Sorry about the late update everyone. After competitions, my parents decided to surprise me with an unexpected trip to some weird little town off the map. I had my laptop, but my Wi-Fi didn't work. But I could still use Word, so I typed up the next several chapters.

Anyway, y'all had some questions:

1. Silent Broken Heart: You didn't have a question necessarily, but yes, I'd love to read your story soon!

2. Midge 1012: Is it going to be something similar to Hancokc, or the regular loss of memory cliche? No to both of those. It's something even cooler ;)

3. helenaride:Is the rest of the flock going to be in this story? Yes...I'll just have to fit them in sometime xD

4. dogLOVER411: Again, you didn't have a question, but I'm going to miss you! Have fun on the trip though!

5. Fangxxmylove: What secrets does Fang have? Many. Does Max have wings? Nope. Why aren't my questions answered? Because my slow brain can't type fast enough xD

21: Do Max and Fang have wings? Only Fang does and only in Max's dreams. You'll find out why later.

-maximumride4eva: Does Fang know Max's name in the dream? Yep. Is Max's mom Dr. M? No. She's someone else's parent.

Ask anything anytime anywhere! I love hearing your questions!

Also, many of you are still a bit confused with some of the things going on. And I'm sure that if I didn't know the entire plot of the story, I'd definitely be confused, too. But I assure you, everything will make sense in time, so please be patient.

My mom was never known to go to bars much. Sure, I've seen her go a couple times. But she never visited frequently or stayed more than an hour. She preferred to waste her life away in alcohol at him rather than in some ratty ol' place on the bad side of town.

Speaking of, the only bar located in my dull little town was, of course, where all the deaths happened. On that side of town, people were shot, murdered, abducted, you name it. I'm not saying that bad stuff doesn't happen over here on the 'good side,' but it's not as bad.

"A bar?" Ella trudged along reluctantly beside me. "You can't be serious, Max."

"But I am serious. Do you see me smiling?"

"You don't smile."

"Much. I don't smile much."

"Still, we can't exactly just head on inside the bar. We don't look twenty-one."

"No, but we can sneak inside through the back door. The drug dealers let anyone in if you mention a bit of money." I waved some bills in front of her face.

"Amazing you would know that," she muttered under her breath. A little louder, "Okay, but it's still way too dangerous for two teenage girls to walk in the bar alone."

"We won't be alone, mom'll be with us."

She rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean."

We reached the train tracks that separated the two sides from each other. The train had stopped running years ago, though, due to a crash in the town when only thirty-some-odd people lived here. Ella and I hopped onto the tracks, walking along the edges.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I have awesome kung-fu ninja skills." I chopped the air with my hand and did a high-kick that knocked me off the tracks. Ella giggled as I rolled down the side of the tracks' hill. A bush stopped me. Ella rushed down to help me up and we both looked at each other once before bursting out into hysteric laughter.

Here we were, two sisters from a small town, going to find their delusion mother in a disgusting bar, and hoping we don't get killed in the process. And yet, we can still find ourselves forgetting all that and just simply be.

I watched her from a distance. What did Mr. X say her name was? Max. It was stronger than all her past names. But I liked it. It suited her style better.

Max hopped onto the train tracks. I sighed inwardly. Those better be unused tracks. Max said something softly to her sister and she rolled her eyes in reply, but still looked slightly concerned.

What was Max doing out here at night?

I followed the girls silently several feet behind. If Max is anything like her past, then I know that she'll be getting herself into trouble tonight.

Suddenly, Max did an odd gesture with her hand and kicked high to the side. The movement caused Max to wobble off the tracks and down the side of the slight hill we were on. A bush caught her halfway down.

Her sister rushed to her side and paused at her feet, smiling down to her. They simultaneously burst into laughter, Max clutching her sides.

It was good to see her laugh and look so carefree. It made me smile a real, genuine smile.

She made me happy.


An anonymous POV

I've found them. I don't understand why they keep coming back. Why don't they just die and stay dead. It's starting to annoy the bloody hell outta me.

Frustrated, I accidentally smashed the glass I had been holding. Crystal shards scattered across the room and pulled around my feet.

I'll get them. And when I do, they'll die, and die for good.


Yeah, this was kinda a boring chapter. But some important information that needed to be said was scattered and hidden inside it.

One more chapter left today!

Revieweth for the Panda's sake!
