Chapter 1

Max POV

It's been four months since the death of Neon and half the flock leaving me. In that time we've moved completely across the country. Now we have a house in Montana, and it's a really nice place. It's an old Farm house, so there is a barn out back and a set of stables. In the Stables we have several horses that we all love to ride.

Actually things around ere have been great since we moved here. Fang and I Are back together, Jeb's gone, and were all going to regular school! Life couldn't be better. Plus my mom and Ella got there own little safe house next door to ours. The Flock, or what's left of it, shares the house with Fang's gang and The Team. So the rooms are a little crowded.

Right now were all in our large living room just relaxing. The living room had high ceilings, not so high that you could fly around, but very high. There's about 4 couches and 3 recliners here.

Kate and Star were currently on the biggest couch reading "The Three Bears" To Angel, Ruby, and Matt. I have to say Matt and Ruby are great kids. Better then the flock when they were young. The Offer to help with dishes after dinner, and set the table. As well as helping out on the farm.

Ratchet, Holden, Iggy, and Xavier sat at our abnormally large dinner table playing a game of poker. Angel wanted to play but I wouldn't let her, due to her little mind reading gift. I Let her play once, but she had mind controlled Iggy to put all his chips in when she had a royal flush.. Believe me, she got in trouble.

Then on the smallest couch lye poor Eidan. The Death of her beloved Neon had hit her hard. She was lying on her side looking at the TV which was turned off. Even though she was from Ashley's team I still felt sorry for her. Neon had saved not only her life, but the life of there child. Yep you heard me right. Eidan's pregnant. Most of us are worried the child wont survive. She's been refusing to Eat or do anything but lye down on the couch and sleep. It worries me.

I sighed looking away from Eidan, going back to my little situation at hand. I was sitting on the only two person couch next to Fang. We were fighting over a lollipop. Mature right?

"Max! Give it back!" Fang said from beside me. I grinned keeping my mouth closed around the sucker. He frowned and narrowed his eyes pulling on the sucker once more.

'Fine. You've forced my hand. Maya?" I jumped up reading to make a run for it, when I was slammed down onto the couch. Maya stood over me with a grin. Ever since she found out she was my twin, she kept challenging me, trying to prove she was the stronger twin.

She slammed my head down on the back of the couch holding it there with her arm, using her hand to pry my mouth open. She used her other hand to yank the sucker out of my mouth and hand it to Fang. I scowled at her, but she did nothing but grin while returning to her seat.

"Max 4 Maya 5" Kate snickered looking up from the book. I scowled at her then Maya.

"Whatever." I said then turned to Fang, "That wasn't fair!"

"Since when do I play fair?" He mocked putting the sucker back in his mouth.

"Yo Tweedledee and Tweedledum" Iggy called from the kitchen, "Quit fighting over a sucker, there's a large bag of them out here!" I rolled my eyes just as the front door was opened and in came Ella and Mom. Ella quickly sat on one of the couches exchanging quick hellos before going back to Texting on her new phone.

She's been on that thing all week Texting her new boyfriend Justin. I mean He's cute and all but there one of those mushy couples. Practically worse then me and Fang! According to Iggy that is hard to do.

"Hi Ella, HI " Angel said brightly at them. Ella mumbled a faint "Hello" not looking up from her phone.

"HI Angel. Shouldn't you be at school?" My Mom looked up at us all "Shouldn't all of you be at school?" OH Yeah. Today was Monday. We did have school today. Ella didn't because her school was having Parent teacher conferences, so they got out at noon. It was 1pm now. We all had a full day of school since we went to public school, Ella went to a Private school for smarty pants kids. I wouldn't make it there probably ever!

"We didn't feel like going today"

"Translation she didn't want to beat up another red head for flirting with Fang!" Iggy Snickered entering the room followed the rest of the guys. Especially Holden who was shoving a huge wad of money in his pocket. Guess he won this time.

"Well...I Just came to feed Total" Total was our new dog. Angel had found him when she went for a walk. He was from the school too. He talked and had wings. He was pretty cool, but very annoying some days.

"That's Ok" Angel said petting Total who was curled up beside her, "I already fed him" My mom Nodded and went to the kitchen to make her some lunch.

"Hey Max? Can I-" I cut him off mid-sentence.

"No. You can not test an explosive in the house"

"That wasn't what I was going to ask..." He said smothering a laugh, "I wanted to ask if you were coming for a walk with us?" I sighed and got to my feet.

"Sure. We could all use some exercise," I said, and with that we all took off out the door and down a woods trail Fang and I had found a while ago.
