Okay. So I got 11 freaking reviews for last chapter. Eleven freaking reviews. I seriously might cry. Eleven. For. One. Chapter. I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

But a special shout out goes to Heart the Squid because she reviewed more than half of those ten reviews. So she is awesome and deserves like ten Iggy cookies. Why? Because reviewers are awesome-er than celebrities. They are cool man. So yeah, and now I'm ranting. J

Disclaimer: There is no way that I could possibly ever own Maximum Ride. Why? Because Maximum Ride was written by James Patterson. He is a man. I am a girl therefore I cannot be the author.

Iggy POV:

The sad thing was about all of this, the strange encounter with the man, was that he was absolutely correct. They did punish me. They punished me hard.

How today started: I can't tell you how it exactly started seeing as I didn't sleep. I spent all night running laps around the overly large rat maze. After two hundred and eleven laps (which had to have been a morbid number of miles, even with wings) I collapsed. Now I'm being shuffled into my cage. Apparently I've out grown that too. I can't even stretch without slamming into the cold metal bars.

I closed my eyes. Finally I could drift into a soft sleep. Mmmmm …..

But that would be too simple wouldn't it? Suddenly I was being shaken awake by a scientist who managed to reach his grubby hands into the cage.

"Wakey wakey you little piece of filth. Mr. Murphy would like a word with you. Or a needle . . ." He chuckled. His voice was ugly. Have you ever heard someone with a disgusting voice? When your blind you can't really be all that judgmental on looks, but you can be with the sound of voices. That sound told me he was trouble. Course, what with being a white coat and all, you probably could have guessed that.

I groaned and reluctantly followed the horrid sounding man. He shoved me into a small room about three minutes later. From then on I was shoved and strapped to one of those beds at doctors offices.

"Ah Iggy. Nice of you to join us again." It was that man, the man who first greeted me when I first came to the horrid school. I guess his name was Mr. Murphy. I'm calling him that from now on.

I couldn't think of anything to reply, so I just kinda sat there. Then he began to strap me in and cut off my circulation once again.

"Iggy. I need to you listen carefully." He murmured in my ear. I knew what he was going to say. He was going to ask me where Max was. He was going to torture me if I didn't.

"Iggy, what I'm about to do to you may possibly be the most painful thing you may ever endure. It may possibly be the most painful thing anyone of your flock members have ever endured. I can promise you one thing though, dearest freak. If everything turns out right, you'll never be the same." Mr. Murphy said in all seriousness.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that one. Not at all actually.

-George is mad at me, I haven't updated in a while-

Fang's POV:

It had been less than twenty four hours since my brother was taken from me. I still couldn't believe it. I wouldn't dare try to.

We were on our way, however. The flock and I had flown for a good six hours after dropping off Ella and her mom. The sad thing was we were only assuming that we were heading to the right School. If there were more than one School and Iggy wasn't in the one we were going for, we were all screwed.

"Come on everyone! I'm sorry to rush anyone. I know that this is difficult and tiring but we need to pick up the pace." Max yelled out.

Our leader was a strong one. I looked over at her. It's pretty hard to imagine her to only be fourteen. That was the scary part sometimes. If she's this determined now, what will she be like in ten years? Maybe she really will save the world.

"Fang?" Angel intersected in my mind braking my thoughts on Max.

"Huh?" I responded.

"There's something I've got to tell you."

"What is it sweetie?"

I looked over at her. The sun and the warm air seemed to float around her. Gosh she was so perfect. Not to sound too girly, but to me she is the most precious little six year old pretty much ever. That's all I can see her as. But as I study her face more, she looks as if she was in tears.

"Angel, what aren't you telling me?"

"Fang, I think I've developed a new power. I just haven't told anyone because I thought it was pretty useless."

"Fang I can feel a persons life force. It's like if I get close to someone I can feel it always. I can feel yours, Max's, the whole flock. Even Jeb's and Ella's."

"That's pretty interesting Ang." I responded. But she gave me a look that told me she was scared.

"Fang. I can feel Iggy's. Iggy's life force is slowly fading. Fang, I think he's dying."

Dun. Dunn. Dunnnn. Hehehehe. I like's me a good cliffy. Hey I want to apologize to everyone. My processer has been on the fritz so this update is seriously delayed. I'm especially sorry to Heart the Squid because I promised her an update like a week ago. Sorry! But, good news that my word processor is fine now! It was acting funny but it's okay. So my question is = How do I make up for it? You tell me! Anyway, review please! If you love me! R&R?
