On with the story…

Fang's POV

I took everything I had not to cry, not to feel like shit, even though I felt worse. We had her and now she was gone again by someone who told us to bring her back only to snatch her the first moment he could. Too late, a tear rolled down my cheek, I brushed it away hastily.

'It's ok, Fang, you can cry,' Angel sobbed calmly landing beside me in Dr. Martinez's yard. I tried to smile but I couldn't it just hurt too much.

'I need to go for a walk,' I whispered walking away from the rest of the flock, who Ella was taking inside. I wandered aimlessly into the trees. I must have walked for about half a mile before anger bubbled up inside too strongly, I punched the closest trees, I punched it with such force it had a fist indented it. I was so angry that I grabbed the tree and tried to pull it out of the ground. I gasped as it came out of the ground. I held the tree above my head; it must have been at least a tonne. I'd discovered a power. I had to tell Max, that's when I forgot I was still holding the tree; it thumped me on the head, causing me to pass out.

Angel's POV

It was just too hard to accept that Max was gone again, I sobbed into Dr. Martinez's shoulder for a least an hour, when I pulled away I saw her eyes were glistening with tears too.

'I thought we could trust him, that's why he was still here, I'm so sorry!' she whispered, her mind seemed to be so confused and upset, I hugged her.

'We'll get her back, Dr. Martinez,' I sniffed

'Call me, mom,' she replied. I smiled and wiped my eyes; I hopped off of her lap and went to check on the others.

I found Iggy lying on a bed upstairs, he cheeks streaked with tears. Gazzy was swimming in the pool, his tears mixing with the water. Nudge was with Ella in her room, Nudge was crying and recounting the story of how we had found Max and then just going on about where she could be, Ella looked at me, pleadingly.

'Nudge, breathe, and shush!' I said, Nudge stopped suddenly.

'Oh, sorry…' she broke off into sobs again. I walked off to find Fang, I looked in his usual room but he wasn't there. I turned the house upside down looking for him. I looked for two hours. But I couldn't find him anywhere, suddenly I realised he said he went off for a walk, but he should've been back by now. I ran to where Iggy.

'Iggy, Iggy, Fang's been gone for hours, where is he?' I shouted at him. He jumped up, he must've been asleep.

'Oh, what, what, oh, it's only you,' he said, 'He'll be back, just probably needs some time alone, you know him liking Max and everything!'

'Ok,' I wasn't completely sure of his answer but I thought I'd get a second opinion.

Dr. Martinez's POV

Why did I trust him, why did I let him stay here, why did I let him take my daughter away, why, why, why!

All of the flock were in tears, Fang had stormed off for some time alone with his thoughts, and Angel had been running around the house, who knows why. Gazzy wanted to be strong and went swimming to mask the tears. I wish Max was back, she's been away too long, it was only a couple of years ago that I'd even known she was my daughter. Jeb is a snake, just waiting patiently to strike. I wanted him gone and now he is but with my Max. I don't feel anywhere near the amount of hurt that the rest of her flock do. But it's still frustrating. I was so heartbroken when I was pushed out of the Itex plans, I mean, I had given the egg and the next thing I was being shut out of the whole process. Fang has been away for about three hours, I should be worried and I am beginning to be but he's a big boy he can look after himself. No doubt he's probably flying in the night skies, right this second.

'Mom, can I speak to you a sec?' Angel popped her head around the door, I smiled and wiped my eyes.

'Sure, honey,' I replied pulling her onto my lap.

'I'm worried about Fang, he should be back by now,' she whispered

'I'm sure he's fine, go and get ready for bed now and tell Nudge and Gazzy to as well, I'll wake you all if he gets back, oh and tell Iggy to,' I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead, before she ran off to get ready for bed. I settled back into the sofa, nursing my mug of coffee. I thought of Max again and heard the quiet drops as my tears mixed with the warm liquid. I heard footsteps as all the kids got ready for bed. Ella came into the room and sat next to me, snuggling into my shoulder.

'She will be alright, won't she?' she whispered almost inaudibly

'I hope so, darling, I hope so,' I replied.

Iggy's POV

Moment we get her we loose her, her injuries weren't even that bad. But stupid Jeb just had to take her, he'd just gained our trust back and then he dashes all that and takes her to god only knows where. I wish we'd never let her go in the first place then she wouldn't have been hurt, Fang could've been there for her as always. I wish I was Fang, Max seems to like him, the way she acts around him, she obviously like him and Fang's told me that he likes Max. I don't want them to get together, but she'll never see me as anything more than a brother. God, I just wish she would realise I loved her.

Gazzy's POV

I didn't want anyone to see my tears, so I'd been swimming but I couldn't stand losing Max again. We'd only just found her and lost her. Crap, I'm crying again. I pulled the covers up to my face and buried my face in it. I'm glad I had my own room, I was Max's little trooper, I didn't want anyone to see the streaks on my dirty face, Max would've cleaned me up and held me. Fang would have tried to comfort me but he was god knows where. The others don't have much experience and I didn't want to go to Dr. Martinez, I mean I'd only just met her but she was Max's mom and maybe she was like Max, maybe she would comfort me and take control of the situation, but she couldn't take over from Max. Max was my mom really, I didn't really need anyone else, she was probably better than most moms. I wish she was here right now. Jeez, we need to save her.

Nudge's POV

I wish Max was here. I wanted her to hold me rather than Ella had but that was impossible. I loved Jeb like a father, now he was a brutal enemy. Angel was sobbing in her bed, so I went to comfort her. I laid down beside her and she hugged me, I guess I was mini Max now. Fang should be here to look after her, but I don't know where he went after we got back. He could look after himself. I want Max back. I want her now. I wish Jeb was dead. I wish we killed him while we had the chance.

Angel's POV

Nudge was holding me, trying to comfort me, but it wasn't working. I just sobbed harder. I needed Max like…like…well I don't know. I just needed her. I wanted Max because she was like my mom, the only person who could provide proper comfort when you're down, the only one to hold you and know what to do when you cried. She was the only mom I needed, just six months ago I actually found out she was still alive. I was so devastated when we thought she had died. The space where my heart was felt empty, I didn't know how to go on, but here I am knowing she is still alive but not knowing if I'll ever see her again. A new wave of tears flooded my face.

Where are you, Max?

We need you, Max!

Again, this is what happened between Max waking up and falling off the Empire State Building.
