A/N: So school is almost over…Yay! So excited for summer baby! I will warn you that right after school I am going on vacation so I might not update for a while after this one or the next one so don't freak out or anything! I've got EOCTs and Finals too so that is going to distract me too. But this story is moving so that's all I care about. I'm working on these other stories too, but I'm stuck on the beginning for one of them, which sucks. Well, I better start the chapter before you get your pitchforks and torches soo…here it is!

Disclaimer: My name is Browniesarethebest, not James Patterson, so I don't own Maximum Ride or Fang!

Max POV

"So let's start." What was his name? Oh right, Gazzy said.

"First, Jeb took us out of the School and to Colorado." Fang said.

"Why?"

"We thought he was doing that to protect us, but really it was another test."

"Of course it was." I said bitterly.

"So we were fine for a while until Angel was kidnapped. We went after her and in the process our home was burned down."

"Was it nice? The house?" I asked.

"Yeah," Iggy said, "it was pretty cool."

"On our way to saving Angel, you met Ella and Dr. M."

"You saved me from some awful bullies." Ella said.

"Cool." I said.

"After the whole thing with Dr. M, we went to rescue Angel and all of us but Iggy and Gazzy were captured by the School." I shivered. Going back to the School is like a never-ending nightmare.

"Gazzy and Iggy saved us and we took off for New York to see if we can figure out who our parents are. Angel had heard the whitecoats thinking about it."

"Wait." I said interrupting Fang, "she heard the whitecoats thinking about it?"

Fang's eyes widened, realizing his mistake, "Uh…"

"Yes, I can hear thoughts. Does that bother you?" Angel asked. I thought about it.

"No," I answered, "I've seen some pretty horrible things in the School. Mind readers are nothing compared to those things."

The flock sighed in relief. What? Did they expect some sort of explosion or something?

"Well anyways, we arrived in New York and started researching about where we could find the information we wanted. We found out that there was a place called the Institute for Higher Living. It was underground." Man, I'm starting to get a headache…

Fang POV

I got really nervous when I slipped up. How could I have forgotten about not bringing up the mind reading? Last time she freaked out and flew off. I can be a real idiot sometimes.

"We went to the Institute and ended up releasing others like us. We also got information on us, which turned out to be false. You also fought Ari and won." No need to mention that she killed him. She doesn't need to think about that right now.

I was about to continue when I heard her groan. She was holding her head and wasn't looking at us.

"Max, are you ok?" asked Nudge.

"No." she moaned, "My head hurts. Bad."

"All this information is putting pressure on her mind." said Dr. M, "We shouldn't overload her. We don't want to hurt her."

Max moaned again. I hope she's ok.

"Why don't you guys go relax? I'll put Max to bed. Come on Max." Dr. M led Max to her room. We all let out a breath we didn't know we were holding.

"That went so much better than I thought it would." said Ella.

"No kidding." Gazzy said.

"Yeah! She didn't scream or cry or freak out!" said Nudge, "That is definitely a plus!"

"Do you think she'll be back to normal soon?" Angel asked me.

"I'm sure she will be soon." I answered.

"I hope so." she said, "I miss the old Max."

"Me two." said Gazzy.

"Me three." said Nudge.

"Me four." said Ella.

"Me-"

"Alright! I get it. We all miss the old Max." The me's were really starting to get annoying.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" asked Iggy.

"It's pretty late." I said, "We should probably go to bed."

"Yeah, I am feeling pretty tired." Ella said.

"See you guys in the morning." We all said our various 'good nights' and went off to bed.

Max POV

I hope everything that Fang told me is true. It sounded pretty awesome. It sounded like we had a mother too, Dr. M. I hope that's true. I've always wanted a mother.

Ow…my headache is getting worse. Is it because I'm regaining my memories or is it something else? Who knows what it could be when the School is involved. Hopefully, I can get my memories back and get Fang and Iggy back to normal soon. I don't like being younger than them.

Ow. Ok, this is starting to really anger me. My head is throbbing! It's like someone is smashing a hammer into my head over and over again. God, I wish it would just go away!

My eyes are throbbing too. I also feel a little overheated. Weird. I can't be sick. We, as Fang, Iggy, and I have dubbed it, Avian Americans shouldn't get sick. Like rarely if not never.

Maybe I should just try to sleep. Hopefully, the pain won't be in my dreams too. That would really suck. I can't wait to hear more about our adventures tomorrow though. It sounds like we do a lot of weird, crazy things. Well, at least my eyes are finally starting to get heavy. Now I can sleep and the morning can come.

And I can hear more about the amazing things that I have done.

A/N: So I have another story up! Yay! I'm seriously not sure how much longer this is going to be…hmm… I'm excited because I've been typing up other ideas and I can't wait to upload them! Woo! Really excited for this one story…I won't explain it now…now I'm rambling. Sorry. Uh… Review!

Love,
