I don't own any MR characters, JP does.

Chapter 1

It all started that day we were going to the mall. Nudge begged and begged, and we finally got tired of it and agreed to go. On the way there we saw some girl who was probably 15, or 16, give or take a year. She appeared to pregnant and was walking into a walmart.

"Geez, some people. I mean who gets pregnant at 15?" I looked at them. See, I was pregnant, but none of the flock knew yet. The baby was Fang's, but I didn't want to tell him yet; I was too scared of what he would say.

"Well, I don't think it's that bad. We shouldn't just judge her." Everyone looked at me weird.

"Seriously? Who are you and what have you done with Max?"

"I just don't think we should just judge her out of the blue."

"Sorry, I just thought that it was bad for someone to be pregnant at 15." See, this is why I haven't told them; its comments like this. I frowned but let it go.

Then came the incident at the mall. As I walked into one of the stores that Nudge dragged me in I saw an eraser; or at least I thought I saw one in the mirror. I whirled around, looking behind me. No one was there, but I was sure someone had been there.

"Maaaaxxxxx." I looked all around, but being surrounded by mirrors it made it hard to see. Suddenly all of them were filled up with the image of an eraser. I jumped, but quickly recovered, punching each mirror to make it brake. Finally all of them were broken and only an eraser remained. I punched him square in the jaw, but he didn't seem to feel it. He punched me, and boy was he strong. I rotated my jaw, popping it back into place. I kicked him in the chest, but he only went back a half-step. He started punching me rapid fire, and even though I fought back hard, it didn't take long before I was on the ground, the eraser standing above me. He pulled his foot back, getting ready to kick me in the stomach. Just before the blow came I yelled.

"Stop! I'll go with you!" He stopped and looked at me funny; I couldn't have him killing my baby. He grabbed my arm and lifted me up, about to punch me in the head.

"If you knock me out my flock will come; but if I walk with you they won't follow us." He looked at me weird, but lowered his arm and turned back into a human.

"If you try anything you're coming to the school unconscious weather your precious flock wants it or not." I nodded and we started walking out of the store. When we got to the front of the mall I heard footsteps approaching fast. I sent my thoughts out to Angel.

"Tell everyone to stop." I heard the footsteps stop, all except one. They kept coming but then stopped as we went out the door. We turned the corner and quickly pinned him against the wall.

"I'm going to tell you once and only once; come near me again and you'll be dead faster than you can snap your fingers. I took his head and smashed it against the wall, knocking him unconscious. I quickly stepped over his body and ran into the alley way. I saw the flock come out from the mall and look around. I sent my thoughts out to Angel.

"I told you guys to stop." Her head instantly snapped up, but I put a mind block up, not letting her track where I was. I watched as they looked around, searching for me. After seeing that I wasn't there they quickly shot into the sky; Fang lingered, looking into the alley way. Finally he took off, after frowning at the empty alley. I hated leaving them, but they would hate it if they knew I was pregnant, and I didn't want to endanger my baby. It was probably best for me to lay low and fall off the grid.

And that's exactly what I did. I moved to Virginia and got a house in the country part. I work as lawyer (I know you can't imagine me doing that, but I'm actually really good at it.) My daughter's name is Poppy Ride, and she looks a lot like Fang. She has short black hair with black eyes, but she's not as silent. She has Fang's looks and my personality. She's 5 now, but already has an attitude of a 15 year old me. I told her that her dad is out saving the world from bad guys, which isn't a total lie, and that he's with her family, called the flock. I only have one picture of them in my house; it's on my nightstand. I was brought back to the present as Poppy came downstairs for breakfast.

"Mommy, can I have some cheerios?" I smiled at her as I grabbed a bowl.

"Sure sweetie." I pour some of the cereal into a bowl and then stepped back and gave it to her. I turned on the tv to the news and walked into my bedroom to get my clothes on. I chose a black skirt with a ruby-red blouse and went to brush my hair.

I finally decided that it was good enough walked back to the kitchen to see if Poppy was done with breakfast yet. I walked in to see it empty, her bowl in the sink.

"Poppy?" She came running out of her room, already in her clothes.

"Mommy, can you braid my hair?" I smiled. I learned how to braid when she was little, because apparently all the girls at school braided their hair.

"Sure sweetie." I grabbed a brush and pulled it through her short, wavy hair and started to braid it. When I was finished I grabbed her book bag and put it on her back. Closing the front door we walked out to my black Saturn convertible and got in. I drove down to the preschool to drop Poppy off and guess who was there; yep, that's right, the flock. They were getting ready for the tour today; must be here. I walked Poppy inside and signed her in at the front desk I waved good bye as she headed to her classroom.

"Bye Poppy!"

"Bye mommy!" As soon as she rounded the corner I went out the door to grab my bag. My office was just across the street, which was good case I needed to get Poppy out of the blue from school one day. I looked down into my bag, looking for today's case papers. I started speed walking across the street; if I was late again my boss would have my head. I started walking faster and ran right something; or rather someone. I dropped all my papers and fell. I looked up to curse the guy I ran into but fell silent when I saw it was Fang.

"Hey, I'm sorry, let me help you." I glared at him.

"You've done enough already." He looked at my face for a minute, his face showing confusion.

"Do I know you?" I ducked my head to the ground, picking up my papers.

"No, you don't." I finished picking up the papers and stood up. He caught sight of the nametag that I wore at the top up my skirt; crap.

"Max?" I started walking fast; using the serious tone I talked to my clients with.

"My name is Max, but I don't know you." He caught up with me and grabbed my elbow.

"Max, don't do this." I shook him off.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Max."

"I said let go of me." I started seeing red and knew that my eyes had turned red when he started backing up. I saw a deeper and deeper shade of red until he had a backed up a couple of feet and I turned around and walked faster back to the office. When I got inside I turned around to see him really close to the door; I turned to my receptionist.

"Luna, I don't want to see anyone today, so don't let anyone up to see me, ok?" She smiled

"Ok Max."

I walked up to my office and breathed a sigh of relief; they weren't going to see me today. I sat down at my desk and pulled the case papers out of my bag. I had a court case tomorrow and I had to win. I was brought out of my train of thought as my phone rang. Clicking the button with my pencil I sighed.

"Yes Luna?"

"Um, I know you said that you didn't want to see anybody today, but there's a guy here who says it's urgent." Ugh.

"Is he wearing black clothes and has black hair and eyes?"

"Yes."

"Don't let him up. Tell him that I don't want to see him." I clicked the end button and put my head down on the desk. I looked out my big bay windows to the street below. No one was around except for Fang. He was looking at all the windows until he came to mine. He started backing up towards the street. What is he- o crap. He was going to try to fly up here! I got worried, but then realized that he couldn't get in here; the glass was unbreakable. I watched him as he came up and crashed into the glass, not even making a tiny crack. I smiled, knowing he could see me there, safe behind the glass. I sent thoughts out to him.

"Leave."

"No."

"You and I both know who's going to win here." He frowned, but then smiled again. I read his thoughts, and frowned, horrified.

"Don't. You. Dare." He smiled, knowing he had won; he flew down, back to the parking lot where everyone else was. I had to get out of here, because when people started coming, he was going to send a mob in to get me.
