AHHHH! It's been soooo long! I'm so sorry guys, I've been occupied with other social events that don't involve a computer.
But get ready to wait like this more often and maybe even longer because in a couple of weeks, school is coming back! *HIDES UNDER BED COVERS*
Hopefully this chapter will entice you to read more of my other loverly short stories or just disgust you to the pit of your stomach.
Let's pray you choose the first option.
Enjoy and let the words begin!

Chapter 9- Soul Swapping Fun
Nudge's POV
Geez, I hope Ella is going to be alright.
Poor Iggy. He looks so worried about her. Oh wait, I have a suggestion!
"Give her mouth to mouth Ig!" Oh crap. I was supposed to only think that, not say it aloud.
Great, now Iggy's giving me weird looks.
Gazzy rolled his eyes, as he was slouching on a set of rocks, leaning on most of them.
Angel was clutching Total to her arms, as she was tapping her feet on the dusty ground, trying to amuse herself.
But I could sense that she wanted Max and Fang by her side.
A smile spread across Iggy's face suddenly, exclaiming "Sweet, she's coming to!"
"Oww…"
Man, forget about Iggy. Poor Ella. She looks like a truck ran over her- so to speak, of course.
Gazzy POV
Finally she was awake. Now we can get onto saving Max and Fang! Yeah I know, I'm sooo sweet.
"Ella. Ella, can you hear us?" Angel asked ever so sweetly.
"Guys? Wha- what happened?" Was all that she could reply.
Iggy lay her head on a few rocks and the rest of us gathered around her.
"Not to close." Iggy quickly stated.
All of us nodded and Total came up to her face and licked her cheek gently.
Without warning, Ella opened her eyes rapidly.
That's when she converted from not being alive, to a high pitched scream.
Well, there goes my fully-functional brain.
Max's POV (5 mins before Ella's scream)
The icy darkness was beginning to melt away slowly.
Max, you have to wake up now.
Was that The Voice? You think I would be able to recongize it by now, but noooooo.
Please wake up Max. Your family needs you.
Wait, I was asleep. Or even worse; knocked out or unconscious. My family… Mum and Ella are in trouble?
"Please Max. Wake up." My thoughts trailed off to a familiar voice. A crying voice. Was that Fang?
"Just wake up Max. Just hold me."
Well that was all the motivation I needed to make me to try to get up from this dark and black world. Hmm… Fang would like it here.
I forced myself to make my eyes flutter open and then-
Still in Max's POV
My body felt different somehow. More lighter yet it felt weird but better. Is that even possible? Great, now I'm asking myself questions. As if I wasn't insane enough.
The last thing I remember was seeing bright flashes of Fang and then... nothing.
Now there was a cool autumn breeze in my hair… and is that Iggy staring at me?
"Thank God you're awake Ella."
Ella? Excuse me delusional child, I'm Max. I know we're sisters but seriously, he should be able to tell us apart!
"How are you feeling?" He asked, sincerely.
"Umm… okay I guess…" My voice trailed off when I noticed something strange.
My hand gently came around to touch my back.
It was flat. My back had no wings. Just when I thought the needles were enough. Freakin' Whitcoats.
I know saw Nudge, Gazzy and Angel appear from the corners of my eye. Thank God they were alright. But was I alright? Now that's the question of the century everyone.
And were the hell was I anyway? Why wasn't Fang here.
I suddenly felt a sense of depression watch over me.
But why did Iggy just call me Ella?
Then I sense of realisation. Oh mother f-
"AHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, when from the corner of my eye Total was clasping his ears.
I noticed how my voice sounded particularly Ella-like. Well sort of, anyway. She barely screams. I WAS Ella. Oh great, what will I tell mum.
First, to tell the Flock what had happened.
"Geez Ella, don't scare me like that. I thought we were going to lose you."
"I am not Ella… ow!" Stupid rocks acting as stupid pillows.
"Well then," Iggy continued. "you're costume would be great for Halloween."
Ugh. I would've smacked him upside the head if I wasn't feeling dizzy and a bit sick.
Now let me tell you I never joke around when it comes to smart-arse people.
My eyes narrowed down as I looked around at my Flock.
"I'm Max, you idiot!" I snapped at Iggy.
Gazzy raised an eyebrow quizzically at me and just stayed silent.
I realised what I'd said and tried to calm down.
"Sorry." I peeped out.
"So, you're seriously Max?" Iggy asked quickly.
What does he want me to do, a pop quiz?
I nodded in reply and he just stared at me once again.
"Okay then Max- if I told you that my parents were about to-?"
I couldn't help it, I finished his sentence. "Sell you as a circus-mutant freak and publicize you all over the world. Yeah, I got that."
Nudge and Angel giggled silently and I smiled at hearing them do so.
"So I guess you are Ella." Iggy murmured to himself, sounding annoyed.
