Author's Note: Hi guys! Thank you so much for all of your reviews. For some reason a lot of them didn't show up in the review section on the website but I did receive all of them in my email. I also spent twenty minutes triple checking everything so that I got the right reviewer. I want to add thanks to everyone who has followed, favorited and reviewed my story. I truly thought nobody would ever read this or even look twice at it when I first started it. I'll announce the winner at the end of the chapter. And remember if you didn't win, I'll do another prize for the 100th reviewer then the 150th reviewer and so on.

Previously: Fang's widened and I swear I could have seen his entire face soften as his eyes landed on me. I looked back. "I hate to tell you, but you guys are little late," Max laughed but it was obvious it was forced. But for the sake of the situation, we all smiled and laughed quietly.

Fang's mouth quirked to the side with a crooked smile. "Max!" Angel rushed to Max, embracing her tightly enough to have the air forced out of Max's lungs. I grinned at the sight of it. Gazzy and Iggy also joined her.

Angel and Gazzy then rushed to me, embracing me just as tightly. "Skylar!" Nudge cried. I wasn't expecting it when she slammed into me with a strong hug. I wasn't quite sure what to do. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around her as well. "I thought we might not see Max, you and Ash again. I was so scared."

At the mention of Ash, I could feel my body tense. Nudge pulled back, everyone was looking at us. "What is it?" A bit of realization dawned on her face. "Wait, where's Ash?" Max, thankfully, answered for me, "She's… She's dead."

Nudge gasped but Angel's eyes widened and she looked at me. "You have her fire!" She exclaimed. Of course, the fact that she could read minds had completely slipped my brain. Fang spun around sharply to face me from where he had turned to look back towards the School. "What?"

"Jeb killed her. When Ash died, she made Skylar take her hand. When she did, she transferred her fire into Skylar," Max continued, glancing at me. She seemed to know that I didn't want to talk about. "Explain more," Fang instructed, flying closer to me.

Max looked to me, as if to ask if it were okay if she continued speaking. I nodded to her. "My guess is Ash's heat allowed her fire to transfer through the skin into Skylar. But it wasn't a good experience for either one of them apparently. It didn't seem to hurt Ash that much though, probably because it was her fire, but Skylar had been screaming in pain." I wanted to cringe at her last sentence and the way it made me sound unbearably weak.

Currently, I could feel the fire pulsing in my veins, but for now at least, it was tame. Before I knew it, Fang had gathered my to him. I was wrapped in his arms and it felt so safe compared to the recent events. I hugged him back.

I was sure if everyone else hadn't known about us already, they would now. Although I couldn't really bring myself to care. He pulled away far too soon for my liking but he kept his hands planted on my shoulders and stayed right behind me. Nudge was smirking as Angel begrudgingly handed her a five dollar bill. All seriousness forgotten, Max burst out laughing. "You bet on them?!"

Angel simply looked toward the ground with a scowl. Nudge's grin just widened, "Yep! And I won." I couldn't help myself, I started giggling. I laughed until my sides hurt. Even Fang cracked a smile.

Iggy was chuckling softly but bore the news we all needed to hear, "We all better get going, we're only less than a mile away from the School." We all nodded in agreement. Max began to lead us to a destination I had no idea where.

It felt nice to fly again with the Flock. It gave me a feeling of home, even if I wasn't sure if we had a physical one. After a few hours of flying, I felt my hands start to fill with heat. Before I knew it, I had to dart down towards the floor of the forest we were flying over. My hands continued to burn and I could feel it's energy running through me. Luckily, we had been above a lake.

I finally released the pent up flames and held my palms out in front of me. Almost instantaneously I felt heat flow through my body towards my hands. In front of me, my fire collided with the water's surface before it could spread.

I was panting when it felt like I had no more fire left in me. It may have felt like it, but I could always feel more flames prowling beneath my skin within moments. It would never truly be gone, I realized.

I could hear Fang drop to the ground behind me. I turned to face him. "Are you okay?" He asked. I was scared by the new found ability, but also confused. Instead of confessing these things, I simply said, "I'm fine. I'm trying to get used to the fire." He looked like he didn't fully believe me but he didn't mention it.

We joined everyone else. The sun had risen and was now shining brightly in the late morning sky. After we were at least two states away we found ourselves a small, shabby little hotel. Once booked two rooms, one for the girls the other for the guys, we ordered some lunch. Over platefuls of food, Angel piped up. "Where are we going next?"

Max cocked her head to the side, contemplating it. "The voice says Africa." Right, okay then, I thought. The voice in Max's head said Africa, so we would go to Africa. I ignored the strangeness of it, after all, nothing about us was normal.

Author's note: The winner is… Bookrain! So just private message me or something like that and tell me which thing you would like to do and we'll take it from there. Thanks so much for reviewing! I was so happy when I saw that you were my 50th review. I believe you've been following my story for a while now, almost since the very beginning so I was sooooo excited when I saw it was you. Congratulations! Thanks to everyone who reviewed as well, like the two best friends who reviewed and so many others. XOXO- Skai.
