Hey guys,
Sorry for the wait, my dad broke the laptop. You basically can't see anything on the screen and that is where I have everything stored for my stories so yeah, that's what's up with the delay but I've sucked it up and managed to get on the other comp which my dad has been hogging to write this chapter. Review and Enjoy!

Half way, we were only half way frigging there!? How could six hours of flying only have us half way to Alabama? After Max had recovered from her brain attack as she called them she explained about the voice. One of the pictures that were shown in her head had a sign saying Alabama on it then a building by a forest plus some co-ordinates.
We were now in the state of Kentucky and had to stop as nightfall was rapidly approaching. We had been flying all day and we were all dead tired. Angel and Nudge had pulled out the big guns and produced bambii eyes and crocodile tears onto Max while circling her singing please until her resolve crumbled and she agreed to a hotel for the night.
We had got two adjoining rooms, boys in one and us girls in the other. Max plopped down on the couch beside me after tucking in the others who were now all asleep in their respective beds. They were all squeaky clean though who knew how long that would last. The TV was on mute in front of us, some romance movie that didn't interest me in the least. I knew that I wasn't the only one not watching it.
I picked up the remote and switched it off watching the screen go black.
"If you want to say something to me, you don't have to sit pretending to watch TV." I said while chancing a glance at her face before looking at the black TV screen again. Max's mouth was open in shock.
"How did, I mean how did you…?" she trailed off leaving the question out there. I tapped my head as understanding dawned in her eyes.
"You never told me what the deal was with you and Jake." Max told me, I knew it would come up eventually. If I wanted Max to trust me then I would have to grin and bear telling the truth. Why was the truth so hard?
"I…love him, as much more than a brother. We've grown up together so I know everything about him, and he knows everything about me." I paused for a moment before continuing on, "There are two things I regret in my life, one is not telling him I love him and now I might never be able to which is why I was pressuring you into telling Fang." I explained as best I could.
At least now she understood.
"What's the second thing you regret?" she whispered to me scared to wake the kids. I said nothing, I just sat there looking down until she got up and went to bed then just before she was asleep I whispered the answer,
"Leaving him there to die."

The sun was rising over the trees. I had taken the last watch at the hotel. I was sitting on the roof watching the yellow glow cover everything declaring that morning had come and wasn't leaving for a while. I stood up dusting off my jeans and went back through the window touching each girl on the shoulder to wake them up before heading into the boy's room.
I opened the door to greet blackness. I ran my hand along the wall until I came to a light switch. My hand lingered on it for a moment before I flicked it into the on position causing the boys to sit up and rub there eyes.
"Is it morning already?" Gazzy mumbled getting up and going straight into the bathroom.
Iggy was up and moving to the kitchen to start on breakfast as I left the room nodding at Fang as a greeting to which he nodded back. Wow, I'm starting to sound like Fang.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So everyone is clear on the plan?" Max asked zooming past me to the front of the formation we had going. We had had breakfast and had just entered Alabama.
A chorus of nods came from everyone as we flew towards a forest very close to the Gamma institute that held Jake.
"We will get him back you know?" Max told me flying beside me as we got closer.
"Yeah, I know." I smiled as the wing ruffled my feathers. It was nearly time to put the plan into action.
As we got close to the forest we could see the building up close. It looked like a jail but I guess that was what it was in a way, but instead of the bad people behind bars, they were the ones putting the innocent in.
Well here we go. All of us spiralled down into the forest landing not to far from the gates but still far enough away they wouldn't have noticed. I started off in the direction of the gates but could only take one step before someone's hand was on my shoulder stopping me. I turned around.
"Max needs to ask you something before we go in." Fang said casually before letting go of my shoulder.
"The flock and I have decided we want to ask you, would you like to be a member of our flock family?" Max asked me. Everyone had grins on their faces except Fang because he doesn't do that type of thing.
"If Jake can too…then I'm in." I answered; no way would I join if Jake couldn't.
"Then let's do this thing."