"But how…"
"Don't ask me! Do you think I have a book on How-To-Incant-Spells-On-Soul-Swapping?"
"Ooh yeah, that's definitely Max." Gazzy interrupted.
I rolled my eyes and started to think logically.
That is until it hit me where Fang had been for the past couple of hours.
"We have to get to Itex." I explained calmly, but with potency in my voice. "They're trying to force me and Fang to…"
My voiced trailed off at that thought. Those sick bastards.
Four pairs of eyes were all on me to end my sentence. (Okay, five if you count the dog)
It's for your own good Maximum.
I almost groaned allowed because well let's face it, the Voice was a big huge knife-stabbing pain in the butt.
Stop trying to deny it. You and Fang we meant for each other.
I shot back at it with all my frustration into my thoughts.
Maybe meant for each other- but not meant to be on top of each other!
Ugh, okay. I never should've thought that.
"Max? Are you okay?" Nudge said, looking concerned. "You forgot to finish your sentence. 'They're trying to force me and Fang to…' "
I slapped my hand to my forehead and sighed deeply. Hopefully Angel wasn't reading my thoughts.
Angel looked confused and curious. "The whitecoasts want you and Fang to WHAT?!"
Ah crap. She read my thoughts. At least she doesn't know what it is-God, I hope not. Note to self: Talk to Angel about giving people unexpected mind-invasions.
Guess there's no point hiding it now.
"Well… they want me and Fang to…well-it's-it's nothing really, but-"
"Max, what's intercourse?" Angel asked, smile on her face and all.
Iggy's eyes widened to the size of the sun as Gazzy literally dropped to the floor with shock on his face.
Nudge was just standing there silently which really freaked the hell out of me.
"Please guys, just say something!" I urged at my Flock.
"THAT IS SICK AND WRONG!" (AN: A line from a story by Fligglebobbin) Iggy shouted finally.
"Ahh… nooo! Mental image! Go awaaaaayyy!" Gazzy flung his hands from side to side to try to remove the image from his mind.
"Oh, you're all sooo sympathetic." I muttered to myself.
Nudge finally spoke and I was a little reassured. "Wait, Max and Fang, or Ella and Fang?"
Ah, screw me being reassured.
"Me and Fang." I had almost forgotten I was in Ella's body.
"Okay guys, we got a lot of flying to do. Up and away!"
Angel and Nudge tried to contain their laughing habits, but weren't doing a good job.
"Max, you're Ella. You don't have wings." Gazzy retorted. "And if you would that would be very surprising."
I narrowed my eyes at him. But he was right.
"So now what, Iggy has to carry me?" I tried to suggest sarcastically. Unfortunately for once, my sarcasm was right on the ball.
Iggy smirked at me as he tried to pick me up.
"Oh no way! I'm not flying with you!"
"Don't worry Max, Ella's body is really light. And Iggy enjoyed last time he carried Ella." Angel said sweetly.
"I'm sure he did…" I snorted as I walked to him.
Iggy ignored the comment and my Flock snapped out their wings.
"Okay, what do I do?" I asked, unsure of myself. I tried not to flinch as Iggy started to lift me up.
I've never been carried up before except when Erasers of Flyboys were putting me in the back of a truck and tying me up with rope, so excuse me for being so tense.
"Just put your arms around my neck." I swear Iggy nearly chocked when he said that.
"Damn, this already sucks."
Ella's POV
Okay, I am in Max's body. It's okay. I'm alright. No, I'm not alright. I don't usually get this jittery unless something bad has happened.
Oh- right.
"Could you please stop muttering to yourself." Fang leaned against the white wall. He wasn't to pleased with the situation either, considering we were still stuck in Itex.
"Sorry." I said lamely. I noticed a dark shadow coming through a door.
Okay, maybe mum was right. Max better get her butt down here soon. Or me. Or- ugh, this is confusing.
Fang's eyes were now on alert, ready to face whatever fate is befalling him.
I however had a different approach to facing fear. Trying to avoid it.
The man- or Whitecoat as Fang would say- almost power walked over to the spot where Fang was leading.
He smiled a cocky smile and said, "You to lovebirds ready to experiment."
Eww, eww, eww! I thought. Max, where are you?
"Not really. Are you ready to get your ass kicked?"
That only made the Whitecoat laugh. "I was hoping you would say that. Because this is the best part of my job."
Milliseconds after that had been said, the Whitecoat shot out a needle and dug it into Fang's skin.
I gasped and turned my head. I can't stand the sight of blood. This probably doesn't look good, especially in Max's body.
She would be brave and strong and try to stop him. But me- whatcha gonna do?
When I turned back I saw that the Whitecoat was gone.
I ran over to Fang as he didn't look all that good.
"Oh my gosh Fang, are you okay?"
He came inches to meet my face and smirked.
I actually nearly laughed. Why the heck was he smiling.
But before I had time to ask him that, he leaned forward and kissed me.
