Prisoner- Chapter 45

The erasers took us into a room with white walls and tile floor. This room had a sliding door like the one I had just been in fighting the other Max.

They left us in the room together, which was definitely a surprise. They always separated us before, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I turned to look at my flock that was still looking at me with questioning eyes and my heart swelled with pride. They were making sure the right Max won, me.

"It's me." I said looking them over.

"Angel?" Fang was asking for Angel's confirmation.

'It's me, sweetie. Are you okay?' I thought to her.

"I'm okay." She said answering me first then Fang. "It's her, this is Max."

"Do I need to prove it?" I asked crossing my arms.

"How would you prove that it's really you, Max?" Nudge asked.

"Um… let's see." I said taking a deep breath and thinking. "I was sick then Sam turned me over to Ari and I got pretty beat up."

"Pretty beat up?" Fang asked raising a dark eyebrow. "You must be Max, because only you are too stubborn to admit that you were near death after Ari and his erasers were through with you."

I glared at him before responding, "I had a lot of injuries, all that are fully healed except for one."

I lifted my shirt and revealed the bruise on the left side of my stomach that was a yellowish green color showing that it was healing.

"There's your proof." I said proud of myself.

"Max, I knew it was you." Angel said throwing her arms around me. "I missed you, so much."

"I missed you too." I said kneeling down and taking her into my arms. I placed a kiss on the top of her head before standing up and taking Gazzy into a hug.

"Did you take care of your sister while I was gone?" I asked with a small smile.

He nodded and I ruffled his blond hair.

Next I walked over to Nudge and took her in a hug, rubbing her back, between her wings the way she liked. It always made her relax.

Iggy placed a slender pale hand on my back and I turned around and took him in a hug.

"It's good to have you back, Max." He said letting me go.

"It's good to be back." I said turning to look at Fang.

I knew Fang wasn't much of a hugger, except for when I cried, but I'd do my best to hug him anyway.

"Thank you." I said wrapping my arms around him.

"For what?" He asked looking down at me.

"Leading them in my absence." I said with a small laugh fighting the tears.

"Just don't make me do it again." He said with a smirk.

That's when I noticed that Fang was hugging me back. I blushed and let go of him turning to look at the flock.

"Let's find a way out of here." I said nodding my head and looking around the room.

"How?" Nudge asked sitting down. "There's no way out."

"There is always a way out." I said looking down at her. "We just have to find it."

I walked along the perimeter of the room, scanning the walls. When I came to the glass door, I looked it up and down for a few minutes then finally placed a kick to it.

"What was that?" Iggy asked obviously surprised.

"Max just kicked the door." Gasman explained.

"Is it breaking?" He asked looking hopeful.

"No." Gazzy said shaking his head.

"We'll see about that." I said placing another kick on the door, then another and another.

Nothing, but I kept kicking.
