Discalaimer: I do not own MR

Star Pov

We continued through the maze walking around, having fights with erasers, the usual. When we turned the last corner we saw a door. This was an easy maze, I

thought. We opened the door and their was a horde of like fifty erasers. All had teleport devices and Shadow and I could not use our powers. I was thinking as fast as

I could, but could not think of a way out of this one. In one click Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, and Iggy were out cold. Leaving only me, Shadow, and Fang. Well Shadow can

probably fight them no problem, but what about me and Fang. I heard another click and Fang was out cold. Okay think.

"Star close your eyes." yelled Shadow.

"Why?" I asked incredulously.

"Re-act by what you hear not see" He said "When you hear them appear near you attack the sound of their hearts"

Okay why not I thought. I closed my eyes and waited. I heard a faint click and got ready. I heard the sound of a heavy heartbeat. I punched The second I heard it,

resulting in an umph. I opened my eyes for a split second and saw an eraser clutching his chest. It worked. I closed my eyes and listened for more heartbeats, erasers

hearts are much stronger there for much louder than avian so I could make out the difference between Shadow's heart and the erasers. I fought like this for a few

minutes hoping Shadow was fine.

"They are all gone" I heard shadow say.

I opened my eyes and saw wolf-like bodies littering the floors.

"Good job Maximum and Shadow." A voice sounded over the intercom. "Now head back to your room and bring the Flock"

"Don't feel like it." I responded then started towards the door that connected to the hallway where our room is.

"WHAT?" Boomed the voice over the intercom.

"She said she does not feel like carrying the flock." Responded Shadow.

"Then they will be left here and the heated floor will kill them." Said Jeb's voice.

"Why do I care?" I asked.

"Fine. We will have erasers the erasers bring them in." Said the intercom voice.

Shadow and I went back to the room. About two minutes later five erasers showed up carrying the flock.

"Just toss them in a pile over there" I said pointing at the corner. All ties I used to have to the flock have been destroyed. I had Shadow now.

Fang Pov

When I woke up I was at the bottom of a pile with the rest of the flock on top of me. I was so sore I did not even bother trying to push them off. When finally the flock

woke up and got off of me I got up and leaned against the wall. Max and Shadow were sitting on the floor next to each other and starring of into space. I wonder

what they are thinking about, I thought. I wonder if Max misses us more than she is letting on. If I could just get her alone and talk to her in private, maybe I can make

her see that I still love her and need her. I am much better for her than Shadow. I know her better. She is my soul mate. An eraser came and said

"Hey birdies, I will take the three little ones, blind boy, and emo boy." I figured he was probably just going to take the entire current flock so I stood up and so did

Shadow. "The one with weird eyes" He said and I sat back down. I soon realized that only Max and I were left. Thank you what ever supreme deity that has finally

taken pity on this poor kid. Now I can finally speak to Max in private.

"Max." I said She ignored me. "Max, please just listen. Please come back to the flock. We need you. I need you. I love you." She continued to ignore. "Max" I said

again. This time she turned to face me.

"Listen Fang, a few things you should know." she said in a very carefully controlled . I figured she would just tell me to call her Star and talk about how we let her

down. "First off I am Star, Max is dead. Second you wanna know what happened to Max. She not only died, but she was tortured. Not physically, but emotionally. You

caused her worse pain than any lab could possibly have done" That one I did not see coming and it hurt like a sucker punch. She continued. "Also one more thing you

should know. After Shadow and I finished off the erasers the scientists told me and Shadow that we would have to carry you and the flock back to the room or the

heated floor would kill you." This is good I thought, feeling slightly better at last she was willing to save our lives. "And I asked why should I care. So they had erasers

carry you back." I let that sink in. To say it hurt would be an understatement. Hell to say I would have rather live the rest of my life in the school and when I die be

boiled in acid for the rest of eternity, instead of learning that would be an understatement. Tears started rolling down my cheeks and it turned into sobs. Max just

looked at me disgustedly.

AN: So what did you think. Fang really got a bitch slap to the face there. Well R&R. Tell me what you think
