After All These Years
~~I really should figure out how to make a line break but until then I have to settle for this~~
ANGEL'S POV
I'm holding onto Gazzy for all it's worth. All I've ever known is the Flock. Iggy and Nudge aren't my friends; they're my brother and sister. Fang and Max aren't just leaders; they're like my father and my mother. Now they're taking us away from them.
Jeb came into the house with some other people from the School, and announced they were taking us back to our families. Naturally, we were confused. Most of the Flock had reason to believe that our parents were dead, but apparently not.
"We're taking you home," Jeb says.
"Home?" Max asks. "We are home."
"No," Jeb replies. "You aren't. I'm taking you home to your real families."
Excitement bubbles throughout the room. Even Fang is showing a bit of emotion, a small smile playing at his lips. Everyone but Max.
"There's a catch, isn't there?" she asks slowly, as if daring Jeb to tell her she's correct.
"Well, you won't be able to see each other of course," says a scientist behind Jeb.
"WHAT?" yells Max. "YOU ARE NOT, AND I REPEAT NOT, TAKING MY FAMILY AWAY FROM ME!"
Nudge, Gazzy and I race over to her and hold onto her legs (or her waist in Nudge's case). Fang has a hold of her hand and Iggy grabs onto Max's other arm.
"Max," Jeb says calmly. "They're not your family. Your family is waiting for you somewhere else."
Next thing I know, the world goes black.
Gazzy and I woke up in a car, being driven by someone we don't know. I'm assuming we're being taken back to our so-called "families" who can't be all that great if they were willing to donate us to be science experiments.
The car pulls up to a huge house with a long driveway. Everything is modern and gigantic (and that's in a bird kid's point of view). The driver comes and opens the door. Still holding onto Gazzy, I step from the small, dark car to the blinding light and space of the world. I've never liked being cramped into small spaces for a long time.
Then the doors open.
~~And again, would someone leave me a review on how to make one of the stupid lone breaks? ~~
GAZZY'S POV
Angel is holding onto me for dear life, and I'm glad because I would be terrified out of my mind if she wasn't. When the doors of the mansion swing open, there's a woman and a man standing there, with golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes, just like me and Angel.
"Oh my," whispers the lady. I'm almost half her height, and I'm only ten. She must be at least thirty if she is who I think she is β my mother. "You're so big. Zephyr, Angel, come here and give Mommy a hug."
So I was right. She is my mom, and that must be my dad next to her.
"No," Angel says defiantly, her voice quavering. "You're not my mom. You never will be my mom, ever."
"Max is my mom! Not you! You gave us up to be science experiments, so we could be tested on! Do you know how much that's affected our lives? Do you know what we're even capable of?" I ask.
Our parents just stand there shocked.
"Zephyr, she is your mother, and I am your father and you are going to do what we say. We gave you up for the future of the world. I don't regret that decision. You two need to stop being such brats and come to terms with the fact that we are a family," says the man angrily.
"I might be related to you by blood, but that's all! That is the only connection between us! You aren't my parents, I won't let you be! Max, Fang, Iggy and Nudge were there to take care of us when you never were! They are our family! You can go to hell!" I yell.
The people who are pathetic exscuses for parents grab me and Angel by the ear and drag us inside. We're shoved into rooms β separate rooms β and I pray that someday I will be reunited with Max again. I just want to be with my family.
My real family.
A/N: In this story, Dr. Martinez isn't Max's mom, Iggy never met his parents, and everyone's parents are alive. Just thought I would clear that up, because my friend didn't understand. Anyway, should I continue? I thought it was a pretty good idea myself when it came to meβ¦
Review (pretty please?)!
