MAX'S POV

The morning sun had woken us up from our spot sleeping on the rough stick-covered ground, and we were all packing to head towards New York. Fang and I though were quietly talking to each other.

"What do you thinks gonna happen next?" I asked.

"I don't know, but whatever does happen, I'll be here for you. I promise." And suddenly it seemed as if I just noticed his endless obsidian eyes, and how mesmerizing they looked. But, then we were leaning in, my lips dangerously close to his. Wait! What am I doing? Should I be kissing him? You love him, you even said it! Why are you hesitating? my lips greeted his in a sweet and slow kiss. His hands pressed against the small of my back, and my hands found their way to his jet black hair. "I love you" his breath tickled my neck that sent shivers down my spine. His hands traveled up and down my back, but in a split second my vision turned black.

The same vision occurred the last time I had one with the numbers and café except this time there was another building, mostly one-way glass with an unusual architecture. There were plants growing up the sides in a heap and broken down windows with cracked walls.

I was suddenly aware of the new surrounding. Fang took charge. "Sia, you and Luke have to hide." They both scrambled off deeper in the woods and thankfully, didn't ask any questions. Once I turned around the erasers had already shown up, more than I could possibly begin to count. I noticed, though that these erasers were different. Instead of the usual brown dirty eyes they had vibrant red eyes, and instead of the sharp-toothed mouth they had even more aggressive man eating sharp crooked teeth . All of the flock had been captured. Clasped into the grips of the venomous looking hairy creatures.

"Max! Get out of here, quick hurry!" I didn't have time to process what Fang said because the eraser holding him swiped out a razor sharp knife, aiming it at him

"W-wh-" I couldn't run either, I was trapped. Something furry and sharp was clawing into my arm. Everything went all to fast. The knife plunged into Fang, and there was red. A lot of red. I was screaming but no one could hear me, as if I didn't exist. Instead only a white noise enveloped around me. "Noooo!" I was trapped into a transparent box, pounding my fists. I screamed even louder desperately waiting for someone to hear me, until I couldn't hear myself anymore. There, he lay lifeless no life left in his eyes, nothing but plain, dark, swirling emptiness. My body slumped to the floor in a heap as if the life was stripped from me as well. I didn't notice the other flock members wailing either only him and his now collapsed pale form.

"Please. Please. Don't leave me." And then it seemed as if those words could be worth something even if no one could hear me, because the happiness inside of me was no more. So there I sat on the rough, cold hard ground. I couldn't see. I couldn't hear. I couldn't speak. I couldn't breathe

LINEBREAK

Tap. Tap. "Hey" Tap. "Hey leader person, your-what's it called again?" An unfamiliar voice clouded my hearing, until another distant unfamiliar voice came into hearing range. "Flock, I think"

"Oh yeah, your flock wants you to come and eat, they're downstairs checking out."

Luke and Sia. Cold beads of sweat covered my body and I woke up breathing hard. The flock? Everyone's still alive. It was just a dream. What did this dream tell me? Why did I have this dream? Did it mean someone was going to die? Did it mean Fang was going to die? Fang just then came in the room. Grabbing my bag of supplies, he noticed I was awake.

"Hey, you're okay" His face turned into one of relief and smirked. A smirk that made my heart stutter.

"Yeah, um what exactly happened?" I asked noticing the simple white abstract pattern on the blinding comforter. Coming in the room, Iggy answered.

"You and Fang were making out and then you passed out- probably a vision, I assume. My face turned beet red, but I nodded at the vision thing.

"What did you see this time?" Fang asked concerned.

"Nothing much new, just a building that I don't recognize. It really looks run down."

"Could it be Itex?" Fang questioned

"I don't know, maybe. It's all pretty confusing." Fang nodded in understanding and kissed me on the forehead before leaving the room to go meet with the flock, as did the others. My fingers pressed the place Fang has kissed and I savored the moment.

I got up to take a shower and got all of the dirt and grime off my hair and body from yesterday until I was clean. I put on an outfit that Nudge had picked out for me from the mall a couple of days ago, and set out for me to wear. This concluded of a white knit sweater from American Apparel, black leggings, and floral Dr. Martens.(A/N-you can still look fashionable while on the run-right?)

