You know I bet most people consider the flock and I pretty lucky, I mean we run our lives ourselves (mostly…assuming everything isn't really "a test" engineered by the fabulous mad scientists via Itex), we can go wherever we want, we don't have anyone telling us what to do (besides maybe my voice), we don't go to school, oh and did I mention we can fly.

Of course we are runaway genetic experiments, constantly forced to fight off butt ugly flying werewolves, always running into people we think we can trust, never knowing if we will even have a place to sleep let alone eat, deep breath being totally unaware of the location of our parents and I can't forget to mention that on top of all of that I have to save the freakin world! Joy.

Nevertheless, the flock and I live a quite stupendous lifestyle considering everything we've been through and I wouldn't want to change a thing about it because it's made us who we are today. Honestly I mean I'm not trying to sound like a total sap but it's true. I don't know who I'd be without my flock. From Angel who's like my own daughter, to Gazzy who's so brave and loveable, Nudge who although talks way too much never fails to make me laugh, Iggy whose wit and kindness never fails to astound me, and Fang my best friend and most trusted flock member.

In my meditative state I barely noticed Fang sink down next to me in the sand. We sat in silence as I watched Angel and Nudge chase each other into the waves and Iggy swoop down from the air and grab Gazzy when he wasn't looking. Two seconds and I heard a huge splash and another as Iggy dove in after. I laughed quietly stretching out my wings and lay back, placing my arms behind my head. The soft warmth of the slowly setting sun felt amazing as I listened to the giggles and screams against the crash of new waves.

"Max…" I heard Fang murmur in a half whisper.

I waited till he continued but I heard nothing but soft breathing. Did I imagine it? I thought. I sat up not bothering to wipe the sand from my bare arms and turned to him. I was struck by how beautiful he looked in the fading light, his hair casting a dark shadow across his face covering his dark eyes.

"Yea what's up?" I softly replied back. I scanned the air for any possible attackers but only saw a retreating sun falling slowly behind a puffy cloud casting surreal orange red streaks of light painting through the darkening sky.

"Nothing never mind uh we should get going." I watched as Fang stalked down the small sand hill to the flock probably announcing our departure. Confused as ever by Fang's behavior I decided to let it go until we found a place to sleep and I could talk to him privately. Thinking of which, I bet we can find a nice hotel around here and just crash there for the night.

After Fang gathered the troops and we took off it was already getting dark which was perfect if we wanted to land somewhere close to a hotel without being noticed. Nudge found one first and I almost chocked cause it was so huge and probably just as expensive as it was huge or more! I started to say no but unfortunately Mr. Moody fell victim to Angels "Bambi eyes." I shot him a thumbs up and a sarcastic smile which he obviously didn't find too funny 'cause he flipped me the bird (get it?! haha ba-da-BING!) when the younger kids turned to march into the lobby. I pretended a gasp and followed the kids inside.

Damn was all that came to mind when I finally got a look of the room. Angel was describing everything to Iggy and I heard Gazzy whisper to Nudge, "This is just the lobby?" I ruffled his hair as I walked past him and reached the concierge desk. Fang came to stand next to me looking up at the ceiling adorned with a painting of angels, whistling quietly to himself. A few seconds later a guy in a red uniform greeted us with a smile and asked "How may I help you?" Smiling back I asked for five rooms. "Sorry but we only have two doubles and one single left but I can refer you to another hotel if you would like?" I looked behind me to find two pairs of "Bambi eyes" staring back at me. Oh crud apples, I thought. I turned around and told the guy we would just take the doubles. He handed us the keys and directed us toward the stairs.

"Thank you so much Max! We've never stayed at such a nice hotel before! Can I room with Nudge? Please?" Angel exclaimed. "Uh yea sure but don't stay up too late!" I read the number copying it to memory, 207, handing the card to Angel who immediately took off after Nudge up the stairs. As I watched them race away I turned back to find there was only Fang and I left in the lobby. I faced Fang to question him but he just pointed to my hand which was now holding only one key card. "IGGY how did you-but-ugh!" I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye to see Iggy and Gazzy sped up the stairs after Angel and Nudge.

"Guess it's just us. After you roomie." Fang gestured toward the stairs. Wait what! I mentally screamed. I'm sharing a room with Fang? Dude, Max chill you wanted to talk to him anyway didn't you? Relax it doesn't mean anything. Then again he did kiss me in the cave…
