I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. THEY BELONG TO JAMES PATTERSON.

Prologue

Max's Pov

I haven't seen the flock in nearly a year and a half, since I was captured by the school and the whitecoats told me they were all dead, and showed me their bodies. I miss them all so much that I don't even know how I keep going, sometimes it feels impossible to.

I'm 15 now and living with Jeb and Ari. I know, I know but let me explain first before you all freak out;

When I escaped from the school I went to see mom and Ella but Jeb and Ari were there.!early caused me to have a heart attack but mom stopped me before I flew off, I trust her with my life so I knew there had to be a good reason she was letting them in her home. Jeb then went on to explained that the eraser Ari who had being hunting and hurting us for a year wasn't the real Ari but a clone Jeb made for the school to take in order to protect his son, therefore the Ari in front of me is just a normal seven year old, except he can read minds, can protect himself with a force field and of course has wings. Isn't he normal?

I moved into an enormous house with Jeb and Ari somewhere in America. My best friend is called Katie and she knows about the wings and everything that has happened to me. She figured it out pretty quickly which was a relief for me as it was getting really hard for me to keep it from her especially now that she lives with us. Some other things are new as well, for example I got new powers which really come in handy when trying to blend in at school and fight flyboys. I now have the power to change appearances (which I use to hide my wings as well as Ari's) and my other power is the element: fire, water, earth and air.

Also I had to start school unfortunately and a few months ago I had a heart to heart with Jeb due to upsetting problem, which I'd rather not talk about right now and I've come to trust and love him and start to call him dad. God kill me now, could life get anymore complicated?

Prologue 2

Iggy's Pov

We haven't seen Max in a year and a half now since we were captured by the school and the whitecoats told us she was dead and showed us her body. We all miss her a lot and it's been very hard especially for Fang but he wouldn't admit it to anyone even though we know he hardly sleeps because he can't sleep without her near and he hardly talks well less than he did before which wasn't really much to begin mostly blames himself for Max being dead and thinks he should of protected her better even though she was the best and strongest fighter.

Our lives have been a lot harder without Max. Gazzy has trouble going to sleep like Fang, it took ages to get Nudge to speak to any of us, Angel thinking she should be leader even though she's just a child and has been a little brat lately as Max isn't here to yell at her or punish her, Fang tries but she just messes with his mind or does the bambi eyes.

It's not Fang's fault, he's a good leader it's just he isn't Max.
