I looked up at the stars. They were shining against the pitch-black sky. Fang was lying down next to me. The rest of the flock I had trusted Jeb with, and my decision surprised me. I still didn't even know what was going through my head at the time. I needed some time off, and Fang had asked to tag along. Of course, I had let him come.
"We need to get a real life." I said.
"Yeah, that would be helpful." He replied.
"And I've been thinking about this. The School did something good for us, there not all bad."
Fang turned to me. "Like what?"
"Flying is awesome. And they were the ones who did that to us."
"Yeah, whatever. If we didn't have wings we might have normal lives, though." Fang jolted up. "What is that sound?"
"Huh?" I moaned.
"That sound, it's like birds. And a car."
I listened more closely. There were birds and a car. At least that was what it sounded like. I turned to see what it was.
"Ah, great." I said sarcastically. It was the flock flying our way, and below them was Jeb in a car. I tried to drown it out by listening to the waves crashing on the shore of the beach.
"Max!" Nudge and Jeb called. I groaned and turned around. The flock had landed and Jeb was getting out of the car. I had to do a double take when I saw someone else get out of the car. The faint outline of a girl my age.
"Who is that?" I asked.
The rest of the flock gathered around. When I looked at the girl, she looked a lot like me, before I got that make over a while ago.
"Is that Max 2?" I asked, turning to Jeb.
"Um… Not really."
"Then who is she?"
"I'm Josephine." The girl said. "I am one of you guys, I was subject 15. I am also your sister."
