Author's note: I don't own Maximum Ride. I wish I did. Cause then I would be able to write the sequel that the book really needs. Oh well. Also I made it so Max and Fang already are dating. I can do this because I'm the author of this story and can do whatever I dang well please. Now on with the story.

Chap 1

Beginnings or endings?

Told in Max's point of view.

I looked down at the ocean below me. There are only 2 of the flock left now; me and Fang. All of the others had to stay with their parents, who were happy to see them. Now Fang and I were flying along the east coast; arguing.

"I don't ant to find my parents." Fang told me for the hundredth time.

"I heard you before but…"

"Then why do you keep insisting."

"Because you still haven't given me a reason." I answered him.

Fang just rolled his eyes and flew down and landed on the beach below us. I followed him.

"Talk to me Fang."

"Fang looked at the water. "What would happen to you?" he asked.

"I already told you not to worry about me."

"You'll be alone."

"So, I know where all of you would be if I needed you. I don't need anymore family. I got enough already."

That's it Max, push him away. Get him to go home. The voice inside my head ushered me. Don't forget what I told you.

Don't worry I didn't. I thought back to him. I looked back at Fang and realized that he had obviously noticed my absence of mind.

"Plus," he added, "what would happen if you had one of those brain spasms and you were alone."

I tried to hold my ground. "I would deal with it."

"Yeah, by falling out of the sky and falling out of thin air. That would be smart."

Told in Fang's point of view

Max walked over nearer to the water and sat down hugging her knees.

"It won't matter soon anyway." she whispered to herself.

I walked up behind her and sat down to where my legs were around her and she was sitting between them.

"Why won't it matter soon?" I asked her.

Surprised that I had heard her she turned her head, eyes wide.

"It's nothing." She answered, turning her head back towards the sea.

I put my arms around her and pulled her closer to me to where she right up against me. Our body's seemingly molded together.

I would of never of done this when the rest of the flock was here. The only time I ever showed this much emotion to her was behind closed doors. But she needed right it now. I was worried about her. She was shutting me out. It's not good when she does this. It usually means that she's sacrificing herself for the rest of us: trying to protect us. I had lost the count of how many times I have tried to convince her we all needed to stick with each other no matter what.

Told in Max's point of view

I love it when he's like this. There was some points in time when there was no difference from before we were together and from afterwards. But then there were times like this when I truly understand he cares. I let myself relax into his kindness, closing my eyes slowly.

"You can tell me anything you know." He whispered gently in my ear sending chills down my back.

"Not this." I answered knowing I should pull away from him.

Good girl Max, the voice inside my head proceeded to urge me away from him.

"Why not?" Fang asked.

I knew he would not let this go until I answered him truthfully. I new I couldn't even lie to him. This was for 3 reasons. One-the voice didn't approve of lying. I know a bad guy with morals. Two-I would feel too guilty. I already feel guilty leaving the flock, I don't need that on my mind also. And three- even if I wanted to, and could get past the other two he would be able to tell. I don't know how he does it. No matter how convincing I was he could tell. Freak.

Why all this was going through my head I came up with an idea. The voice had told me not to tell Fang why I had to leave him, but the voice never told me I couldn't tell him why I couldn't tell him why. I knew I would have to pay with for it later but I had to get Fang of my back. I decided to flaunt the flaw to the voice.

Hey voice, I called in my head, you never told me I couldn't say why I can't tell him why I can't tell him anything.

And quickly before the voice could stop me I said quietly, "Because of the voice,"

Fang jumped up quickly and started to pace. He did it so quickly I almost fell backwards.

Told in Fang's point of view.

I knew it." I whispered as I jumped up and started to pace.

I knew that was why. I could see it in her eyes. To everybody else Max was as hard as a rock, and she was. Everywhere except her eye that is. Her eyes have worry or quilt in them all the time. Especially since we found everybody else's parents she had been extra pushy. Her eyes had been filled with extra worry.

I looked over at her to question her some more to see her holding her head tears rushing down her face. Another brain spasm.

Told in Max's point of view
