Does anyone else have a problem with FF not bolding, italicizing, or underlining their A/Ns? I did all three and not one of them worked last chapter for the end of the chapter.

Anyways. I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever. I've been prepping for NaNoWriMo and haven't had any time. But I felt guilted into writing this chapter because-

Fang: You won't be updating again until sometime in December.

Me: Yeah…unless I win early. And this chapter is kinda suckish. I apologize for this.

Anyways, shout-outs to: galeprimrue and Sierra156.

Fang walked back with us, still acting strange. He offered to carry Ella (which I declined), but was acting very unusual. He had this weird smile plastered on his face, and when he talked, his voice sounded different. As we neared the stairs, he started rambling. "This is a test, isn't it? All of this is a test. Yep, it's definitively a test." I looked at him sadly. What have they done to you, Fang?

When we met up with everyone on the middle floor, Fang eyed his gang with distrust. He turned around and whispered. "Max – either one of you – would you mind telling me who these people are? Are they part of the test?"

I sighed. "I'll explain later," I whispered back. "Wait. Can you still go invisible?" He nodded. "Good. Do it."

I turned to the rest of the Flock. "Guy's let's head outside, and we'll go over what we found." I received no rejections, and we headed outside, Fang still invisible. The moment we stepped out of the building, I felt Fang's presence beside me.

"This…this isn't a test, is it?" He whispered. I shook my head. He didn't respond again. Finally, I had my Fang back.

We positioned ourselves on the ground. "Report. What did you guys find?"

Not surprisingly, Nudge spoke up first. "Oh my god, Max, we found all these tables and offices and desks, but all the drawers were empty, there was nothing in them, it was like totally creepy, and I felt the people sitting there that there were important subjects or something here, I wonder what they were, but we didn't find anything else." Yes, that was one sentence.

"Ditto," Star said once she was sure Nudge was done.

"Just empty board rooms," Kate commented.

"There was nothing on our floor at all," Gazzy complained, disappointed not to find anything. "Everything was cleared out."

Maya started speaking for us. "We found a lot of cages, mostly full of dead experiments."

I picked up from where she left off. "But, we found Ella-" I pointed to the body I had laid down beside me (which incited Iggy to sigh), "-and Fang." The moment I said his name, he stepped forward. The Flock gasped. Before anyone had the time to say anything, the building behind me exploded.

(A/N):

Me: God F******g D***it! No F******g power! A F******g snowstorm in F******g OCTOBER?

Fang: …I apologize for…him.

Me: I need power! No power means no Fanfiction, no Internet, no TV, no… NO SCHOOL! I may actually have a chance at NaNoWriMo now. Well, later guys. I'll post this sometime in November I guess.

Fang: And then not again until December.

Me: *shrugs*
