Hey. Thank you so much to the couple of people who reviewed! If I Get 4 or more reviews on this chapter tonight I'll update tomorrow, so…
Onwards!
Jason POV.
He was so scared. He was lost, had accidentally gone too far from Max and the other two and now he was lost.
He was so cold.
He hadn't meant to go away from Max.
When her friends had come to get her, he was so happy, because she had promised she'd take him away from this horrible place.
But when She'd gone up to that mean man and burnt him, he had seen a weird light in her eyes. They were normally dark brown, but in that instant he'd seen flames dancing in them. There had been a feral rage in her eyes, a look of pure anger, and he'd gotten so scared.
Nobody saw him go. Max's two friends had been watching Max in shock, so nobody noticed when he'd backed down the corridor. He'd run. He didn't know where he was going, but he was so scared.
Just a quick Authors note: Jason is Gazzy's age, but Jason wasn't used to this life, he was taken from his parents. So that's why it sounds like he's younger.
Now he didn't know what to do. He was in one of the rooms that had a big metal table. He was sitting in the corner with his chin resting on his knees and his hands around his legs, in a sort of foetal position.
Now he collected his thoughts and stood up. He went up to the table, and recoiled with horror after seeing that it had blood on it.
He felt funny. The other day the scientists had experimented on him even more. He had no clue what they did, because he passed out in fright when the man had brought out a giant scalpel, the bright lights reflecting off of the blade, making it shine.
But all of a sudden, he had the biggest headache. The most painful headache that he'd ever had. It was even worse than that one time when he'd had the flu, before he'd been taken, and his mum had sat up with him all night, reading his stories to make him feel better.
Now it was unbearable. He clutched his head and dropped to the ground howling in pain. Authors note: No, it's not one of Max's brain attacks from the first book.
Tears poured down his face as the pain dragged on, and then it was gone. It didn't fade away, it just disappeared as quickly as it had come.
He opened his eyes slowly, expecting it to start again as soon as he opened his eyes. He stood up gradually and carefully, not wanting to set it off again.
He felt something behind him. Sensed something. He felt weird, like his brain was working on a whole new level. Like he could see and hear things he'd never seen or heard before.
He turned his head slowly to see a shadowy figure standing in the corner of the room. He was a little frightened, but he knew that it didn't want to hurt him.
"I can show you the way out." The voice echoed, clearly a girl's.
"C-can you?" He stuttered.
Suddenly the figure went from a shadow to a slightly transparent figure of a girl, about Max's age. A/N: Can you guess who it is?
She nodded, and extended her wings.
Max POV.
I woke up slowly. I had an awful headache, and my shoulder and my foot throbbed unbearably in sync.
Great. Bloody great. I thought to myself as I opened my eyes. I was in a cave, and I was getting a strong sense of déjà vu. I felt to weak to even lift my head to look around, but I sensed I'd been here before. Suddenly Fang popped up into my field of vision, looking concerned and worried.
"Max, are you ok?"
"Fine." I said. It shocked me how weak I sounded. What was wrong with me?
"Eat this." He said, pulling of….wait…
"Is that my Knapsack?" I croaked.
He opened it and nodded without looking at me, pulling a few wrapped packages out of it.
He unwrapped them and I gasped. "Kebabs? Where the hell did you find Kebabs?"
He smirked. "Same as last time."
I was sick of being confused now. "Where the hell are we?"
"Where we first flew with the Hawks, not too far from Dr Martinez's house." He said, and it all came rushing back to me.
"Oh my god Fang, how are the flock are they ok? Where are they? do they know you and Iggy left? Are they-"
He held up one hand, making me stop.
"Max, calm down, they're fine!" He smirked. "You turned into Nudge for a second."
He pushed the Kebabs at me.
"Eat."
"I'm not hungry."
He looked shocked. "That's the first time I've ever heard you say that. What's wrong? Is it your shoulder?"
I nodded. "I feel all weak and fluey and headachy." I said, closing my eyes briefly.
I heard rustling and opened them to see Fang rooting through my pack.
"What are you doing?"
He looked up as he pulled out what looked like my first aid kit.
"I need to clean you up." He said, shuffling closer to me (He'd been kneeling.)
He helped me sit up and propped me up against the wall, and then pulled my shirt off my shoulder.
I sucked in a quick breath through my teeth as I saw the mess that was the bullet wound. Believe me, you don't want to know what it looks like.
As he wiped away dirt gently, I had to clench my fists hard to stop myself from screaming.
It was a horrible ordeal, and by the time he put on a bandage, I couldn't stop myself from yelling out in pain.
He brushed my hair out of my face with his hand.
"Look at me Max." I opened my eyes and looked into his dark ones. "You can do this. You'll be fine, but I need to do this or you'll get so much worse." He said, and I nodded.
By the time he'd bandaged my wounded foot as well, I was so exhausted I was half asleep. I slowly unclenched my fists and opened my palms to see my hands were covered in blood, and my fingernails had cut deep into my palm.
I slid down the cave wall and closed my eyes.
I felt his hand on my non-wounded shoulder.
"Sleep Max. I'll watch over you. I'll protect you. I won't let them take you again."
Before I could reply, I was asleep.

Thank you so much for reading this guys, I really appreciate it.
