"Hey Ells?" a boy said to me. As I heard that voice, I turned to face my bestest friend in the entire world, Micheal Shwhinley (best guy I know). I know what your thinking, "Why in the world are you his friend with his last name and all?" Well, his mom got married the sixth time about two months ago. His mom made him keep the last name, he doesn't like it either..
"Ya Mike?," I said, smiling.
Suddenly, I turned to see Molly (our leader/flock member) come over from behind Mike and say,"Ellora we have to go. Pack up quickly. Mike help her if you must but hurry I'm getting their thoughts already. They're about half a mile away.
As soon as she jogged away to go tell Jason (second in command), I was zooming to pack what I could before trying to hide my scent from those pervs they call Erasers.
I then remembered my book, Maximum Ride. I ran to our lame excuses for "beds" and grabbed my book, instinctly being careful of my large wings (yes wings *coughs* idiots)
I could clearly hear Mike whispering, "Man, she can be such a pushover sometimes." I giggled at the fact that he was entirely right. I grabbed my lime green iPod, stuck in the earphones and blasted a song from Nevershoutnever to sound out anyone else so I could focus. I turned around and caught Mike right there only a few inches away from me, looking at me with caring eyes. I quickly took out my earphones and said,"You okay Mike?" He glared away, shocked I had noticed his stare and went to the hallway, waiting for me while I grabbed my light bag and both ran out the door, onto the lawn and leaped as high as I could go. As soon as i was in the air I slashed my wings out and mooved them up and down.
So let me introduce myself, what I am , and the rest of my pack. I'm Ellora Volgian, Ells or Ellie for short. Wierd name right? Molly and Jason named me. THOUGH I AM NOT THEIR DAUGHTER! eww That would be totally gross. I have wings and so do my pack. I am a avian - human Hybrid. We are sort of like Max but we are 4% Avian and 96% human. We are faster, more atletic and taller than Max and her "flock". I'm 5"4(though I should be taller). I'm also only 13 so I havent had my growing sturt yet. Big rest of my pack is like around 6' so I'm close. My wings are...different I guess. They are black that fade into gray and fade into a dark chocolate brown. They also have what are like speckles of light brown but are oddly shaped. It's hard to describe. I have black hair(though i'm white). A test in the Office went wrong and my hair changed. I have indigo blue eyes which everyone seems to love. I just dont see whats so beutiful about them. I also have an awesome power.TELEPORTATION . I've mastered it almost completely. The problem I have is my energy control. I can only teleport when I absolutely need to because once i travel where i want to i almost immediately black out. Right now i can go anywhere in the world and have 30 minutes before I pass out. Molly says that I'll most likely grow out of it when I have my growth spurt. Oh ya, my pack. Molly is our leader and has a 17 ft wingspan and is 16 years old. We usually call her "Captain" or "Mam". She doesnt like to joke around but is fun anyway. She is a total clutz but was the first one created. Thts what we call "a natural born leader" 's not funny really but still. She is 6" all together and boy does she love it. She bugs me all the time what with her heighth and mine. She really is like my big sister. She has short blonde curls but always has it up in a stupid pony tail which is always a mess. She includes hazel eyes and a lovable heart. Next up is Jason he's the second in command and Molly's boyfriend. They've been together now for a little over a year, which I find adorable but dont tell anyone I said that. Back to Jason. He's 18 but was created 2nd. He also is like Fang 'cause of his wings and all. He is in love with black and has black wings(like Fang) but they are speckled in white. His wingspan is a little over 20 ft so like 20 1/2 ft. Wow that was stupid... Also, he is untalkative unless he's around Molly, then all you see is a bright eyed , smiley, giggley teenage boy drooling over his girlfriend. I usually just leave and hang in my room when this accurs. It always bugs the crap out of me when it happens though I dont know why. He has big blue eyes and incredibly dark brown hair. People usually think we are brother and sister. Though we arent really. We just act like it when we go into town then he leaves to go glue himself to Molly's tiny and fragile hip. I actually had a major crush on him when I was 11 but Molly beat me to him. Now I'm extremely over him and have never liked anyone else since. Though he's untalkative he always chats with me in our minds. He knew I liked him but yeah. Oh ya he's a mind reader alright. But he never goes inside my head unless I "message him first" or if I'm acting wierd to him. He is a comforting guy just to let you know. Lastly there's Micheal. He is my BGFF or best guy friend forever. He's 14 and has a wingspan of 16" He's super fast at flying but never goes full speed when I'm with him 'cause he knows it ticks me off. He's a great guy and has one blue eye and one hazel eye. I 3 his eyes. THAT is what I call beautiful. His hair is perfect length and has a black texture with a blonde streak that shapes his face magnifiantely. Molly told me once that if she and jason never met and Mike was at least 17 she would totally make out with him. I found that extremely grody so i playfully slapped her arm got up and went out for a fly by myself. She grounded me when I got back though. It was a long time ago but it seems like it was last week.
