Thanks to all of my faithful readers! :D You guys give me a lot of support. Keep on Flying.

Iggy POV

I was sitting in the living room alone. Nudge and Angel were in their room talking. Gazzy was out back (I have a bad feeling he was making something explosive). And Dylan was… not here. I didn't care if Dylan was here or not; he gave me the chills sometimes.

Max and Fang were still gone. It had been three days since Fang ran away and Max went to look for him. The pit of my stomach ached for the flock to be together again. I remember when the flock split up because Fang didn't want to be with Ari when Max brought him into the flock. Those were the worst weeks of my life. When part of the flock was gone, part of me went with it.

The small pitter patter of Angel's feet came into the living room. Her footsteps were so light that I thought it was Total for a second. Total was living in Arizona with Akila, his wife, with Dr. Martinez and Ella.

"Iggy." Angel kept her voice low, but her tone showed that she was excited. I craned my neck and looked in the direction her voice was coming from. Max found Fang! She shouted telepathically. I tried to talk to her through my head. The first couple of times I couldn't get anything, but I finally reached her! She said that she found Fang and that they were on their way. She didn't tell me this, but her thoughts said that Fang couldn't stay… She will explain it all when she gets here.

My eyes went wide. Max found Fang. They were coming. I jumped up from the couch and did a small victory dance. Angel laughed and hugged me. I felt whole again. They were still far, but I knew they were coming back. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face when a giant explosion came from the back of the house. Gazzy came running in; the smell of burning clothes was in the air. He frantically ran over to the sink and put out the fire that was probably engulfing his legs.

"What exploded?" I asked.

"A fuse caught on fire when I inserted it into the bomb." Gazzy sounded casual. This stuff happened all of the time for us. "I'm going to go put it out." He walked to the other side of the kitchen and grabbed something big and metal. I was guessing it was the fire extinguisher. I nodded and Gazzy walked out of the house.

"Oh brother…" I heard Angel mutter. I laughed as Nudge walked into the room.

"What did Gazzy blow up now?" Nudge sat down on the couch, but sighed as she saw an unopened soda can sitting on the counter. She stuck out her hand and the can went flying into it. Nudge's power to attract metal was awesome. She opened it and chugged half of the soda in a second.

"A fuse set on fire, setting off the bomb he was creating." I said. Angel and I sat down on the couch opposite from her. Angel turned on the TV and relaxed. About a half an hour later, Gazzy walked in and sat down by Nudge. If Max and Fang were here… we would be complete. They were on their way though. A small smile crept on my face as Angel leaned her head onto my arm.

I took a deep breath and looked at the flock, "Max found Fang. They are on—" I was interrupted by the front door flying opened.

"Hi, Dylan." Angel said coldly. I heard Gazzy go "Woah." From a few feet away from me. "What happened to you?" Angel squeezed my hand.

He is beaten up… Badly. My eyes widened.

"What happened?" I asked to him.

He shrugged off my question, "None of your business." I narrowed my eyes.

The hell it was my business.

I got up from the couch and walked into Dylan's room, "What the hell is going on with you?" I glared at his direction, hoping I was looking straight at him.

"Oh nothing." I could hear humor in Dylan's voice. Before I knew what was happening, I was being tackled to the ground. His finger poked me on the forehead. At first I was confused, but then I slowly slipped into unconsciousness.

Fang POV

We were flying so fast that my eyes were watering. The owl kids had no problem keeping up with Max and me because of their wings size, so we could make it back to the flock in less than an hour. I looked over at Max; she had a hard expression on her face. She needed to see the flock now. Not knowing what could be happening to them is killing Max. It was killing me too.

While we were flying we made a plan. The owl flock will drop Max and I off at the house in Colorado and then leave. We didn't want to risk them getting hurt. I would hide at the bottom of the porch as Max searched the house. Max was going to come out and tell me if they were okay or not. The flock was going to fly back with me to live in the cave with the owl flock. It was going to be difficult, but every part of my body ached to see the flock safe.

The house was about a mile away. We made it there in no time. All of us landed a couple hundred yards away from the house. Max turned to Hawk and hugged her.

"Thank you for everything. I will see you soon." Max had a forced smile on her face.

Hawk nodded. "Go. They need you. See you back at the cave." With a small smirk, Hawk, Xavier, Josh, and Janie took a running start and flew off into the sky.

Max and I looked at each other. We didn't say anything. I nodded and Max flew up to the porch of the house. I hid behind a beam that was holding up the porch and waited. Taking deep breaths, I leaned against the beam and waited for Max to come outside.

Max POV

Fang looked at me and nodded. I wanted to hug him, but I had to get to my flock now. Dylan could have gotten home before us. I jumped up into the air and started flapping my wings furiously. In seconds, I landed on the porch as quietly as I could. Slowly, I opened my door. Iggy craned his head and looked in the direction of me. I sighed in relief as his forehead creased.

"Max? Is that you?" He asked. I nodded and ran over to hug him. I got home first. Before Dylan. Tears were streaking down my cheeks.

"You're safe." I whispered. I heard a harsh laugh in my ear… It wasn't Iggy's laugh.

"I may be safe, but you're not." My eyes widened as Iggy's appearance changed into Dylan. Before I could do anything, Dylan's finger shot up to my forehead and injected me with that crap. I was unconscious, but I could still hear what Dylan was saying to me.

"Max, Max, Max." He said disappointedly. "I thought you were smarter than this. You simply walked right into my trap." His finger caressed my neck. "I guess I will throw you with your flock." Dylan picked me up and dragged me into the kitchen. He threw me onto the ground. I couldn't move, but I could see four other people that were on the floor next to me. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel lay on the ground. Rage rose inside of me, but I couldn't do anything about it.

Three other people walked into the kitchen and stood next to Dylan. They were whitecoats. One of them picked up Iggy and Nudge. Another picked up Angel and Gazzy. The other picked up me. Dylan looked at me; my eyes were still open for some reason. "You are going to watch me kill your little boyfriend." I couldn't reply. I tried using all of my might, but I couldn't move my body at all. I couldn't talk. I wanted to spit in his face, but I was paralyzed at the moment.

The two men carrying Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel walked out of the back door and lowered them down to a van that was waiting below. Fang has to see the van. Can't he? Dylan walked out of the front door and shapeshifted into me. Greif filled my body. He was going to go to Fang in my form. The person carrying me handed me to Dylan and Dylan flew down to the ground. Dylan waited for the person to climb down the ladder and he handed me back to the whitecoat.

Dylan gave me a sly smile and then started walking in the direction Fang was in. I wanted to cry out. I wanted to scream. Dylan would catch Fang off guard. Mine and Fang's plan was for me to come back out and tell him the flock's condition. Now Dylan was the one who was going to meet Fang.

"Stop…" It took all of my might to get the one word out. Dylan couldn't hear me. He was a couple feet away from Fang, who hadn't notice the whitecoat carrying me a couple hundred feet away. Fang gave a slight smile to Dylan and the pit of my stomach fell. He believed that Dylan was actually me.

Dylan was going to kill Fang and I was sitting here, unable to do anything.
