Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride or Harry Potter

I would like to apologies for my last chapter. I didn't look through it as well as I would had liked to. Sorry!

"I'm glad that you guys are going because this school is very safe and has great classes."

The flock didn't want to leave right then…they didn't want to leave the resting place of Angel. But sadly they all got on a plane. Not only were they sad for the leaving bit but also for the plane bit. The flock always was in a plane it seemed. They rarely ever got to just spread their wings.

The plane was stocked with food and chips and sodas. Video games littered the floor. It was a privet jet that the flock rode. The Navy Base had grown fond of the flock and had pulled a few strings for them.

Even in their slightly better, depressed state, food and games just didn't seem fun anymore. All the flock did was look out the window. Only eating when the pilot said they should.

Hour's past, Max was looking out the window a sad expression on her face. For Fang it was almost torture to see Max like this. So he stood and walked over to her. He knew that she was taking Angel's death the hardest. Fang sat next to Max and held her hand. This slightly lightened her mood, but it just wasn't enough. Then without warning, a voice different from THE voice and from Max's own wiggled its way into Max's thoughts.

"Don't blame yourself." it said. It was a light hearted voice, soft and kind. Almost like Angel's. This brought even more pain.

"It wasn't your fault Max" it said this as if Max's world hadn't just fallen apart.

"But it was."Max thought." I should have been there. I should have been there to help and to protect her." Max thought she was truly going insane.

"Are you the voice?" Max thought.

"I'm a voice…but not THE voice." It said casually.

"So what are you here for?" Max thought. Are you here to deliver some great all-knowing message?"

"No I'm here because Angel died and I have no one to tell my secrets too."The unknown voice said. Max paused.

"You talked to Angel?"

"Yes. I was the one that told Angel all those things. Like what the password was for the ATM in New York. Or that you guys should go to Florida. All those things were because of me." This was a bit for Max to take in.

"So why are you with me now?" Max asked after a long pause.

"I'm here now because my work isn't done yet."

This seemed to be enough for the day. So max didn't say anything more.

This whole thing shook Max to the core. She'd thought that Angel would have mentioned a voice. Though she might have thought it was a mind she was reading. She didn't want to think about this anymore. So Max lade her head down on Fang's shoulder and fell asleep.

What seemed to be only the next second Gazzy was shaking Max and Fang. Fang had also fallen asleep.

"The plane has landed" said Gazzy. Max looked out the window and saw only forest.

"Where's the school?" or any building for that matter Max thought.

"The pilot said that he can't take us directly there, and that there's only one town that's sort of nearby.

"Well isn't that peachy." Max said in an annoyed voice as she got up from where she sat. When she did this Fang (whose head had been resting on Max's) almost fell over and then woke with a jolt.

"Did we land?" Fang asked.

"Ya…"said Max sill lightly annoyed."The plane is dropping us off in the middle of nowhere. "

The flock moved off the plan in a sleepy hungry bunch. The flock had finally found their appetite and was regretting leaving the food on the plane.

"All they told me was for you guys to fly east, that you'll know it when you see it."

The flock wasn't bothered by theses vague instruction. They'd been wondering around the world with the instructions of "that way" almost all their lives.

So spreading their wings in long beautiful feathery glory the flock took off, leaving the pilot in awe and about to faint.

The flock flew in silence. The whole flock was felling horrible. This whole thing was just one horrible life smashed into a few days. Angel dying was something that the flock had barely even considered. Angel was their little beautiful girl who had always found a way through the maze of their lives. She always had the answers when Max didn't. Now Max knew why. What she didn't know was why Angel had kept this big a deal a secret. Of course she was only a seven year old but still she knew more than most adults. She knew better than that.

"Maybe she was scared."

"Scared of what?"Max asked still getting used to hearing what was so close to Angel's voice.

"She was always different than the rest of the flock. She always had more abilities. You all were always having your minds read by hers. This didn't bother her until I came. She began to see how horrible it was to never have privacy. Slowly Angel began to believe that she was some sort of demon. Not even close to human. If she hadn't died then her heart would have simply stopped."

Max almost fell out of the sky right then and there. Her wings faltered. She dipped about two or three feet. Fang flew next to her keeping his wings in rhythm with hers.

"Is something wrong? Did the voice say something?"Fang said a worried look on his face.

"No…not –sort of."Max said choosing her words carefully. Max didn't want to dig to deep on what was going on in Angel's head right then and there, so soon after her death. Fang nodded. He knew something was up but didn't want to get into it ether. Anything could be troubling Max right now.

About five minutes later a little town cam into sight. It was covered with snow and the roofs were pointed and tall. Children all about thirteen dressed in black cloaks pushed and shoved their way through the crowds of people also dressed in black cloaks.

"What's with the dress code here?" Nudge said looking disappointed. "Those aren't kids from the school are they?"

"They might be." Gazzy said. There was a brief silence.

"I'm not wearing any uniform again."Nudge said in a low grumble.

"Jeb said this school pulled some major strings for us to be here. So we can't complain."Max said to the flock in a motherly tone.

"That doesn't sound like you Max." said the original voice. "Where did the rebellious child go?"Max paused. Where did that fire go? That will to fight to protect? Had it died with Angel?

The flock came over a hill and saw a broken down old shack. A singe hung on the door. It read DO NOT ENTER. In big red faded letters.

"Please tell me this isn't our school!" cried Nudge.

"I thought Jeb said this school was high tech?" The Gazzy said.

"Is something wrong?"asked Iggy.

"Yep." said Max. "Ether this school is a dump, we got the wrong directions, or this school is really good."….

The flock landed on mushy swamp like ground. The door to the "school" was what you know, locked. Max then tried to kick the door in but only came up with a dent in the door. Then Gazzy saw a hole in the rotting wood. Quickly he tried to peek through but found that no matter how he looked the wood would always slide in front of his eyes.

"Hay Max I found a hole in the wood!" Gazzy yelled. Max who had been trying to kick through the door once again walked over to Gazzy,

"You found something?" Max asked

"Ya… there's a hole here …but I can't look through it."

"What do you mean?" said Max back as she looked through the hole. Then suddenly the wood seemed to shimmer in front of Max's eyes. Max stood straight instead of crouching. She went over to another hole and looked through. The same thing happened. The wood just appeared before her blocking her view. Max tried again, and again, and again. Then finely she screamed in frustration, just as the rotting door that Max had tried to kick in, opened.
