We had found a nice empty forest and settled down, having more room to sleep than a medium sized dog crate. It was one of the only peaceful times we have slept.

Well, actually, Fang and me stayed up.

"No, seriously, Max. Where are we going?" Fang asked me quietly.

"I don't know. Do you still have those papers you stole?"

"Yeah." He took out the crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me. I unfolded it, and silently read it.

Operation Silver Wing

Objective: Create a non-sick, healthy, avian hybrid filled world. Retire all who do not cooperate.

Profile Of Subject Needed:

Subject: Nine

Description and Instructions: Subject nine is our best creation so far. She must be taken for DNA samples. Clone her DNA, and use it to put in every other full human.

Name: Monique

I looked up from the paper.

"You don't think they could be talking about Nudge, do you?"

"Well, it would make sense if it was."

"So, Nudge is, like, the main object in their plan?

"I guess so."

I stared blankly at the paper. I shouldn't have guessed that after we escape we wouldn't be hunted down. But I wasn't important to them. Probably none of the flock except for Nudge was important anymore.

"We need to run." I whispered, almost silently. "We need to get away from here and escape from their reach."

"No, we have to take them down!" Fang said sternly. "How are we supposed to run from them? They have guns and Erasers, and no doubt there is more branches all over the place."

I hesitated. "Well, that actually proves my point. We are six kids, and they are hundreds of full-grown adults. With guns. How are we supposed to take them down?"

"You got me there…" Fang murmured. I looked at him, and he knew that I was asking 'Any other plans?' He shook his head.

"Great. So we're stuck?"

"Yep."

In the morning, I had told the minimum of what we figured out last night. Just that they needed Nudge.

"Yay! I'm special!" Nudge squealed happily.

"Uh, no yay, Nudge. That's bad for us." Iggy said.

"Aw…" She stared at the ground.

"Basically, we need to run." I said.

Fang cleared his throat. "But we also need to destroy them."

"So, we need to run from them and fight off anything they throw at us. That's our plan." I finished. No one looked completely sure of it, though.

"Come on, guys, buck up!" I encouraged. They still looked doubtful. I sighed, and sunk into the mood that everyone else was. "Whatever. Let's go."

We took off and flew the opposite way that the School was. The farther we were, the better. But who knew, that might only get us closer to another branch.

So, yeah. That's what was happening. Any questions?

A/N: Oh, crap. I just remembered about something else that was called silver wings or golden wings or something like that. If it is copying something that you know of, please tell me! R&R, because reviews make the world go round! ^_^
