A Different History

Firefly's POV

I sat up and glared at Jeb. There I was, chained by my left ankle to the wall in the dungeon in a giant honking castle in Germany! I was not happy. Half of my family—Max, Nudge, Angel, and Total—along with the reformed Ari were with me here. Fang, Iggy, and Gazzy—the other half—were all on their way to help save us and save the world. I demanded, "What about me? Who are my parents?"

Jeb took a deep breath and said, "Your parents are Udonna and Leanbow of Briarwood."

I rolled my eyes and said, "If you're lying, I promise you this—you will never see the light of day again."

I nodded and Jeb said, "I'm not lying." He knew full well that I always kept my promises.

I nodded, and then Ari died in Max's arms during the riot.

I flew to her side and held off as many of the Flyboys as I could.

After Max saved the Director, I walked over to her, and demanded, "Who are my parents?"

She shrugged and I threatened, "Tell me or I will kill you!"

She nodded and said, "Udonna and Leanbow."

I nodded and Max, Nudge, Angel, Total, and I all went to Paris and then back to the U.S. where we reunited with the guys.

As Max hugged Fang, I muttered, "You like each other, now hurry up and date each other, Max and Fang."

They glared at me and I took off running to Dr. Martinez's house.

Max agreed to let me go to Briarwood, on the condition that I stayed with the Flock long enough to attend Ari's funeral. I agreed.

After Ari's funeral, I left and headed for Briarwood.
