DISCLAIMER: me do not own

MAX POV. . .

Have you ever felt like you would never see anybody ever again and not even think about them for a long time and then they just suddenly appear in your life unexpectedly and make your life even more upside down? Well if you haven't, let me just tell you that it can really make your head hurt and completely suprise you. Since I am so good at surprises, it only took me about five seconds to notice where I had seen this girl before. The second thing that I noticed after her face was her wings. They were slightly away from her like she was ready to run and take off at any moment, which was kind of pointless in this room, considering the low ceiling and the fact that there were no windows to jump out of, but whatever she prefers is fine. Some of you might be wondering 'who is this girl that has wings and that you have met before? I don't care how she looked, I just want to know who she is!' Well let me give you some clues. The flock met her a long time ago. Like way before we ever even started looking for who our parents were. Need another hint? The flock helped her and a bunch of other mutants escape at the same time I first killed my half brother Ari. Know who I am talking about now? Yes, the other mutant bird winged girl that we had helped escape from the Institute. Back then she about ten. Now she looked way older. And guess the best part. She remembered who we were. "You are the girl that saved me from that wretched place so many years ago," she whispered with wide eyes.

"Yes. And you are the one who took all of the other ones away. To safety," I answered, still a little shcked. Who would have thought that our paths would ever cross again? Not me. I was still trying to figure out how she was here when she answered the question I was asking myself in my head.

"Me and Koda are the only ones left from that time. Do you remember Koda? That's not what I called him back then, but that's now his name. He was the little one you handed off to me before you were attacked by that Eraser. Before I go any further, I just want to thank you for. ."I cut her off there. Now I had even more questions.

"Let's back up here. Okay now lets start with some simple questions. What is your name? What happened to the others? How did you and Koda, right? stay alive if all the others are not here anymore?" Okay so maybe they were not all simple questions but those were the ones in my head at that time.

"I call myself Light because of my power. I will show you that later, when it gets dark in here. The others were either killed right in front of me or kidnapped back. We all had to keep moving around; keep on the run. I always was by Koda because he was always so scared. I raised him. I taught myself how to fly so every time there was danger and I knew that there was no hope in fighting, I would grab Koda and take flight. Then we would fly to safety. Only once did we find one of the others. Gabe was one of the others with wings. But he hid them very well, so I don't know if that helps you at all. Anyways, he had been captured about three weeks before we found him free and what news he had scared me even more than I was. He said that he had escaped from a prison that had just been killing all mutants. He said that the only reason he was alive was because of you. Don't know what he was really talking about then and he didn't want to explain so I just let it be. He was killed by robots two weeks after he brought that news to me. I watched him die and then because of that, I wanted revenge. Gabe was my age, about, and I had grown up with him always in the cage next to mine. Watching him die was a lot harder than it was watching the others die. So I went seeking revenge. With Koda of course. I couldn't just leave him somewhere. What if something would have happened to him while I was gone? What if something happened to me and he was stuck by himself? So then we found this place, and as you can tell, we got captured. They took him away from me this morning. I really hope that nothing has happened to him. I could never live with myself."

Hearing Light's story kind of hit home for me. Having to always try to take care of somebody? Watching someone you care about die? Sound like anybody else here? Uh maybe, ME? And then to hear that I had saved this Gabe person and then her having to watch her be killed really bothered me. I can't even think about what I would do if any of my flock was not with me anymore. Her story also brought back memories of Ari, and how he also contributed to helping her friend even if she did not know that. I did and that's all that matters. It's going to take a little bit of time to hear the rest of her story and find out what she knows but I now know one thing. When we escape from this, Light and hopefully Koda will be with us. I cannot leave them behind. Maybe it's just because I see so much of myself in this girl but also maybe because I can truly feel that she needs help. And I was going to give it to her.

Later that night, after we heard the rest of what she had gone through, and the lights were finally turned off for the 'night', Light showed us just why she called herself 'Light'. She made her skin glow, literally, lighting up the entire room with a soft light. It was kind of strange and kind of beautiful at the same time. It was amazing. Not a skill that I would consider life saving but defiantly useful. Angel and Nudge were completely awed with Light's story and her power. It was really nice to see them sort of happy after all this time of them being so upset. Now is the time that I need to figure out an escape plan. But I need to figure out where the boys are being kept. And where we will be able to find Koda. But the first thing that needed to be done was to get some sleep. I would be no help to anyone if I was so tired that I couldn't think strait, like I was beginning to get. Right before I fell asleep though, I felt Angel's hand on my shoulder and heard her whisper,"I will wake you if I here anything dangerous coming," and with that I fell fast asleep.

Hope you enjoyed the third chapter. the fourth will be up in a few days and it will be told by Fang and be what the boys have been going through. please comment. like i have said, it makes me happy and it might make me post the next chapter sooner.
