A/N: Hey! What's up? Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I've had a bit of writer's block and I've been a bit busy with this stupid Biology project and Finals and EOCTs are coming up. Math EOCT Monday! Ahhhhh! I'm not worried though. Anyways thanks for all the reviews! 124! Woo! So proud! So proud! Chapter 13 is up!

Disclaimer: Have you ever ridden the Maximum Ride? I haven't, but that's because I don't own it…nor do I own Fang.

Fang POV

After we had lunch, Dr. M went out to buy Max some better-fitting clothes and more food. It has been a few hours and Max still hasn't woken up. Dr. M says that it might have taken more energy to regrow than it did to regress.

According to her, when Max de-aged, her bones and organs were, to simplify it, "squished together". Regrowing caused her organs to stretch out painfully. It's like taking your spine, and stretching it beyond normal lengths. It sounded agonizing.

"I'm really worried." Nudge said, "It's been five hours and she still hasn't woken up!"

"Quiet, Nudge!" Iggy said, "We don't want to wake her up. We want her to wake up on her own. She might not snap at us that way."

"Oh. Right." she smiled sheepishly.

"I wish she would wake up soon. I hate waiting. It's too suspenseful!" said Gazzy.

"We all wish she would Gazzy," said Ella, "but in a way I don't want her to. I'm scared at how she will react. Last time wasn't so great."

"That's the understatement of the century." I said. Ella looked at me annoyed.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious." she said.

"Guys! Stop! Seriously! You're getting on my nerves!" Iggy said.

"Sorry, Iggy." Ella said. He smiled at her.

"Oh, you can keep talking. I was mostly talking to Fang." I glared at him.

"Look, why don't we just-" Angel was interrupted by a groan. It came from the couch.

"Max!" we whispered. We took off like bullets towards the couch. Max's eyes tightened as sleep was finally starting to leave her.

"Mom!" Ella yell-whispered. Dr. M ran into the room looking disheveled. She looked like she could really use some sleep.

"Alright, everyone stand back. Give her some room. We don't want to startle her." We stared at Max in anticipation, waiting for her to wake up. We don't know what her reaction will be, but I know that we all hope it will be good.

Max POV

Owwwwwwwwwww. My whole body hurts. What did the whitecoats do to me this time? Owwwwwwwwwww!

I had the weirdest dream. Or maybe I should call them dreams, with an s. There were more kids with wings, besides Fang, Iggy, and me. There were a bunch of Erasers too. And Ari was one of them! Jeb was there, and a woman and a girl a few years older than me were there too. Weird.

Owwwwww, stupid whitecoats! My body aches so much! I think I hear voices. That's not a good sign. If I ever told Fang or Iggy that, they'd tell me I should be in the funny farm. Not like I don't live in one already. Note the sarcasm.

Weird again. The voices sound familiar. They sound kind of like the voices from my dreams. Am I still dreaming? I hope I am. I'd rather be dreaming than live in the reality of the School. That place is a nightmare. Torture and mistreatment, we endure it.

I try to protect Fang and Iggy from it, seeing as I'm the oldest. The whitecoats still torture them anyway, but they put me through the most pain. Iggy and Fang don't know that, but what they don't know won't hurt them.

The voices are getting louder. If this was a dream then it should have started by now. Dang, I am waking up. I wonder what 'tests' the whitecoats will put me through today. Speed, agility, strength, they're all pretty much the same to me. I might as well open my eyes.

I blinked my eyes open and then I reclosed them. It is another dream. There's no cage or fluorescent lights. No murmuring whitecoats standing at the front of the cage poking at me or taking notes of whatever they take notes of. Instead I saw a ceiling. Not the ceiling of my cage or the ceiling of the School. It was a different kind of ceiling. No super bright light either, just a small one. It seemed warm, like it will protect me. Weird again…again. The voices grew louder.

"Max," one of them said quietly, almost…kindly. Definitely not a whitecoat, "open your eyes. It's okay. Your not at the School anymore."

Well that certainly got my attention. My eyes snapped open and I sat up quickly. I looked around me, startled.

There were seven people surrounding me. I instantly shrunk back, my eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Who are you?" I snarled.

"Max, it's okay. We are your friends." My head snapped towards the source of the voice. Standing there looking much taller and older than when I last saw him, was Fang.

What the heck is going on?
