So as it said in the summerie this is a sequel to my story Speak, but it can stand alone . All you have to know is that the main character is Shadow, who is Max and Fang's first son. in the last story he was kidnapped and when the Flock and Cullens rescued him, he had an injury to his right eye, leaving it blind. This story is five years after Speak...and thats really all you have to know. If you do have questions don't be afraid to ask me in a review or PM. (Wow. I feel like I'm instructing someone how to take a test or something...)

So Here we go! The sequel to speak!

I Do not own Maximum Ride or Twilight!

FIVE YEARS LATER (from the last chapter of 'Speak')

Shadow POV

Five years, it's been five years since I last seen them, (or out of my right eye).

About a month after I had gotten out of bed for the first time the Cullens had left to go back to their home.

It had taken a while but about two months later I was almost good as new. I had spent a lot of time working out and trying to regain my strength and stamina, spending about four months in bed, and two unable to do a lot of physical work really dimmed down my strength, stamina, and reflexes, and it didn't help that I was still getting used to not being able to use my right eye.

Now a days I've been going around with my flock and bringing down labs all over the country. When I say my flock, I mean my flock. As in other Avian-Americans that I had rescued from the labs that I had taken down.

Right now we are on our way back to Arizona after destroying a lab in Alaska.

Looking down into the lush deep forest below I sighed, thinking, I wonder I will ever see them again.

"I wonder how the Cullens are doing," Flutter's voice sounded in my ear. I shrugged, feeling Flutter shift on my shoulder, gripping the neck of my shirt.

Flutter is not really part of my flock but decided to come along with us this time.

Looking back down to the forest I blinked, we had just passed over a large white house, a familiar white house.

"Going down!" I called over the wind to the others and starting my descent.

"Is everything alright?" Called Zack, my best friend and right hand man. He came beside me so his sandy wing brushed my dark left, his brown hair whipping his face, and green eyes curious.

I nodded and dipped into the trees, landing silently. Turning I watched as my flock landed around me. First was Zack, who was my age and had joined when I was still recovering.

Then was Tanner, who is thirteen years old with light blond hair and curious blue eyes. He folded his gray wings and set down Jet, who was three years old. Jet had jet black hair and bright green eyes.

After that was Jenna, who landed, folded her snowy wings, stepped over to me and grabbed my hand, her smile lighting up her strange golden eyes, her wavy brown streaked hair falling behind her shoulders.

Finally was Lilly, who landed and stepped over to Zack, who laced his fingers through her pail ones and kissed her strait brown hair, her big browns questioning.

"So what's going on?" Flutter asked, jumping off my shoulder and hovering in the middle of the circle that we had formed.

Smirking I said, "You'll see." Turning the direction of the house I said over my shoulder, "Follow me."

After a few minuets of walking we finally broke through to a clearing, in the middle the large white house, Cullen residents.

"No…don't tell me…" Flutter trailed off, trying to think.

Walking up to the front door I knocked and it opened up to reveal a shocked looking Carlisle.

I smirked and said, "Hello Carlisle."
Carlisle face split into a huge smile and he held out a hand. "Hello Shadow, how are you doing?"

I grabbed his cool hand and was pulled into a brotherly embrace. At first I froze, stiffening, before hugging back.

Pulling away Carlisle smiled and stepped to the side, motioning for us to come inside.

Suddenly there was a loud squeal behind me, "ALICE!"

Flutter was a blur as she zoomed forward and crashed into Alice's neck, hugging her as tight as her little arms could. "Flutter!"

We all filed into the living room, where the most of the Cullens were gathered. Edward and Bella were sitting on the Piano bench smiling huge while Alice, Rose, and Jasper were sitting on the couch, all smiling as well.
Suddenly Nessie slammed into me, making me grunt and stumble back a few steps, straining not to wince as pain shot up my side.

"Hi, Nessie," I grunted.

"Ohhhhh, that had to hurt," I heard Zack say from behind.

"I'd bet, that's were he got hit earlier." Tanner replied.

Pulling away Nessie gasped and said," Oh my gosh! I didn't know that you were hurt!"

"No, I'm fine," I said, still trying not to wince as I shifted.

Hearing a light ruffle of cloth behind and to the right of me I smirked and turned my head slightly (although it didn't do anything for helping me see) and said, "Nice try Emmett, even though I can't see out this side I can still hear."

Moving in to my view Emmett pouted and said, "Come on, I was gunna scare you." Shaking my head I winced as a sharp pain shot up my side. "Right, of course you're fine," Jasper said, feeling my pain.

Seeing the look in Carlisle's eye I sighed and said, "You're not going to take no for an answer are you?"

Shaking his head Carlisle motioned for me to sit down. Sighing again I stepped over to the sofa and shrugged off my jacket. Looking over at my flock as I unbuttoned my shirt, I said, "You all can relax, their friends."

The Cullens all turned to them, noticing them for the first time. Looking unconvertible the others shifted as the attention was focused on them.
I said, "Guys, this is the Cullens. Cullens, this is my flock."

