Moe: So I was just lying in bed, and I decide to check on my story and BAM. There is a new comment. This comment was from SpookyRemotes and I honestly want to cry from happiness. I've been feeling down in the dumps with the lack of comments and this comment made me so happy that I jumped out of bed and decided to write a new chapter!

Max: How inspiring

Moe: Are you being sarcastic?

Nudge: Get to the story already! It's bed time! Moe does not own Maximum Ride or the original characters. Please enjoy!

(DOVE'S P.O.V)

I looked and looked and looked. But my eyes started to water over and ruin my vision.

"Iggy!" I called for the millionth time. The tears in my eyes could be heard in my voice.

I had been searching for him for so long that my wings were becoming weak and I was starting to lose my voice. I hadn't even thought of what I would do when I finally found him, if I did, or even if he would listen.

"Iggy, Please!" I cried.

My wings gave out, and I fell from the 20 story height I had been flying at. I honestly didn't even try to stop myself. I was so tired, defeated, and broken. I was stronger than normal humans, but from being this high up, I would still die. I gave up so much that I chose to just close my eyes and let it happen. But I never felt the pain of the ground.

"You idiot." A familiar voice growled in my ear.

I didn't need to open my eyes to know who it was.

"I didn't find him." I whispered.

"So you try to kill yourself!" Max's angered voice forced my eyes open.

I only got a glimpse of her mad face before she dropped me out of her hands. She hadn't completely landed when she did so. Her feet were still at least a foot off the ground.

"Ow." I muttered, standing myself up.

"Yeah, ow. Could you imagine what you would be saying if I had let you keep falling?" Max folded her arms over her chest.

"Not ow. She'd be dead!" I turned around to see the rest of the flock walking up to us.

"Is he gone?" I asked, looking around fearfully.

"Yes, unless you found him." Dylan answered.

"She's talking about Kirill." Fang replied.

"Oh yes, lets discuss that part. Angel and Gas, cover your ears a moment." Max waited till they did as they were told. "What the actual fuck! Mind telling us what the fucking hell happened back there? What set off World War Three?"

I looked down at my feet. Now was the time to confess. Now or never. If I lied to them now, I could never tell them the truth. They wouldn't trust me.

But if I told the truth…. What consequences would follow? What am I more afraid of? Losing the trust of my new found family… or the wrath of Kirill? I had seen his anger, but I didn't really know what he was capable of. What possible other powers could he have? He was obviously very strong. But was there more the fear?

"Dove?"

I looked up at my flock and cleared my throat.

(IGGY'S )

I had to get away to be alone for a while. And the last place they would find me would be the most obvious. In my room.

I was so confused. I tried calming down, but nothing helped. My anger was terrifying and taking control of my body. My mind was fuzzy. All I could see my rage. Pure hate. I tried eating some of my cereal, but things only seemed to get worse. I felt out of control.

A horrifying and wonderful thought came to my head. A great idea that I knew would finally take this madness away.

There was only one place they would be. The only hotel in the city. And I knew exactly how to get there.

(3RD PERSON P.O.V)

The three humans stood around the car, waiting for the bird children to come back. All of them. And in one piece.

"I cannot believe you, Jeb." Valencia Martinez said. "How could you let someone so toxic be so close to us?"

"I knew Dove was bad from the start." Ella commented.

"Not Dove. I am talking about those two foreign brutes!"

"He is Dove's father." Jeb defended halfheartedly.

"Maybe in the biological sense, but not in the way he should be." She crossed her arms over her chest. "And besides, as a father, how could he allow that bully around his daughter?"

"I'm sure he wasn't aware…." Jeb lied.

"That's bullshit and you know it." Valencia growled, opening the car door. "Let's just go home. We can wait for them there. No use sitting in the dark."

The other two agreed and got in. The drive home was very awkward and quiet. Ella honestly had never heard her mom this mad. And even she could tell that Jeb had been lying.

When they finally got home, Ella was the first to get out. Leaving the other two in the car together. She quickly directed herself upstairs, aiming to wait for Max in their shared bedroom. But a noise from down the hall distracted her.

She walked slowly, ending up in front of Iggy's door. She knocked lightly, but when no answer came, she opened it.

"Iggy?" She called.

She saw said-boy pacing his room, his now trashed room.

"What is it, Ella?" He growled.

"Everyone is worried about you." She said softly, reaching her arm out to touch him.

He stopped at her words and looked up. He allowed her hand to touch his shoulder and his face softened.

"Even you?" He asked.

"Um, Yes." She answered, blushing bright red.

"Oh?" He turned to face her, setting his hand lightly on her cheek. "How worried were you?"

"I… I was very worried." Her face relaxed at his touch.

Iggy leaned in, planting a soft kiss on her unexpecting lips.

Ella thought she was going to faint.

"Iggy." She whispered.

"Make sure you tell Dove about this." His voice returning to anger, and before Ella could respond, he jump out the window into the night.
