OMG, I swear this is my favorite chapter yet! Short A/N cuz I wanna get typing. Thanks to the reviewers! As always, onto the story.

Libra POV

It was black, I felt my body. I was strong again, I wasn't sore from School tests. But, I couldn't see, was I blind like Iggy? I wandered aimlessly, my hands in front of me. I called out trying to find something solid.

Suddenly, there was a spotlight. The spotlight was sitting over a certain boy. He watched me with emotionless cold black eyes. His overgrown black hair blew slightly in the breeze. He had his dark huge wings unfurled and spread behind him. It was exactly as I saw him the first time. A beautiful avenging angel.

"Fang!" I cried.

I willed my legs to carry me to the bird boy. I willed myself to get closer to him, to tell him how I missed him. How I promised I'd escape to find him. But, as I reached him he faded. Like sand in the wind. Gone.

"Fang?" The spotlight went out, plunging me into darkness.

I, again, wandered. I was hoping I'd bump into Fang, and this time he'd be real. That I could bury myself in him and let the pain melt away. A new spotlight lit, this time over a lanky tall boy. He had unfocused blue eyes and strawberry blond hair. His tan wings were spread behind him too. Giving him the look of a real angel, if angels wore t-shirts and jeans.

"Iggy!" I cried out again.

Again this bird boy vanished. I stood lost when the spotlight went out. Then my senses were overloaded, to the point I fell to my knees.

"Libra, Libra. Libra, come out. Where are you, Libra?" different voices whispered.

I heard Fang's, Iggy's, Max's, Laron's, and surprising Jeb's. When I opened my eyes to see enough spotlights to highlight the entire flock and my Iowa friends. In front of them stood Jeb. Everyone of their faces was emotionless and blank, no sign of the familiar kids I knew.

"Do you see now?" Jeb spoke, his face becoming stern again, "Do you see how you never left?"

"No, I don't. You b-" I started.

"Libra, language." Jeb scolded, "Here, maybe this will help."

Suddenly, I was forced to my knees again. I clutched my head, trying desperately not to scream. A vision flashed through my head. A flashback, almost. I saw... me? In a cage, like currently. I realized I was seeing this from Jeb's point of view. There was wires hooked up to my (Libra) body. Jeb was making notes on a clipboard. Then, I gasped but my body didn't move. My eyelids fluttered, I was dreaming. Suddenly, I screamed.

"And there is the Eraser attack." Jeb murmured.

Jeb glanced at his watch, the date on the watch was May sixteenth. The day I had been at my house with Fang and Iggy. Yet, here I was in a crate sleeping, dreaming. I realized I wasn't wearing the green t-shirt and jeans I'd borrowed from Nudge. I was wearing a tunic, white, with no grass stains or tears from my crash landing at the E house. It hit me, I was dreaming. It had all been dream. There was no dark mysterious bird boy named Fang, whom I thought I loved. There was no sarcastic, smiling bird boy named Iggy. There was no E house in Colorado, where I had hoped to live before my recapture. That wasn't really a re-anything. It had all been a lie. A big huge flippin believable dream. I was left with absolutely nothing to my name, not even a real life. My life had died the second I chose to run away from home. I remembered that day clearly.

I stood alone in my room, taking in my old life one last time. I was tired of the name. Freakshow, Frankenmind, Nutto-girl, so many others that hurt so much worse. I was tired of bashing I got for my freaky-vision-power-thing. I wanted out, but was too chicken for suicide. I wasn't that far gone. I hadn't told my friends that I was leaving. I didn't want them to know why I was giving up. I didn't want to hear their pleas for me to stay, because I know I would. I knew Beth would make me feel guilty and I'd stay just because she asked.

"Well, Valla, I guess this is good-bye. Tomorrow, you will be a new girl." I whispered.

I had stolen some of my mom's savings, a good hundred dollars. I had one change of clothes and my oversized blue hoodie. All in my worn backpack. Just to making running worse, my favorite pet had to saunter into the room.

"Oh, Athena. I'm sorry, babe. You can't come. Stay here and keep Mom company." I cooed, cradling the silver tabby.

The tabby, probably not getting a word of that, purred and bumped her nose to my face. I patted the cat one last time and returned her to the floor. I shooed the tabby from the room and taking my pack, I shut the door behind me. I had left a note on my pillow, telling my mom why I left. I knew she'd freak when she read it, and she'd tell Matt, Beth, and Laron. At least I'd be long gone by then, I had skipped school today. So, I was alone in the house. No witnesses to my vanishing.

I shut the front door behind me, looking it. I blinked back warm tears, feeling the finality of this.

"Sorry, guys." I murmured.

Then I spun and sprinted down the street. I didn't really care where I was going. When I ran into a very hairy chest. I fell, staring up at the person, or creature, or rather it. It grinned at me, with a fang filled face.

"Hello, girlie. You're perfect." It laughed, scaring me.

Black.

"Aaahhh!" I screamed, wrenching myself upright.

I was once again bewildered by my surroundings. Then, I remembered the dream, the cage, the School. That fact that Fang and Iggy weren't real. That my life, this past week, had been lie. I lay back down on the cold floor, covering my face with my hands. I felt like screaming or hitting something, but I didn't have the strength to. I felt like crap, the pain of my earlier testing coming back to me. My head pounded with a massive migrane caused by the horrible dream.

"Just let me die already." I whispered, before blacking out again.

Jeb POV (ew)

Jeb couldn't believe that by stimulating her brain before the last test she had dreamed the reason why she knew there couldn't be Avians. He now sat in his office watching the girl, who was unconcious, on the camera in room. The girl actually was calm, instead of snarling or trying to take someone's hand off. The girl reminded him of Maximum, she also would have been snarling too.

"Batchelder?" a voice called on the intercom.

"Yes, Pym?" Jeb replied, clicking the button to speak.

"The new subject has arrived. The lizard-hybrid." Pym replied, sounding mechanical on the speaker.

"Good, put it in the crate across from Subject 12. I will see to it in the morning."

"Yes, sir. Good-night, sir." Pym said and the com-line disconnected.

Jeb sighed, yet another girl who had no life. She would have to be dealt with tomorrow, Jeb had to get out before he let Libra free himself. He would not turn Libra into another Maximum. Jeb hurried to pack away his things. He put away the camera and left the School.

Okay, now do see why this is my favorite chapter? Ahh, I love what happens when I get to write a dream sequence. They're soooo much fun! Let me know what you think! Thank you all for sticking with this for soo long, means a lot! Thanks annnddd Athena out!
