Max, Fang, and Iggy are 19, Nudge is 16, Gazzy is 13, and Angel is 11.

Max POV

Once again we were doing my mom a favor with this whole 'Flying to Fight Pollution' thing she had started. Today we were soaring around New York, just like old times right? WRONG! This time we were staying in a decent hotel, eating piles of food, and going on the Today Show. This was a pretty comfortable situation for everyone except for, guess who, me. I mean don't get me wrong, Meredith seems like a nice lady and all it's just that I'm still not into letting our secret fly. (Get it? Fly?) Still, it's what my mom wants so I suppose I'm cool with it. I glared down at the packed streets of NYC and smirked. They can't even see us! I thought merrily. My eyes raked the myriad of people below, all of them weaving in and around each other to get to wherever they were going. Max! Trouble from below, something is trying to ,well, kill us… Angel started to say- er I mean place thoughts into my head- again, but I stopped her. Calm down sweetie I'm sure it's just- NO MAX you don't understand! Can we just, fly somewhere without people? Please? I adjusted my wings and coasted left. The flock followed.

Angel POV

"Max can Gazzy and I go swimming for a while?" I asked using the full force of my puppy eyes.

Max sucked in a breath. "Ya I suppose so," she glanced over at Fang and he nodded, "you can go alone can't you?"

I sent her a silent yes and Gazzy and I rocketed towards the beach. These days we had to get some breathable air, what with all the hook-ups. First it was Fang and Max now Iggy and Nudge, I mean c'mon give me a break! In mere seconds we had landed on the soft, white, powdery sand. I immediately dove under and searched for some non-human swimming buddies. My mind was completely preoccupied so I didn't even notice what was in store for us.

???? POV

"Targets in sight," I breathed into my communicator. I stared fixatedly at the cheerful looking siblings who shared the same golden blonde hair and blue eyes. They were children! Why would a kid be any problem for us? Oh well. I lifted my rifle into the sunlight, aiming for the heart of each. I couldn't do it! But I couldn't NOT do it… The gun went off twice and I tried not to watch. I heard the gasps of pain but they didn't register. It was done, over, they were dead.

Anna POV

Walking along the sand and finding two kids passed out and surrounded by blood wasn't on my to-do list today, but it happened so whatever. I looked each of them over. One was my age at least and the other slightly younger. CRAP! It's not like I can call for an ambulance I'd end up getting caught. I grunted lifting the first one into the back seated of my car. I crammed the second one in too and headed off down the street. The cops never stop cars unless they're speeding, so they didn't even notice a thirteen -year-old driving down the road. I pulled into the old abandoned house that was my home, other drivers had long ago veered off in different directions. I pulled the two out of the backseat and brought them in laying them each on long-forgotten leather couches. I began inspecting the wounds quickly. Bullet holes, I could even tell what kind of gun had fired them, but I won't bore you with details. I patched them up and sat in wait for them to wake up. I wanted to hear about those wings before they escaped or something.

Ok end of chapter. Sorry it's so short I'll try harder next time. PLZ COMMENT I NEED FEEDBACK!!!!!!
