Powerful
Chapter One
Max's POV:
"Guys, we need a plan. Staying at my mom's place is out," I said wistfully. "If we stay here, we put her in danger."
"How about we get something to eat?" Gazzy suggested. Nudge nodded vigorously, no doubt starving.
I sighed. We weren't getting anywhere. It had been two months since we had rescued my mom and since then we'd stayed at her house. But it was too dangerous to do so anymore. We would eventually lead murderers here, wanting to finish us off and taking Ella as a hostage probably.
"I meant going to stay somewhere else," I explained through clenched teeth.
"Oh. Ok. Well what about doing that 'fly-around-to-random-places' thing?"
"Angel, sweetheart, we need something more permanent. Like maybe a month per city, you know?" I sighed as Gazzy yawned. "Ok, guys, it's getting kinda late. We'll talk more in the morning." We stacked fists and headed to our rooms.
Angel, Nudge, and I headed to our room and the guys headed to theirs. Nudge flopped down on a single bed while Angel and I climbed under the sheets of a double. Voice? Any bedtime advice? Any at all? No? Ok, fine. It wasn't like I expected an answer, but it was worth a try anyways. After a few minutes, I drifted into unconsciousness.

The next morning, we woke up and got small packs of our stuff together. It was just after eleven when we had finished our breakfast and were ready to leave. I hugged Ella and Mom.
"Bye Mom. See you soon," I told her.
"Be careful. Call me and take care of the flock. I love you and I am so proud of you."
I nodded. "I love you too." Then I took off, running 50 feet and swooping up in the air. The flock mirrored me, and we raced off, into the clouds, flying to an unknown destination.
