FANG'S POV.

Eventually my senses gradually made their way back to me. It took me a moment to realise i was tied up in a sack. I growled and cussed under my breath. Then it dawned on me, the rest of the Flock, where were they?, were they with me?, were they ok?.

I heard them then. Well Angel anyway.

So I began to kick the bag trying to get out. I knew threats wouldn't but it was worth a try.

Fang began kicking in the sack. "Jesus Christ can somebody get me out of the Freaking bag because I swear to god as soon as I get my hands on you I will...."

The top of the Sack fell open. And there she was the face I had been waiting to see for five years.

She was perfect as always, but he face and arms were bruised and cut. She stood over me looking like a vision, something that had been sent from heaven.

"You swear to God you'll what?" her voice was soft like the most amazing melody.

I couldn't say anything I just lay on the floor vulnerable and weak and stared at her. Trying to memorise her face, her body, she curves in all the right places and she was even more beautiful than before, if that was possible.

Her big brown eyes suddenly filled with pain and sorrow and she turned and ran to the far corner of the room. She sank to the floor and put her head in her hands.

My brain began to work again, what was she doing? What was happening?, was she hurt?

Slowly her body began to shake, each shake becoming more violent. Every so often a small whimper would escape her lips.

Angel's piercing scream echoed through the room and Max's head shot up. She squeezed her eyes shut and then looked up at us.

Iggy ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her murmuring something too low for me to hear into her ear. Suddenly I felt insanely jealous, I wanted to be the one to comfort her. I wanted to wrap my arms around her waist and hold her.

But I couldn't. She stood up just as Gazzy cried. "Max, its Nudge she won't wake up."

Max ran over to where Gazzy was sitting Nudges head in his lap.

She leant down and placed a kiss on her forehead and began stroking her hair. I realised then what a true carer she was, how great a mother she would be. The flock they felt safe with her, she knew what she was doing, she loved them truly. I had taken that away from them for two years, the only proper mother figure any of them had ever had. I felt like a true Jerk then, how could I have been so stupid?

"Nudge" She whispered stroking her hair. "Nudge come on sweetie, wake up, your family they need you. Nudge! Come on you have to wakeup. Don't let them win this Nudge, they can't take you, come on be strong Baby." Never once had I said anything like that to them.

Nudge's eyes fluttered open and she just gaped at Max.

Then she launched into a speech. "Max, O thank God finally they found you. Fang said he would but I didn't think it would work. I didn't know it would be this easy."

Well at least she was ok. I looked at Max. She was staring at me, her eyes filled with disbelief though her face was impassive.

I thought back to what nudge had said. Finally they found you. Fang said he would.........

It clicked then, she didn't believe, couldn't believe that I had wanted to find her. It broke my heart then, how could she think that. The answer was obvious though, I had ripped her away from her family, left her alone and broken her heart. I guess that's enough reason for her to hate anyone. But I was her Best Friend, her right hand man, I had no excuse, but I went ahead and did it anyway.

Just then an Eraser stuck his head around the door, I had no idea who he was, Max obviously did ads she stiffened. His Gaze swept around the room until it landed on Max.

He smirked, "Enjoying the company Gorgeous?"

She snarled at him as I growled.

He just laughed "Looks like I've got competition. But don't worry Maxie, I always win."

I didn't even think I just launched myself at him, how dare someone talk to Max that way. I know I had no claim over her anymore but I wasn't going to put up with it, I don't know why she did. Then it dawned on me, she was used to this, he had done this before. I tackled him to the ground and punched him repeatedly in the face. Rage fuelling my fight.

Max screamed as Mike fist connected with my Jaw. She ran over and pulled me off him.

"Stay out of this" she whispered to me.

She launched herself at him.

Straddling his chest she punched his jaw. "Don't do this Mike" She snarled, looking truly murderous. "Don't mess with us, Don't touch my family, or I swear you will pay."

He laughed at her and she punched him again. "O Maxie Maxie, looks like someone has the hots for the big bird boy over there. But don't worry I can change your opinion on that."

Using all the force in his body he threw her off him. Shot up and pinned her against the wall. He attacked her mouth roughly with his.

By now I was seeing red, I was ready to kill someone, "Mike" being my prime target.

Max was squirming underneath him, trying to get him off, but her had hold of her arms.

It looks like Iggy and I Had the same idea, we both ran over and yanked him back by his hair. He let out a howl of agony as he spun round to face us.

He swung his leg round and I had no time to block it, I closed my eyes and braced my self for the impact. But it never can. I heard a shriek of agony and realised Max had grabbed his leg and used the force form the kick to spin him over into the nearest wall.

Mike jumped and ran for her, but a white coat stuck his head around the door. "Mike stop, you pathetic waste of space, you're are here to guard not to fight."

He pulled a syringe out of his pocket and turned to Angel. "Your names now". Angel was silent.

The white coat waved his syringe in her face. "Come on little girl" he sneered," your names and none of you get hurt."

Angel remained silent and the white coats expression darkened.

Crap I thought, he's going to kill us...........

Max POV

Ange? I thought hard Angel, if you can hear me I need you to give him fake names, make them up use code names whatever, he cant find out your the flock, God knows what he will do.

Please angel come on please. I begged, praying she could hear me, when she stayed silent I began to freak. Preparing myself to take down the white coat syringe or not, I really hated this guy.

Suddenly Angel's voice piped up " Ariel, Tiffany, Nick, Jeff and Zephyr."

The white coat laughed and patted her head. "There now, that wasn't so hard was it?, now to go and look you up on our data system.

I sighed with relief as he walked out of the room, Mike trailing behind.

Suddenly Angel turned on me. "Max please, you need to explain, what was that about, why the fake names, what's going on here."

I sighed, I guess they needed to know, I took a deep breath as I began to tell my story......
