AN: I would just like to say that this chapter is dedicated to maxridelover123 for the idea of this chapter. Big thanks to all the other fans too! Like, Blackhawk1997 who gave me an idea for a later chapter. Thanks guys! YOU ROCK!

Chapter 21

Max POV

Of course, as soon as I thought that, a searing pain shot through my head.

I tried to think of something else, something good, like cookies! But, the pain was unbearable.

My vision was starting to get fuzzy…I had to get Fang's attention.

"…Fang…" I said before I blacked out.

Hopefully, he heard me.

Fang POV

I'm always happiest when flying…well besides being with Max. It was just so amazing.

Just as I was thinking all these lovely thoughts about flying…I swore I heard Max call my name faintly, even with my super-bird hearing, it was hard to make out.

I turned around, just in time, to see my Max, falling out of the sky.

"IGGY!" I yelled, before I bomb-dived after her.

C'mon…faster…faster…faster.

You got her Fang, you got her, I said over and over in my head as I raced towards her falling body.

"MAX!" I called, no answer. I went faster. And faster. And faster.

I caught her.

Thank God.

I held her, close to my chest.

I landed next to the lake she would've fell into if I hadn't caught her.

I checked her pulse, perfectly normal.

By now, the flock was down, forming a circle around me and Max. I saw Max's face twist in pain. I get it.

Brain explosion.

Damn Voice.

She woke up after about two minutes, cradling her head in her hands, I brought her onto my lap and held her close to me, whispering comforting words in her ear, hoping it would make her feel at all better.

I'm just happy that my Maximum Ride, was perfectly fine.

Well, as perfect as you get when you have wings, were tortured through your entire childhood, and have a stupid voice in you head.

Yeah…

Max POV

I woke up in intense pain, not as bad as when we were in the air, like I can still stay conscious, but still bad.

Isn't my life just perfect?

Don't answer that.

Maximum.

Well, right on cue Voice. Long time no hear. Well, great.

Maximum, listen to me.

Listening, get it over with, 'Go save the world! Now!' I've hear it all before.

Just be quiet and listen to me for once, I'm going to tell you were to go. So be quiet until I'm finished. I think I'm just going to let the Voice talk for once…

Max, I'm sorry about the pain, but you must go back to Virginia, same place you were in when you were 14. You'll see someone you've met before, and will have to save yourselves from this person. I can't tell you anymore, good luck.

Well, way to go all fortune cookie on me Voice.

No response. Well then…

Fang's hand waved in front of my face. "Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine…" I said, thinking, who will we meet? Lissa again? Anne? Sam? Who?

"Voice again?" He asked me.

"Uh yeah, we need to go to Virginia, like now." I said getting up with Fang's help.

I got a running start and threw myself into the air.

"To Virginia!" I yelled to my flock.

~ Many Boring Hours later ~

"Guys, there's Anne's house, let's land!" I said to my flock behind me.

I figured since the Voice said we will meet someone we met before; just go to Anne's house first.

We all landed, and were thinking of a way to get inside.

"Let's go through the window."

"No! Make a hole in the roof with a lazer!"

"Where in the world will we find a lazer to cut a hole in the roof?"

While they were arguing about that, I grabbed Fang's arm and nodded towards the front door.

The flock didn't even notice we left, thanks guys.

Want to know the amazingly cool way we got in the house?

Well do you?

Well I'll tell you anyway.

We walked through the front door.

Intense, I know.

Anyway, we walked in and saw the whole house abandoned. Dust was covering everything and everywhere we looked.

I picked up an old book I read there and coughed from the dust.

"Well, Anne's not here, unless she's living with one of the dust bunnies here." I said to Fang.

He just nodded, as usual.

We walked back out of the house after checking all the rooms for any sign of life. None, nada, zip.

We met up with the flock, and they were still fighting about a cool way to get in the house.

"Guys, Anne's not in there." I said.

"Wait, how'd you get in?" Iggy asked me curious.

"We walked through the front door…"

"Oh…"

"Well, yeah, anyways, where should we look next?"

"Well, since like, we don't know where anybody lives, just like walk around main street or something; see if we see anybody we've seen before." Gazzy suggested.

I thought that last part was a bit confusing.

That's just what we did; we walked up and down Main Street, looking at everyone, see if we remember them.

Well, guess who the first person we saw was.

Sam.

Yeah, that Sam that I dated and that Fang probably despises.

"Wait, Max, is that you?" Sam said walking up to me.

"Uh yeah, hi Sam." I said as Fang glared at him.

"Well why don't we talk somewhere quieter, Main Street is so busy and just…ugh."

The whole flock shrugged as we followed Sam towards this wooded area where it was completely quiet and serene.

"So Max, how've you been?" He asked with smiling, ew, when did he get so ugly? His teeth were a sickly yellow color.

"Um good." I answered. Fang just continued to glare at him.

I elbowed him and gave him to a look that said I-know-you-hate-him-just-be-nice.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Hi Sam, Fang," And held out his hand for Sam to shake. Good Fang.

Sam smiled, which I found kind of creepy, and stuck his hand in his pocket as he reached out to shake Fang's hand.

Fang tried to pull his hand back but Sam didn't let go.

"Um, can I have my hand back…?" Fang said just as confused as I was.

Sam smiled again, and if it's possible, his teeth were even yellower.

"No." Was his only response before he took a syringe out of his pocket and stabbed Fang in the arm with it.

"Ow! What the hell…was…that…" Fang said before he collapsed to the ground.

"Fang!" I screamed running towards him.

I looked back up at Sam and saw why his teeth were so yellow.

He was an eraser. He was fully morphed right now and I saw he had more syringes in his pockets.

"Get them." Was all he said, when over 100 erasers popped out of no where.

So, we have an unconscious Fang, injected with God knows what, 100 erasers, and an ex-boyfriend that just attempted to kill your husband.

That was all I thought until I was blindfolded and thrown into what seemed like a van.

I wasn't worried about me at all, and I knew the flock was fine, I heard all of them get thrown in too.

What worried me was Fang, who the hell knows what he was injected with.

We'll find out soon enough.

Hopefully…

AN: Thanks for reading! Please review and if you have any ideas for this story, I may consider them, I'm planning on making this story fairly long, so yeah, I'll probably be able to add it at one point or another.

Again, thanks for reading!

And give a big round of applause for maxidelover123 for the idea with going back to Virginia to see Sam.

Review! :D
