DISCLAIMER: Alex, Hunter and Brett are mine. Everybody else is James Patterson's.
MAX POV
They were so cute.
She looked so much like her father it was scary: same knowing yet unreadable eyes, same dark hair, same tanned skin. But her wings were different. She had instinctively unfurled them when she started crying. Her wings were mottled red, brown, black, white, and tan. Those were all that looked even halfway like me.
Her brother looked like me, but had the same mottled wings. He had my blond, wavy hair. Fang said he read like me too. His eyes showed the same emotions; his body reacted in the same way. He had opened his wings when his sister did, and both started crying. Fang grabbed Brett while I soothed Alexandria.
Fang and I got married about a year along with Nudge and Iggy. Of course, Nudge and I got pregnant about the same time, but she had her son Hunter two weeks before I had Alex and Brett.
The Voice had finally disappeared. Fang was glad I would have no more brain attacks and wouldn't force the Flock to listen to a presence in my head.
NUDGE POV
Max finally had her twins! Alex and Brett look so much like their parents it's almost as if Fang and Max were kids again. But their wings were different: They were lots of colors as if all birds of prey had contributed their plumage to their wings. The wings are so pretty!
My Hunter looked neither like me nor like Iggy, but somewhere in between. His hair was dark like mine but had reddish-blondish natural highlights (A/N: Yes, you can have natural highlights. My sisters and I have them. Mine are brownish-reddish in my black hair.) His face looked like mine but his body was Iggy's tall and lean.
His eyes surprised us the most. They were green. Set in his tanned face (his skin tone matched Ig's more than mine), they made a stunning contrast. He should have had brown eyes, but had managed to get green. Genetics for you.
FANG POV
All the Flock and even Ms. Martinez and Ella say Alex looked like a carbon copy of me and Brett one of Max, except for the wings. How did they get their wings? It looked like somehow the colors of Max's wing and my wings had been swirled together into wings worthy of a hawk or eagle. Too bad they had to keep their wings hidden most of the time.
Hunter, Nudge and Iggy's son, looked like his parents had been Photoshopped onto each other. He melded them perfectly. His wings were a hawk-red with swatches of black. They somehow matched perfectly with his green eyes.
After Max managed to "save the world"(the Voice left her alone), the entire flock came and lived with Dr. Martinez and Ella. They were kind enough to give all us "strays" a home. Dr. Martinez made us go to school and finish what we would have if we hadn't been running away from Erasers and mad scientists all our lives. Max. Iggy, and I finished high school. Nudge was in middle school; both Angel and Gazzy ended up in elementary school. Thank God most of the kids left us alone, but I think that had osmething to do with the fact that both Max and Nudge had engagement rings on their fingers. It would have been very annoying if we had to constantly shoo away people who tried to go on dates with us.
When Max and I got married along side Iggy and Nudge, Dr. Martinez manged everything for us. We four had gotten decent jobs, so we payed. It would be too much if we made Dr. Martinez do that too. We still give half our income to the doctor and Ella to help pay for the food we consume. Each of us eats more than two grown men. Dr. Martinez put Iggy in charge of the kitchen "officially" because she saw that he was the best cook even though he was blind, but we all made the cookies together. Max was right; these cookies were heaven on earth.
Four years later(Pretend four-year-olds can talk like this and excuse bad grammar.)
ALEX POV
Today Mom, Dad, Iggy, and Nudge are taking me and Brett and Hawk for a flying lesson. We've been going since we were two, but back then we all had to be held up by our parents. Today Dad said he'd teach some moves he and Nudge learned from hawks when they stayed with them in a cave. Mom had gone down to help Ella and stayed with her a couple of days. Mom said Dad had tried to teach her a long time ago, but that didn't go so well. So Mom's learning with the rest of us.
BRETT POV
I always wished I could fly like Dad. He makes it seem so easy. I could watch him all day; so could Mom. Today, Dad said he would teach us how to fly like him. Mom didn't like the idea at first but me and Alex got her to listen to Dad. Then we got Iggy and Nudge and Hunter to come with us. Yea! We're going to have so much fun.
Do y'all wanna know how the flight goes? I might put some FAX and NIGGY in it. R&R. Hawk is Alex's name for Hunter; he calls her Ria.
