This is a really boring chapter but I needed a way to finish this so, sorry.
MR's not mine along with the submited Oc's.
Rebel's POV
I stared at the man that came through the door and stopped breathing. It was him, Jeb.
I looked over at Iggy to see that he was in shock. I decided to play innocent. "Um, can I help you?" to top it off I gave him a confused look.
He looked at all of us and nodded. "I'm looking for Isobel Fleming?"
I looked at Max and saw that her jaw was clenched. I raised my arm. "That would be me."
"Do you mind if we talk, in private." He added looking at Iggy.
I looked at Dr. Lanner. "Could you make sure they get to school." She nodded.
I walked out following Jeb. He walked into an office room and shut the door. I waited for him to say something but he didn't. So finally I spoke up. "What do you want?"
He sighed. "You have to leave. You know that you shouldn't be with the flock, according to the records Rebel and Iggy died to save Maximum Ride and her Flock."
"I know but technically they don't know who I am." I walked over to the desk. "Now is that all you came to tell me?"
He shook his head. "I came to warm you that the School doesn't know about you being here, not yet anyways."
I nodded. "Okay so we're safe."
He looked at me. "No you're far from safe, you work for the school now remember which means no matter what you have to listen to them; even if it means killing someone from the flock, or one of your friends, maybe even Iggy."
I shook my head. "They can't do that, we had a deal."
He nodded. "You HAD a deal, now it's broken. You're with the flock and Iggy's too close to them; they won't hesitate to send the Erasers after you and your family."
I put my head in my hands. "So, what do I do?"
"You and your family have to get out of here, as soon as possible. Give them some excuse but get out, and always keep your mind blocks on, Angel or Jag might sense something in your thoughts."
I shook my head. "I can't do that I don't want to lie to them anymore especially Iggy, what would he do if he found out." I sat down on the chair behind the desk and laid me head on the desk. "Maybe I should just spill and get it over with. It would be so much easier."
He contradicted me. "If you tell them now everything that you did will be for nothing. The Erasers will come after all of you and he'll die."
I lifted my head. "You're right but I can't leave, too many people know about me here. What would the School do to them if they found them?"
He looked concerned. "They'd be hunted down and killed unless they were young, then they would be used for experimentation."
I stood up. "Then I'm not leaving, not until everyone's safe."
Before he could say anything else I waked out of the office and headed back to my room. Max and Nick were in there waiting for me. As soon as I approached Max's eyes locked on mine. "What did he want?"
I shrugged. "Something about bird-kids and mutants in my school, I guess he's from the mental ward or something." I walked over to the bed. "He also talked about a mutant girl named Rebel. He said she was dead because of the great Maximum Ride." Technical I wasn't lying.
She looked guilty and I wanted to say it wasn't her fault but I kept my mouth shut. She turned away. "Is that all he wanted?"
I nodded. "That's it. I didn't give him a chance to talk anymore after I walked out."
Nick sighed. "Then we should probably go talk to him, see why he's here."
Max looked at him and nodded. "Yeah, we have no other choice." She turned to me. "If he told you anything else please, tell us."
I coughed. "He um, also said that next time we won't be so lucky."
Nick nodded. "But what does that mean?"
I looked down. "It means that the guy who got in our way did it on purpose, to hurt us. I know what you're thinking, if you stay we'll get killed but they know I know so we're in danger anyways so don't leave."
Max shook her head. "I don't know if we can stay, I mean what if more people find out?"
"No one else will find out, not from me at least." She looked at me still uncertain." Look it will look really suspicious if you leave now, at the beginning of school."
Nick sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it, you're right, we can't leave it will look too suspicious."
Max looked at him and finally nodded. "Okay, we'll stay for a bit longer." She turned to me. "But if you get hurt again we will leave."
"Okay, but you should get to school or home, if you feel like skipping." I went to sit down on the bed. "I on the other hand, need to find a way to get out of here. This place gives me the creeps. "
Max rolled her eyes. "You remind me of a bird-kid more and more every day."
