A.N- Sorry for a kind of crappy chapter, but it just took so long that I don't want to keep you all waiting any longer; and anyways, you get to actually meet the voice now! So please vote and yada, yada, yada…

Thank to: LOVE HATE DUH, Maximumridelover14(I've already said this: I have the story planned out and I won't change who's baby it is (there's only one person out there who knows the father, not including myself); and Kate's baby will be important in my sequel. But thank you for that and I'll probably be making another story in the future all about Mylan, just for you.), Burnin'blackandblue, star1321 (Thanks), MockingJayBirds (You actually already got to meet 'the voice' in earlier chapters, but yes, the flock will meet them in this one), dopeycookiemonster, & Team-Sooric-Delena.

Good Itex?

"Everyone ready?" I ask.

They all nod with some 'Yup's here and there.

"Hey Iggy, grab that last bag to your right, would you?" I add quickly.

Iggy looks down and grabs it, then tosses it to me and spreads his wings like the rest of the flock.

"We'll put all of it up in a tree, to get back later. That way if this gets ugly, our hands will be free." I tell everyone.

More nods around the camp.

"OK now, Ratchet, lead the way!" I say.

He nods and Fang grabs him from under the arms. We were going to fly there because it'd be faster.

As everyone started to go to their designated flyers, I flew up into a tree and stashed all of our things; which wasn't much. Then I jumped up from the top of that tree and joined the others, which earned me a kick to the stomach by a non-too-appreciative passenger.

Ratchet had told us what happened when we got to camp, in more detail. He'd said that he'd been ready to fight whoever these people were, but then realized that they'd really only wanted to talk to him. So he'd calmed down and listened. They'd said that they were part of Itex; the good part that was allied with Jeb. They told Ratchet to get us and he agreed, telling them to stay put. He walked back to camp slowly and listened closely to any sounds behind him and noticed that they were staying true to their word, and actually waiting. So to Ratchet, they were almost trustworthy.

"Down there!" Ratchet tells Fang, pointing downward at a clump of trees.

We all made our descend; me landing last, in front of them all. Fang and Dylan quickly came forward to my left and to my right, without being asked.

Four people stood in front of us; three men and one woman. "Hello Max," Said one of the men. "It's nice to finally meet you all in person. My name is Jake. This is Gavin, Chris, and Livy." He said, gesturing to the others.

The man who spoke was in his mid or late twenties, average height, average weight, light brown hair, and brown eyes. He looked to be the oldest and the leader by the way he stood calmly in front of the other three, and since he was the one who spoke first.

The other man (or should I say boy), Gavin, was around our age; pretty young actually, maybe fourteen. His body was a lot like Iggy's and Fang's used to be, before they got some muscle into them, he was as skinny as a bean pole and pretty tall too. His skin was a shade lighter than Nudge's, his hair was a dark gray, and his eyes were a pretty gray-blue color that really stood out from his skin (did I really just think that?).

The last man, Chris, was in his early twenties and had a strange reddish tint to his hair. He was kind of short compared to the rest of us, but would be a normal height for a human. He had almost scary looking black eyes that looked a lot, yet nothing at all, like Fang's. His eyes were very dark, but unlike Fang's, the blackness didn't stop at the iris, it went all around the eyeball from what I could see. He was also pretty pale.

Beside Chris was the woman, Livy. She was also in her early twenties and looked a lot like the man beside her, Chris. She was short, had those scary black eyes, and had the same pale skin tone too. The only big difference was the fact that her hair had a blue-ish tint, instead of Chris's red-ish one.

"Who the hell are you, how do you know my name, and how did you know where to find us?" I ask, un-amused of his kind smile.

He didn't seem surprised by my awesome manners, and answered all of my questions with one simple statement. "I'm the voice."

"Oh, where's the fun in that Jake?" Livy spoke up from the side.

"I thought we were going to let her guess!" Chris shouts.

"Do you really want her to get even more pissed at us? I think we've made her guess enough already!" Jake tells them, looking back.

All the while, I'm gaping in front of them.

Livy looks up at me and gets a worried look on her face. "Max, are you OK?" She shouts, walking forward. "Is it the baby?"

My eyes widen and I start to back up.

"Oh I'm sorry." She says and stops in her tracks, right as Fang and Dylan took a step forward.

"Livy, get back here!" Jake tells her. When Livy walks back to him, he starts to speak angrily at her, "You know as well as I do how we'll have to earn their trust. You know how hard it is to get that trust and you are not making it any easier by invading their space. And with Max being in the condition she is now, they'll all be even more cautious."