"Your Flock?" Edward asked. "And must you always have to teach them to shield their minds," He added.

I nodded and said, "Yeah. My own flock that we had rescued. Intro." I added to my flock.

Zack stepped up and smiled, "Hi, my name is Zack, I'm fifteen, been with the flock since Shadow decided to get his own flock. And came from a lab in Kentucky."

Stepping forward Lilly blushed and muttered quietly, "hi, I'm Lilly, and have been with the flock for two years now…and ummm...I came from a lab in New York." Letting her hair fall into her face, Lilly blushed a deep red and stepped back, pressing into Zack.

Stepping forward Tanner smiled and said, "Hiya! I'm Tanner, thirteen and came from a lab in Mississippi two years ago."

Two small hands appeared on his shoulder and Jet pulled himself up, looping his arms around Tanner's thin neck.

Smiling big, Jet waved. "Awwwww you are sooo cute! What's your name?" Alice cooed.

Pointing up at the sky Jet smiled again and said, "Vroom! Vroom!" Jumping off of Tanner's back he stretched his arms wide and ran around the room, exclaiming, "Vroom, Vroom! Vroom, Vroom!"

At the confused looks on the Cullens' faces I said, "His name is Jet. We saved him from a lab in Kansas 'bout six months ago. He doesn't know how to talk very well yet." When the Cullens all nodded in understanding I motioned to continue.

Stepping forward, Jenna smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Jenna. I'm fifteen and been in the flock for four and a half years now and came from a lab in Colorado." Walking over to were I sat with my shirt unbuttoned she slipped her hand into mine and leaned against the back of the sofa, letting her head rest lightly on my shoulder.

Alice looked back and forth between us a few times before she squealed, "OH MY GOSH! DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU TWO ARE TOGETHER!"

Feeling a blush brush my face I nodded and said quietly (not that he doesn't always talk quietly but I felt like that was needed) "Yes Alice, we are together." Alice squealed again and I looked over at Jenna to see her face was bright red.

"Awww...how sweet…When are the little baby birdies gunna come out?" when Emmett said that I could feel my face burn red hot and felt Jenna's hand tighten on mine.

"Emmett!" Esme exclaimed, about to say more when she noticed that she could use this as an opportunity to cook, she eagerly said, "You all must be hungry!" Nodding, I laughed with the Cullens when she whisked away, eager to cook.

Pulling off my shirt, the attention was turned to me as the horrible bruises came into view. Sucking in a breath Jenna sat up, lifting her head off of my shoulder. As Carlisle Inspected my side I could feel the flock's eyes on me, or more like the scars on my chest and torso.

Brushing her hand over one of the three scars I had gotten during my first visit here years ago, Jenna looked in my eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Sighing I looked down and said, "the three large ones were from when I had first gone here five years ago, and was attacked my an eraser, and leading up to meeting the Cullens. The others are from when I was captured a little after that."

Shaking his head Carlisle said, "Now that I think about it, how come every time I meet up with you, you are hurt?"

"It just shows you my luck," I replied, wincing again as Carlisle pressed his hand against my side.

"Looks like you have two cracked ribs, but we'll have to have an x-ray just to be sure." Carlisle said, striating up.

"No, we aren't going to go to the hospital" Zack automatically said.

"Don't worry, all we have to do is step upstairs," Carlisle said soothingly.

The others blinked in surprise and I shook my head and asked, "Why am I not surprised you have a x-ray machine here?"

Carlisle shrugged and motioned for me to get up and follow.

Jet, who was standing next to Tanner skipped over to Rose and stopped in front of her, cocked his head to the side, looking puzzled. Smiling big he pointed at Rose and said, "Pretty!"

Blinking, Rose smiled and lifted Jet into her lap, and saying, "How Sweet!"

I followed Carlisle up the stairs with Jenna and Zack, leaving Lilly, Flutter, and Tanner with the other Cullens and Jet, we entered a room across 'my' old room, the one that I stayed in when I was hurt last time.

"This was the same room I patched you up the first time," Carlisle said, brushing his fingers over the table that stood in the middle.

After taking the x-rays Carlisle inspected them, pointing out the cracks in the three of my ribs. "You're lucky that you didn't hurt the ones that were broken before," Carlisle commented. I nodded and felt Jenna's hand tighten on mine.

Jenna traced a finger over the scars on my arms and hand while Carlisle taped my side up, putting it in a special brace that aloud movement but kept my ribs secure.

"I'm just glad that I don't have to be in one of those uncomfortable casts," I had said when Zack had asked how it felt.

After Carlisle told me to take it easy for a few days and I put my shirt back on we went down stairs to find my flock all sitting at the table eating.

When I had sat down and gotten some food for myself Alice bounced in place and said, "So because you all are going to stay here for a week, we are going to go the festival in Fort Angels."

"How-," Tanner started, but I cut him off.

"That's her power, so don't even ask." When he nodded I looked over at Alice and asked, "When are we going?"

"Once you are done eating!" Alice exclaimed.
