Chapter 4:

Iggy POV:

Max was gone? Oh god no. We had all just been getting along fine, until the whitecoats just had to screw it up again. And things had seemed to be getting better. But of course what did I know? I'm just the blind kid.

And what did Dr. G-H mean about angel knowing where Fang is? That girl has some major explaining to do.

Angel POV:

We all just sat there not really knowing if what just happened was real. None of us wanted it to be real. Our worst nightmare was to have our leader taken from us.

"You guys, we have to get Max back."

Nobody answered me for a while. Until iggy looked up and asked

"What does he mean that you know where Fang is?"

"I, uh…"

Nudge spoke up and said, "I was able to see where he was going by touching the letter he left."

She sat there looking like she was about to burst into tears.

"You guys there's no time to be crying, we need to go rescue Max."

"Are you sure we should?" Iggy asked.

"Am I sure? Of course I'm sure, this is Max were talking about. If any of us were taken she'd already be out the door, on her way to find us. And now this is our turn to find her."

"You're right Angel, sorry. But what about Fang…not only do we have to go get him, but we have to make him come with us to the school. And, honestly I don't feel right about turning Fang in."

"In his letter Fang said all he wanted to do was protect Max, and this is how he can do it."

"Okay, so I guess we'll have to split up though."

"Split up?" Gazzy cried.

"Yeah Gazzy, I mean we need someone to get Fang and the rest to go find Max. We only have a week to get Fang to the school, and splitting up will make this a lot faster."

"I'll do it, I'll go find Fang." Nudge said.

We were all shocked that Nudge had just offered herself for the most dangerous part of the mission.

"Nudge you can't just go by yourself."

"But I'll be able to find him with my powers, Fang won't be expecting just one of us and you're going to need as many people as you can to get into itex."

"Okay then, we have it settled. Nudge will find Fang and the rest of us will go save Max." Iggy said "Dylan you have the bags already packed, so everyone get ready and we'll leave in 30 minutes."

Everyone separated throughout the house, but I still had to talk to Gazzy about the mission that Max had given us before she had been taken.

Gazzy, lets hold off on the mission max gave us. Finding max is more important.

Okay Angel, but should we tell the rest of the flock about it?

No, let's just worry about it later.

Kay.

Fang POV:

I dreamed all of those terrible, broken memories that night. The painful ones of Max and me, from during the life that now I can't go back to.

Me and Max in those death cages, being tortured, but fighting every second because we knew that together we had someone to fight for.

Max kissing me on the beach, while I was helpless and injured

In the cave

In her mom's house

On the submarine

In that tent

In the trees

Under the stars

At that party, where I kissed her knowing it would be my last time.

Battling all of the obstacles that Itex had set up for us, never giving up because we knew it was our flock on the line.

Giving her flock both a leader and a mother was her full time job, and she was able to love us every second of the way.

My best friend, I could say things to her that I couldn't say to anyone else. When I talked, or laughed, or just even smiled I could see her whole body light up inside.

Max, my soul mate.

I woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. I was lying on the damp floor of the forest. I looked over and saw a small campfire and that girl sitting there, staring at me intensely. The little boy sat next to her too.

She held out a plate to me and said

"Eat."

I didn't want to accept the food, but I was starving so I did anyway.

"So I take it your Fang, seeing as you match your blog description pretty well, oh and you have wings."

"Apparently I'm not the only one."

I sat up and we stared at each other, sort of sizing each other up. The awkwardness between us grew with every second.

I really wanted to know who this girl was, and why she had helped me. And that's when the little boy, who I had completely forgotten about, said

"I'm Henry, this is my sister Blair. And we only helped you because you're a mutant just like us."

Immediately I thought mind reader, but I was already so used to Angel looking through my thoughts, that his power seemed normal.

Angel I thought. And with one name, it brought back the memories of my old flock, my best friends, and the most wonderful amazing, beautiful girl in the world. Max. I wanted to curl up and feel sorry for myself, but now wasn't the time for that.

I looked back up at the 2 bird kids before me, maybe these strangers were the people I'd been searching for.

The boy, Henry, was a cute little kid, with a short, scrawny figure. He had bright blue eyes like his sister, but his hair was completely different. His had short, light brown waves, sort of smoothed against his head, while his sister had an almost white blonde, pin straight, shoulder length cut. You could tell it had been dyed though; her roots were brown like her brothers.

They looked so clean, I wondered how that could've happened if they had just taken on the 100 erasers that had just attacked him.

He girl kept watching him, like she was expecting him to jump up and fly away.

Well, so much for my escape plan.

"So Fang, make yourself feel at home, eat food, rest."

She turned around to walk away, but I said back,

"I'm not done talking with you. I still have questions."

"I don't care about what you want, were going to continue this tomorrow, goodnight."

She walked away into the woods, stomping the ground, crackling the leaves as she went.

Her brother looked at me and said

"Don't worry about her, actually i think she likes you."

And with that I had nothing to say.

REVIEW PLEASEEEEEEEEEE advice and comments would really help.
