Hello again! Gonna jump right into the story but to remind ya guys, this story takes place after FANG. So I wouldn't want to ruin the biggest part of the story.

Fang POV
It's been twenty years-twenty long, painful years- since I've seen my Max and the flock. It's now March 29th, the day before I left our home in Colorado.
So what have I been doing all these years? I had a plan. Before I left, I did a little research through Jeb's old files. I found where my mother had lived. She lived in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania (A/N I love it there). It's a cute little town in the Appalachian Mountains near the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. My mother was a very kind woman. Her name is Arabella Ravenna, mine being Damien Ravenna. She's normal height for a thirty-two year old, and she's really pretty, if that doesn't sound too strange. I must have gotten my hair and skin color from her, Italian genes, I guess, and the eyes from whoever my father was. I learned from her that I wasn't supposed to happen, she was raped at seventeen, but I was the best thing that ever happened to her. She had to give me up because mom couldn't afford to take care of me and my grandparents didn't want to take care of the newborn child of their seventeen year old daughter.
Her husband, my stepfather, Raphael Valdez, was also sort of kind. Every few months or so he'd come home drunk, but he was cool. I had a little brother and sister, Gabriel and Azura, that were twins and Raphi's kids.
I moved out of there when I was nineteen, but I stayed in Wellsboro, about a five minute drive from mom's house. Cool thing was, the old owners of the home couldn't bring their horses with them to their new home, so technically, I got four free horses. My big boy is white-ish in color with gray specks around his hooves and lower body. I guess he looked the horse from the Neverending Story, so the other owners named him Artax. The other stallion, Spirit also named from a movie by the same name, is sort of golden-ish with black around the hooves and muzzle. My two mares, Shadow and Midnight, are pure black, other than Midnight who has a white mark on her nose, kind of like a star shape.
Also, during the years, I've been finding School after School and destroying them one by one. In one School, somewhere in Derry, Ireland, there was only one experiment. Another avian-hybrid. She was so young, about a year, and I couldn't set her free and let her fend for herself, so I let her come home with me. She had really dark, red hair and eyes that were almost glowing green. I treated her like a daughter, and she thinks of me as her father, but still calls me Fang, like I tell everyone to. She called herself Devin Ravenna, so that's what we know her as. That was six years ago.
But today, right now? Right now I'm in the air with Devin about half way to the cave where I finally get to meet Max again. Only another day and I'll get to see her beautiful face again. Only another day and we can fly together again. I'm hoping she brings the flock, too. I miss all of them too much.
It was Devin that brought be out of my thoughts. "Hey Fang, can we land. I'm getting hungry." she said.
"Oh. Yeah. Opening there in the middle of the woods, you see it?" I asked her. Short, sweet, and to the point.
""Yeah." she told me and started to lose altitude. I followed suit having our little race to get to the ground, like we always did. This time I let Devin win.
After we landed, we made our way into the town. I think it's some where in Nebraska. It was a pretty cool town, reminded me a little of Wellsboro from the small diner that used to be an old train car. So for the memory of home, we ate there. It wasn't a large meal, like were used to having, but at least it got Devin a little less focused on her hunger.
In about a half hour, we were back in the air. The sun started to set and we landed again this time in Utah. We camped for the night in a little cave. Don't ask me where is was, 'cause I have no clue. I didn't need to keep watch. Any kind of attack was very rare. Unless our attackers were mosquitoes. But just in case I always slept lightly.
I felt the sun rise before I saw it. It's early orange and pink rays heating my face. I woke up Devin and after a quick meal of peanuts and cashews, we were on our way again. This was the farthest west Devin had been in her life. One time I took her to Tennessee, but that was it.
Speaking of her, she was still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as we neared the cliff.
"Ready to meet Max in a while?" I asked her as we landed. Devin just nodded and I could tell she was a little scared being out this for west. It was about ten o'clock in the morning and I'm thinking Max won't get here earlier than twelve.
The cliff was exactly as I remembered. Around in the valley, the hawks were waking and starting to fly as well. For old times' sake, I had a really quick flight with them. My quick flight turned into a long one and I only figured it out because I saw six black shapes in the horizon.
It had to be the flock, Dylan now included. I landed and found Devin sleeping again. I swear, if there's one thing that girl likes more than flying and food, it's sleeping. I woke her again and we awaited the flock.
No more than twenty minutes later, Max, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Dylan landed ten feet from me.
A/N: ahh. A good cliff hanger. Always fun. Like some of my other stories, I'm going to take a poll!
Now people, this is really important, you will decide the story line with these votes….
The question is: How should Max react?
1) should she be happy (including crying and sobbing) to see Fang again
2) should she be angry (including face slaps and verbal abuse) that he left her
3) should she happy (Crying and sobbing) to see him, but angry (Slapping and verbal abuse) that he left her
Another: what should they do after they have the little happy/sad or sad or happy episode?
1) Fang should bring her to Wellsboro
2) Fang and Devin go to Max's house
3) Whatever you can think of
The Choice is Yours! (god I'm sounding like some kind of monk or something)
Luvs yaz!
