Chapter 9:

Fang POV:

I saw Max, No…I heard Max from down the hallway. It was like nothing I'd ever heard before, Max never screamed, unless, something very bad was happening to her.

This willed my legs to run faster and as I turned the final corner, I saw her. I saw the messy, dirty, blood stained hair and clothes. I saw her arms and legs bruised and cut. I saw her pale, heartbroken face with tears streaming down it. And it made my heart stop. That was Max that they were torturing, my Max that they had chained in there, screaming like she was being burned alive.

When I'd seen this, at first my whole body froze, shut down, in shock. But when she looked up from that bed and saw my face and I saw those eyes I ran into the room as fast as I could.

I literally pushed through the door, snapping the hinges and trying to get to her. I reached to the chains holding her back and undid them. Idmeadiatly she fell into my arms and I caught her. I had one last chance to look into her eyes before she passed out.

Just as I grabbed her, Dylan ran in behind me, breathing heavy.

"Let me take her. You go get the rest of the flock."

My first reaction was

"No."

"Let me take her, Fang."

There was a long awkward silence and I saw everyone watching us from the hallway. They were probably expecting a fight between us but there was no time. We had to get out before the whitecoats got more reinforcements.

I handed Max's body to Dylan and he picked her up bridal style. I walked over to the flock and said

"It's time to fly guys."

I led everyone out to the hall and over to a window. With one powerful kick, I shattered it, breaking the thick glass.

"Follow me."

I proceeded to just walk out, like some cartoon character not knowing the ground was missing. Falling straight down. But I snapped my wings open just in time. The wind lifted me and away the flock and I flew.

I didn't know where to go. It would be difficult to fit such a big group in one space.

Angel, where should we go?

I remember seeing a cave on our way here.

Is it big enough?

Yeah, it was like that hawk cave we visited a while back.

Sounds good.

I had Angel send me the directions through our thoughts and we arrived there in no time. I saw Dylan struggling to keep up while carrying Max's still passed out body.

Everyone moved into the cave and found a spot to sit and rest. I went over to Dylan and said

"I can take care of her now."

I heard him say something under his breath, like we all know how that turned out, but I wasn't going to make anything of it. I reached over and held her limp body, resting her near the fire that gazzy and iggy had started to build.

She looked so peaceful just lying there, but I knew that her whole body must have been in unbearable pain.

I reached down to move her hair from her face, when just as my fingers made contact her eyes blinked open, staring at me. She just looked at me for what seemed like forever, and then whispered so softly,

"Fang?"
