I am not sure if this is the last chapter, but I think that I mite add an epilogue at the end, just to finish it off. Since I haven't updated in so long, and the fact that it is my last chapter, I have made this my longest chapter yet at almost 4,000 words! WOOHOO! I am sooooo special!

I hope that u enjoy the end!
Alrighty guys, on with one of the final chapters!
Max POV
We landed – not so gracefully – in the forest a few minutes later and I looked at my Flock.
"How are we all doing?" I asked.
"I think that my wrist is broken and I have a few scratches but I'm alright," said Gazzy, nursing his wrist in his other hand.
"I'm alright," said Angel with a smile that made my heart melt. I smiled back at her. "But, I cut my arm on a piece of metal from one of the Flyboys," she said as she showed me her arm. It wasn't that bad, but I would need to stop the bleeding soon. She also had a few cuts and grazes on her face, but they would heal fast.
I turned to Iggy who looked even paler than usual, if possible. He didn't say anything, just lifted up the bottom of his jeans to reveal a gash in his knee. The cut from the bullet must have reopened in the fight. It was about ten centimetres long and was dripping blood. His arm was also still bleeding and he was losing blood fast.
And as for me, I had a headache and my shoulder was sore and swollen and needed to be popped back in place before I could help the others in any way.
"Okay guys," I said ready to take charge. "Iggy, you pop my shoulder back into place and then we'll clean you up first before you faint from loos of blood. Then we'll work on Angel and Gazzy."
He nodded in agreement, before slowly limping a few steps over to me. I turned around and let him run his fingers lightly over my swollen shoulder before he got a good grip on my arm and quickly moved it into place. I cringed before I heard my shoulder make a 'click' noise. I sighed as the pain melted away and I turned to face him.
"Thanks, do you have any bandages?" I asked.
"In Angels pack," he said between clenched teeth.
Angel slipped her pack off her back and searched through it before handing me a roll of bandages.
"Sit down," I told him quietly and he did what he was told. Angel and Gazzy came over and sat down next to us and watched.
As I started to do his knee he started a conversation.
"Max, you never did tell us how you are, um, here." He said quietly leaning back on his hands. I took in a breath as I told them my tale, and I ended it with me and Gazzy finding that Iggy and Angel were in the building, not bothering to go over today's events. When I had finished I had just about done with Iggy and I moved onto Angel.
"Gaz, come over here and I'll fix your arm." Iggy said, motioning Gazzy over with his good arm.
Without standing, Gazzy shuffled over and knelt down next to Iggy. The kid didn't even wince as Iggy carefully repositioned the bones and bound it nice and tight with a bandage from his pack. He then made a sling out of his jacket and sat back on his bottom then seemed to stare at the sky.
I focused on neatly binding Angel's arm with a bandage before standing up.
"You alright Ig?" I asked. He was still looking up slightly and I was wondering what he was thinking about, considering he couldn't actually see anything in that direction.
"I just wish I could see the look on Fang's face when he sees you." He said with a grin on his face.
I chucked a stick and hit him in the forehead.
"Hey," he exclaimed, before throwing it back and hitting me in the forehead, dead centre. Still don't know how he does it.
"Fang missed you Max. We all did," Angel said sweetly wrapping her arms around my waist and smiling up at me.
I smiled back and patted her head making her curls bounce.
"Yeah," Iggy added. "Fang was a wreck without you. I didn't know what to do with him." He said while shaking his head. "I was getting sick of not knowing where he was."
"Hmm, Gazzy told me," I said nodding. "Apparently, you were bumping into things and not paying attention to where you were going 'cause you were thinking of me. That's sooooooooooo sweet, Iggy." I said teasing him. And then he did the most unusual thing.............he went bright red.
I started to laugh. "Hey Ig, if you touch your face you can feel that it's red." I said in between laughter.
By now Angel and Gazzy had joined in, which just made Iggy go redder. He felt around for something to throw at me and found a stick. He threw it at me, but I saw it coming and dodged it, still laughing.
"You missed me," I said teasingly and he then threw a small rock at me, that I didn't see coming, and it hit me in the side of the head.
"Ow," I said as I rubbed my head and I stopped laughing as he smiled.
When the kids had suppressed their giggles I took a deep breath.
"Alright guys, let's go home." I said happily. Everyone got to their feet and one by one we took to the sky.
Nudge POV:
Total and I charged into the kitchen and started to devour those cookies like there was no tomorrow. And the absolute best part was that Dr. Martinez had made chocolate chip cookies, our favourite. Max's favourite.
We made sure that we had some left over for Fang for when he was cleaned up.
Eventually, he came in, collapsed into the chair and joined us in eating the cookies.
"Fang, are you alright? Did Dr. Martinez fix you up? How long do we have to stay here? Can we leave to help Iggy and Angel soon?" I managed in one breath.
He sighed. "I can't fly for one week so, we're stuck here."
