I want to specially thank LovelyNBlue for posting a question for Ember's blog and giving me my idea for how Ember is going to find Fang's blog.
IMPORTANT: I was thinking of giving Ember the ability to heal herself and other people so that she can give Iggy his sight back. Tell me in reviews whether you want this to happen or not because if no one tells me I will pick for myself.
Just a heads up in case you were wondering in my story Ari is dead and Jeb is living with Dr. Martinez trying to regain more of the trust he used to have with them. Ari is dead because they never revived him after Max killed him in The Angel Experiment. Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports never happened, yet. On with chapter 4. ENJOY!

Hey, loyal readers! The one and only Ember has a bit of exciting news. I have finally, after three months of searching found Fang and the Flock! Well, it wasn't really me but a blog reader found another blog that Fang made about the Flock and him. The last time he updated was from a forest outside of Virginia after what happened there with Anne. It's hard to believe I can actually pinpoint where they are by using his blog. I think it is actually funny that both of us started blogs considering that we are brother and sister. We must really think alike. I am currently in North Carolina and making my way into Virginia. I hope I can reach that general area before they take off somewhere else. Thank you to all of you out there who are supporting me and check out Fang's blog as well if you did not already know about it. With both Fang and me writing about our experiences, we might actually be able to make a difference in the world and for all of the experiments still contained at the School. Below are the answers to the questions fans have been sending me and replies to comments I have been getting.
Fly on,
Ember

Hey, I found Fang! He is writing a blog too and he is currently outside of Virginia! I hope you can find him soon. Know I can read both of your blogs! What is it like having a photographic memory?
LovelyNBlue, thank you so much I was not having much luck trying to locate him because my plan of action was simply fly around and hope I can find something. You are amazing and if I am ever around Houston, hopefully with the Flock, I will personally visit you to say thank you! Having a photographic memory is actually really cool! I just remember everything I see, hear or learn how to do forever and I only have to see or hear it once. It works out really well when I am reading important information or learning a useful skill like hacking.

WOW! I would love to be able to fly! It sounds so amazing! I hate those people at the School for what they did though and as much as I would like to fly, I would never want to go through what you did. My mom works for the government, I showed the site to her and she said she would try to have research done on the topic. It would be great if we could shut these guys down!
BellaRide28, I appreciate what your mom is doing and I would defiantly like to stop the School from causing anymore harm. As for the wings, the feeling of flying is amazing but I have weighed out the options in my head and I don't know if I would trade my wings for a normal life because in a way my wings are a part of me. Although, I would never go through having to live at the School ever again and I would not wish that kind of life on anybody.

I shut down my laptop and picked myself up off the moss at the bass of the tree I was sitting under ready for another long hard day of flying. Doing the math in my head I figured that if I flew all day with only short stops I would arrive in the forest the Flock was in by nightfall. The difficult part would be searching through an entire forest to find them and wondering if they were still there or if they had already flew off to a different location.
For the past three months, I have not seen a single Eraser. It is a huge relief not being chased by those ugly things. I only have two theories as to why they are not chasing me either they can not find me because they never thought to install a tracking device in me or they are more interested in the Flock because they can capture six experiments together instead of only getting one. Either way I am not complaining because having mutant wolves on my tail would not make finding Fang any easier.
It was pitch black when I landed in the overgrown forest where the Flock was. I found a small open clearing and decided to stay there for the night. I would begin searching for the Flock in the morning when the sky was bright and I had a better chance of locating them. Overcome by exhaustion from flying all day a rested my back against the trunk of a nearby tree and instantly fell asleep.
I woke up just as the sky began turning shades of orange, pink and purple while the sun came into view over the horizon. I walked towards the center of the clearing and just before I was about to take off from the ground twenty Erasers encircled me.
"I thought you had given up," I said cockily. First rule of combat never show fear because although I sounded confident my heart was pounding in my chest. Twenty Erasers was too many for me to take on alone especially since they had me surrounded.
Without a second thought, all of the Erasers charged at once. My hands and feet moved fast punching and kicking whatever I could reach. One Eraser clopped me hard on the head causing my vision to turn black and before I could regain my composure, I was slammed hard in the stomach with a big black boot. My breathe left me in a gush of air and I sake to my knees clutching my bruised stomach.
"What is going on," I heard a young girl ask in the distance.
"Shush, be quiet. Do you want them to know we are here," replied a second voice of an older female. All of the Erasers turned their heads towards the sound of the newcomers and immediately started walking towards them, leaving me panting on the ground.
"Too, late for that," came the sarcastic reply of a boy.
I turned around to see what was going on just as six kids rushed the Erasers and started fighting them off with a fierce determination. I watched as the scene unfolded my eyes wide as saucers when the smallest girl started laughing as one of the Erasers that was fighting her started attacking its companions. Clearly outmatched the Erasers took to the air and began flying back to the School.
I was still panting when they began walking towards me with the two older boys flanking the older girl and standing in front of the three younger children. The three older kids looked about my age and the three younger kids were defiantly a few years younger than I was.
My vision began to cloud as they walked closer and I could feel my head start to throb. I could feel myself falling to the ground and I landed hard on my left side. I could still hear their voices as I began to fall into unconsciousness though I could not distinguish if they belonged to the older or younger kids in the group.
"Oh no, she's hurt Iggy help her."
"Angel we have no idea who she is."
"Max she won't hurt us her mind is set on finding someone. I just can't tell who it is."
"I wonder if she's friendly, and why the Erasers were after her. She looks normal to me. Maybe she could…"
"Nudge, quiet!"
"Sorry, Max."
"Okay, fine help her, but when she wakes up she better answer all of our questions and answer them truthfully cause if she doesn't we ditch her, understood."
That was all I heard before the blackness over took me and I was floating in a place beyond all reason and knowledge.
Okay everyone, please review and tell me what you think. Next chapter she will officially meet the Flock. If there is a certain time when you want me to write a blog entry for Ember tell me and I will. Till the next chapter!
