Also, Iggy is 16, Max and Fang are 19, ella is 15, Nudge is 14, Gazzy is 11and Angel is 9! (just go with it ;P)Enjoy!
CHAPTER 1
Max's POV
I sighed happily as I looked at Fang. He glanced up, and his almost-black eyes met my brown ones. He gave me a totally-fang smirk, and I went back to packing, blushing slightly.
We were living in a house with Ella, my mom and the rest of the flock, Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Iggy, Fang and I. Fang and I were packing for a trip to California; we were renting a beach house and having a nice, relaxing vacation. The younger kids were staying with mom and I was looking forward to some alone time with Fang. We had been dating for just over a year, and finally mom gave in and let us take a vacation alone. Of course, when the younger kids had heard about this excursion, Gazzy wrinkled his nose, Iggy (being a bit dirty minded) whistled and clapped Fang on the back, (earning a scowl from me,) and Angel, Nudge, and Ella had squealed and immediately taken me shopping for suitable clothes. My old clothes were just fine, thank you very much; I thought as I shoved the new, girly, much more revealing clothes in my dresser and packed my older clothes in the suitcase. Fang and I were leaving early tomorrow morning, and, I hate to admit it, I was looking forward to this trip. I usually didn't like beaches, they were crowded and full of girls showing off obviously fake bodies and guys trying to one up another, seeing who could get the most girls, swim the fastest, or was the best beach volleyball player. And another reason: I have wings. So do the rest of my flock, accept for Ella and mom. It's a looong story, and I am not going to bother telling it. However, over the previous summer, we had all developed a new skill; we could now make our wings completely disappear, seeming to just sink in to our skin. Let me tell you, it was a relief looking normal, even if I knew I wasn't.
"Suppers ready!" Mom called from the ground floor. I glanced at Fang and we headed to the kitchen in a comfortable silence, holding hands.
After a delicious supper, (with chocolate chip cookies for dessert, of course) Fang and I finished packing and headed to bed, looking forward to the next day.
Angels POV
"She is sleeping!" I said, and Nudge, Ella and I snuck into Max's bedroom. We knew that Max wouldn't willingly bring the girlier clothes on the trip, so we decided to replace all her old clothes in her suitcase with her new ones. We replaced her boring tees with some crop tops, tighter shirts and tanks in a variety of colors, her old shorts and jeans with skinny jeans, short-shorts, cutoff jean shorts and miniskirts. Her boring one piece bathing suits looked like something a grandma would wear, I thought, before replacing them with skimpy string bikinis. Her beat up sneakers and flip flops were thrown aside by Nudge, and some stilettos, ballet flats, and stylish sandals were put in their place. Finally, we put a curler, straightener and some styling accessories for Max's hair and some makeup in the toiletries bag. I quietly zipped up the suitcase and we snuck out of there like spies. Once we were in the hall, I burst into giggles. Nudge and Ella followed suit, laughing hysterically.
Ella's POV
After the clothes-switching prank, I stealthily crept back to my room and went to sleep, chuckling in my mind.
IN THE MORNING
My alarm clock was blaring, and I slapped it to quickly shut it up. From the sound of it, I was the first one up. Like usual, I thought, shrugging on a bathrobe and some slippers. I went to go wake mom up so she could make me breakfast. The door opened with a squeak, and I stepped inside the room. This was not good. I could see how sweaty my mom was, even from far away, and when I went to go feel her temperature, she just croaked a hello. My mom was burning up, with a high fever.
Gazzy's POV
Ella came into my room and woke me up. Together, we woke the others (excluding Max and Fang) and hurried into 's room. Iggy silently closed the door, and we gathered around for a meeting.
TEN MINUTES LATER
"Can I break the news to them, pleeasseeee?" I begged. I wanted to get back at Max for calling me a little kid, and when she heard the news, I knew she would be devastated. I grinned evilly. So much for alone time with Fang! I thought. Bye-bye, romantic beach vacation!
Well, this has to be the shortest chapter EVER! Sorry, but I wanted to leave a bit of a cliffie. Sort of. Anyways, review please and thanks! Also, I have finished the first 4 chapters so #2 will be up tomorrow. Love you, readers! ~mollu
