A/N: Loving the reviews people! Loving them! Also, school is almost over! Just 10 more school days left! Yes! I am so excited! I also got my permit the other day so I am even happier! Woo!...Here's chapter 16 of Tiny Max.

Disclaimer: I may not own Maximum Ride, but if Dylan and Max end up together I will destroy something and that will be VERY bad.

Max POV

"See you at the beach," I muttered to Fang, and then I hunched my shoulders and poured on the speed. In seconds I had shot way past the flock, the wind making my eyes water more. It was funny, but going this fast almost made me want to put my arms out in front of me, like Superman, as if it would split the air out of my way or something.

Ok, this is way too cool! Omigod! I could do this forever!

What the hey- no one could see me. I stretched my arms out in front, feeling like an arrow, a spear, slicing though heaven.

There are no better words to describe this!

I was at the beach in four minutes. I braked and slowed down, but not enough, and ended up running too fast through the sand and then tripping on my face.

Thank God no one was around to see.

I got up, spitting out sand,

Ew.

and brushed myself off. I was burning up and pulled off my sweatshirt.

I had maybe twenty minutes till the rest of them came.

I saved about twenty-four minutes flying at that speed! Awesome!

I walked along the beach, keeping my wings out so they would cool off. I felt desperate and scared and angry. "I don't even know how to saw the world," I said out loud, hating how pathetic I sounded.

Saving the world? Fang didn't tell me about that.

By existing, said the Voice.

Woah woah woah! Voice? Why is there a voice in my head!

By being strong. By lasting.

Shut up!: I yelled, kicking a piece of driftwood so hard it practically flew out of sight.

I'd had it, totally had it. No more. I ran to the water's edge and looked down at the sand.

Is it me or does the water seem farther away from me then usual?

In moments I had found it- a piece of broken shell, sharp on one side.

…What am I going to do with that?...

It was time for the chip to go

Chip? What chip? And what does it have to do with the Voice?

The Voice came from the chip.

Oh.

I was sure of it. No chip, no Voice inside my head that I couldn't get away from. I pressed my lips together hard and started sawing at my forearm,

Ow! What am I doing! Ow ow ow!

where I had seen the chip on an X-ray, three lifetimes ago, in Dr. Martinez's office.

X-ray? Fang never told me about that either.

The first slice brought blood and a surprising amount of pain.

Not surprising to me.

I clenched my teeth harder and kept sawing. Blood ran down my arm.

My God! I'm going to bleed to death!

I would have to cut through tendons and muscles and veins to get to the chip. Dr. Martinez had said that if I tried to take it out, I could lose the use of my arm.

Too bad.

What! What am I thinking! I don't want to lose my arm!

I heard skidding, running footsteps behind me, and then Fang was panting over me.

Is it me or does he seem shorter?

"What the hell are you doing?" he shouted, and grabbed my wrist, smacking my hand to make me drop the piece of shell. "Are you crazy?"

I glared at him, then saw the rest of the flock approaching slowly. I realized what they must be seeing: me kneeling on sand stained red with blood.

Well. Isn't that scary.

Fang POV

"So…she seems to be handling the situation well." Gazzy said.

"That's probably because she doesn't know the complete truth." Iggy said.

"Sh! Quiet down! What if she had come in and heard you say that?" Ella asked, "She probably would've had another meltdown!"

"She's right." I said, "We don't want her running off again."

"See?" Ella asked, "Fang thinks I'm right."

"What if she gets a certain memory, one that will show her that she's really fifteen? Or one that tells her something we didn't tell her?" Nudge asked.

"Maybe we can tell her that some of the memories might be lies, like she believed last time." Angel said, "We can tell her that the School inserted fake memories to throw her off on what to and what not to believe."

"That could work." I said, "Though it's a bit confusing."

"We'll ask her if she had any memories." Iggy said, "When she tells us what they were, we can tell her whether they're true or not."

"Not bad, but will affect her turning back to normal?" Gazzy asked.

"Well, she already has the memory," Ella said, "so it shouldn't affect it. I just hope the transformation isn't as horrifying as the one before. I almost threw up from watching it."

"Trust me Ella," I said, "We all wanted to."

A/N: Man that memory took up more than half the chapter! Well, thanks for the reviews! Seriously! You guys are saying it's like perfect and whatnot and that really makes me feel happy! It's what partly inspired me to update faster! Partly. The other part was that my other story had been almost done and I had wanted to finish it. Well, thanks again! Oh and since school is almost over I have a lot to do and I'm going on vacation right after school ends so I'm not sure when I will next update. It will probably be soon but my schedule really sucks so I'm not sure. Well… Review!

Love,
