I sighed as I landed back home, folding in my wings. I, Max Ride, just had one hell of a ride. Getting my butt kicked by some freaking demon thing, and then having to save a girl, ugh. Sitting in a chair, I glanced up at the new figure standing in the kitchen. A girl with extremely long dark ink black hair, dark eyes, and creamy skin. God, she was super model gorgeous, so I wonder what her personality was like, and what her name is.

"Well, are you hurt?" I asked the girl, standing up, brushing dirt off my clothes. Looking back at the girl, I wonder if she could talk.

Finally, she answered, "Yeah, I just have a cut, but I can deal with that." She said, whipping out a small black thing out of her pocket. I saw a cut in her arm, and she stabbed the blade of the idem into the cut, drawing some freaky symbol in her skin, along with all of the others.

I gasped, "Are you nuts?! It's called a bandage." I nearly snapped. This girl was crazy.

Giving me a cold like stare, the girl actually smiled, "Sorry, its how Shadowhunters deal with injuries. When someone watches, it usually freaks them out." Shadowhunter?

"Oh ok, then," I sighed, I've heard weirder, I mean, I have wings, so I shouldn't say anything, "Well, then, at least you're ok. Do you have any idea what was trying to kill us back there?" I asked.

The girl answered quickly, "A Mala demon, let's be glad it's claws didn't get us, we'd be dead in a few hours." She said, then smiled, "Oh, I'm Isabelle Lightwood, thought that we should know each other names since, well, I don't really know." She looked nervous.

"Well, I'm Max," I smiled back at Isabelle, "And yeah, I have wings, as you can tell." I gave a small nervous laugh.

"How did you get them?" Isabelle asked, and I twitched when she did, having to think about the School, Itex.

I didn't answer at first, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I could hear (China probably could too) Nudge's voice squeal, "Max!! Who's that?!" she was probably referring to Isabelle, and I sighed, looking over, seeing Nudge standing there, wide eyed.

Isabelle blinked, I began feeling sorry for her, then she smiled a bit, "Um, hi," she looked at me, "Your sister?" she asked. Was she stupid? Can't she tell Nudge does not look anything like me, but hey, I guess maybe that's why she asked.

"Basically, she's a member of my Flock," I smiled, motioning Nudge to come over, "She's Nudge, and she a bit of a chatterbox." I warned Isabelle, who merely shrugged. Brave girl.

Nudge quickly proved what I said to be true, "Omigod, it's so nice to meet you, I love your hair, what's with the tattoos? How did you meet Max?" Here was the Nudge channel.

Isabelle blinked, then responded, "Nice to meet you too, thanks so do I, the tattoos comes with being a Shadowhunter, and Max and I met when we were trying to save our butts from getting mauled by a Mala Demon." Wow, she was able to answer Nudge's questions, and in order. Impressive.

Soon, I heard a bump, and Iggy shouting, "Max! How many times have I fricken told you not to move stuff in front of the staircase?! I'm blind, remember?!" I groaned, if he was, why won't he act like it?

Nudge laughed a bit, "That's Iggy, "she explained to Isabelle, "He's blind, and he also bumps into something while coming downstairs." She said, then giggled. I sighed again.

"Sorry Iggy," I turned around and called over to the staircase, "But watch it, we have a visitor," I said with a smile.

Iggy soon entered, and blinked, "A visitor? Who?" he looked around, trying to locate Isabelle. I sighed, then pushed him over to Isabelle and Nudge. Iggy gently placed a hand on Nudge's face, "That's Nudge," he muttered, then gently placed a hand on Isabelle, "Ok, this is the visitor, right?"

"Um, yeah," Isabelle said, not sounding freaked, "I'm Isabelle. Isabelle Lightwood." She said.

Iggy put his hand down, and smiled, "Nice to meet you, oh, you have," he ran a hand through her hair, "Black hair, blue eyes and pale skin, that have strange black tattoos."

"I thought you were blind," Isabelle said, looking astonished, blinking wildly, "How did you get it right?"

Iggy shrugged, "I am, but I have this special skill where I can tell what the colors of things are by touching them." He explained, then stretched, popping his neck, "Fang and Gazzy should be up soon, I don't know about Angel."

I nodded, "I hope so," then I heard small footsteps, and I quickly discovered Angel was up. I smiled and saw her walk inside, rubbing her huge blue eyes. Man, she was so cute. Her blonde hair was messed up from sleeping, and her buttons needed to be done. "Morning sweetie."

"Hi Max, can you do my buttons?" Angel smiled, and I lifted her up in my arms, doing the buttons of her dress, she looked back at Isabelle, "Hi, I'm Angel." She said.

Isabelle smiled, how could you not when looking at Angel, "Hello, Angel, I'm Isabelle Lightwood." She greeted, "Wow, Max, you sure have a big…flock."

"There's more of us, there's Fang and Gazzy, oh and Total," Nudge chirped, I sighed, I love Nudge, but she can talk a bit too much. Soon, I felt a shadow move past me; I quickly turned around, seeing Fang behind me. Gazzy snickered as he followed Fang inside.

I gasped, setting Angel down, taking a jump back, "Fang! Would you quit doing that to me!" I cried out angrily.

Fang merely smirked, "What? Breathing? Walking? Or all of the above?" I nearly growled, I hated when Fang toyed with me like that. But, he was…Fang, I couldn't hate him. Ever.

Before I could snap at Fang, Isabelle chirped in, "Um, hey," he said, giving a small wave, "I'm Isabelle. I'm guess your Fang, or something." She said.

Fang's smirk turned back into his usual emotionless look, "Yeah, I'm Fang," Fang looked at me, "Max, a moment?" Before I could answer, Fang had grabbed my arm and dragged me into the living room. He stared at me, "Why is she here? Is she one of Them?" he quickly asked in a gruff like whisper.

"She was fighting some Mala demon, or something, and I saw and helped her, and I thought she was hurt and I brought her here," I responded quickly, wrenching my arm back, "And no, she's a Shadowhunter, she hunts things like that demon I saw. So, I think she's a friend." I said.

Before Fang could protest, I heard Angel scream and the rest of the flock huddle up together. Exchanging a silent look, Fang and I dashed into the kitchen.