Total and I stopped downing cookies and stared at him. He was avoiding our gazes and staring at the table.
"So, what do we do?" I asked quietly, not knowing what to say.
"Wait," he said simply while taking a bite of a cookie.
After that there was silence between us as we ate the mouth watering food. We were stuck here until either Fang's wing got better, or they came back.
Ella came back from school at a quater past three and when she saw us she hugged me.
"I was so worried about you guys! But I am glad that you're back." She said happily.
I quickly explained to her where Iggy and Angel were. She always lets me finish talking even when I ramble, that's what I like about Ella. When I had finished her face went grim.
"Oh, so what are you planning on doing?"
"Staying here, and then going after them when Fang's wing is healed, which will take a week. I think that is a very long time and so does Fang, but we don't have a choice so we have to wait."
She nodded and led me to her room to talk.
Fang POV
After we had finished the cookies, we spent the whole day hanging around the house and doing nothing. I know that it sounds like so much fun, but I wouldn't recommend it.
I hated not being able to do anything to help and not being able to fly. I aimlessly wandered around the house, not knowing what to do. In the end, I settled on sitting on my bed in my room and thought about stuff.
I thought about past events, like Gazzy being taken, me being shot, Iggy and Angel going after Gazzy and about what we were supposed to do now.
I also spent the day thinking about Max. Whenever I did this, I would often space out for hours on end just thinking about her. It kept me sane and defeated boredom.
I knew that Nudge spent the day with Ella because my thoughts would be broken by girlish squeals coming from Ella's room every now and then. And Total was outside with Dr. Martinez, working in the garden, or in his case, marking his territory with Magnolia.
I only came out of my room for lunch and dinner and would go back there afterwards.
Eventually I decided to write my blog:
You are reading Fang's Blog. Welcome!
Today's date: Already too late
You are visitor number: 130,598,009 (It is actually bigger than that, but the counter broke again)
Bad news
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought that I should keep you guys posted on the goings on of the flock.
I know I haven't blogged in a while but there is a very good reason for that let me tell you. I don't really know how to tell you this but, Max is gone. And no, we haven't split up again. The last time we did that, things didn't end up so well. I'll give you a short account on what happened.
Basically, we were surrounded by over two hundred flyboys with guns. We were ready to fight but one of them shot at Angel. Max was next to her, so she did what any good leader would do and jumped in front of the bullet to save her and well..............I don't think that I need to say anymore. *sigh*
So, for the past week we have been hanging around the house (not saying where) and doing nothing, until Gazzy got kidnapped. Iggy Nudge and I went after the truck but I got shot in the wing and knocked unconscious and Iggy got shot in the knee.
They got away.
After we had healed we decided to go after him, so we packed our stuff and took off toward the nearest school.
However after about an hour of flying, my wing gave way and I couldn't fly any further so Iggy and Angel went after Gaz while Nudge, Total and I decided to go back to the house and wait. So, now I am grounded (literally) for a week until my wing has healed and we're stuck here doing nothing. The flock is breaking apart in more ways than one and I am stuck at home, unable to do anything except blog about it, so I hope you people are grateful.
It feels weird with everyone gone. At the moment, there are only three of the flock here; two God knows where, one at the school and one...........dead.
However, we already have it all planned out, we will wait a week and if Iggy and Angel aren't back by then, we will fly to the school and rescue them and Gazzy. I just hope that it won't be too late.
After that, we need to find a way to defeat Itex once and for all so I want you guys to stay on your toes and ready to fight, if necessary.
-Fang

******************************************************************************************************************************
There were lots of comments and I managed to read through most of them all before shutting down my laptop and going to sleep.
In the morning I did the usual; got up, had breakfast, brushed my teeth, checked my blog and started to read more comments. By now, I had over 5000 comments and read through them all. Most of them were about how people were thinking about us and apologising about Max. Some were asking if I was single and if I would start dating soon, so I just skimmed my eyes over them and read the more important ones. People were once again ready to fight and destroy Itex and once we had the Flock together again we would finish what Max had started. We would do it for her.
After I had read all of the comments, it was about twelve o'clock so I went downstairs for lunch. Nudge and Ella were at the table eating and talking happily. Dr. Martinez had said that it was alright for Ella to stay at home to keep us company while she worked. She had been at work a lot the past week. I think that it was a way of distracting herself from everything that had happened. I wish that I could escape too. Normally it would be easier to spread my wings and soar through the air. It was one of the best ways to clear your head and forget about anything that was troubling you. But that option was gone, so I was left with sitting in my room and staring out the window.
I sat down at the table and made a sandwich. I ate in silence while the girls talked and giggled at different things, things that I wasn't interested in.
After lunch I sat on the couch and watched TV for a few hours, flipping through channels when the show that I was watching got boring. I then went back to my favourite past-time, staring out my bedroom window.
Flashback.......
