Aj: no author's note this time. Just read.

Previously: "Fang?" I asked.

"You mean Fang wants to meet you because he has information on what happened to Angel?" My mom asked confused. I nodded and Gazzy and Nudge's grins resembled the Cheshire cat. Guess who wasn't too happy? You guessed it, Dylan, my supposed part deux.

"I think it's a trap." He stated.

"I do too, but I'm still going." I agreed. My mom looked confused.

"Why do you think it's a trap?" She asked. Her naivety was somewhat entertaining.

"I don't trust Fang," I answered. "He breaks too many promises and lies too much for me to trust him again. I'm meeting him about ten miles east."

"I'm going with you. I don't trust him either."

"No."

"What's the matter Maxie, don't want me to see you two running towards each other in a field?" He mocked. I slugged him in the jaw knocking him off of his feet.

"Don't call me Maxie and shut up or I'll kill you," I told him fuming. "You can come with me if you want, but you have to hide so that if it is a trap, you can swoop in." He nodded and we left the flock there bursting with anticipation. After we had gone about ten miles I crossed my fingers and moved them apart to symbol to split up. He nodded and angled his wings so he could circle while I went super speed and arrived in the middle of an empty street. A dark figure came out from behind a building whom I recognized as my former second in command, former best friend, and most importantly, former boyfriend.

"Yo." He greeted coming up to me. I slugged him in the jaw stunning him, then I roundhouse kicked him in the ribs sending him knocking down. I was about to crack his ribs when he grabbed my ankle and pulled me down, attempted to at least. I spun in mid air and caught myself on my hands then pushed myself up and kicked his chest as hard as possible. His breath left him with an oof giving me time to kick his manly hood while he was lying on his back. He groaned and I smirked, but before I could do any more damage five pairs of arms held me back so I couldn't move.

"I knew this was a trap!" I spat as he got up.

"It's not." He answered solemnly.

"Oh, so you call me being unable to get away a big ol' reunion party." I mused, sarcasm dripping off of my words like venom.

"Well, it's not like you were the most forgiving." He retorted.

"Oh you expect me to be freaking forgiving after you ditch us and Angel almost stabs me, but that butthead Dylan jumps in front of me. You expect me to be forgiving when Iggy gets kidnapped. You expect me to be forgiving when you emotionally scar all of the kids and make them think that you don't love them anymore. You expect me to be forgiving when all you leave to say goodbye is a freaking note! Well excuse me it's all my fault that we're in this mess." I scowled. He flinched and I struggled against my unknown captors' so I could strangle him for barely showing any emotion as if he didn't even care about his own family.

"I'm sorry Max." He whispered.

"Oh, you're sorry. Well that makes everything so much better because you're sorry. I totally forgive you because you're sorry. I can trust you because you're sorry. Sorry doesn't fix anything Fang." I screeched.

"Well, at least I'm trying, Max."

"Fang, you quit trying the day you ditched us for glitch-free versions." I told him, now noticing that my captors' were our clones. Dylan chose now to swoop in and quickly took out the clones and stomped on them.

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?" He asked.

"Say it all you want, but it doesn't mean anything. It's just a word. Now, the only reason I came here was because you told me you knew what happened to Angel. Spill it." I ordered.

"You would've come no matter what." Dylan said interrupting Fang.

"Shut Up!" I ordered. He listened. Gotta love that eager to please attitude even with the smart-acleck that I wanted to punch. I saw Fang smirking, but quickly gave him one of my famous glares that I only use on enemies. His eyes widened a millimeter because I was basically telling him that he was an enemy.

"RAVEN. It's a new enemy. They broke her spirit, brainwashed her, and then gave her a serum that would enhance her powers." He informed.

"How do we undo the brainwashing?" I asked knowing that these were the guys who took Iggy and could be doing the same thing to him right now.

"Dunno', but it's a start." My shoulders sagged at another unanswered question with only a week left.

"Fine. C'mon Dylan." I growled.

"You honestly think you can get her back and defeat RAVEN on your own? You're duller than I remember you Maximum." Max 2 piped up.

