Fang POV

Fang's Blog- January 15 (at least I think it is), 2008.

Okay, this might come as a shock to you, but I was actually really sad about losing Gazzy. Shocker, isn't it? I know I'm not the guy who's going to break down crying, but hey, I'd loved the kid, like a brother. I mean, come on! You'd be sad too. Max and Iggy didn't take it so well. Iggy hasn't talked since Gazzy died, and Max…well…she kind of walked off screaming and crying, punching trees. She's not really that kind of girl, but Gazzy had been important to Max, and well, it adds up, okay! I'm not used to confessing emotions about myself and my friends like this! Cut me some slack!

Anyway, Max has yet to return.


I sighed, shutting the laptop. I'd forgotten completely about it, considering how we've been…you know, lost and all. What I'd written in my blog was true. I was really sad about losing Gazzy. More sad than you'll ever know. But like I was going to show it. I mean, it's kind of hard to explain. But it's not that hard to understand. You know? Because, I mean, come on! I'm me, and I don't usually show emotion. Comprende? Anyway, Iggy and I are sitting at the base of this giant Oak tree we found, waiting for Max to come back. If I knew Max, it might be a pretty long wait. We'll just have to wait and see.

Max POV

I ran through the woods, running as fast as my mutant lungs would allow. My heart rate had sky rocketed long ago, and my lungs ached for air. Tears blinded my vision, adding to the fact that it was dark, so I had my hands outstretched in front of me, whipping aside any undergrowth that got in my way. Why had Gazzy had to die? He was just a little kid, living a living Hell all his life! Tortured, vomiting, pain, every bad thing that could happen to a person happened to Gazzy in eight years! Why? WHY!
I found myself screaming to the heavens. WHY! Anger overwhelmed me, and tears were all that I could see. Skidding to a halt, I clenched my hand in a fist and punched the nearest tree. Again, and again I punched it with just that one hand, oblivious to the bloody knuckles and the pain. I began beating the crap out of the tree, as though blaming it for Gazzy's death. I kicked it and punched it and screamed at it, grief and pain fueling my anger. Eventually, I stopped, breathing heavily. If my wing weren't broken, then I would have flown through the night sky, letting the natural wonderful feeling of flying soothe my anger and grief. I felt as though I'd lost half of me, and the fact that this situation totally sucked only threw salt onto the wound. God. With despair and grief washing over me with every beat of my heart, I sunk to the ground, curling up in a ball, placing my head on my arms.

Take deep, even breaths Max. Aw, great, just what I need: Jeb nagging on me. Shut up Jeb, I'm not in the mood I snapped. Just recently, I'd found out that Jeb was the voice in my head, and my dad. And Dr. Martinez was actually my mom. I'd been so happy when I'd found out. Dr. Martinez had always been my perfect image of a mom. Sometimes, it seemed too good to be true……

You need to calm down Max, Jeb continued. You're never going to get anywhere if you just sit here and feel sorry for yourself. Oh, so now you're a therapist? I asked cheekily. Well let me tell you something, Dad, I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm feeling sorry for Gazzy, because a) HE DIED and b) He lived an awful, horror filled life, full of nothing but torture, pain, running, and all that jazz. Got it? Jeb sighed. You're such a wonderful person, Max Jeb said.

Right, like I'm going to fall for that.

Max, get a move on. You're so close to a place that you've been to before. Hooh, Deja Vu much? Jeb sighed. Max! You're right next to Dr. Martinez's house!

Angel POV

Oh my gosh, my head hurt! I felt as though I'd just gotten hit by a big semi truck, and then run over. Why was I hurting so badly? And why could I smell this hospital-like smell? Why did I feel cold metal beneath me, and why did I feel so cramped? Wait a minute…

Sitting bolt upright, I smashed my head on the dog crate. Ow, that had only hurt like freaking heck! Sitting up straight as I could, I peered out of the side of my crate.

I felt my blue eyes grow large as I stared at the three people slowly making their way toward me. Well, actually it was only Jeb that was walking toward me, but there was also a lady and a man that I didn't recognize. For some reason, the man reminded me of someone….. "Angel" Jeb said, crouching down and peering into my crate. "Hi sweetie, how are you doing?" Oh, you mean besides being hungry, locked in a crate, and back in a place that I positively hate? Nah, I'm fine. Jeb's eyes searched my face for any signs of distress. Yeah, like I'm not distressed. I tried to read Jeb's thoughts, but as always, got nothing. Why was this happening! Why was I back at the school, and why could I not read Jeb's thoughts?

"I know what you're thinking, Angel" Jeb said, locking his eyes onto mine. "And everything will be alright soon. I promise". Right, like I can trust anything you say. Jeb stood up, and walked over to the man and lady. The man looked so familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on who he reminded me of. It was just the way he walked with that slight bend to his position, or how he shuffled along with his hands in his black jean pockets. Or maybe it was how his black hair was all messy like that…..oh gosh, hang on a minute! He reminded me of Fang!

As my brain tried to connect this, I heard Jeb's conversation with the two strangers. "So that's the littlest one?" the man asked, nodding toward me, acting as though I couldn't hear what he was saying. Jeb nodded. "Her name is Angel" Jeb replied. The woman snorted. She seemed to have something against the man, because she was staying as far away from him as humanely possible. And she kept shooting him dirty looks, that clearly said Come anywhere near me and I'll kill you.Weird. Jeb turned on the woman, looking angry. "And what's that supposed to mean!" he demanded. "She's an it" the woman said, icicles dripping off of her voice. "And it's name is not 'Angel'. It is named Subject 11, and if you have a problem with that, you can answer straightly to the director." Jeb's face went as red as a cheery, same with mine. I'm not an it! "She's not an it!" Jeb shouted, seeming to have read my mind and practically screaming. The man held up his hands in a calm down sign. Some of the redness drained from Jeb's face. He cast a wary look at me, fully knowing that I could hear. "Let's talk about this later" Jeb mumbled. "Wait a sec" the man said. He nudged the cage two down from me with his foot. "Is this him?" I nearly gasped. Fang!

Jeb nodded. "Yep" he said shortly. As I looked from Fang to the man, I could see the resemblance. Messy black hair, silent (like a shadow), black ensemble, even the same nose. The only difference was their eyes. The man had deep green eyes, and Fang had dark ones. Except, Fang was knocked out, so I couldn't tell that difference right then. The man grunted, and walked out of the room, Jeb and the lady following behind him, arguing quietly.

I pursed my lips, and looked around. Now that I wasn't concentrating on Jeb, I could see that the flock was in cages too. Next to me, to my right, was Gazzy, sleeping soundly. Two cages down to my left was Fang. Across from me was Iggy, knocked out too, and then to his left was Nudge, also knocked out. But the cage next to me to my left was empty. And as I looked around, I could see that Max was no where in site. The whitecoats must have her someplace.

Hey, just because I'm six, doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Sighing, I curled up in a ball at the very back of my cage. I let out a small whimper. Please Max, come back soon.


Wow, that's another chapter up. Please R&R. Let me know if I should continue with the story (I'm so sorry it sucks!). I'll update soon.
