Max POV:

It's just another day, hopefully Eraser-free. I think I'll make the flock go for a walk, just to hear Gasman and Iggy complain. How evil of me!!

"Lets go guys! I don't care how much you complain! Get off your butts and get some excercise." I yelled.


When we reached the edge of the city, we stopped. After the edge was a cliff that went straight down into nothingness. Even with our "bird-eyes" we couldn't see the bottom.

Doesn't mean there's nothing there, said my little voice.

I know that! I retorted.

Suddenly, I heard a scream. I looked up, and there she -- or it -- was, hurtling down at us from the sky. I lept up to catch her, knowing that if she hit the ground like that, she could be killed. So I went up, and with some help from Fang, managed to get her on the ground. All the little ones crowded around her, and that's when I realized, she had WINGS!! As soon as that thought entered my mind, I got an ear-splitting headache.

Everything got blurry, then I was on the ground.

But it didn't make sense.

I was on the ground, looking up at...ME. what? before I had time to ponder this interesting question, excrusiating pain ran through my wing.

"MY WING!!! MY WING!!!" I yelled up at fang, who was just standing there doing nothing. I know I yelled that, but I didn't hear it. The only thing coming out of my mouth was jibberish.

Then I heard, 'Max,...help me...I need...your...help...'

Voice? thought, my mind not thinking straight, is that you? and I blacked out.


Mia POV:

"The last thing I remembered before I blacked out was,.. escaping from the Facility with K. Then falling from the sky after being attacked by the Outters. Then waking up here." I told the gang of kids that had found me. I hope they didn't see my wings I thought.

"Who are the outters?" a girl, obviously the leader, asked.

"The, um,.. uh,.. people, that uh,.. er,.. pushed, I guess. The people that pushed me out of the plane." The littlest one kept looking at me strangley, and I tried to hear her thoughts -- I can do that, you know. Read minds. It's really cool -- and she was thinking, Don't worry, we won't tell any one about your wings. Your secret's safe with us. I'll tell you a secret, we all have--

"Angel!" the boy, again, obviously second-in-command, snapped, "Stop trying to,... you know..."

But I had already seen what she was going to say.

They have wings! Wow, I thought me and K were the only ones!

Interesting,...
