Max.

I can't, I'm sorry, but I'm failing!

I remember that night, when I heard you think about…

You were wondering if you should ask me.

I said yes.

You asked me if I could.

I said yes.

You asked me if I'm sure, because you could probably come up with another one.

I said yes.

And then we stayed awake all night in preparation for the future.

Oh Max, I wish you were here with me.

Our plan is working!

My mission is going as planned!

Except…

The way everyone looks and thinks at me…

I know you know the truth; I can hear your encouraging thoughts.

But I don't want to be a traitor.

I know I'm not really one. But I still…

Max.

Can you come and save me?

Please.

I hate it here!

I don't want to and I can't.

Oh Max I'm so sorry bu-


Angel was sitting in the room that the white-coats had given her to sleep in.

Her pencil had broke.

She reached to take another pencil, and as she held the piece of wood- something in her changed.

She dropped the pencil, got into bed and hugged Celeste under the blanket, wishing she had someone to stack hands with other than a stuffed bear.

Yet she knew she must stay, for that is the only way she can aid her flock.


a/n: JFW1415- thank you for the reviews (Melissaeverlasting thank you too). You asked why does the flock love flying if it hurts them?

I myself would love to fly, to spread my wings and catch the wind, no matter whats the cost. But thats just me.

Another thing- the flock is stronger then humans so jumping from a 2 story building, isn't as painful as it sounds.

Plus the cold wind might help a bit (like ice to bruises).

You also said - 'there is pollution in the sky. That's what's causing global warming'.

I guess Iggy was talking relatively; with his heightened senses he probably did smell the pollution but it was less strong. (Like when you come out of the bathroom and the air seems cleaner.)
