I'm sorry for the llloooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg wait! I lost this chapter because of a power search here and I couldn't find it for over a month no matter how hard I tried.

Fang and I took a walk around the gym with Iggy and Ella. Then we split up and fang and I went outside while Iggy and Ella went back to the auditorium. We walked around the football field and then headed back into the school. I glanced at my watch and saw we had only 30 seconds to get back to the auditorium. I glanced at Fang and we ran back.

We made it back just as the cranky librarian was about to close the doors. She let us in while muttering obscenities under her breath. I shot Fang a look as we made our way back stage. Mr. Lévesque shot us a look and told us to sit down.

"Okay, now that everyone's here, all who've already performed can either hang out back here or go join the audience. Those who still have to perform should go get ready." Mr. Lévesque walked out on stage and announced the next act.

Julianne Jonson walked out and started to burp the ABCs forwards and backwards 13 times.

Next was Anna Marie Roberts dancing a ballet to Red Rose.

After Anna Marie, was her twin, Alison May doing an Irish jig.

Five more acts of people singing, dancing, and one kid said things backwards through out his act.

"Next up, we have our last contestant, Miss Maxine Ridden singing A Place in This World." Mrs. McKinney announced and then jumped into the audience and ran screaming her head off out the back doors and down the hall. Every one started laughing at her.

Mr. Lévesque quickly jumped on stage before I could get there and said, "Mrs. McKinney has been fired because the school board finds her insane!" Every one started to cheer.

I got on stage and the music started to play,

"I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today-" suddenly an eraser jumped down in front of me.

"Well ducky, looks like your luck just ran out!" he went to throw a right hook at my face but I ducked and punched him in the stomach sending him into the audience.

Suddenly, erasers were coming from every where at once!

"Leave Max to me!" I knew that growl.

"Hi Maxi, miss me? I missed you, especially when you left me dead in the sewers of New York City and in Germany! Dad's disappointed that you didn't find a better place to hide that your mom's!" Ari dropped right in front of me. I did what Jeb taught the flock to do, don't think, just act. Ari's head snapped back when I performed a roundhouse kick. He must have done some kind of sign because next thing I knew, four erasers had my arms and legs.

"FANG!" I screamed. It was useless, for he was being held captive too.

"Maximum, Maximum, Maximum, you know you die, no? Ve vill kill you soon, you can count on that. Bring the others in!" Ter Borche stepped in front of me.

Four more erasers walked in holding the flock but were having a hard time. I saw Angel bite one and Gazzy kick another in the sweet' spot. Nudge was talking about bread again and her eraser looked like he would let her go if she just shut up for more than two seconds. Iggy had claw marks along his face and it looked like he was knocked out. The audience started to scream and run for the doors but was stopped by even more erasers blocking the aisles.

I started to feel a sharp but dull pain in the back of my head and knew what was coming. I was having a brain attack in the middle of fighting erasers! I bit back my screams as best I could but knew it wouldn't work. I let out a blood-curdling scream and the erasers dropped me and covered their ears.

When I screamed, the pain stopped and I was able to fight. I kicked Ari in the back, causing him to fall into the orchestra pit. The flock broke away from their captors and came running.

"Max! Please don't scream like that again, that hurt! I mean it was cool and everything but the pitch of it was like really, really high! My ears are ringing, is anybody else's cause it feels ve-" Gazzy covered Nudge's mouth and looked at me to give orders on what to do now.

I did a quick 360 and saw the erasers were getting up. "U and A guys, now!"

Angel ran to the edge of the stage and took off; Gazzy followed his sister while Nudge let Iggy to the take-off spot. Fang followed everyone else and when it was my turn, I did a running take-off and my 15 foot wing span whacked a few erasers upside the head.

The whole school stared up at us. Thankfully, there was no one in the balcony area so we flew up to it and ran out the doors. I found a window and pushed it open. Everyone jumped through and we took off.

"Max, where are we going now? And can we pick up Total at your mom's house?" Angel's soft voice broke through the quiet.

"Honestly, I have no idea where to go next Angel. And why would we leave Total behind when he's apart of our flock now?" I replied and coasted into the front yard of my mom's home. I grabbed the bags I stashed a week ago and total and took off to join the flock on our flight around the country, starting in Hollywood.

I understand that it's short and there's not much fighting in it, but I can't write fight scenes and I've run out of time. This is the end. I might write a sequel to it if I get enough reviews! Chao!