Once we've all finished getting dressed from our stay at the closest Quality Inn, we went to the nearest coffee Shoppe called Abraco Espresso, to get something to eat, and then figure a little bit about this corporation that was apart of Itex, the NFOL, that Fang's dad was talking about. Fang started looking this up when I sat down. The first result came up to be a new life form found in Cali. The next result was a testing unit for medicines, but the third link caught my eye. I asked Fang to click on the link and information popped up on the screen. The name called The NFOL genetic testing agency. I scanned the screen, as did the others. "Mixed embryos, containing human and animal genetic material to be used in research into possible cures for a range of diseases…zeroed in on human genetic makeup implanted into animal embryos…injecting human stem cells into the body of monkeys.

"Monkeys? More like human monkeys." I snorted. The screen flashed and spazzed out of control until a lud beeping sound emitted from the computer earning disapproving stares from other customers. Until the computer crashed and we were taken back to the starting screen.

"What just happened?" Gazzy questioned. Shrugging in response Fang logged back on and looked for the link there before that was no longer. Instead he clicked on the next link below that looked susceptible. The title read NFOL Truth Revealed.

"Hey look here" Fang pointed at the lower section of the screen and I began to read.

"The secret research was revealed after a group of scientists from Biotech University were suspicious of this particular testing and worried it would go to far…Students from Biotech found dead weeks later… "How'd they get these monkeys?, says Linda Walter from The Department of Bioengineering in New York, "what or who were they testing." No scientist working could pinpoint what medicine they were testing foor. I read the next article down

"building allegedy closed due to financial illegal testing problems…CEO of corporation denied questioning. So we learned that NFOL is actually not in Itex, but a separate laboratory. At the bottom of the page there was a phone number and an address like Sia and I had envisioned. Could this possibly be the place I saw in my vision. What about the café I saw though?Hopefully this is the place where Luke and Sia's little sister, Melanie is. Because The NFOL is definitely not shut down.

MELANIE'S POV

Thump. Thump. I was so scared. The bad people in the white coats have been making me run miles around a maze, but now I'm back in my cage. It was cold silence in the room except for a unidentifiable six year old boy next to me that was whacking his new engineered tail against the wrought-iron cage. Mommy and daddy said that they had to do what was right and they would come back to get me from this place, but they never did. I had a lot of hope. Mommy said to always have hope, but right now I'm not sure if I should have any, anymore. Right when I was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, I noticed one of the hairy wolf-like creatures had a key in his pocket, and was standing on the right side of my cage.

I hesitantly crawled towards the creature and stretched out my bruised and battered arm. My fingers almost had the key, so I stretched some more. I had it! But, right when I was pulling my hand back, my arm banged against the iron cage and the keys clattered towards the ground and emitted a loud ringing noise. The big, hairy wolf turned around, a sickly smile spread across his grotesque face. Oh no! I clambered towards the back of my cage, till the skin of my back touched the cold hard metal. The cage door threw open, and the creature roughly gripped my left ankle, and whipped me over his shoulder. I was suddenly bursting into tears. Where was Sia? Where was Luke? I need them.

MAX'S POV

So here we were. Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, Luke, Sia, and I walking in the streets of New York on eighth avenue, looking for any minor signs to the building I saw in my vision and the numbers Sia and I had envisioned. But seeing as we were in New York, that would be harder to accomplish. I had come up with the plan, since we didn't know where Itex was, we start with the pictures in my vision with the coffee Shoppe and the numbers which I think is the street number. We started off looking on the main streets of New York and finally Fang decided that we should look further out then the main streets, because Itex tries to be discreet about their buildings. We go further out side of the main streets of New York and into a dirty and musky part of town. There, we see many homeless people, graffiti covered beat up buildings, gum covered sidewalks, cracked streets, and vandalized shops. Suddenly I hear a scream. I looked towards all of the members of our group and realized there was one missing, Angel.

There was a man about 6' tall, with a face you couldn't see at all covered by a hood making him look more horrific than he or she should've. There was a flash of black. The hooded figure squeezed Angel so she couldn't breathe. I gave Fang a glance. He seemed rock stiff, a deadly glare set on the figure. Not thinking, I lunged toward the figure, but Fang jumped in front of me pushing me back. I was now really angry at fang. Why would he do that? Why did he want that man to take her? Only then did I realize the hooded figure was carrying a knife, like in my dream, but instead of Fang it was Angel in the grasp of the murderer. But it was seven against one. We could take him.

PLEASE REVIEW, I'd like to know if I should make any changes with this story and I LOVE suggestions!
