Chapter Twenty One What have they done to Max? (A/N: sorry it took me so long to update, I promise more is coming soon. Although, I don't know how soon because I am going on a trip, I would much rather write, but you know, PARENTS, ah well, you can't win 'em all.) Ghost's Point Of View

I can't explain it, a week ago I would most definitely not have wanted to save Maximum Ride, but now, it's like I need to, no I want to. We all do, we have all bonded with Max and we aren't letting her go. I think we all hate the Angels right now, Ava figured out how the school got Max.

As soon as we could, we were after her; we couldn't rest until she was safe, with us. I decided that we were going to try and surprise them. We came in the same door as before, and guess what, Max was in the same room as Omega, I guess there aren't any vacancies in hotel hellhole. Quite frankly, it creeped me out how easy it was to get in and out, with Max.

"She's in shock," said Ava. We had all made it to the edge of Death Valley and we were making sure that we wouldn't leave Max behind. Ava managed to lift some basic doctoring tools and she was checking Max out, god what we do without that girl.

While Ava checked Max out, I spent some good quality bonding time with the demons, which basically means we all sit in a tight circle and just talk, it's one of my favorite things to do with them.

"Hey! She's waking up!" Ava motioned us all over, and we all crowded around Max. She curled into a ball and started whimpering. J

"Is that supposed to happen?" Sam asked Ava.

"No, she doesn't have any physical injuries, so it's something in her head." Ava and I exchanged a worried look, all of us knew what could happen if someone messes with your mind. I looked at Omega to see what his reaction was. He looked thoughtful.

"I think…they were… well maybe," I glared at Omega but he didn't notice.

"Will you please tell us what's going on in that overly large cranium of yours?" Typical Dev, no tact.

"Well, I heard some of the scientists talking and thinking about some sort of pain endurance test. Thankfully you guys rescued me before they could test it on me, but I don't think Max was so lucky." We all stared at him in shock. I looked at Max's whimpering form. What had they done to Max?
