Max POV

Its been nearly a year after Fang's disappearance and I was beginning to worry. Even though Fang was the silent and emotionless member of the flock, it just wasn't the same without him. I missed the sarcasm he brought to the group. I missed the moments when finished my sentences for me. All in all, I missed his presence around me the most.

Flashback Max POV

We were flying back from Ella's house when I spotted a group of teenagers being harassed by a group of loser punks. I quickly motioned to the rest of the flock and we went to go help them. As we landed, one of the punks noticed us and shouted,

"Attack now!"

Suddenly, they are started turning into wolfish creatures and I realized that I had led the flock into a trap.

"Form up!" I yelled to prepare for attack.

As we organized ourselves together, I saw a metal object fly toward us and explode, enveloping everything in smoke. I couldn't see a damn thing. There was a sound of bullets whizzing through the cloud and I kept my head down to avoid the shots. When I believed the coast was clear, I did a 360 to view the surroundings and check up on everyone. As I was observing, an Eraser had snuck up behind me and knocked me unconscious. Before I blacked out, I vaguely thought I saw three Erasers dragging a body between them into a vehicle. When I woke up , I realized that it was Fang who was captured and that we had absolutely no idea where he was.

"How could this happen so quickly? How?" I cried as I knelt towards the ground. If I hadn't been so careless, this would never have happened.

Angel came over and hugged me. "Its ok Max. You were just trying to do the right thing by helping that group of teenagers out. You didn't know it was a trap. Its not your fault."

"None of us would have expected this to occur either." Iggy answered.

"I just hope that nothing life-threatening will happen to him." I replied, wiping my tears away.
