Ok so I'm gonna be sure to do a Disclaimer every chapter because for a while I forgot it…

Enjoy the chapter!
BTW when Max and Angel are communicating
Max is BOLD
And Angel is italic
I have no idea how many days later…
-MAX'S POV-
I sat on the bed cradling Angel in my arms, rocking back and forth. Trying (and failing) to comfort her.
Fang was leaning up against the wall.
I still had not slept, and I seriously doubt I will ever sleep again, not in this school.
So that left me holding my sleeping angel.
We were not taking Gazzy's death well. We were all depressed, like beyond depressed.
I can't believe I had lost 3 flock members. I really had failed.
I let the kids down, I did not save my world, and I had let myself down.
All I've ever done my entire life is worry about those kids. Finding them food, finding them a place to sleep, making sure they were healthy, and being sure that they are as safe… well as a bird kid with Eraser's tracking their every move can be.
I sighed, what's the point. There was no use; every time the scientist came in here to take the kids they always defeated me.
Max don't take it so hard. I know that it's my time. And I'm ok with it; I wanna be with my brother, and Nudge and Iggy. Angel thought into my head.
Her eyes were closed and she looked like she was sleeping, I knew she wasn't.
Angel baby don't say that, you belong on this earth with us and I will do everything in my power to keep you here.
No Max, listen to me. You and Fang are still needed; the rest of the flock was not needed any more. That's why they decided to keep you and Fang alive. Max really don't worry about us, I think they were kinda right, maybe we were a distraction.
No Angel. I need you guys just as much as I need Fang. Angel don't say that I won't let you go without a fight.
Yes you will Max, they are coming now. Please I just wanna spend these last few minutes I have sitting in your arms. Just like I would when we were back at the E house, when I was little.
That brought me to tears, but she was excepting her own death.
Maybe Angel is wiser than I thought she acts like she is 100 years old and that she has lived a long exciting life, and now she's ready to leave this earth.
I just could not wrap my head around the idea; I certainly don't think she has lived a full life.
For goodness sakes she is only 7 years old! She has barely had any life at all… of course she has lived through more than you can imagine. But still that does not mean she should be ready to die!
Angel clung to me and I motioned Fang over.
He sat down and rubbed Angel's back, right between her broken wings.
We sat like this for 5 minutes.
Then the doors swung open, unlike the other times there was no fighting.
Angel simply climbed out of my lap, then turned back to face Fang and I.
She gave me a weak smile, I stood and Fang stood next to me.
Fang bent down and looked her straight in the eye.
She nodded slowly, and then wrapped her arms around Fang's neck. He held her tightly and she pulled back slowly.
Angel kissed Fang's cheek softly, and I swear that almost brought Fang to tears… almost.
Then she smiled sweetly and turned to me. I pulled her into a tight hug, and kissed her fluffy blond curls.
She pulled away and smiled once more at us.
She then turned and looked the scientist that had taken away the rest of the flock, Angel know faced the same fate.
Angel stood straight up and opened her wings proudly; then walked swinging her arms at her sides.
Looking proud… she was proud, proud of who she was and the life she lived.
Angel and I may have fought time to time, but when she turned to look at me one last time I realized that all of that was forgotten.
That Angel and I had ended things on good terms.
Then my little Angel walked right out of our room. Looking proud and confident, taking her death in stride.
As soon as the door shut and I heard the, click I turned to look at Fang.
He was watching me; I ran into his arms and sobbed.
Fang rubbed my back and let me cry, in the past… I don't know week, I have cried more than I have ever cried, like in my entire life.
I was so over tired I could not even muster the strength to stop, I just continued to sob.
I have no idea how long I cried for, I cried until I was completely out of tears. Then I just pulled away from Fang and looked into his eyes.
His hands were resting on my middle back, holding me. My arms sat on his shoulders.
I was gently running my fingers through his hair. Fang continued to look at me, I turned away first.
Fang carefully bought one had to my cheek. He cupped my cheek and turned my head, so I was facing him.
He brought his head closer, our foreheads touching.
"Max."
I did not answer him, no I couldn't answer him.
"Max, you don't have to talk to me, but please just promise me you won't give up."
I nodded slightly. Fang kissed my temple.
-FANG'S POV-
It was maybe a few hours after they took Angel away.
I was holding Max, I was sitting on one of the beds, and Max was literally in my lap.
She was not asleep but I was hoping she would fall asleep soon.
