Hey guys, I'm updating a little early because I have time.

So here's the next chapter. I don't own Maximum Ride or the Oc's submitted.

Max's POV

"Hey Max, have you seen Bel?" standing in-front of me was a very worried Ignatius.

I shook my head. "She said she needed to get something from inside, that was half an hour ago."

Nudge came up to me. "Max, Jaegar's missing."

I looked at her. "Did he say where he was going?"

She shook her head. "He didn't say anything just left. He's blocking Angel from his thoughts."

Emma walked over to Ig. "She changed into normal clothes and left, Jag did the same and followed her. He told me not to say anything but I'm getting worried, she looked determined and kind of angry."

Ignatius looked to the woods. "We have to follow them; it's not safe out there."

I nodded. "He's right." By now everyone was around me. "But some of us need to stay here, in-case she returns."

Eddie, Jared, Sage, and Emma stayed. The rest of us split into two groups. Tony, JJ, Eli, Sky and Nudge went in one direction. Angel, Gazzy, Ignatius, Fang and I went in the other direction.

We took the forest and they took the road. It was ten minutes later that we heard a scream and I felt the pain in my head.


Rebel's POV

I looked at Jag who was standing right in-front of me. "Please Jag, I can explain."

"Then please do." He looked at the Eraser standing beside me.

I looked at him. "My family's in danger."

"How did you get involved in all of this in the first place?" He gestured to everything around us.

The Eraser snorted. "Involved she is but she's not a traitor, not really."

I turned around to face them. "Shut up, I am tired of all of you stupid mutts thinking you can boss me around. Well I got news for you the only one that can boss me around is the Director." The reality of my words sunk in, she owned me.

Before I knew what happened one Eraser was on the ground and Jag was on top of it, he had a knife in his hand, glowing blue. I was about to go after the other one when I felt a sharp pain in my scull and fell on my knees, screaming out.


Max's POV

The pain was horrible, I felt like my head was going to explode, I'd gone through this before after we found out Iggy was dead. That was the first time I also heard the Voice but this time it was worse because I felt like I was also feeling someone else's pain.

Suddenly I felt better and the pain was gone and Fang helped me up and I held on to him. "Max, are you okay?"

I nodded. "I'm fine. We need to find her and fast."

Angel pointed to the right. "The scream came from that direction."

I nodded and walked towards the direction with Fang's help.

We arrived in a clearing to see that Jaegar and Isobel were fighting. Isobel kicked Jaegar in the stomach but he blocked her and grabbed her ankle, Isobel jumped in the air and kicked him with her other leg causing him to fall.

Jaegar fell back and since he still had Isobel's foot in his grasp she fell back with him. She immediately got back up and tried to run away from him until he caught up to her and she tried to punch him.

That was when I noticed the guys on the floor, dead. Before I had time to stop the fight someone else did, Eli. He, Nudge and Sky were standing on the other side of the clearing.

He walked between both of them and pulled them apart. "Stop fighting, you two are supposed to be friends."

"I don't want to fight her." Jaegar stepped back for them. "She attacked me first."

"I will end you." She spat at him.

Before Eli could react she was on-top of Jaegar, he didn't even defend himself from her. She pinned him on the ground.

Eli pulled her back but she didn't fight it this time. Jag got up and looked at her. "I wasn't going to working for them, I didn't want in. you should have done the same."

She looked away. "That only gets you or your family dead. Take it from someone who knows."


Iggy's POV

She looked away. "That only gets you or your family dead. Take it from someone who knows."

Max stepped forward. "What are you talking about and why is there people dead over there?"

"Erasers," Jag looked over to the bodies.

Max looked at him. "Are there more?"

Bel looked up. "There's more" she stared at Jag "many more."

Eli stepped back. "Where?"

She looked down and nodded. "Not far, they probably heard everything."

I stepped up from behind Max and Nick. "We have to get out of here."

"Too late." Erasers came from all directions surrounding us. "She could have saved all of you but why would she."

She stepped forward already in tears. "That's not true, I tried – I really did – but they have too much control over me, I can't stop it." she ended the last words in a whisper.

I stepped back. "Don't." I looked her in the eyes. "You've been working with them?"

She looked down and nodded; the head Eraser gave an order. "Kill them, capture the Flock."

She looked back at me as the Eraser gave the final order. "Kill the humans at Walker's house, they know too much."

Before walking away she whispered. "I was made for destruction, people change like I did, for you. I was so stupid." SHe looked over at the head Eraser. "Don't kill them, it would look to suspicious if so many teenagers died today, just kill the humans."

They all walked off, following her. Once they left I turned to face everyone. "We need to get home, now."

Jag didn't look at us. "She attacked me." He looked at me. "After she recovered she attacked me."

We all ran as fast as we could and reached the house in less than a minute only to be witnesses of its destruction. A bomb went off and the house burst into flame, if people were it there it was too late.

The fire trucks arrived shortly after that and so did the ambulance, we explained that we were searching for a friend and we returned only to find the house like this. We told them that some of our friends where in the house.

That was when Jared arrived, he told us that Tony and the rest of the group came back and he thought of a place Isobel went to, everyone else stayed because the place was a secret to everyone except him.

He was the only survivor.

Wow I just realized I killed a lot of people in this chapter so I'm posting another chapter after this one, it will explain everything. (Please don't kill me before you read the next one; give me a chance to explain)

Last week's question: What is your favorite, earth, water, fire or air?

IggyIs4Me:Air because you need air to fly!

MyNameIsNot:If I had to pick, it'd be a tie between fire and air.

The Elfin Princess: I pick air, water, fire.

No question for this chapter, sorry. But there will be one in the next chapter. So it will be up shortly.
