Helloooo people from other countries!!

I found the page where it shows you the people who are reading your story's location, and there are people in HONG KONG reading my story!! And SINGAPORE!! I went to Singapore when I was a baby and it was pretty awesome, judging from the pictures my mom took. Anyhoo, that it just SO COOL!!! I didn't expect so much traffic on my story!! Thanks to all my readers!!!

Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been reeeally busy and last night I had this thing I had to go to that lasted like five or six hours, so yeah. sorry for the wait!

AND, (this is sooo awesomely amazing!!!!) at my soccer game yesterday, the team we were playing against offered to let me be on their outdoor team!! it's so cool! there would be a ton of practices and games would be on Saturday a couple times so i'd have to skip those Sat. games and miss some practices cuz of basketball, but yeah!! i'm so excited!!! but the other thing is, i wouldn't be able to be on here as much, with all the practices and games and whatnot. but i'll work it out. gahh, i'm so EXCITED!!

But anyhoo, this chapter is pretty long, so I hope it makes up for lost time!! So, here's to my faithful reviewers (oh. Right. Umm, still not sure whether I'll continue Hand On His Heart. Which, if you haven't read already, you should read. But I probably will, just for my favoriters, alerters, and reviewers. Thanks so much!!)

And now--- ON WITH THE CHAPTERRR..........

FOR NARNIAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 10- For Sale: Voice in My Head. In Good Condition. Offer negotiable.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I broke away from Fang, and screamed.

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING BACK IN MY HEAD?! I mentally shouted at the Voice.

"Max?" I looked up. Fang was staring at me. I groaned and buried my face in my hands. "The Voice."

Fang narrowed his eyes. "It's back?"

I nodded, and he started pacing impatiently and giving me these concerned looks.

Well, if that's type of greeting you're going to give me, maybe I'll just leave and take my information with me, the said, sounding offended.

I groaned. No, don't go yet. You just caught me off guard.

Well, I can see that, the Voice chuckled. Okay, that was uncalled for.

Hey! I'm not the one who just left on vacation for three months to go sip some fruity little drinks with freaking umbrellas in them and watch girls

wearing coconut bras dance around me! I retorted. The Voice had told me before it left that it was going to Hawaii to find more information. Sure.

Voices get vacations before we do. What is this world coming to?

Max, Max, Max… the Voice sighed. When will you ever learn?

Learn what? I retorted. That psycho-idiot scientists are trying to take over the world? That there are hybrid freaks that are part wolf running loose

and killing people? That my family has to be in hiding to stay safe? That the world needs saving? Bet I know that a heck of a lot better than you do.

Max. I need you to pay attention closely. Trust me, you won't want to repeat this.

I groaned. Fine. But make it quick. I'm a little busy.

The Voice snickered. I can see that.

I gritted my teeth together. What. Do. You. Want.

A better question would be what don't I want, Max.

Fine. What don't you want.

All of a sudden, an explosion went off in my head, stronger than it had ever been before. Pictures, faces, names, buildings, random codes, and lots

of numbers flashed through my mind, sending spirals of pain angling every which way. I heard a blood-curdling scream and panicked.

Until I realized it was me who was screaming.

All I was aware of was the pain, the pain, the pain…Until I felt strong, ropy arms gather me up and hold me tight. Then, as suddenly as it had come, the

powerful, skull-wracking pain was gone. But what I had seen remained burned into my brain.

"Shhh, Max. It's ok. It's gonna be ok," I heard Fang say. No it wasn't. Nothing was okay. We had to leave now. I realized I was sobbing, and tried to stop, but

couldn't get control of myself. And, okay, I'll admit it, it scared me. Not being in control, not being the one with the whip in my hand. But all I could do was

cry, so I just kept bawling into Fang's black shirt, soaking it with tears.

Finally, after the big wet spot on the front of Fang's shirt where my head had been resting was almost dry, Fang spun me around to face him. "What was that?"

I took a deep breath. "The Voice sent it to me. It was like a brain explosion. But worse."

Fang ground his teeth. "Stupid freaking-"

"Fang." I touched his cheek. "it's ok. Actually, it's good. Now we know where to go, what we have to do. All that jazz. And we don't have to go see Jeb."

Fang sighed and looked down. Then he brought his face up to look at me again, his hair falling into his eyes, giving him a vulnerable little boy look. "I just- I don't want

you to have to go through that. Why not me? Why couldn't they have given me the Voice and brain explosions instead?"

"I don't know," I admitted. "I really don't know. But what I do know is that we've got to get back to the flock. We have to get out of here soon or else…" I realized how

close we were, him holding me tight to his warm chest, my head resting on his shoulder, and my haze from crying cleared. I jumped up awkwardly, brushed myself off, and

held out my hand to help him. But he just ignored it stubbornly, and pushed himself up.

"Okay. Whatever. Let's go." And with that, we were on our way back to the flock.

Man, I really hope this mission involves Hawaii…after the whole Antarctica thing, I could use some sun…

Oh, you'll just have to wait and see, Max.

But voices in my head? That I could live without.