Suddenly I heard something flying towards me like a bullet. It hit my shoulder and i saw blood come out of where it had plunged into my skin. I shreaked in pain and dropped but swooped back up pulling a gun out of my bag. Oh ya .
"Say Hello to my little friend!" I yelled to my attacker as I shot rapidly and saw the body drop while shouting in pain. Molly and my eyes reached each others and I gave a thumbs up while she did the same. Mike flew over to me to check out my gorey shoulder though it was already healing. He quickly yanked the bullet out and I gasped in shock. It hurt so badly. I just never realized it while my adreniline was pumping. Molly and Jason flew into town to get medical supplies.
"Holy crap! That hurts!" I yelled to him.
"ELLS! LOOK OUT! " Mike screamed, horrified. I hadent noticed that I was droping like a boulder but I shot out my wings so I could safely drift to the earth floor. I walked over to the idiot who thought he could bring me down and saw that he was unconscience from screaming. I knealed down and took the bullet from inside his leg. There was blood everywhere. On the bush next to the guy and on his clothes. I suddenly had an instinct to put my hand on his bloddy leg. So I obidded like a good girl. And guess what? I HEALED him! A bright red glow came from my hand and I watched as his wound closed. It left one inceribly nasty scar though. I moved the limp body and kicked dirt over the blood on the floor and on the bush.I looked to the sky. No one was there...My heart suddenly skipped a beat. WTH?
"Turn around Ells I'm right here." Mike spoke.
Mike's POV
She turned around with tears in her eyes like she had been told that she was some useless being on this earth, just like what happened one day at the office. She was 3 years old then.

End of Flashback...
Her knees apparently gave in 'cause she immediatly fell to them. I ran over and held her in my arms as she burrowed into my black t-shirt weaping lik she was a new born. She pulled in her wings as i rapped mine around her and me. I leaned down towards her and kissed the top of her head as I started to rock back and forth , trying to settle her down.
" Please never leave me Mike. Never disappear and make me think that you left. I need you Mike. I ...I just need you to stay with me. Without you who'll bak me up when Molly bullies me or when some guy hits on me at school? Without you, who would be my second pea in a pod?" she whispered as she glared up to look into my eyes.
I love you Ells , I thought, I'll never leave the girl I've loved since we first our little chats between our crates.
I silently sat there looking in her eyes as I listened to her choppy breathing. This is worse then when we were little. She actually cried right there. The Ells everyone else knows is strong and confident tht rarely even looks like she's about to cry, or even sad. I leaned close to her face so our foreheads could touch. Then something incredible happened.
Ellora's POV
He put his forehead on mine. I just flippin realized something. I LOVE MIKE! I always have ... Well not when i was a baby but when I was like 7 I was always happy to be near him. I always knew It! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Anyway..I stared in his gorgeous eyes and leaned in as he did the exact same... and let our lips touch. His were so soft and mine were to which made it really nice and it felt natural. The passion grew and we started litterally making out. Mike fell backwards and we both smiled. We just kept on kissing for another like 5 minutes. Then my ears caught footsteps behind Mike and stuff drop to the ground. I broke the kiss to look up at Molly and Jason wide eyed and mouths dropped hugely. I looked at Mike and thought how bad this might look. My legs were rapped around his pelvis though I had no idea how that happened and both of our hair was messy from puting our fingers through each others.
"Well, hello love birds!" Molly exclaimed.
"Hey Captain watado?" Mike asked as he sat up with me still on his lap. He smiled towards her though I could tell it was for me. It was like his smile for me and only me. It is his Ells Smile! hehe...You gotta love love...haha another punny...
