I think I'm starting to take up James Patterson's style of writing! Every chapter seems to be shorter and shorter! Anyway, here's chapter 13. R&R!

I felt my heart skip a beat and I gasped, turning to face whoever it was. I choked back a sob when I saw who it was. My arm that wasn't currently holding Kismet came up and wrapped around the person's neck as I sobbed into his chest.

"Max, Kismet, thank god…" Fang mumbled into my hair as he hugged us.

"Oh my god, Fang!" I sobbed as I hugged him tighter. "Where's the flock?" I questioned.

"We got a room at a motel."

"Daddy!" Kismet squealed.

Fang smiled and pulled her into his arms as he held her tight, and then leaned over and gave me a long, passionate kiss.

"How'd you get away?"

I quickly told him everything that had happened from the moment I bolted to that exact moment. He looked at me like I was some kind of god.

"You beat up ten Erasers and a bunch of Scientists?"

I blushed, "I wouldn't say ten Erasers… and the Scientists are weaklings, so that's nothing to gloat about…"

"You, are amazing." he smiled.

I blushed and smiled as well as I followed him back to the motel.

We got back to the motel and I was greeted by the flock. They told me what had happened when I was gone. They had fought off the Erasers quickly, and right after they had gone looking for me and Kismet. They looked for two days before finally starting to go back to the school for a rescue mission. It was then that they came to the motel for a rest, and Fang stumbled across me because he had needed some air. They were all horrified when I told them that my wings were hurt and I couldn't fly.

"What do you mean you can't fly?" Fang demanded.

"I hurt my wings when I fell. I haven't tried for a day, but I don't think they're any better yet."

"They must have done something to them." Iggy decided, probably thinking about his own eyes. I felt a pang of fear at the thought of them tampering with my wings.

"I'll kill them." Fang said through clenched teeth.

"Fang, I haven't tried them out, they might be better." I tried to reason.

He mumbled something that I didn't catch but then, looking at a clock said, "We should get to sleep. We'll see if we can leave tomorrow."

We all nodded in agreement and went to sleep. Before I even fell asleep I knew that the next day was going to hold unknown and unwelcome challenges.
