So Here is the second Chapter, I hope that it's better than the first, though it might be a little confusing at first it will all make sense at the end. I would really like a comment this time. I really want to do a good job and I want your opinion on it. By the way I don't own Maximum Ride, though I wish I did because that would be cool. Enjoy.

I could see the Flock hovered around a small camp fire that Fang just made, eating the last bit of our food before hitting the sack. All we had was a pack of hot dogs and a few stale buns, I told myself that we would get food for sure in the morning, something nice and big because they have to go through so much. Maybe I-Hop?

The fire wasn't going to last forever, we only had a couple pieces of wood and I could tell that the fire was only going to last two hours tops. That was all we could collect, since we were in a cave on a cliff that was out looking a giant forest. I could remember the rock walls clearly, it was a desert sand sort of color, only much harder. When I touched the wall it felt smooth, almost as if it had been manmade. I looked back at the flock, the fire was growing smaller and smaller by the minute. "I'm going to go and look for more wood, ok? Fang, you're in charge." I directed my gaze at him.

Fang nodded and looked back at the fire, we hadn't exactly been on the best of terms lately, actually it was worse than that, we were kind of in a fight. After we rescued my mom we got into a fight about what to do next, I wanted to continue to save the world while he still wanted to settle down. After we rescued my mom Fang had thought that staying with my mom and Ella where they lived would be perfect, but I disagreed. I thought that Intex had secretly re-built itself and was up to something fishy, Fang on the other hand believed that Intex was gone forever and wanted to leave it at that. I however, wasn't going to give it up. I was Maximum Ride, I finished things to the end. I was supposed to save the world and my job wasn't done yet.

I looked out into the open sky in front of me, the sunset was a breathtaking orange mixed with a lemonade pink and a deep sky blue. I spread my winds, ready to take off in the beautiful setting sky when I felt a pair of small hands wrap around my waist in a hug. "Be really careful. Ok Max?" Angel pleaded with me as she let go.

Taken aback, I turned around to face her, "Um… Ok. Why did you say that?" I asked nonchalantly.

I didn't want to freak her out, but she could probably tell by my thoughts right now that I was generally frightened about why she would say something like that. Angel was never wrong, and she never told me to be careful, ever. So what was so important to tell me that now as I left to go get more fire wood? "I- I don't know." She looked up at me as she read my thoughts, "I don't know. Just be careful ok?"

I looked at her tiny face and I could see the tears in her eyes. "Maybe I should go with you." I jumped as Fang spoke up for the first time, I was so focused on Angel's face that I didn't see him come up to join us.

I looked at the rest of the Flock still at the camp fire with the same exact looks on their faces that I'm sure I had, worry, concern, and confusion. I could also see something that wasn't on my face, fear. The last thing I needed was for them to worry over me. "I'll be fine." I said firmly, "I just better go before it gets dark, or else I might not be able to find something good. I'll be back soon, promise."

I turned around, about to take off again, when I felt another firm hand on my shoulder, "Max, I really think that I should come with you." Fang said more firmly this time.

I turned around again, angry now. Why couldn't he just let me go? I saw Angel step back as I let my anger show. "I can go by myself! I'm a big girl now Fang and I think that I can manage to take care of myself. Just stay with the rest of the Flock until I get back. Then you can do whatever the hell you want!" Without waiting for a response I snapped my winds out immediately and jumped into the chilly air without looking back.

Temper Temper Max, I can tell you know that you'll get nothing done with an attitude like that.

I ignored the Voice just like I ignored Fang, I wasn't going to let anyone bother The cool breeze felt good as I left the cave behind. I heard Fang call my name as I descended to the ground but I didn't look back. He thought that I couldn't handle myself, but I would show him. I was Maximum Ride, I could save the world if I wanted to.

The leaves tickled a little as I finally landed in the woods and out of the view of the flock, I peered up through the trees to see Fang glancing down one last time before he turned his back on me in defeat and disappeared.

I walked around aimlessly for a while, just to let myself calm down and think about what just happened. Eventually I started to collect fire wood though, it was going to get dark soon and I couldn't waste valuable time just walking around thinking to myself, I could do that later on watch. After a while I had a good armful of wood and was just walking around again to think. What was I going to do about Fang? I didn't want to split up again but I didn't want to settle down either. I really thought that I had a job to do and I didn't just want to give it up. Suddenly I hear a snap of a twig. I wasn't alone anymore. "Fang?" I called, I turned around, but the dream was over before it even began.

So I hope you liked this chapter more than the first, I know it's a little late because I said I would post every week, but I hope you like it anyway. Happy Thanksgiving. Until next week.