I blush slightly.

"I don't think they appreciate you talking about them like they're not here." Gavin finally speaks up.

"The kid's right, and if you don't start explaining why it is that you wanted us, right now, then we're out of here." I shout.

"Right. Sorry Maximum. Well we have a lot to explain, which can't be overheard. So I was thinking that maybe you'd be willing to come with us, to a more private place where we can tell you everything." Jake says.

I snort. "You're kidding right?" I ask, almost laughing. "How do I know you're not just going to take us and experiment on us like Itex has been trying to do?"

Jake sighs. "I knew this would be difficult. Oh how I wish you still had a mind reader." He says, shaking his head. He looks up, more serious now. "Max, please. We don't have time for this. We need to get the trackers out of all of you and fast. I'll do anything you ask me to, to earn your trust. Just come with us, all of you."

My eyes widen at his words. Mind reader? Angle? Tracker?

My eyes tear up a little, but I stop it before anyone has a chance to see. "Dylan, I know it's not reading they're mind, but can you tell if someone is lying?" I ask, in my leader voice.

"Yeah, I can tell if someone's lying, I would have to be in contact with that guy though. I don't know his vibe." Dylan tells me.

I nod to Jake and Dylan moves forward.

Jake walks a few steps closer, eager to prove that he's telling the truth.

Next to Dylan, Jake looked really short. At more than a foot shorter than him, Jake looked like a midget. But since Dylan was pretty tall, I guess it wasn't much.

Dylan reached his hand out, and made contact with Jake's arm. "Alright, his mood's pretty calm, now you have to ask him something."

"Are you really the voice?" I ask.

"Yes." Jake says calmly.

"Truth." Dylan tells me.

It was one thing to hear it from this stranger, but now that it was proven true by Dylan I felt different somehow. Like I almost liked the mystery, and now that it was gone, so was the fun. "Alright, are you really with Jeb?" I ask next.

"Yes, and we're a good part of Itex."

"Truth."

I nod. Well I wasn't going to doubt Dylan's judgment. So far, he'd always been right when reading people's emotions, and he knew how people's emotions changed when they were lying.

"Fine, we'll go with you. But just remember that if you try anything, with any of us, I won't hesitate to kill you." I say darkly.

They all nod. Livy and Chris looking a little scared.

Jake turns around, to walk into the woods. "You should get everything you stashed. You'll probably be with us for a while." He says, still facing the trees.

"How'd you know we stashed stuff?" I ask.

"Last time I made contact with you, as the voice, I saw that you'd brought things with you. And knowing you, I would guess that you hid them. In case they got in the way." He tells me.

"Whatever." I say, unimpressed. "You all can go ahead, I'll be right back." I say and spread my wings.

The four of them nod and walk into the woods.

"Go with them, I'll just take a few seconds." I tell the flock (Which now includes Fang's gang by the way).

They all nod and walk to where the people had gone; except for Fang. "I'll wait here for you." He tells me.

I nod and go up into the air, avoiding all if the branches on my way up.

When I'm up in the sky I fly normally for a few seconds, before using my power and shooting away. It only takes a few seconds to fly what had taken us a few minutes to do with normal flying, just a short while ago.

When I get into the tree with our things, I thank God that they all packed super light and I only had to carry about eight or ten pounds. I quickly snatch everything up and shoot into the air again.

I'd only been gone for maybe half a minute and when I got back, Fang was still there, waiting.

"Let me carry some of it." He says, holding out a hand.

"Here," I say and just when Fang grabs half of the bags, the baby kicks me. "Fuck." I whisper.

"You OK?" Fang asks, over my hunched form. "Did he kick you again?"

"Yeah, and yeah." I say as I straighten back up. "I don't think he likes flying very much." Fang looks like he's about to say something, but I cut him off. "I'm fine, we have to go. They're all waiting for us." I say and start walking.

When we get to where the others are, we see an aircraft thing that I guess we were all supposed to travel in. It was pretty big and I was a little curious as to how they fit it in this small clearing.

Once we're in, we all take a seat inside of the triangular aircraft. The seats were all along the sides and we actually all fit, with more room to spare than I would have thought possible.

"Alright, I will tell you our whole story. The others can tell you their story if you wish, but I have to tell you about the voice first and Dylan can see if I lie about anything." Jake says.

"Fine." I say.

LOVE YOU:D