"She's right. We need to work together," Fang agreed. "Unless, of course you want Iggy to turn out like Angel." How dare he use that against me!

"Fine. Meet us at my mom's." I told him. He nodded and the eight of us took off. I flew super speed though. In about a minute I was on the front porch and I crashed through the door as if I had wolf DNA in me.

"I'm guessing you didn't find him." My mom noticed.

"Oh I found him."

"Then why are you so upset?" Gazzy asked.

"She's mad that he thinks he can betray us and just leave us hurt and then come back like nothing ever happened." Nudge answered. We gawked at her wondering if she got Angel's power of mind reading.

"I can tell from your emotions, Anger, betrayed, hurt, sad, disbelief, and she feel replaced." Nudge explained.

"How can you have so many emotions at the same time?" The Gasman asked. Nudge shrugged and I put my hands on my hips with an, excuse me, look on my face. They shrunk back and I smirked. Then Dylan, Fang, and the clones came in. Gazzy jumped up from his spot on the couch.

"Iggy!" He yelled happily and hugged the clone of his best friend.

"Nope, I'm better looking. I'm his clone." Iggy 2 answered. A crest fallen Gazzy let go and slumped over to the couch. I felt bad for him. First he lost his little sister, then his best friend. He perked up when he saw Angel 2, but she shook her head sadly. I saw a tear run down his cheek and sat next to him. I patted his back and he crawled into my shoulder to sob, if only it wasn't the one that got shot because that hurt a little. Then there was a ringing through the house that I recognized as my mom's phone. She picked it up and began talking, but as soon as she was done she looked like Gazzy who had lifted his head up.

"That was my associate. He said he analyzed your blood Max and that whatever they injected you with, when activated by whoever designed that will spread a disease throughout your body that will make you sick and in ten minutes it will kill you." She told us sobbing. My expression remained blank while complete silence filled the room. Gazzy and Nudge buried themselves in my shirt sobbing, Dylan passed out, and Fang grabbed my mom's shirt.

"Who injected it in her?" He ground out through his teeth with an expression of pure rage on his usually impassive face. I got up from my spot on the couch and pulled Fang off of my mom.

"What the h do you think you are doing!" I screamed at him.

"Don't you even care that you're going to die?" He asked.

"I don't know do you?" I retorted with a calm voice and expression.

"Listen, they haven't activated it yet therefore, I'm not going to die. Simple. Now go and be emo if you want to, but if you attack my mom again I will hurt you." I told him calmly.

"You can't hurt him, you're just a girl!" Gazzy 2 yelled from across the room.

"Did you see what I did to him at our happy reunion or would you like to fight me sexist piglet number 2?" He cowered back and I smiled.

"Nudge! Can you help me hack into a corporation's database to find out where our blind boy is?" She nodded, a smile lighting her face and followed me into my mom's office. She got on the computer and got past a bunch of encryption codes until she got a headquarters where a helicopter landed today that RAVEN owned. We both smiled and were about to tell the others' when there was an annoying knocking sound on my mom's door. I answered it and saw a girl about Ella's age standing there looking panicked and scared.

"Is Ella's mom here?" She asked.

"You can tell me, I'm Ella's half-sister." I told her letting her inside the house and making the clones hide.

"You're Max?" She asked. I nodded and she visibly relaxed. Now tell me what happened.

"A big helicopter with this symbol came down while Ella and I were walking home and some werewolves kidnapped her." My breath caught in my throat.

"Can you tell me what the symbol was?" I asked. She nodded.

"It was a Raven."

Anika: Really? You're that evil?

Aj: [smiles and nods]

Anika: Well, at least it was long.

Aj: So should Max forgive Fang before she dies? Tell me in the reviews. I require five as usual by the way. Oh and the next chapter has the big rescue scene that leads up to a….

Anika: Let me guess, a cliffy.

Aj: It's a cliffy for a cliffy, but with more action. So for that I want 5 reviews like usual. See ya' next time. Maybe tonight if you really want it. –Aj.
