Hey all you people out there who I know LOVE my story. I have a bit of info for ya. A whole 36 people have read my story. And that makes me very happy :) But you know how many reviews I have so far? 2. Yeah. So, for my sanity, PLEASE REVIEW! If you don't, I just might have to die. :( Anyways, here's Chapter 6! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Do I really have to say anything? No. No I do not.

Max POV

I felt a hand on my shoulder and nearly screamed in frustration. How many times have I tried to get past the Threat? Quite a few. How many times had she stopped me? Don't even ask. How close was I to punching something really hard? Not far.

Defeated for the billionth time, I stomped to the back of the cave with Fang, who was in a less dramatic state of frustration. On his first-and last-attempt to get past her, he had turned invisible and slowly crept along the cave wall, only to be stopped by miss I-can-catch-people-with-my-eyes-closed. I watched as the Threat sat cross-legged on the cave floor. Yeah. Not only did she have her eyes closed, but she was sitting down. Which only made me more determined to find a way out. This wasn't the case with Iggy, who, after 5 failed attempts, sat down an moped, mumbling about wanting to blow something up. Gazzy and Nudge were huddled together, trying to come up with a plan, and Angel had been staring intently at the Threat for a solid 20 minutes, doing God knows what.

We'd been at it for at least an hour. Nobody had made it though.

Frustrated? Me? Nah.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gazzy smile evilly and nod. Never a good sign. Unless you were trying to get past a creepily-talented bird-kid. As soon as they un-huddled, the Threat's face took on a look of concern.

"Please tell me one of you guys has a gas mask," she said, and Gazzy's mouth fell open.

"How'd you know our plan?" he whined.

The Threat hesitated. "I just...knew. Kinda like a metaphorical voice in the back of my head, except a lot more reliable." I snorted. Anybody see the irony there? Just me?

"She knows everything!" Skye squeaked.

"Skye..." the Threat warned.

"But your power is limited by what you've seen," she recited, sounding like she was reading out of a textbook.

"Exactly," the Threat said, open her eyes

Something clicked. "Is that why you're always finding caves and stuff?" I asked bluntly.

"Yes."

"That's impossible," Iggy said, and the Threat blinked. "If your power is limited by what you've experienced, then you would have had to cover this entire area beforehand."

"No," the Threat began slowly. "If I ask myself, 'Is there a cave down there?' What are the possible answers?"

"Yes and no," he answered automatically.

"Now if i asked, 'Where's a good cave?' the possibilities are endless." Iggy nodded slowly, the way he did when we were discussing complex battle strategies. Or bombs. Same difference. "Back to my first question," she continued. "I've heard of caves, I've heard of yes, and I've definitely heard of no. So I'm all set."

"So can you only ask yes or no questions?" Gazzy asked, his brilliant, flatulence-filled plan forgotten.

"No, I just have to have limited options."

"Then how'd you find Skye?" asked Nudge. "Cause she could've been anywhere in the whole cave. But you found her! And I think that's really weird, cause you just said that you had to have limi-fif fo-" Her blabbering stopped as Iggy put his hand over her mouth. I sent him a grateful look. Bless that child.

"She's my little sister. I know her better than almost everybody in the whole world."

Fang looked up. "Almost everybody?"

I expected her to laugh it off and lie again, but instead, she stiffened up. Her face turned into a stone mask, and her eyes went dead. "Yes," she murmured stiffly, doing a stunning impression of a statue. "Almost everybody."

"Who?" asked Nudge, obviously not picking up the tension in the room. Or cave. The Threat was silent.

"Jack," I heard Angel mumble, and Skye suddenly burst into tears. The Threat just stood there. And to be honest, I almost didn't recognize her. A deep sadness had replaced her smile, and she looked empty. Dead.

Like how I felt when Fang left the flock.

A surge of pity went through me, but before I could act on it, she turned towards the mouth of the cave. "The game is over," she said quietly. "You can teach me when I get back." At that, she flew off into the setting sun.

How cliche.

Yay! Hope you liked it! Sorry it was so short...but at least you know what her power is. There will be FAX. I promise. And don't forget about my sanity :) REVIEW!
