There was a knock on my door that made me slightly awake. I groaned, turned my back on the door and covered my head with a pillow. Trying to block away another day of unexpected surprises.
Another knock, then followed by Fang's voice. "Max, wake up. Someone's waiting for you outside." Something in his voice made me think that I shouldn't get my hopes up.
I groggily stood up and went to the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and combed my hair.
Hey, it doesn't mean that I'm a bird kid means that I can't have fine hygiene. Jeesh. People these days can be so judgmental.
The first thing that I saw when I opened my door made my day 100% impossible. I saw Jeb sitting on the couch talking to Mom and the flock. They all looked like as if they accepted Jeb as part of the family. But even if they accepted him deep within, which was totally impossible, they didn't show it in front of me like this. So, this was a shocker.
"Oh, I didn't know you were here." I said as I neared them.
Their heads all snapped up. I noticed that they were wearing the same sickening grin and their eyes were… I squinted trying to see if what I saw was correct.
My eyes practically popped out as I realized what they really were. Before I could turn around and run towards the door, they started to morph.
