Introductions, a good place to start
Chapter 1
"I'm huuungry!" Annie wailed, dropping back so she was in line with me. "You just ate" I grumbled, struggling to hold Blake up. Alice flew ahead next to her twin "Yes, but that was a week ago…I'm hungry too". Katy was next "Shouldn't we stop? I see a town down there", I passed her Blake who was fidgeting down in his makeshift carrier. "Sure yeah let's stop, if I'd said no you guys would just complain all the way" I grumbled.
Okay, I think you may be a tad confused no? Allow me to enlighten thou. My names Mike, I know what some of you are thinking "Who are you! Where's Max?" I'll tell yah, Max is dead I'm her son, and yes, you fan girls will be happy to know Fang was my Father.
Now you must be wondering who everyone else came from, or more importantly, what the pairings were. Okay, Katy you see her? The strawberry blonde dark skinned one? The one with the cream and dark brown wings? Iggy and Nudge, easy enough. Now how long did it take your little brains to figure out the next one? Ah! I see it in your eyes "Gazzy and Angel! But they're siblings!" turns out they weren't, turns out Gazzy loved Angel more than a sister after all. So now they've got the twins, Alice and Annie both look like Angel, Annie acts like Gazzy.
Don't like the story? Tough luck it happened…Ah Blake? Yeah…he's….different. I guess I'll have to tell why such and such were on the run so I can tell you about Blake. Oh joy, flashback…Better take out the popcorn.
I was 13, a year ago. Well since then our parents kept us in hiding, we moved a bit but we were good. They also liked telling us stories about the Erasers, Ter Botch, Ari. Gazzy always went over the top, but then Nudge or Max would lay the straight story. Lots of times though, they had to leave us with me in charge. You see the white coats wanted to test us. We were after all the children of the mutants. We had lots of unlocked genetic codes and what not with us. Well after one particularly long outing, they came back…But they were all different, except for my Dad, Fang. Mom was a lot more emotional, like permanent PMS but worse… All of them were like that, so one day Fang snuck out, to find answers.
Here's where my life went downhill. Max was sad, Iggy comforted her. Bam, a few months later, Max announced she was a having another baby, a little sibling for me. She said it was with Fang, and we all believed her. 9 months later, Fang was still gone, we had a new member to our growing flock little Blake. Guess what happens next? If we lived happily ever after, you wouldn't be reading this. No Fang came back, what's worse, he was exceptionally emotional too… One day, he Iggy, Max, Blake and Nudge went away, leaving Gazzy and Angel with us. We heard Nudge scream, Gazzy and Angel went to find out what. We heard more screams, so we flew to where we heard it.
I flew ahead; I inherited Max's super sonic flight. What I found…was a nightmare. There it was the bloody bodies of our parents. Then Fang, towering over the blood splattered body of Blake, his eyes menacing, knife in his bloodied hands. Blake staring up at him innocently. Instinct took over; I dashed in front of Blake, staring defiantly at Fang. He stared into my eyes, I stared into his. Mom always said I had his eyes. He fell to his knees, and wrapped his arms around me. I could feel tears falling from his face. "I killed them…I'm sorry" he gasped. "First Max, then Iggy, then Nudge. The Angel and Gazzy came…I killed them too." He chocked. I could feel tears running down my face too now, but I didn't dare speak. "They were my friends! I loved Max! And I killed them!". "Blake's your brother, Iggy's his father" he hissed. He stood up, letting me go. He looked at his hands, at the knife. I blundered to my feet, but it was too late. My dad was falling, knife plunged into his chest.
I sat there, stunned. I heard a chocked cough and turned to see Mom, opening her eyes weakly. Numbly I picked Blake up and shuffled over to her, kneeling beside her. She looked at me, "Mike…" she whispered. I nodded, unable to speak. She slipped off the golden wings she wore around her neck, a present from Dr.Martinez, grandma before they died in that mysterious cruise liner incident.
I remembered what she told me when I was younger, as I ran my fingers over the cool metal. "I'm giving this to you soon!" she'd say happily. I'd look up at her "Then you better take care of it!" I'd say cheekily.
I expected her to pass it to me, but instead she slipped it over Blake's head. I didn't react; she raised her hand and stroked my cheek. "Take care of the flock; take care of your brother". Then, she was gone.
