Here's another update for everyone. And I know some of you said you will not read it, if there was rape in it…so I'm debating on what to do for some of the upcoming chapters. I do not own Maximum Ride at all…warning: morbid brotherly love in this chapter. There is no sex in this chapter. (Still debating.) Max might be getting out of character in these chapters because, I'm flipping the story around, so sorry if she does. Fang might find some happiness in this chapter =]

Fang's P.O.V

I can't fucking believe he's back. I rub my ebony hair roughly trying to think straight and not panic. My heart is pounding with anger and fear. Which one is stronger than the other, I don't quite know. I know what he's after but, FUCK! He can't have it. Not this time.

My metal door opens and I scurry to the corner fearing the worst.

It's him.

"Why must you torture me Alek? Haven't you tortured me enough in my life?" I growl at him angrily.

"I haven't tortured you at all little brother. What are you talking about?" He smiles and walks over to me. He sits beside me, "You know I love you Fang." He kisses more forehead again. "But, you're beginning to bore me. I've found a very beautiful creature to replace you." He smiles devilishly.

My eyes widen with anger and fear. "You will not lay a hand on her!" I jump to my feet and scream at him, my fists clenched at my side, my hatred towards him seething.

"Oh little brother I already have. She has very soft skin." He laughs lightly.

My anger gets the best of me and I swing an uppercut to his jaw. My fist makes contact with his lower jaw and there is an audible cracking noise.

Alek cries out and grabs his jaw, there is a little blood trickling from his lip.

"You will not touch her." I glare at him.

He laughs cruelly at me. "Oh I will. She finds me to be a lot more dependable than you." He wipes the blood away from his lip. The cut that was on his lip has vanished.

"How…how did"

"All of us are gaining new powers, its part of our DNA structure and development. Max already has hers. So does Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Mine has just recently developed. All I'm waiting for, and all the school is waiting for is to see what yours will be." He walks over to me grabbing my throat, and slamming me against the wall.

"Just don't try to do anything stupid." He kisses my forehead again and vanishes.

I'm left alone, with more empty thoughts and worthless tears.

Max's P.O.V

"Iggy I don't know what to do." I hold my head between my knees.

"Max, come on. You barely know this Alek guy. All you know is that he was created like us, and is supposedly Fang's brother." Iggy raises his voice at me slightly. "Plus, you always wanted me over Fang, and I pushed you away because I didn't want you and he did. Now you're telling me you want to try and invite this stranger into our family, because you have the hots for him?" Iggy was ranting now.

"I know but…all I've wanted is a chance with a decent guy, and now I have that chance." I look up at him with pleading eyes.

"Yeah, do you really think you can handle a relationship? I mean look what to Fang, the way you treated him. And do you remember the way you reacted when I rejected you."

"Yeah…well…well I've grown since then. I've matured and learned what I really want in a partner. And neither you nor Fang match the standards now." I glare at Iggy angrily.

Iggy looks a little hurt but then puts on a mask of understanding, "As long as you know what you're doing." He begins to walk away into the other room. "Just remember, what's best for you, may not be best for the Flock." He disappears behind the door.

"Ahhhh!" I scream into a pillow. "No one understands!"

"No one understands what?" A cool and warming voice asks behind me.

Gentle hands grab behind me and wrap around my waist pulling me closely to a warm body but being careful not to crush my caramel wings. The heat rushes to my face and the butterflies in my tummy are released from their cages.

I lean my head back against his shoulder, "Nothing dear."

He sighs, "If my angel says so." He kisses my neck, and the troubles of the world seem to disappear.

Fang's P.O.V.

I crush the other Whitecoat's skull into the metal bed and dart for the opened door. More crazy bastards run towards me but I stretch out my 14 foot wings and take flight just out of their reach as I finally fly free into the dusk of the night. The wind blows through my long hair and my once glossy feathers, tears run down my face. But, they are not longer tears of sadness. I look to the sky and the crescent moon.

"I am finally free."

Max's P.O.V

"He what?" I bellow. "How did he escape?"

"He waited for the Whitecoat to turn his back then jumped on him and well…escaped." Jeb answered softly.

"Well...I don't know what to say. It's good but, he left me. He left the Flock behind." Tears begin to blur my vision.

"Shhh dear it's alright." Alek hugs me from behind.

"I thought you didn't care if he died or left or anything?" Iggy asks behind me.

"I well…I don't know. He's treated me like shit for awhile; I guess the Flock is better off without him." I stare at Iggy.

'Better off for the Flock, or for you?" Nudge's voice cracks from behind me. Her, Angel and Gazzy's eyes were all glazed over with tears.

"I…I think we are all better off without him. He has brought us more trouble than anything, and has put us in danger more than enough times when he flies off after I reject him. We have a new member now, and I think we will become a better and stronger family, now since Fang is gone." I let my tone ring through the air. "Alek is with us now, and that is final. He needs a home just as much as we need to stick together. It was Fang's choice to leave. And he left us all behind. If we do not stick together we won't make it. Fang doesn't care anymore and is going his own way, as we are going our own way. I won't try and stop him. He's on his own, and we are together now, with a new member so let's just go our separate ways and be a family again. The school has no more use for us now that the leaders and directors have been destroyed. We can finally settle down and be happy" I finish my speech, and wait for any objections.

"Do you really think we can be a family again?" Nudge and Angel both ask.

"Of course we can guys." I reassure them, and give them both hugs. "And this is our new member, Alek."

He walks to the center of attention.

Angel walks up first and gives him a hug, "Welcome." Nudge does the same as her and Gazzy shakes his hand like a man. The only one that leaves the room is Iggy.

I can see tears go down his pale cheeks.
