I looked at them and couldn't move. There was so many of them! And what were they?

"Maximum Ride, time to die. Once and for all." One of them droned. They they go with the Maximum Ride thing again. Who was that person? Someone clearly needed to fill me in with what the heck was going on.

You're Maximum Ride. The little voice told me. I got wide-eyed. So this is why this was all happening to me!

What do they want from me? I asked.

Everything.

They suddenly swarmed at me and I didn't know what to do. I covered my head trying to keep safe. That's all I really could do.

"MAX WHAT THE HELL?!" A boy's voice shouted. I looked up at him. He looked like Anthony I had met earlier, but he might have been a little taller, and he had blue eyes, not green. "FIGHT!"

I didn't move, I didn't think. I just sat there shocked. He knew me? Did everyone know my name? Suddenly all of the creatures flew off faster then they came, like something was more important somewhere else.

He leaned down in front of me and I just looked at him. "Why didn't you fight Max? Are you hurt?" He asked me. I just looked at him again, wondering who he was. "Are you okay?" He asked again. I just nodded.

I took the picture out of my pocket and looked at it. Then I looked at the boys sitting in front of me. I looked back an forth between the him and the picture. He was the same person. So he wasn't trapped inside the picture, it was just an image of him.

He looked at the picture. "You brought a picture of me? Well, not what I expected. I thought you would have a picture of Fang and not me." Fang. Why did that name sound so familiar. I took out the picture of the dark haired boy again. Was that Fang?

I showed the picture to the boy in front of me and he frowned at it. "You do have a picture of him. That's what I thought." I looked at the picture again. Fang. He had such pretty eyes. I traced my hand over Fang's face.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me. I looked around and took my necklace off. I put it in his hands to show him. He looked at me. "You came here for this?" He asked, holding it up. I nodded.

He handed it back to me. "Why aren't you talking?" He asked. I shook my head. I couldn't talk. "Did you loose your voice?" He asked me. I shrugged. "How do you not know? I thought Maximum Ride knew everything." I shook my head again. I didn't know a thing. Only my name, how to walk, how to run, and that I had a little voice in my head that wasn't mine.

"Come on, let's go to Dr. Martinez's house, give me your cell phone." He told me. I just cocked my head to the side. He sighed, "You don't have your phone do you?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Fine, we can use the payphone at the nearest town." He said sighing.

He shot out his wings and jumped up. "C'mon Max!" He called. "Let's go!" I looked up at him. How did he do that so easily? Was he like, magic or something? I just stood there, staring at him in awe.

Then he seemed to look like he understood everything. He landed and walked over to me, keeping his wings out.

"What's my name?" He asked me. I shrugged.

"Oh...this isn't good." He muttered.

"Can you fly?" He asked next. I shook my head

He sighed. "Do you trust me?" He asked. I wearily nodded. "Then will you let me carry you?" He asked reaching out his hand. I hesitated for a minute, and then took his had.

He lifted me up and jumped into the air. I was flying!

(THIS EXPLAINS WHY IGGY CAN SEE!!)

He landed for a minute, just for a short minute. He thought he saw something.

Iggy. Something thought to him. He winced as he felt a head ache creep over him.

I'm going to temporarily give you your sight back if you do something for me. The thought said to him.

His sight? He would be able to see again? For how long?

What do I need to do? He asked after a while.

Find Max and help her with what ever she needs to return to normal. It thought to him. He nodded. Anything for his sight.

Suddenly, the darkness he had been stuck in disappeared. Light slowly let itself through his eyes and colors flowed everywhere. He could see again.

Now go. It thought to him. He jumped up in the air and started to fly west.
