Okay, I know its kinda short, and I also know you're all really anxious to find out what happened so that's why I kinda made it short. I'm going to be gone until the 25th so I probably won't get another chapter in until sometime after that, just so you all know. Don't yell at me!!!

I woke in a metal room facedown on a metal table. My wings felt stiff, as did everything else. My arms were bound to the table, so I couldn't move them, and I had a huge headache. The first thing that came into my head was where is Kismet?

You would think I would be wondering what had happened to me, where I was, and how I got there, but one of the things that came with motherhood was putting yourself last. I was very confused, but then the memories of what had happened flooded into my head. I gasped and felt the tears wanting to come. They had both me and my baby! Who knew what they could be doing to her? Horrible thoughts and images ran through my head, all consisting of the scientist torturing my baby girl.

I heard the door open and stiffened. I was facing away from the door, so I couldn't see who it was that had entered, but I knew it had to be a scientist. I heard the clicking of some perfectly clean shoes with the hard soles, and also the swishing of a white coat.

"Hello Max."

I looked up into the eyes of Jeb.

"What did you do with her?!" I demanded instantly, completely ignoring the trouble I myself was in.

"We haven't done anything to her." he told me in a voice that was supposed to be reassuring.

"Don't give me that crap, Jeb. I know what you people do with people like me, and I'm not about to believe that you're going to hold back on experiments just because she's two." My teeth were clenched tightly, and the words came out in almost a growl.

"I see you're just as bullheaded as always." Jeb replied offhandedly as he put a few notes down on the clipboard in his hands.

"Jeb, give me back my daughter and let us go. Now." I tried to keep my temper down, but it was hard. God he had my baby! He could do anything to her and she wouldn't be able to protect herself.

"Max, as much as I would like to do that, I really can't. You kids could do so much for us. Especially the toddler."

"You leave her out of this."

"You were the one to bring her into it."

"Well I didn't want to." I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. I hated Jeb, I truly did. He was causing me so much trouble. I didn't deserve this. None of us deserved this. We were just kids, and yet we had been thrown into this world without any consent.

"I know you didn't want to, Max, but these things happen." he laid a hand on my shoulder and I jerked away as much as I could.

"Don't talk to me as if you know me. You don't. You don't know anything about me anymore. You might have known the old Max, but I'm seventeen now. I've changed, unlike you, who will always be an asshole."

I was glaring, and I saw the surprise and hurt in your eyes, but I didn't care. I hated him for what he'd done to me and the flock, and what he was doing to us now. We had all trusted him, but he had betrayed that trust, and I would never forgive that. He didn't deserve forgiveness.

He stuck a needle in my arm and my world once again went black.
