Hey Guys, I'm so sorry for not updating earlier but I've been too caught up with my school. I'm in all Honors classes and I'm in my last weeks of shool before I go to highschool. But I'll find some time in there to update even if it takes a couple of days.
Anyway Thanks to MyNameIsNot for reviewing and XXXxSmIlEyMe123xXXX for giving me characters, I'm going to use them all next chapter.
Angel's POV
I choose my family, always.
When I heard that I knew we were too late, we were minutes away from the room he was in when we heard the gunshots.
Just before we heard it I heard Iggy in my mind. If you can hear me Angel, I love you guys. Good-bye, I'll never forget any of you.
I screamed and ran faster through the hallway. I looked at Max next to me. We're too late.
We ran faster, I was in the lead following his thoughts but they were growing weak. He was looking at the girl next to him the girl that sacrificed herself for us, for his family. He loved her, he could see the blood pooling around her.
It's too late for her, too late for her brother, too late to keep my promise. She'll never see the outside of this hellhole. Hewasgrowingweak. His thoughts were disappearing.
No Iggy. I thought. Don't leave us.
I stopped and pulled open the door. He was there lying in a pool of his own blood. Five feet from him was the girl, also lying in her own blood.
He was still alive but not for long. I could tell he was leaving, he had given up altogether.
Max was at his side immediately, Fang was on the other side. Nudge was crying with Gazzy not looking at his body. I just stood there; time seemed to slow down around me.
I looked around and found the girl her eyes were still open and her breathing was ragged. She saw me looking and her head turned slightly in my direction, without thinking I walked over to her.
I immediately noticed the tears in her eyes. I grabbed her hand in mine. "Who did this?" I asked tears falling from my eyes.
She didn't speak out loud but I heard her. The director, she made him choose.
Choose what? I asked her.
Not what, who? All of you or me but there was no choice I made him choose all of you. I'm sorry I didn't know they would do this to him, she promised he'd be safe I gave up everything for him. She squeezed my hand softly.
I squeezed back. It's not your fault. Did you give him his sight back?
She smiled. Yes. I'm Rebel by the way.
I felt her hand weaken and she closed her eyes. I gave her one last message. He loved you.
I did too.
I knew she was gone her thoughts were no longer there. I turned and saw Max her head was resting against Fang's shirt, sobbing. Even Fang had tears in his eyes. Next to them was Iggy's body.
I walked over to Iggy's body on the floor. His eyes were closed almost like he was sleeping except for the blood covering him. I hugged his body not caring if I got blood all over me. "Iggy, she really loved you." I wiped my tears away and closed my eyes finally letting all my tears out.
I felt someone's arms around me from behind and turned to burry my head in Max's shirt. "It's okay, honey. Everything's going to be okay."
Max stood up still carrying me in her arms. I heard Fang's voice. "Do you know who did this, Max?" I felt her shake her head.
I lifted my head and spoke up. "I know exactly who did this. The Director killed Iggy. An Eraser killed Rebel."
Everyone looked confused. Nudge was the first to ask the question. "Who's Rebel?"
I pointed to Rebel on the floor her blood pooling around her Whole body even her black hair. "She's Rebel. Iggy was her only friend and they made him choose who he would save. She made him choose us." They all looked at me wide-eyed.
"She gave up her life... for us?" Max asked. I nodded. "Why?"
I sighed. "All I know is that her last thoughts before she got shot was, "I'm not going to be the bait again" I guess this has happened before." As I finished speaking the warning bell turned on.
We looked at Max. "We have to go." She said, making her way to the door.
"What about Iggy and Rebel?" Gazzy asked.
Max looked at the bodies then at Gazzy. "We can't take them. They'll slow us down."
I nodded. "She's right. Iggy did this to save us if we take them we're ruining our chance of escape."
They all considered this for a moment then headed for the door. Fang was the last one out with one last look at Iggy's life-less body he closed the door.

Iggy's POV
I could hear them talking, could hear them crying but there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't reach them no matter how hard I tried. Finally they walked out the room leaving me in complete silence.
( I was going to leave it there and let you suffer but I can't stand the thought of Iggy dead)
Iggy's POV
I don't know what happened after that but I woke up to find myself outside, as in, in the middle of nowhere!
I heard a groan beside me and saw Rebel sit up. "Where am I? Last I remember I was having a conversation with a mind-reader."
I raised my eyebrow. "You talked to Angel?"
She shrugged. "She wanted to know who shot you, I told her."
I looked up. "Well, all that matters now is getting answers. So any ideas on how we're alive?"
She thought about it then shook her head. She looked down to the floor. "What's that?" She pointed to a box that said "Iggy & Isis READ". Next to it were two backpacks.
I grabbed it and opened it there were files and a tape recorder in it. Rebel grabbed the recorder. She looked me in the eye. "Do I play it?"
I thought then nodded. "It's probably important or an explanation." She nodded and pressed the play button. A woman's voice came on.
"If you're listening to this then listen very carefully. We've decided to give you a chance to live; the papers in here are your new identities. You are now known as Ignatius and Isabel Fleming. 14 years old orphans.
Here are your instructions; in the box there is a map it takes you to Virginia, look for a woman named Anne Walker.
She'll help you, you will live with her and have a normal life but do not try anything stupid like contacting the flock we will be monitoring your ever movement. According to them you died here today and we intend to keep it that way. By contacting them you put yourselves and them in danger.
The operation preformed on your wings will help you appear normal and better conceal your wings. Under no circumstances can you reveal who you are to anyone normal.
Good look because the second we find you as a threat or you break one of our rules we will bring you back and kill you, all of you."
The recording stopped and we both looked at each-other without a word. I finally got the courage to speak. "What do we do?"
She stood and grabbed the box and stuffed it into one of the packs. "We do exactly what we were told if we want to live. We find this Anne lady and we try to live a normal life, without the flock."
She didn't meet my eyes. And I walked over to her and stood next to the other pack. "So that's it, we're going to listen to them."
I was an inch taller so she had to look up. "What do you want to do? Risk your family just to go against the School's wishes? Well I won't and if you're smart you'll come with me Ignatius." Her eyes changed from anger to pleading.
I sighed. "Okay Isobel, I'll come with you."
She gave me a small smile. "Thanks, Ig." She gave me a small peck in the lips before grabbing the first pack and walking away.
Like I said Next chapter is the Beggining of the Oc's so if you people have any others you want to give me I'll happily take them. And you don't have to answer the Kill question, i'm not killing any of them unless I made them.