We had been sitting like this for a few minutes when I heard an alarm. Suddenly the doors flew open and there was a gust of wind.
Star appeared a few feet away from us.
Max and I both jumped.
"Hey." Star said. Max and I just stared at her.
"Well come on let's get you guys out of here!"
Max climbed out of my lap and off of the bed and I hopped off after her.
"Star how did you get in here?" I asked, taking Max's hand and running out the door after Star.
She was running at a speed Max and I could keep up with.
"Well we busted in here to get you guys out. Speaking of you guys don't you normally have some little people following you around?"
"Long story I'll tell you when we get out of here." I squeezed Max's hand reassuringly.
She did not look so reassured.
Ahead we saw some Erasers, Max and I were in no shape to fight.
"Uhh Star?" I questioned her, like I'm hoping she had a plan here.
"Don't worry about them! The gang is handling them; my job is to get you guys out of here. Go left!"
We all made a sharp left down a long narrow hallway; I glanced at the Erasers to see Kate punch one in the gut. She smiled at us and gave a small wave.
Star, Max and I ran to a door, Star threw it open to reveal a staircase; we booked it down the stairs as if the building was on fire.
We were outside in a matter of minutes.
"Are you guys gonna fly or ride with us?" Star asked as she threw the backdoors of a van open.
I looked at Max she nodded.
"I think we are gonna ride, we are in no shape to be flying." I said to Star, she nodded and we all climbed into the car. Ratchet was in the driver's seat, Star sat next to him in the passenger seat and Max and I in the back.
Soon the doors burst open and the rest of my gang joined us.
"Hey guys!" Kate said as she buckled up. (Safety first kiddos)
She turned to face us and she frowned.
"Aren't there normally more of you?" Holden asked.
"Yeah, you guys normally have a total of 6 flying bird kids, and 1 talking dog. Where is the rest of the gang?" Maya asked.
Max had her head in her hands, and I gave everyone a sharp look that totally said shut-the-hell-up.
They must have gotten the idea because the rest of the ride was silent, I had no idea where we were going but at this point I could flippin' care less. I just kept my arm around Max's shoulders holding her close.
-ANGEL'S POV-
I woke up in a room, the room was completely white. White walls, white tiles, white beds, white everything. Even I was in a white hospital dress.
I looked around the room to see Nudge, Iggy and Gazzy also in white, talking quietly.
"You guys aren't dead!" I practically screamed. I startled them but then Nudge walked over to me.
"No sweetie we aren't." She sat next to me and I hugged her tight.
The boys walked over too and I hugged them both.
"But I saw your guy's bodies. How? They looked pretty dead to me." I said Nudge let out a dry laugh. Gazzy smiled as I hugged him once more. Iggy pulled me into his lap and I clung to him.
"That is the same thing Gazzy asked us," Iggy said, "I'm thinking those were our clones, they just wanted Max to believe we were dead."
"Why?"
"Well when we are around she wants the best for us, meaning she would do anything to protect us. In Max's mind you kids come first, then saving the world. The white coats did not like that very much. So they made it look like we were dead, so maybe she would move on."
"Wow Iggy, deep." Nudge said. Iggy smirked in her general direction.
"So Max and Fang just have to believe we are dead? So we are like stuck in this school for the rest of our lives? I think I'd rather be dead." I said Nudge nodded slowly like she was agreeing with me.
"Well the white coats told us that we could be let out but we can't go and find Max, we can't have any contact with her what so ever." Nudge added.
"Yeah because if we do go and find her the white coats will actually kill us." Gazzy said.
"So what you are saying is Max has to believe we are dead, we will never be able to see her ever again?" I asked I just could not wrap my head around the idea.
"Yeah… well at least until she saves the world." Nudge said sadly.
"Yeah and who knows how long that will take." Iggy mumbled. Gazzy snickered and Nudge and I glared at him.
"Max can do it!" I said.
Iggy shrugged, Gazzy and Nudge nodded.
"Yeah I bet she can do it." Iggy said I smiled at him. He was trying to sound convincing, for our sake.
I hugged everyone once more.
"I'm just glad you guys aren't dead." I said holding onto Iggy. They all smiled at me, and nodded.
"Yeah Ang, it's good to see you too." Iggy said hugging me close to his body, I set my head on his shoulder.
I just hope Max and Fang are ok.
YAY! They aren't dead! XD
