A/N:

Hey y'all! It's been only a few days since I last updated, but I have some time on my hands, so I decided to at least start typing this chapter, which, I hope will be longer than the last few chapters. The last one was shorter than I thought it would be. Anyways, I'm going to stop talking now and get on with the 55th installment to our (well, so far, not so epic adventure). I hope y'all enjoy it!

Dan's POV:

Shortly after Rachel was taken (the whole time I've been thinking about ninjas and using some ninja moves on those ugly wolf-men things and the scientists doing all of these sick things to innocent kids like us) those wolf things came back, coming in the direction of my cage. "God, I hate these guys so much", I mumbled under my breath, bracing myself for what would come next: them dragging me out of here to the location of my death.

"I heard that, S2000. You want to say it again, louder this time?"

I remain silent. They just grab me roughly out of the cage and start dragging me away. As we passed by Amy's cage, she practically yelled at the wolf thing: "DON'T HURT HIM!"

"What did you say, S1000?"

"D-D-DO-ON-'T H-H-UR-T H-HIM!"

"Do you need to be whipped like Annabeth was for your attitude, S1000? Because it can be arranged", he snarled at her.

"N-no-o p-pl-ease d-don't w-whip m-me-e!", she stuttered back.

"Fine, but don't do that again."

"O-okay."

They proceeded to drag me out of the room as I heard Amy sob, both for me and in relief that he didn't, and won't, be whipping her for what she said, considering how sorry I felt for Annabeth, Laura, Elizabeth, Bailey, and Katniss, as I pitied them for the whippings they had received for really, trivial things. If that's what we'd get for something that trivial here, then I don't want to see what we would get if we did worse things in their eyes, like escape.

They drug me through so many hallways with so many turns that I got dizzy and, because my head bounced on the floor as they drug me, and then one last time as I was strapped to the table, I heard the screams of those taken back ahead of me, but before I could say anything, I passed out just as the creeps walked out the door, heads held high. My last thought was: "I hate them so much.

Amy's POV:

I was crying after what that Ari guy said to me, about whipping me for telling them not to hurt my little brother, and of course, I was crying because I was afraid Dan would not survive.

It was only a few minutes later that they came back. I was still crying like two yer old at that time, and when he approached my cage, he unlocked it and slapped my face and said: "SHUT UP! NOW! By the way, S1000, you are coming with us."

I just cried harder from the pain as they dragged me away, no one said anything, which didn't surprise me, as they are all scared of Ari by now, even more than before.

Max's POV:

After they took Amy, they continued to come back, taking everyone except us (Wisty, Whit, Laura, Elizabeth, Artemis, Butler, Holly, Zach, Cody, London, Bailey, Katniss, and Alex) in twenty minute intervals. I won't lie: I was scared for all of them. Avian DNA is one of the hardest ones to work with. However, Angel spoke to me in my mind.

"It'll be OK Max."

"What do you mean Angel?"

They will be fine. They are strong, and they all have a secret."

"Thank you Angel. That helps. But now I want to know what their secrets are."

"Me too Max, me too."

A/N:

Alright! That chapter is in the books! Sorry for the long wait! I had this chapter partially typed, but life took over and I had to set it aside for awhile.