"So, Itex," I said to Max while I folded and unpacked the clothes.
"Yep. Guess who made the laundry detergent? Guess what gas station we stopped at? Guess who made the soda you're drinking?" Max said while she joined me in packing. The Itex symbol was everywhere when you were looking for it.
I looked down at Gazzy's jeans and read the label. I then held them up and showed Max the black label that read 'Itex.'
"This is bad," she said quietly, not wanting the kids to hear.
"You idiot!" Total shouted at the TV. "It's the red one! The red one!"
"They're everywhere alright," she continued. "What's worse is, the more I think about it, the more I remember them being everywhere our whole lives. I remember Angel drinking Itex formula from an Itex bottle, and wearing Itex diapers. It's like they've been taking over the world without anyone noticing it."
"Someone noticed it," I said slowly as I realized something. I finished folding a shirt of Iggy's before I continued.
"Someone at the School noticed it at least fourteen years ago. And built you to try to stop them."
"Built us." She said looking at me with those chocolate rown eyes. I knew that that wasn't true.
"Mostly you. I'm pretty sure that the rest of us are redundant." I said sounding matter-of-fact.
"You're not redundant to me," she said as she stuffed some shorts into a backpack.
I gave her a smile as she said that.
End Flashback......
It didn't matter how unimportant we were to the school, Max always made us feel important. She always made it seem like we were needed for her to survive and vice versa. The flock needed her and without her.........we fall apart. I have witnessed it first hand and now we are all split up into three groups, not knowing if we will ever be together again.
By about seven o'clock, I was surfing the web, trying to find out as much information that I could on Itex, when I heard the door open. My fingers froze and were poised over the keyboard as I listened carefully. I heard hurried footsteps come down the hall and then my door flew open. And there stood a very excited looking Iggy and Angel. Angel came running over to me and threw her small arms around my neck.
"Fang, come outside now! You have to see this!" She said, sounding like she could hardly contain her excitement any longer.
"What is it? Did you get Gazzy?" I asked feeling confused.
"Of course we got Gaz," Iggy said from the doorway. He looked a little bit bloody and pale as he leaned against the doorframe. "Come on, get out of bed and come outside. NOW!"
He carefully limped down the hall. "NUDGE! ELLA! Come outside, we have something to show you!" He shouted and then headed towards the door.
Angel took my hand and started to tug at it. I pulled my hand back and put my laptop on my bed as I got up and followed Angel out the door. We were in single file down the hall, Nudge in front, followed by Ella, then Angel and then me. I didn't know what all of the commotion was about, but I knew that I would soon find out.
When Ella and Nudge reached the door, they instantly froze as if there was a wall blocking it. They looked like they had just seen a ghost and they stood there in place not moving, until Nudge screamed. She and Ella rushed outside so fast that I didn't have a chance to take anything in.
Angel took my hand and pulled me towards the door. When I got there I stood and looked outside. Iggy and Gazzy were off to the side talking excitedly to one another but stopped when they saw me and went still. I looked to the left of them and saw Nudge and Ella hugging someone, someone with dark blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes, someone that I had lived with all my life, my best friend and the girl that I loved.
Max.
Nudge was balling her eyes out and was hugging her tightly, looking like she didn't want to let go. Max whispered something into her ear and she nodded and let go. She and Ella moved out of the way so that Max could see me. She stood there and stared at me with a smile on her tearstained face.
"But how...." Was all I could manage, but Angel picked up on what I meant.
"It was a clone, Fang. This is the real Max." She said with a smile.
I let go of Angels hand and opened up my arms, as a gesture for a hug. She took a look at me before running across the grass and threw herself into my arms. I held her tight, not wanting to let her go, ever. I gently stroked her hair with my hand, unable to believe that she was actually here with me. After a few minutes, we pulled away and I looked into her amazing brown eyes. It was all there in her gaze; happiness, disbelief, excitement, love. I could spend a lifetime looking into those eyes. Our gazes were locked and, to us, nothing else existed. The only thing that was real, was each other. I kept looking in her eyes, not wanting to look away. There was something that I needed to tell her, something that I had'nt had the chance to do before I almost lost her. I brushed some of her hair off her face with my hand.
"I love you," I whispered so quietly that only she could hear.
She seemed shocked at first, but then she slowly leaned in and kissed me. I moved my hands around her waist and she tangled hers in my hair. I tilted my head to kiss her more deeply and enjoyed the fact that she was here. It was one of the best moments of my life, just knowing that she was alive. I loved the feeling that I always got when I was with her and I knew that we would never be apart again.
When we finally pulled away I wrapped her into a tight hug again.
"I love you too, Fang." She whispered in my ear.
Eventually the flock made their way over and joined us. A complete flock hug. We were all together and nothing could ruin this moment.
We were whole again.
Far away – Nickelback
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
And there you have it! Sorry about the song at the end, but I just had to put it in because it reminded me so much of this fanfic!
