Chapter two again. This one had a few grammatical mistakes (and I won't be surprised if there's a few more) and I just spaced it out better. I also changed who spoke at the end, it was originally the hunter but now it's our favourite snicker's bar loving white-coat ;)

When I woke up, I was alone. Again. I think I'm starting to get used to the feeling now. I took in my surroundings: a bed, wardrobe and cheap curtains blocking off the balcony. Yep, definitely a hotel. "Max, you're awake!" a voice right behind me exclaimed. I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Fang!" I pulled him into a massive hug. I could never be angry with him, even after he left me three years ago. In fact, I was glad he left, so she wouldn't get him, too. "I love you, Fang," I mumbled into his shirt. That seemed to surprise him into silence, but I guess that isn't so unusual for him.

"Love you too, Max," he finally said.

We stayed like that for a while, hugging, glad that we were both alive. Eventually, much to my dismay, we had to back away from each other so we could eat. I never let him go, though, always holding onto his hand. We wandered into the kitchenette and started making breakfast. Well, Fang started making breakfast. My cooking skills haven't improved over the years.

For the first time, I took in Fang's appearance. Fang was HOT. I mean, he was hot before he left, but now he was even HOTTER, if that was even possible. He was more muscular (man, did this boy have abs!), his black hair was messy and sticking out everywhere and his dark eyes were orbs I could get lost in. Now I had Fang back, I didn't feel quite so alone. Still, thinking of the flock still brought a tear to my eye. Damn! There it is...I wiped it away before Fang could see. "So you heard about the flock, huh?" I asked, my heart clenching.

Fang looked up from the food he was preparing and nodded darkly. "She took my flock, before she went after you," he said. Ok, now I'm curious.

"You had a flock?"

"Yeah, but not all were human/avian hybrids like us. I had five in total, not including me. First she killed Tyler, my right-wing-girl. She was a human/avian hybrid, but she was four percent bird, rather than two. Next she took Radar. He was a human/hyena hybrid that had a power that could tell when an enemy was drawing closer. After that, she took Nakita, or Kitty, as she preferred to be called. She was a human/lion hybrid. Then she killed Theo. He was just an enhanced human, but he seemed to bring the rest of us together. Lastly," Fang took a deep breath, closed his eyes and he clenched his jaw. I could tell he was trying not to cry, so I walked over to him and put my arms around his waist. "Lastly she took Faith. Faith was a...experiment. I found her just after I left the flock, at a base of Itex. She was a couple of months old when I found her. I grabbed her, and her information file. Faith was my favourite. What really breaks my heart is that she never got to meet her mommy before she died. I stayed with her until the end."

Wow, that is really sad. "I'm sorry Fang. Faith sounded like a sweet kid. But do you think her mommy would love her? After all, she was an experiment."

Fang's eyes bored right into mine. "Trust me, her mommy would love her to death, and she wouldn't care she was a mutant."

"But how are you so sure?"

"I know because I know you, Max. You would have loved her, and she would've loved you."

I froze. "Sh-she was my daughter?"

"As I said, she was an experiment. They combined some of your DNA and some of my DNA and saw what happened."

Hang on, Fang's DNA? That would've made him her father? My eyes started leaking, with what appeared to be water. I refused to admit I was crying. So not only has that stupid hunter taken my flock away, she also took my DAUGHTER! That bitch is going down.

I looked up at Fang with blurry eyes. His jaw was tight and I could tell he was fighting back tears. At least we still had each other.

Suddenly my left wing felt like it was zapped with a Taser. I whimpered and Fang immediately tightened his hold on me.

"What's wrong?"

"My wing," I whimpered. Before, I noticed that he had taken the bullet out and set my bone right. My wing was fully healed, so why was it acting up now? I slowly unfurled it. My breath caught in my throat as I caught sight of my primary feathers (you know, the big ones on the end that pretty much do all the flying). They were clear. As in they were no longer dark brown, they had no colour at all, not even white. You could see right through them. Fang said a few four-letter bad words.

"Yep, that pretty much sums up this whole situation," I said. My wing felt numb. It felt really weird: one wing felt perfectly fine, but the other I couldn't feel. It made me feel strangely lopsided.

In the minute that followed, feeling returned to my wing. The colour also returned. The catch? The colour wasn't what it originally was. Fang and I watched in fascination as colour returned. Now my primary feather colours went like this: a single white feather, whiter than any white I have ever seen; a sandy feather; a tawny feather; a strawberry-blonde feather; a dirty-blonde feather and a silver feather. All the colours seemed really familiar, except for the last one.

"Max, it's the colours of the flocks' feathers!" Fang gasped. He was right, except for one though.

"What about the silver one?" I asked. He smiled at me, his eyes shining.

"Faith had beautiful silver-black wings," he explained. OMF (oh my fnick)! Hey Max! This time, I really jumped out of my skin. Well, not really, but I did jump pretty high.

Angel?

Hey what about me! And Iggy, Nudge, Dylan and Faith!

Gazzy, you too? Hang on, Faith? Ok, normally I don't mess with voices in my head, but they sounded so much like the flock, it wasn't funny.

Yeah Max, we all live on in you! Don't worry, everything will work out in the end!

"Max, are you ok?" Fang asked. I held up a finger to silence him.

So what was with the freaky feather thing?

It was so you could remember us, mommy.

Aw, hello Faith. But I could never forget any of you!

Ooh, I can't wait for what happens next! Angel sang, in my head.

Well, you've got us and our wings, so what else do you think you've inherited?

"Powers," I whispered out loud. Fang gave me a questioning look. "They're here, the voice is right. They do live on inside of me," I elaborated.

"How?"

"I don't know. All I know is that they're in my head, having a life in the confines of my brain. The only bad thing is that I now have seven voices in my head, instead of one," I continued.

"Seven?"

"The voice, the flock and...Faith. I can hear her Fang." Fang looked at me, his beautiful midnight eyes filling with tears. I pulled him into another hug. Eventually I took his face into my hands, and connected my lips with his. That kiss was the most wonderful feeling on the planet. We rolled onto the floor and I was on top of Fang, straddling his waist. We never broke that kiss for a second.

Ew Max! Get. A. Room! Iggy said in my head.

I have a room. If you don't like it, get out of my head! I didn't hear from him again.

? POV

It felt like a weight has been lifted off my chest. I started breathing and my heart started beating again. I slowly opened my eyes. I gasped as I saw my surroundings. I was back in a cage! I heard whimpering from the cage next to mine. The thoughts told me it was a bad dream. Suddenly my head exploded in pain, but I didn't let out a single whimper. The girl in the cage next to mine screamed, as did several other voices. I knew they were sharing the same pain as me. I could hear thoughts of white-coats from the room next to ours, but I didn't care. All I was worried about was the pain. Slowly, emotions from several directions that weren't my own ebbed into my body. The thoughts of the people around me were much stronger now. They were all terrified. Before I could reassure them everything will be ok, the door slammed open. A white-coat walked in. She had an evil grin on his face and his thoughts were quite disturbing.

"Velcome bach to School...Subject Eleven."

Chapter two done. I'm changing the story around a bit from the original and I'm trying to make the 'hunter' a bit less psychopathic! I'll also be putting in a back story to her back story so you can see there's a reason for doing the things she did/will do.
