A/N: It has been one year since Max was kidnapped. The ages are now: Max, Fang, and Iggy: 21; Nudge: 18; The Gasman/Gazzy: 16 and Angel is 14.
Max:
I crashed through the trees, trying to escape the gunshots. I was flying on nothing but adrenaline and sheer terror. I heard loud, heavy wingbeats behind me from my little brother, Ari. My nine month old daughter, Hope, was cradled in my arms as she cried.
In case you didn't read my previous book (Rude!) I had been kidnapped from my family for a year and half (WHEN I WAS 4 MONTHS PREGNANT!) and just now escaped.
"Max!" Ari shouted, making me turn back to see him. "I can't fly much longer!" I could feel my own energy getting dangerously low.
"We can't stop! Not until we get somewhere safe!" More gunshots. More shouting. More crying from Hope.
I turned back to look at Ari again, and saw his eyes close as he started to fall. "ARI!" Was he shot?! I wondered. I started to feel myself faint, and before I knew it, I was falling out of the sky with my baby in my arms.
