Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride

I know it's been a while! I'm sorry!!!

Old Faces

Their eyes widened. "Max!" Nudge screamed.

Fang POV:

Max stood before us. Her blonde hair cascaded down to the middle of her back. Her blue eyes which had been filled with warmth and laughter were now ice cold and her face was emotionless. She was wearing a black spaghetti shirt showing off her tan and black leather boots.

'Max. Is that really you? Oh god….' Fang thought staring at her.

She gave us a cold smile.

"Max?" Angel whispered, looking at her in wonderment.

Max POV:

They all stared at me in shock. The youngest, Angel was staring at me in wonderment. I could feel her trying to get into my mind. 'Uh-uh,' I smirked. I kept my mind shield up at all times.

I saw her look confused, and then sad.

"Max!" Gazzy launched himself at me but I sidestepped him and he fell to the ground. He looked up at me with confusion.

"Sorry…" I trailed off.

"Don't let them know you aren't the Max they think you are. It will make your mission easier. They will come with you willing. Remember, to them you are their dead sister."

"What's going on Max?" I heard a low voice ask me. I glanced up at the dark boy, now standing next to Gazzy.

'Fang.' A pain shot threw me at his name. 'What's wrong with me?' I wondered.

"Your cover story is, the School kidnapped you and you escaped and want to be with them again. Get them to come with you." I heard Jebs voice in my mind.

"The School kidnapped me. It's been awful." I said in a low voice, the flock came in a tight circle around me, all listening to me with intensity.

"I got out by agreeing helping them capture you. But when the Erasers aren't looking we'll escape." I told them plan, watching as they believed every word. I could see them thinking of escape strategies in their heads. 'Wow. Jeb was right.' I thought, amused.

"OK," the blind one, Iggy, stepped up. "Let's blow this joint!"

That obviously had some significance to them because they all grinned and looked at me expectantly.

"Ummm…" I racked my brain, before saying. "We can't leave yet. They expect us to try to escape. We have to wait till their guard is down."

They nodded. We all stood there silently. The flock just stared at me, as if wondering if I was an illusion. 'I guess I kind of am,' I thought, staring off into the distance.

"Max?" I heard a quiet voice ask. I glanced over and saw Fang coming closer to me. I had to fight down the instinct to back up.

"Yeah?" I turned. I tried to look concerned or happy. But it was hard. I had been trained not to show emotions.

Fang POV

"Max?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah?" she turned slowly to meet my eyes. I could see the forced concern on her face. She was different. Was this Max?

Yeah I know it's really short but I'm not sure what I want to happen next. And I've thinking for a couple of days so I figured I'd post this and ask what you guys thought. REVIEW!
