"Tell me when you hear my heart stop,
Because you're the only one that knows,
Tell me when you hear my silence
Because there's a possiblity i wouldnt know.

Chapter 5:
Nudge POV:
I was now on the way to find Fang, soaring under the midnight blue sky. You might think that this would be a long, treacherous flight for me. That it would take days to reach Fang, but it wasn't.
Max never realized it, but Fang didn't ever really leave us here alone. If she had gone searching for him there's no doubt that she would have found him.
His location was just 3 miles away from the house.
Iggy POV:
Max, Fang, they were all idiots, stupid, stupid, careless idiots, that now had the rest of the flock suffering. Now I had to be the one in charge, and I mean I thought 10 years ago I made it clear, no responsibility whatsoever. Now look at me, going to rescue the leaders.
I heard Dylan walking down the hall, shuffling his feet. You could tell he was in a bad mood. Poor guy, how can you not feel bad for someone who will never be loved by the girl of his dreams? He'll just be waiting for something that will never happen, never.
He spoke to me in the hallway
"Iggy, it's me Dylan whose talking to you, we should probably leaving fairly soon."
What? Does he think I'm also a stupid idiot who can't recognize voices? What does he think I've been doing for the last 14 years? No wonder Max doesn't want him.
"Yeah, Dylan, how about 10 minutes?"
"Sounds good."
And then that was that.
Fang POV:
Blair looked a lot like Max as she stomped off into the trees. I looked back at her little brother, Henry who watched me with sad eyes. And he said
"Why do you always have your guard up?"
The question took me by surprise; I hadn't been asked that in a while.
"You really get right down to the point don't you?"
"I was just asking, I mean were all friends here."
"I don't even know you."
"But I saved your life, which must count for something."
"Yeah, about that. How did that happen, because the chance of you two surviving against those erasers didn't seem too likely."
"I have powers."
This kid was starting to annoy me, I never had to work so much to get answers from a kid this age. And I really didn't like having talking so much.
"I know you don't like talking to me Fang, but I need to know things."
"So I take it you're a mind reader?"
"Yeah."
"But can't you just read my mind to figure out stuff instead of asking me?"
"My mind reading has limitations, I can only see what you're thinking at this exact moment, not what you've thought days before. And I can send you thoughts and control people. That's how we got away from the erasers."
"Oh, okay then."
So Angel must have been different, since she never had to ask she probably could have always known everything we thought.
Henry kept talking
"There's only one thing that comes up every time I listen to you, it's so repetitive, and it's actually starting to get quite annoying."
"And what's that?"
"Max…the thing you keep thinking about."
"She's not a thing, she's a person and I love her."
Blair surprised me by walking in and asking
"Max? That girl from your blog? The one who is going to save the world?"
"Hopefully when I finish my mission, she won't have to keep trying."
"What mission?" They both asked at the exact same time, like exact.
Now if this had been Iggy and I, he would yell "JINX YOU OWE ME A SODA" and I would grab one and continue to throw it at him super-fast even though he was blind.
But these people weren't my flock.
"What mission?" They asked again.
"The mission where two are coming with me."
When I said this I projected all of my thoughts about the mission and Itex and leaving max and the flock and the white coats right to Henry's head.
"Now don't think you can boss me…" Blair said until Henry interrupted her, finally finished with my thoughts.
"C'mon Blair! He's right, we've got to go help him. This is the chance we've been waiting for."
It was interesting to watch her decide between what her brother wanted, and her pride of not going. She looked like her mind was at war with itself, which continued to remind me of Max.
"Okay, we'll go. But don't expect me to do everything you say."
And she'd finally made up her mind. Head over heart. Max would have been the complete opposite. Everything this girl did I could compare to Max, everything.
"You got it captain." I smiled, which I think startled her; I don't think she's seen my smile yet.
"Whatever…" she mumbled to herself and turned around to start packing.
And then Henry put his thoughts into my head.
Even though you're sad about leaving Max, I'm glad because then we never would've found you.
This was not what I wanted to hear. I turned and walked into the woods, trying not to flat out run. I stopped until I got to a spot that was far enough away Henry couldn't hear me thinking.
NO, I wasn't going to settle down with these people. I wasn't ready to let go. I couldn't let myself become attached. I wasn't going to start a new life. My flock is my life, Max is my life. I can't let anyone change that, I can't.
I sat there and thought for a moment, then decided to head back.
I walked to the camp, feeling more unsure than ever about this. But I couldn't let that fear show, I had to be their leader now. And so, I tried to forget about my conscience, to put everything behind me for just a moment. I looked at the two of them and as confidently as I could say it,
"Let's fly."
REVIEW PLEEEEEASE!
