Now, that took forever…
Previously: I hoped I was right as I crashed through the nearest door and took off into the sky.
I flew in circles around the facility for the next hour. Hoping to catch a glimpse of that face I've missed for so long.
After too long, I landed in a tree. I overshot the branch slightly and tried to grab a higher branch to compensate. I missed and plummeted. I landed with a loud thud on the ground. Landing on your shoulder is not a recommended choice.
I glanced around and there laying next to me was a feather. Not my feather. Max's feather. I hurriedly stood and did a sweep. I found another feather a few feet away.
I quickly picked up the trail of lost feathers and found an alcove deep in the trees
There laying in the center of the meadow was Max.
There was a small pool of blood around her left arm. A bullet wound was continuously releasing blood.
I rushed forward and knelt down beside her. I reached down and tore a strip off of the bottom of my shirt. I wiped the area clean and applied another strip of shirt to the wound. I bound it quickly, staunching the flow of blood.
All I could do now was wait. I cradled her head in my arms and stared down upon her face. I laid down next to her and held her tightly. Before long I dozed off.

I woke up in a very groggy state of mind. I looked around, and then jumped when I noticed there was someone laying right beside me. He stirred, and sat up. He looked at me curiously then stood. I edged backwards.
"Max? What are you doing?" Max, that was my name, right?
I looked more closely at the boy looking at me and realized his name was Fang. But I truly didn't know who he was.
"Your… your Fang, right?"
"Yeah, why, what's wrong?"
"I know your Fang, but I don't know who you are."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that, I look at you and know that your name is Fang. But I can't recall how I know you. Who you are. I know my name is Max. But who am I. I don't remember my life."
He looked around shocked. A slight feeling of hurt glazing his eyes. He quickly snapped out of it.
"Max, you have to remember! The flock. Iggy. Gasman. Nudge. Angel. The School. Jeb. Me…"
"What's the school?"
It took him a moment and then he decided. I Maximum Ride, was told my whole life story by a some-what complete stranger. The funny thing was, is it all sounded like it fit.

It was utterly shocking. She had a small case of amnesia, which is to be expected after being in a coma. But she didn't remember anything, except names.
I told her everything. The beginning. Test rat equivalents. The School. Jeb. Escape. The Flock. Ari. Saving the World. Only thing I left out, that I loved her.
She seemed to except all of this as the truth and so somewhere inside of her, she must remember. And I knew with time, she would.
Bad ending, I know! But just think she will remember and they hide and live happily ever after, or if you are happily a pessimist, they all get massacred! Have a nice day and make it a good ending.
