Chapter 1: Newcomer

So, there we were, having the most peaceful time of our lives. Well not really but whatever. Me and the flock were in a cave somewhere in California. Iggy had that insisted we just have to go to California because of all the celebrities and stuff. Pshh, yeah right. More likely the beach bunnies.

Fang had first watch, but I couldn't fall asleep so I just sat up and just stared out into space. "Can't sleep?" I heard Fangs silent voice, question. "Nope," I replied, staring at the moon. I got up and went to sit at the mouth of the cave.

Then, I saw a bunch of figures fighting in the light of the moon. From, the looks and sound of it, a bunch of Erasers. But who were they fighting? I mean thank God it wasn't us, but still, curiosity killed the bird kid right? And anyways the bird-kid looked like they were loosing, so I motioned to Fang and pointed at the fight in front of our cave. He nodded and I woke up Iggy and quickly explained to him what happened and told him to keep watch. He grunted in response.

Me and Fang ran to the entrance of the cave and took off.

"Sorry to crash this party, but it looks as if I really don't care," I snarled at a Flyboy before kicking it at the base of its spine. It immediately dropped. Then, I did a quick look-see around us. Fang was fighting three Flyboys on his own. The other bird-kid was not doing so well. She had been fighting, but now she just had given up and was trying to keep air-borne as 5 flyboys ganged up on her. I flew over to them and placed a round-house kick to another Flyboys spine. He immediately dropped and the other four ganged up on me and left the other bird-kid alone. "It is time for you to die," said one Flyboy in a robotic, monotone voice, aiming a kick at me. "Oh, please. Like I haven't heard that one before," I scoffed, ducking, flying under it and kicking its spine. I turned and punched one, kicked the other and went behind the last kicked its spine, then the other two.

I looked around for he newcomer to see her wings fold in and her drop and lose altitude. Fast. I dived and went on hyper-speed to catch her at about 200 miles left to the rocks below. I shuddered, just looking at it. But, man she was heavy. "Fang!" I yelled. He dived down and draped one of her arms around his shoulder and holding one leg, holding half of her while I held the other half.

We flew back to the cave and put her down on the floor. I sat down on the floor and asked the girl "Who are you? What's your name? What are you doing?" Fang shot me a look that told me to shut up and relax, let the girl answer.

"My name's Bella. I was at the School and I escaped and I've been on the run. The Flyboys were chasing after me and that's when you guys showed up. And, I swear to God I'm not evil or with the School. Please trust me." She replied.

I'll have Angel see about trusting you.

But for some reason, I had a feeling she was hiding something from us.

"Um, ok. Sure." I said. "Are you all right, Bella?" asked Iggy, coming over to us. "Yeah," she said looking at him.

"Oh, um. This is Iggy, that's Fang. I'm Max. Over there is Angel, Nudge, Gazzy and the dog is Total. Please don't tell him I called him the dog," I whispered pointing to each of them in turn.

She laughed.

After that, we just settled down and Fang took second-watch. I went to sit next to him. He started rubbing nice, warm circles on my back between my wings, just like last time when he kissed me. I shook that thought out of my head and just laid back but he draped and arm around my shoulder. I looked up at him and he just smiled. So I laid my head against him and soon after I fell asleep.

Fang woke me up a while later. He placed a finger to his lips and pointed at Bella. I looked at her and she said "Alice no!" I thought she was awake, but she was just sleep talking. "Leave her alone," Bella said again. I just looked at Fang and shrugged. I shot him a look that said we'll ask her about it later. "I'll take over watch. You get some sleep." I told him and he nodded.

I just sat there listening to Bella's sleep talking, wondering what vampires had to do with it because she sure did say it a lot.
