SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry that I haven't updated in, like, 2-3 months, but I've been sooo busy with science fair, and a lot of other reasons that I know you don't want to hear, but if you do, PM or review me to ask why and I'll tell you. I'll get on with the story now. Flames are welcomed.

Disclaimer: I am not a writing genius, or anything of the sort, so don't even ask.

Chapter 12

Max POV

We all sat in the spots we did last time. Angel started and the game up again and the torture was started up again.

"Fang, truth or dare?" Of course, Fang, Mr. Emotional as a rock would pick dare, I mea-

"Truth." Great. Just when I think I have him figured out, he starts a whole new personality up and at' um. Can he get any more unpredictable?

"Tell the flock about your new power." WHA-

"I can freeze time." I DID NOT see that coming. Everything was silent for a moment, but then all of the bird kids plunged into action with their questions.

"SWEET!"-Gazzy "When were-"-Total (AN: did I leave him at Max's mom's?) "Cool, dude."-Iggy, "HOW? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? IS THAT-"- Nudge. While the rest of the flock went on about it, I remained silent, still comprehending the sudden advancement in out powers (Yes, people, I did make an A+ in ELA ((AN: English language arts)) while we were in school with Anne. Why are you making a big deal out of it?). So I had elemental powers, and now Fang has the ability to freeze time. What's next on the list? Only time will tell, I guess.

Maximum, what was in common with you and Fang getting new powers?

Why I don't know voice. Can you please wait until I can grasp the concept of Fang getting a new power too to ask him? The voice, as usual, didn't answer, probably from the sarcastic venom dripping from my thoughts to it.

"Fang?" My newly added involvement in the conversation made everyone turn to look at me.

"When did you discover you had the power?"

"It was when I saw you doubled over with pain from your brain attack."

Now that you know the events before getting your powers, can you find the common event?

Well, we were both with each other, and I was in pain both times, sort of. Um, is it the pain?

No.

Well I was also angry, and Fang must've been pretty mad at you for the brain attack. Was it the emotional trauma releasing?

You are smarter than I thought, Maximum Ride.
Are we all going to get new powers?

Again, the voice didn't respond. I was snapped back to the present situation of truth or dare by Fang's voice.

"Gazzy truth or dare?"

"Dare." Boy, did he have it coming! Fang bent over and whispered in Gazzy's ear. Iggy broke out in a smile. I guess being blind has its perks. Gazzy stood up and looked like he was about to give a speech.

"Fang, I loooooove you. I love you this much. I would die withou-" In the middle of his speech that was conducted in my voice, his arms out stretched as far as he could reach, he stopped and contorted his face into a mask of fear. I couldn't think of a reason that he would stop, well, except for the-

Noodle here! SOOOOOO sorry that I haven't updated. Again, if you want to hear all the reasons, PM or review to ask me. Sorry if Max was a bit OOC with the wide amount of vocab., I'm just really into ELA. My sis now calls me the walking encyclopedia. I need you guys to vote on my poll: Niggy or Nuzzy. I'll update tomorrow! I promise! If not, I'll me sure to update Sunday. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
