That night, maybe 5 hours later…

I sat on my bed, feeling totally defeated. I felt like half of my heart was gone, broken beyond repair.

Gazzy and Angel had fallen asleep in one of the beds. Angel holding on to her brother, Gazzy hugging her closer to him, they both knew their time together was short.

Yeah so we knew one day we will die, everyone dies. Even unfortunate bird kids like us. Yes I've always known my flock is going to die. But I always thought I would "expire" first, or die in an attack. The idea of my flock dying in this place, in the place that we hated most, that just had never crossed my mind, we had always made it out alive, always avoided the unthinkable.

So now I sat, hanging my head, tears landing on my open palms that rested on my thighs. But I did not dare make a sound. No I could not make a sound. I felt like my voice had left with them. All of my emotions were clouding my thoughts. I could remember all the times I had wanted to duck-tape Nudge's mouth shut. Now I would give anything to hear her beautiful voice again.

Someone came up behind me; their hands came and rested on my shoulder, not saying anything. I knew it was Fang.

I turned my head slightly and looked him straight in the eyes; again I saw the hurt, saw the sadness, and even the regret. But not a single tear.

I did not even expect Fang to cry if I died. I mean I would not want him to either. I just hope one day his dam will break, and he will actually prove to me that he does have emotions, and feelings. For a while I thought he was like a robot, no emotions or expressions, but then there were those few moments, when he smiled at me and kissed me. I knew he loved me, and maybe he still does love me, or maybe not. I realized I had been staring at him for a while. Fang took both his thumbs and ran them under my eyes, whipping away my tears. I shook my head slightly and collapse against him.

Fang sat down and pulled me into his lap, my head was against his shoulder. I sobbed so hard, I just cried and cried for what felt like hours. Fang ran his hands though my hair, rubbed my back between my wings and allowed me to cry, no to sob. I pulled my head away and looked at Fang. He brought his head closer so that our foreheads touched. I closed my eyes.

"Why them, why did they end their lives, Fang? Why not me?" I asked quietly. Fang pulled away and cupped both hands against my checks; I opened my eyes and looked him dead in the eyes.

"Max…" he paused almost like he was searching for the answer, not once did he look away he never broke eye-contact.

"Max, I wish I had all the answers, I wish we do not have to go through this, but Max I don't have the answers. We do have to go through this; it's our lives that we might not have chosen but we were destined to live. Max, no one can save the world except for you, Max please do not give up."

And with that, Fang kissed me. It was soft, sweet and short. I don't know if it was Fang or the kiss that comforted me so much, maybe both. Tears were still rolling down my checks, but for some reason I felt a little better.

I think Fang and I fell asleep soon after he kissed me. I woke up; Fang's arms were around my waist holding me against his chest. His hands resting on my stomach, my hands over his, I was laying on my side facing away from Fang, and Fang was facing me. I smiled weakly; I could not remember the last time I woke up next to him like this. I quickly looked around to make sure that Angel and Gazzy were still there, they were, thank the Lord. My movement made Fang wake up and spring to attention, leaving one of his arms lying across my waist. Angel began to stir; I got off of the bed with Fang following. We walked over to her as she woke up.

Angel looked a little disoriented and confused. She looked at the scenery and then her eyes fell on me.

"Max." She said quietly. "Please, please tell me that it was all just a dream, a nightmare. Please tell me that Nudge and Iggy are not gone." Tears started flowing from her eyes again; Gazzy woke up hearing her crying. He too looked a bit confused but then reality settled in all over again. I saw him holding back tears with all of his strength. But it was getting harder by the second. I saw the pain written all over their faces. Angel was crying into my t-shirt, Gazzy just sat on the bed. I pulled him into my shoulder, and he let it all out. He cried and cried. I started crying to, I knew I was supposed to be the strong on her, always have it together. But you know what even leaders, or mothers have to cry, we can't always have it together all of the time ok. I cry, I'll admit it. I think it's perfectly ok for me to cry too. I had just lost my little motor-mouth, and my brother. Well my kinda brother. Hey I loved him like a brother!

Fang came over; I leaned back and rested my head on his shoulder. He rubbed Gazzy's back. My hands were kinda full with Angel. We sat like this for a while, until Angel, Gazzy and I could dry our tears, mostly.

Angel pulled away and whipped her eyes; Gazzy pulled back next and ran a hand though his hair. I sat against Fang and listened to them sniffling. Trying to catch their breath, and I tried calming them down.

Angel looked up at me, and her face expression made me want to cry even more.

I had let her down, no worse; I had let all of them down. I must be the worst leader ever. I let all of them down, I was not able to protect them, and I let them get crushed. I was supposed to be able to do anything.

Why can nothing be easy for us?

I'm 99.999999% sure that the universe hates us. Yep I did the math.

I sighed; there was nothing I could do to comfort these kids. Nothing I could say, or do could make this situation any better. We were all depressed but we just tried to enjoy the last moments that we had together.

But when those scientists came and tried to take the kids, I was going to knock some teeth out.

Yeah that's right, Maximum Ride was going to get some revenge and it will be good.

Ok I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Yeah pretty uneventful just a filler chapter really.

R&R!
