Hi peeps. So.......... I have my English, Math, and Civics SOLs next week so I'll be cramming for them, I might not be able to update this week or the next, just warning ya.

DISCLAIMER: I no own.

Oh, and I thank maispecialk for giving me some ideas. This is an awesome chapter, well, at least that's what I think...

Chapter 25: Get Out Alive.

Rose POV: The Next Day…

Melinda had told us about the Whitecoats plans to kill half the people in the world. This was bad; no, this was very very very very very bad.

I also had a feeling something bad was going to happen to one of us. But I just looked over that thought and focused on what was going on right now.

"Okay, so what's the plan?" I asked intently.

"They're going to try the anthrax on the experiments here; which includes us. I do not think there is anything we can do but wait." Melinda said sadly while shaking her head.

Nudge looked up at me, scared, "They has to be something we can do! I can't just die like some nobody! How—" I cut her off.

"Nudge, they, the Whitecoats, see you along with the rest of us as nobodies. When Mel says there's nothing for us to do; there is nothing for us to do." I said softly, trying not to make her cry. Which happened about an hour ago…. God, I'm not good with kids.

"I don't know what to do." We all turned to Max in shock.

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Max?" Total asked backing into a corner of the cell.

"I just don't know what to do anymore. This isn't something we can beat. We are going to die, aren't we?" Max said sighing softly.

Where has the real Max gone?

Max POV

I can't believe I just said that. I didn't even say it, what I 'said' was what I thought. Maybe it's a new power. Like, projecting my thoughts as words? Or I just wasn't paying attention and said my thoughts out loud.

Anything is possible, Maximum. There is something bad that will happen if you do not stop this. Ah, so now the Voice decides to stop by.

Oh, shut the hell up. I don't give a damn about your mojo crap. I thought back. Wait, I just broke one of my own rules.

"Max? You okay?" Fang asked showing no emotion, again.

I nodded slowly, "Yeah, just thinking. And talking to our old buddy, Voice." I said smugly.

Fang nodded and leaned back against the wall.

Hm, he's more silent than before…. "Fang, are you okay?" I asked softly. I know, the Maximum Ride asking something softly.

Fang looked back at me with something in his eyes that I hadn't seen before, "Yeah, just thinking." He answered. Why did I have the feeling that he wanted to add 'about you' after thinking…?

Rose POV: Five Minutes Later.

Ugh, we were being dragged out of the cell again. But this time everyone was being dragged out, not just us girls.

"Come on freaks, MOVE!" An Eraser barked at us.

"Whom are you talking to? You're more of a freak than us." I said rolling my eyes, which only got my Eraser to drag his claws across my cheek.

I growled and kicked my leg out behind me, which resulted in the Eraser that was pushing me to drop to the floor.

One of the Erasers that wasn't holding one of us came up and slapped me on the cheek that had the cuts on it. "Come on, now." He growled and pushed me forward.

I hissed under my breath but allowed myself to be pushed.

It was another few minutes before we arrived at medal double door. We all stepped inside, and by we, I meant the Erasers also.

Then the door closed behind us and all of us could hear the locks being done up.

"What's going on?" One Eraser asked franticly.

"You are all subjects of our genetically enhanced anthrax." Said the Director's voice from overhead.

I then noticed that there were other experiments in the arena thing we were in.

This was bad.

I heard the creaking of the vents of the large arena opening, when my head snapped up, I gasped. There was a fine white mist falling down over us. By us I mean, the Flock, the rest of the Erasers, and a few other experiments.

This was it; this was the end of my life. Wait just a minute. I felt as the anthrax mist settled on my skin but there wasn't any effect. Casting my gaze away from the vents, I looked around. The only people standing were the Flock.

Wait, only the Flock... My eyes darted around and found who I was looking for.

Aaron was on the ground of the arena, gasping for air like some type of fish out of water. All the Erasers were already dead or close to dead. And like I said before, the only people standing were the Flock, the avian hybrids.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I ran over to Aaron and knelt next to him, also holding him up so that he could breath a little better. But it wasn't doing much good.

"Please! Don't die. You can't do this, not now, not yet! Please stay with me Aaron..." I begged, but I could see the distant look in his glassy eyes.

Melinda POV

Crap, it was happening and we could do nothing about it...

HA! I left you with a cliff hanger.

Rose: Review if you want more!

Me: Yes, you have to review. Review help me think better.
