True Angel
A/N Hi, this is my last chapter, it's a lot longer than the others but its all quite exciting! Sorry if it's a bit cheesy! There will be a sequel fairly soon, I'm already thinking about what will happen to Sam and Co. Thanx for reading. Please give me detailed reviews of anything I could do to improve. Bye!

"The power" as he now called it had been growing for days. Sam had a terrible feeling it was going to show itself soon, and not in the most gentle of ways. The flock had left their safe-haven with the hawks to find their parents and had stopped in a remote wasteland, a few trees nearby, but the most noticeable landmark was an immense building that looked like it had once been a working factory. Max had decided this was a good place to stop as it had been abandoned for years and they were likely to be safe here.
They had set up a fire, and were eating some of their supplies when Max noticed The Gasman had a serious look of concern on his face, more serious than even Fang usually was.
"What is it Gazzy?" asked Max, half-way through wolfing down a cold sausage roll.
"I'm worried, I mean, what if our parents don't like us?" he replied, glancing over at Angel.
"Of course they'll like you, you're, well… you!" Said Max, desperately trying to reassure him. Although she couldn't say the thought hadn't crossed her mind, several times. These people had given their children up at birth, why would they want them back? Especially now they were all winged freaks? The Gasman looked vaguely reassured and Angel was still happily playing with Total and Celeste so Max let it drop from her mind, for a while at least.
"Stop it!" screamed an angry Sam.
"What's up?" asked Iggy
"Oh… nothing" replied Sam, this of course was a lie. The power, whatever it was had been irritating Sam more than usual. He felt as if there was a creature inside him, gaining power and now it was slowly gnawing at his brain, he felt like his head was going to explode.
"Sam?" came from a worried Tania.
"It's okay honey"
At the sound of Tania's voice the pain subsided slightly, it was calm. This gave Sam time to think about the vision he had shared with Nudge. Had he once been a real, normal kid? Had they all been? But those "Normal" versions of Fang and him hadn't seemed right, maybe not even alive. This was getting more and more confusing by the day. It was getting late, so Sam went to sleep. He lost consciousness almost instantly as he put his head down on the rucksack, almost against his own control.
"Hey, what's wrong with Sam? He seems stranger than usual." Said Fang that night to Max.
"I dunno, but I'll ask him, if there's something wrong with him we need to know" replied Max. "I'll ask him in the morning, goodnight"
The next morning, as Sam was kicked awake by Max, the pain returned right on cue. He winced as his head began to throb.
"What's wrong Sam?" asked Max. "You have to tell me"
"Nothing, just a headache" It was now that Sam noticed the others were not yet awake, it was just him and Max who right now was giving him a look of concern and frustration.
"Okay, okay I'll tell you" relented Sam. "I feel like there's something inside me, it's not good and I can't control it. It's been getting stronger since I met you guys and now it feels like it's eating me from the inside. Okay? Happy now?"
Sam took to the skies, Max let him go, she had learned from past experience not to follow Sam when he flew off. He would be back, he wouldn't leave Tania. Max carried on kicking the rest of the flock awake. All the time thinking about what Sam had said.
Sam landed on a rooftop of part of the old factory and sat down, it was surprisingly clean.
I can't handle this! Stop it! Just leave me alone! Please!
"Oh don't worry birdie, you won't have to suffer much after I'm done with you!"
Sam whirled round to find a bloodthirsty pack of erasers just feet away from him, damn thought projection.
He looked below him to find the rest of the flock fighting them on the ground and they didn't seem to be doing well. Max was lying lifeless on the ground while Fang valiantly fought to protect her. Iggy was losing his fight with two erasers and the gasman looked up at Sam as he fell to his knees. There was no sign of Angel… or Tania.
"Tania! What have you done with her?"
"Now, now" said Lea in her silky voice, while changing shape, her muzzle forming. "There's no need to get excited, we are holding her in a 'safe' place. We have no use for her. You, however, are very important and we need to get you back to the institute. Dead or alive!"
Lea pounced on Sam who was already nearly paralysed by the pain in his head and had little chance of a fight. But he fought anyway. Took punch after punch until she kicked him, right in the stomach. This sent Sam flying off the rooftop. As quickly as he could he unfurled his wings, pushed down hard and flew towards the battle scene, where only Fang now stood, having taken out two erasers but now being beaten by his third.
Almost instantly Lea and her super erasers appeared next to him.
They must have jumped straight down!
Sam heard a cry behind him as Fang, the strongest flock member fell to the ground beaten. Sam was the only one left and he had never been taught to fight at the institute. After their last accident with fighting experiments they had decided against the idea of training more that could fight against them.
Lea held up a bag, Sam saw inside it a black nosed, furry little girl.
"Tania!"
"ah ah ah! Stay where you are or she gets it!" Lea through the sack to the ground, there was no movement from inside, not even a sound.
"What have you done to her?"
"I've had enough of this, kill them both"
The power surged in Sam and he felt the worst pain, everything went white and suddenly he felt as though he was watching himself from the outside, through a screen. This other Sam had unfurled his now pure white wings and his eyes glowed with a silver light. He emanated great strength. An eraser lunged at him but he swept it away with his hand, several more tried this and got the same reaction. The other Sam rose into the sky, without flapping his wings, as if he was on a pedestal. His eyes narrowed and suddenly glowed brighter with a furious red. The erasers simply disappeared, even Lea. They dissolved into nothing as if they had never existed. The glowing stopped and Sam fell down with a thud.
Sam awoke a little while later to find it was dark, everyone was still out cold, bruised but alive. Sam stumbled over to the bag that held Tania, he heard a groan and his heart skipped a beat with relief at her being alive. Angel was lying next to Max looking strangely unhurt.
Sam felt weak and when he could stand no more he fell one thought racing through his head as he did.
What am i?
As Fang had lain, paralysed but conscious he saw a white glow, the only shape he could make out were wings, none like any of the flock had. It was a power like nothing in this world and it flicked the erasers away with a sweep of its hand. The glowing turned a furious red, thenstopped, something fell down to earth and Fang lost consciousness.
