Chapter 1

Maxs POV

It's been two years since we destroyed Itex. We are now living with Jeb and my mom and Ella. I know it sounds weird, living with Jeb now but Mom convinced me.

I was playing Egyptian Rat-screw with Iggy and Fang. If you're wondering the table's white.

Anyway over the past couple of years we have developed more 'abilities'.

Fang-Breathing under water, move invisibly, telekinesis

Me-Breathing under water, super fast on land/air, Voice, control over elements, psychic

Iggy-See on white, feel colors, sonic boom, healing

Nudge-Magnet, hacking, empathy

Gazzy-Signature scent, mimicry, teleport

Angel-nothing changed

Well all was calm, for now. Nudge and Angel were upstairs discussing Zac Efron, Gazzy was playing on his PSP, Mom and Ella were at the clinic, and the Jeb-ster was watching TV.

The TV was on the news channel and the anchor, whose name was like Philip or something, said, "We have just gotten news that Valencia and Ella Martinez were taken forcefully from the town clinic. Please call our land line if you have and information."

I used my speed to run to the TV; I stood stock still watching the TV. Jeb was like a statue, staring at the TV.

"We have to go and find them!!! You know as well as I that they could be killed!!!" I snapped out of my shocked state.

Apparently so had Jeb," No, you are going to go to bed and let me worry about this for tonight. The advice I will give to you know is that you need to go to Forks Washington. "He added seeing my face. By this time my flock had gathered around us; their expressions different on each face. Angel looked as though she was about to cry. Gazzy looked like a deer in headlights. Nudge was somewhere between tearing someone to shreds and sobbing. Iggy was absolutely ready to make heads roll. And Fang . . . well let's just say that his anger was very close to mine. And me well I was ready to go out there and get names ANY means nessacery. Hopefully the more painful ways. I mean who do they think they are to come waltzing in and take them!?!?!?!

"You actually think that I'm going to sit here and not do any thing?!?! They. Are. My. Family." I was majorly pissed.

"Yes, I expect you to, for once, just trust me on this" Jeb pleaded with me. I looked into the future; something was blocking me from seeing to far but I knew that the best thing to do was to listen to Jeb.

"Fine I'll wait but not for you." I told him. "Bed, now." I told everyone else. They all ran upstairs so they wouldn't face my wrath. I turned to go upstairs myself when I heard Jeb say, "Goodbye, Max. I love you." I turned around looking at him.

"Did you say something?" I asked steel in my voice. His eyes looked so sad as he watched me. No! Don't think like that! He tore your life apart!

"I'm sorry Max. It wont do much but I am." I was speechless as I walked upstairs. Fang was waiting for me at the top. He raised one eyebrow in a question.

"I'll tell you in the morning." I answered him in a daze. He nodded knowing that I needed some time to think about whatever Jeb had said.

He took my hand and gave it a squeeze. It was his way of saying 'if you need someone I'm here'. Then we stacked fists and I went to say goodnight to the rest of the flock.
