Hi everyone. Just want to say that I'd love if you'd go on my profile and read some of the stuff. I would love to hear from you, and get you opinions on some of My Own stories that I'm starting to put up. All from my own head, not fanfiction. R&R.

(Max's Pov.)

We had made a basic game plan before coming in to rescue Clary from the h*** hole that is the school.

Jace, Fang, and Maya were going to fight the Erasers while I went to go get Clary out using my steel. Jace flung himself forward, tackling the first one. Maya went and kicked the other one in the gut, making him double over in pain. Fang took one of them, holding their arms back while Maya went and kicked him again.

I grabbed my steel from my belt, and went to Clary's cage. I'm sure she was surprised by there being two of me, but there was no time to explain.

"Max," she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Shhh, Clary," I soothed her. "It's going to be alright. We're going to get you out of here. Luke, the Pack, the gang, and some old subjects are helping us get you out. You'll be back home in no time." While I was talking, I was using my steel to carve in an opening rune.

"Promise," she asked, trying to lighten the mood. She held out her pinky finger to me.

I laughed. "Considering how many people are out there fighting right now, I'll say yes." I hooked her pinky finger with my own and shook it.

The latch on the cage snapped open, and I grabbed Clary, pulling her from the cage, and into a hug that we'd never forget.

"Max," she mumbled into my shirt. "I can't believe you're here."

"Well believe it, because this girl isn't going anywhere any time soon."

I heard a crash, and I snapped my head in the direction of the noise. Jace had thrown a Eraser into a lab table, and was currently looking at its body from above. If I didn't know Jace, I'd think it was knocked out.

"You have no idea how much I've wanted to do that," he said threw grinded teeth. He shook it off, and ran to us. He pulled Clary into his own arms, and stood, holding her like a small child. "Oh, Clary. I was so worried. You have no idea what I've been going through."

"Let me guess," Clary pretended to think. "You punched a hole in the wall, yelled, screamed, cried a little, and went and killed something."

"I actually punched three holes into the wall, for your information. Two of them at you house, one at the institute." Clary laughed, but didn't let go.

I smiled, and felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I looked up into the eyes of Fang.

"You got your sister back," he said.

"Yeah for about a minute, but then Jace stole her from me," I answered, pretending to be angry.

"I really don't care what you say, Max," Jace called over. "I don't regret steeling your sister."

I faked frustration, and Fang just smiled at me. I smiled back involuntarily. Then, because it seemed like the right thing to do, I hugged him.

"See, you don't need to hug Clary. Just hug him."

"Shut up, Jace! Stop being so dang cocky."

(Maya's Pov.)

On the way to finding Max's sister, I couldn't help but think about what it was like being her. I've tried so hard to stop thinking like that, but I can't. I think about what it's like being her; I wish I was her; I want to be her.

And when I heard her sister call her name, I would have given anything to be in her place. You could just hear the sisterly love in the way they said each other's names. It was almost painful to listen to. Knowing that Clary, who was technically my blood too, only made it worse.

What's it like, having a sister? Are there any good things to it? What about bad? I wonder if they ever fight. What would it be like, fighting with each other? Would it hurt physically, or just be a stab to the soul. You don't even want to get me started on the mom and dad part of my self-pity section.

Knowing that Max had all this, and I had nothing, only made me want to strangle her. Did she ever take it for granted? She had all the friends, the family, the good will, and the respect. And what did I have? A flock of my own. The main purpose of my existence. To have my own flock. They couldn't even fly.

What I'd do to be Maximum ride.

(Angle's Pov.)

We waited, and waited, but no sign of this mystery person. I wandered who it could be.

Iggy and Gasman were occupied with making the bomb, but me and Nudge were worried out of our minds, wondering what was going on inside the School. Nudge was so worried, she didn't even babble. She didn't talk at all.

I started to push my way into her mind, when I saw something flash. I got up fast, ready to fight if I had to. I looked into the light, and a sparkly figure stepped out.

"So, we meet again," the man said.

"What, your Magnus right?" Nudge asked. "Alec's boyfriend?"

"That would be me."

"You're the one we're waiting for," I asked.

"You were expecting someone else? Who's better at keeping explosions in control then High Warlock of Brooklyn?"

"High Warlock of Los Vegas?" Iggy asked, clipping a wire.

"No. I'm much better than that loser. He's such a pain, I don't even know why the Clave doesn't just kick him out, and relocate him somewhere much less populated. It be a relief to everyone, I sure."

"So you know what to do," I asked.

"Just need to know where they are. Once the pack comes out, we'll locate Max, and I'll tell you when to set off the bomb."

"So what are we supposed to do till then," Gassy asked.

"We wait."

We waited for another ten minutes before the pack, Luke, Max's mom and friend came out, looking beat up, but in one piece.

Iggy and Gasman went to go set up the bomb, so we would just have to wait till they got back.

Maia, the werewolf, came up to us. "All the Fakes have been taken down. Any word from Max?" she asked.

"None," I responded.

"Max didn't think that would happen," Magnus said, his arm around Alec's. "Just find out where they are, and I'll give you the go or not."

I tried to concentrate, but everyone was being so loud. I heard Iggy, and Gassy return. "I can't concentrate out here," I said, yelling over all the talking. "I'll go in and find them."

"NO, ANGLE! STAY PUT!" but I was already gone.

(Fang's Pov.)

We were running out of time. We saw knocked out Erasers everywhere, but we knew that I wouldn't be long before they would wake up. Jace was running ahead, pulling Clary along. I ran beside Max, and Maya ran behind us.

We hadn't seen anyone on our way out.

We busted out the front door. Magnus was waving his hand franticly, yelling something, but we couldn't hear him.

"WHAT!" I yelled. He yelled again, but I still couldn't hear him. "WHAT!"

He made some motions with his hands, and a glowing sign appeared above his head. It said, Angle's inside. Bomb is set and ready to go.

I looked at Max, but she was running back inside.

"What Max stop.

(3rd Person's Pov.)

It all happened so slowly after that.

"NOW?" Iggy yelled.

"NO!" Magnus yelled back.

"GO?"

"NO!"

The words were lost in the wave of people yelling, and talking, that they sounded different and were mistaken. A fatal mistake.

Iggy gave Gasman the signal, and the kid hit the button.

"NO!" Magnus yelled. People started to take notice.

It was sure noticeable when the building exploded. People cheered and dance, except for eight people.

"Where's Max, and Angle!" Clary yelled. The celebration stopped. People looked around, not finding the two girls.

"THEY'RE INSIDE!" Fang yelled.
