it was also my favorite type of ice cream of all times.

After I had paid and got my delicious ice cream I walked out the door and bumped into a REALLY pretty red-haired girl. I watched in slow motion as my ice-cream flipped out of my hand and slowly started to fall toward her bright white t-shirt. I couldn't move my body to catch the ice-cream or make the girl move.

"I'm SO sorry" I whispered while helping her back onto her feet from where she had fallen. I was really starting to recognize this girl.

"Oh, Hey Fang!" the red-headed wonder said.

Oh, I remember, it was Lissa, my ex-girlfriend.
