Thank you All That Glitters - Is Sparkly for reviewing. I'll try. Hehe, I'm still getting used to your new name. I keep wanting to put Kittychow.

Thank you CruellaDeVille for reviewing. Glad I could do that. Hehehe.

Thank you MYcookies for reviewing. Really? It's that good? Yays! I gave myself nightmares too. I keep looking at my sister's seal at night. It's evil. I just know it.

Thank you Da InviSible UniCorn for reviewing. Hahaha.

Yays, I got 31 views the other day. My highest number or viewers so far.

So, so, so, so sorry for not updating for so long. I went camping and couldn't.

I was exhausted. Also, I wear contacts at night to help balance my vision but I don't wear them at camp cuz they hurt like heck cuz there is dirt everywhere and so since I haven't worn them in three days, everything was like super blurry and I couldn't write anything.

I know I should have posted an AN chapter to tell you guys beforehand but I completely forgot until I unpacked my teddy bear.

I know I use a lot of broken and incomplete sentences in this story. If that bothers anyone, then I am really sorry about that too.

WARNING: NEVERMORE SPOILERS IN THIS CHAPTER AND MANY CHAPTERS AFTER THIS RELATING TO THE ORIGIN OF the VOICE!

Do not complain to me about not warning you about the spoilers. The warning is in bold caps. If you missed it, then it is not my fault it's yours.

Here is the Font key: Telepathic toy talking to each other will be written in bold italics. Telepathic toys talking to Angel will be in bold. Max and anyone else thinking back to the voices is in italics. Angel speaking telepathicly back to the voice in HER head is underlined.

DIsclaimer: ILuvMyFangPlushie does not own Max Ride.

Enjoy the story.

Chapter 9: THE Voice

Max wakes the other flock members up.

She pops popcorn.

They are heading for New start to take off.

We can't risk her, like we did last time. We must continue our permanent implantations into her brain. Quickly.

The animals push their way back into her brain.

The implantation is complete. Time for us to take over. We need to connect her brain with our little one. Just a little bit. Give her a glimpse into our little one's mind. Even if she doesn't know that it is happening.

For a year now, Angel has been seeing things. Things that happened in the future. She doesn't really understand it yet. The flock doesn't know that it is happening. What she doesn't know is that the innocent looking animals are in control of it all.

I need to Max to know what I know. I need to show her. Maybe these thoughts will make her feel better.

Max is curled up into a ball, crying.

Angel shows Max her thoughts. Hoping that they would calm her down. She shows Max images that she sees. Images of blurred buildings, fuzzy landscapes, people's faces, food, newspaper headlines, black and white pictures, swirly things, and many other things.

Soon the pain leaves Max's brain. Enough to give her back the ability to stand again.

Angel asks Max what happened. She doesn't know that these voices. The ones she kept in her room were the cause of Max's pain. Angel is scared of pain. She doesn't know the origin of the pain and that scares her.

Fang worries for her. It scares him too. That she's in pain and there isn't anything he can do to help her.

They're all worried about her.

Max gets up and they get ready to make their ways to New York.

Fang takes off and he tells her to go first. He wants to watch her. Make sure she is really okay.

Nudge wants her parents. These thoughts torture her mind. Max and Nudge talk. Max thinks of her own family. Of Valencia and Ella. She misses them even though she doesn't know about her real relations towards them.

They make it to New York City. They see the lights and the city.

They hear music. It's a concert.

The little ones convince Max to let them go.

It's the Taylor Twins.

The Gasman and Nudge enjoy themselves.

Iggy doesn't like it. Too much noise.

They leave the concert and then fall asleep in the trees of Central Park.

They wake up at dawn the next morning to joggers, bicyclers, and horseback riders.

They smell honey roasted peanuts.

Roasted peanuts with a scent so amazing that there was nothing that they could do other than buy said peanuts.

Little do they know that these peanuts had be tampered with the day before. An irresistible smell created to draw these flock members in. This smell captivates the flocks' senses, but brings disgust to everyone else. A smell created by an ordinary woman working in a perfume store. A woman that for a brief moment was controlled by some voices.

The scent is only used for a brief moment. Right now, this scent is used. This first encounter was a test. Get them to familiarize themselves with this smell. It's also there to bring them where they are supposed to be, at the right time.

They buy the peanuts and they eat the peanuts, completely unaware.

The Erasers make their ways to the flock.

The flock members hear their approach.

Our older girl. We need to put her in as many uncomfortable situations a possible. Make her uncomfortablt. Cause panic and bring her doubt in her own self. What better way to do it than lead them into the zoo. Animals in cages. Drown her mind with memories. Horrible memories.

Iggy hears animals and kids.

Animals and little kids. That seems safe.

"Left!" Iggy yells.

The flock members follow him into the zoo entrance.

The Erasers aren't there to catch them. They aren't here to kill them. They are here to scare them. Scare them into the right places at the right times. Everything is planned. Everything is thought out. Everything is going exactly the way it should. The way it is meant to happen.

AN: Sorry again for the late update.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Review, review, review.