Third Person POV
The subjects known as Max and Fang walked out of the hospital not saying anything. They walked to the van and got in, driving away.
The Eraser stood in the branch, not taking his eyes of them.
The plan was in motion; soon they would have the Flock. Even as he watched the van pull away he grinned, part one was complete now all they needed was the Director to give the girl the order to get rid of the new arrival.
After all, the deal did not say that Jaegar was part of the flock that the girl very much wanted to protect.
Max's POV
We arrived to school one hour late, when we finally did get to class I had trouble focusing on any class. Surprisingly the day went out really fast.
After school Fang and I offered to come with Ignatius to take Isobel home. She was already changed and waiting for us. As soon as she saw him she smiled. "Finally, I thought you'd never come." She stood from the chair in the corner and walked over to us. "I want to leave."
Fang raised an eyebrow. "Can you not stand a hospital?"
She gave him a 'no duh' look. "I hate the smells."
Ignatius wrapped his arm around her waist. "Do you think Anne will let you do the party?"
Isobel looked up at him. "We'll postpone it till next week."
Ignatius didn't say anything. She frowned. "I'll be better by then."
I saw how they looked more like a couple than brother and sister. I spoke up. "You two aren't really related, are you?"
Isobel looked at me and smiled. "Let me answer that question without words." She leaned into Ignatius and kissed him full on the lips. It wasn't just a small kiss it lasted so long that I thought they were going to suffocate from lack of oxygen.
They finally pulled apart and Ignatius was grinning. "Wow, we haven't done that in public since forever."
She rolled her eyes. "I've kissed you before, just not in public."
He grinned. "Yeah but when people think we're related they think you're single."
She looked at him again. "They think you're single too. It's like every girl that sees you drool all over you, there are only a couple of girls that don't check you out and those are my friends. Like Max, she has Nick."
I stared at her in shock. "How did you know that we're not related?"
She snorted. "Please, you don't look anything alike. I also see the way he looks at you and you look at him."
I blushed. "We don't look at each-other anyway."
Ignatius scoffed. "Really, you don't see it? How is that possible? You two are obviously in love."
Isobel shook her head. "Let's just leave, they'll figure it out soon enough."
He nodded and walked out; I looked at Fang and saw he was just as confused as I was. "What was that about?"
He shrugged. "Whatever it was, they both see it."
I heard giggling from the outside. "Will you please stop acting like little kids?"
Isobel walked back in wearing an innocent expression. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
I rolled my eyes but walked out of the room to the car.
Rebel's POV
"Come on Ig, let me put some good music." I asked for the tenth time from the back seat leaning in-between Max and Iggy who were in the front.
"Fine, just don't turn it all the way up." I extended my arm and grabbed a CD.
I played the first song: (My Immortal, Evanescence)
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
But if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have...all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face, it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice, it's chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have...all of me
All of me
All of me
All...
I sat back not wanting to listen to anything else anymore but not saying anything else. I thought about how much he meant to me, how close we were, how much I missed him. I closed my eyes and listened to the next song, blocking out the thoughts.
(My Last Breath, Evanescence)
"Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath?
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight.
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight.
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But still you wake and know the truth -
No one's there.
Say goodnight, don't be afraid
Calling me, holding me, as you fade to black.
(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself
(Holding me) Are my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight."
"Here we are." I looked out the window to see we were at Max's house.
Max and Nick get out of the car. "Hey Bel, are you going to be okay?"
I nodded. "Don't worry Max, I'll be fine."
She closed the door and walked to her door. Iggy pulled the car to the road. We didn't say anything on our way home, there was too much in my mind.
All I kept thinking was "I have to protect them, I'm not afraid to die for him, really die for him."
Last week's question:
MyNameIsNot :I'd say E other. I'd say "You're not the first to tell me this. But thanks for trying to be original."

Next Question: What do you prefer, Dogs or Cats?
