I'm glad I don't write like a second grader! And since you guys gave me review love, I typed this fast or else I would feel guilty… ;) enjoy!

Chapter 5

"You sick sonnofabitch." Max snarled at Jeb.

"But… it can't be." Ben stuttered horrified, appalled, and devastated all at the same time.

"How the hell could you do that to them?" screamed Jamie through her sobs.

"I know it was resorting to extreme measures, but it seemed that you need proper persuasion and a warning if you tried to escape or other." Jeb replied, unfazed by the fury of the three high schoolers. "I truly am sorry."

"No you aren't!" Ben shouted, snapping out of his depression shield. "You probably enjoyed this you sick bastard. You do this for a living! If you were sorry you would change them back! Or whatever would give me my brother back!"

"And my friend!" Shrieked Jamie

"And my roommate!" Max screamed. Jeb looked moderately shocked at Ben's outburst. He turned to face the figures behind him. The person in front looked male through his wolf face.

"Who, me?" said the eraser in front "I used to be your brother Ben. I used to be pathetic, nerdy Nate. Now? Now I am brilliant. I can destroy the world. And kill your girlfriend." He jerked his head at Jamie.

The female eraser on his right laughed mercilessly. "Poor, pathetic Jamie. Made friends with freaks, and then fell in love with one."

"Please Rose." Jamie begged "I know there is a little part of you in there."

"Oh please." Rose scoffed "I am Rose. I am amazing, and eternal. I am the new generation of Eraser."

"We are forever. We burn from the inside out. We had emotions and opinions. We are ten times more deadly than any Eraser you have ever seen before Maximum Ride." stated the other female. "Yeah, before you can start. The Brittany you knew is dead and gone. But I have risen. I am better than her. Stop gibbering."

Max glared at the used-to-be-Brittany.

"And now, your friends have chance to be just like us." Brittany smiled.

Fang and flock landed in front of the school. They stared at the half graffiti, half brick walled school. The school looked like it might have been white brick at a time. Now, graffiti covered half and weather had worn away the paint on the other side. There was beautiful green grass surrounding it though. Fang motioned for the others to stay hidden. He moved forward to scout the area. Moving forward he saw that the doors were covered. Slipping back he whispered to Angel, "Hey Angel, can you read the erasers minds? I need a weak point to break in." Angel nodded and closed her eyes.

"The weakest point is the window leading into the office…" Angel whispered. Then, she jerked forward. Images flashed in front of her eyes.

Max, sobbing in a dark, dank room.

Jamie, convulsing while strapped to a table.

A boy sobbing in the corner, while an Eraser laughed at Jamie twitching.

Angel looked up at Fang, her eyes shining in emotion. "They are hurting people. We have to go now. Please Fang."

"Take them." She said, motioning at Jamie and Ben. Nate and Rose moved forward.

"NO!" screamed Max, straining against her ropes. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Max was terrified. She pulled and screamed, begged and pleaded, but Nate grabbed Jamie and Rose grabbed Ben.

And then, they exited the basement, leaving a broken and sobbing Max behind.

Oookkaaayyyy…. Essentially a depressing chapter. And even more depressing cliffy, but I love it. I'm sorry it's so short~! I just didn't have time to write that much. Blame it on Social Studies! :)
