A/N: Yes, sorry the last one was short. I didn't have a lot else to say for that chapter and i wanted to build a bit of suspense for you.

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum ride, the flock or any other characters here, only my plot.

Max POV

Max, Angel shouted at me through her mind, she couldn't have said it out loud, as she was gagged, and her hands and feet were bound together.

I stood starring at my baby for a second, how on earth could they do this to her?! To them, to my flock, i realized as the others came into view, i desperately looked around to see if there were any others with them, but no luck, no mom, no Ella. If they had hurt them, if anything happened i didn't....i couldn't....it didn't bear thinking about, i had lived long enough without them to loose them this soon.

As i ran to untie the flock i sent thoughts to Angel to explain everything to me, as i decided it was best these things weren't said aloud, no doubt they were watching us somehow now.

The Erasers brought us here Max, they took Fang. I don't know where he is! She was in tears as she described this. It was so scary, they hurt my wing Max, i don't think i can fly.

I paused, this could be a problem, i didn't know if i was strong enough to carry Angel, but it was worth a try, and i carried on untying at a faster speed. I was alreasy behind schedule, if i was going to save Fang, but i needed Angel for this. As soon as i had Angel and Gazzy were untied, i gave him the job of unying everyone else and heading to the north east of the island, he should be able to navigate from there, and i cradled Angel tightly in my arms and took off from the cave entrance towards Fang.

Angel, do you think you're sill strong enough to swim down there and find Fang? I can't breath underwater like you, if there's no sign of him, ask the fish. Angel had gained powers recently enabling her to breathe underwater as well as talking to the fish.

Yes, Max, i'll try. That was my strong little Angel, though she eyed the water worriedly, as if terrified for Fang. Yeh, me too Angel. I agreed, and with that dropped her into the watery depths below.

I don't think i managed to take a breath the whole time Angel was under, my eyes searched in terror until a few minutes later when Angel's head popped up and i swooped to get her, still no Fang, i thought worriedly. Angel had tears in her eyes and looked terrified when i lowered her to the rocks, the sand was entirely covered in water now.

"Max, he's gone! He's not here," she sobbed. I let out a breath i didn't know i was holing yet again, it must be good if he wasn't there right, i mean, he wasn't...well he couldn't have drowned at least. But then the worry set in, where was he? A pain clutched my heart, my Fang, where could he be? Just then the rest of the flock landed about 5 feet away and ran over to join us and Angel filled them in, still sobbing quietly. I was, for possibly the first time ever, at a loss of what to say, i was lost, i needed Fang to tell me what to do.
