Hey… this may seem cliché but it will have some interesting twists. I know that the plot is a bit overused but, you know I don't really care.

Cassie POV

Okay. You've heard of my mom, Maximum Ride. Well she left her friends and essentially family when she figured out that we were coming. Now, twelve years later, my twin brother Josh and I live with her in Oregon. It's really nice but I always wonder what our dad was like. I got my dad's looks while Josh got Mom's. Well, enough backstory, let's cut to the chase and get to the story.

"I'm gonna kill you Josh," I yelled chasing after my brother who is younger than me by about two minutes. Then I ran into a man when he walked into my way. "Sorry, sir," I mutter and keep chasing my brother. At first the footsteps chasing me don't really bother me as I assume they are my best friend Jen's. I keep running and am disturbed that they didn't drop off at the woods. I yell to Josh, "Josh, up and away."

He does as I tell him to. I follow him to my surprise when I turn around, the guy following us also has wings. Then I realize he looks freakishly like me. "Josh, go get Mom and meet me at the river rock."
Josh and I hang out at this really large rock by a river and we know exactly where it is.

"What is your name sir?" I ask this with a slightly wavering voice.

"Fang."

"Okay. Can you follow me D- I mean Fang?" I ask. He nods. Man, Mom wasn't lying when she said Dad was silent.

I lead him to the river rock. He looks around and I do Josh's and my signature whistle. He responds, repeating said whistle. He and Mom run up and Mom instantly pales.

"Mom," I ask tentatively, "are you okay?"

"Max?" this is the first the man has spoken since we got here.

"Fang?" Mom spreads her wings.

"Oh my gosh, Max, I thought I would never see you again."

Josh just now starts to realize that the man is our dad (he's slow like that, I was always the smart one) and runs up and hugs him.

"Josh, just because he's our dad doesn't mean you just run up and hug him without explaining first!" Crap. I just spilled everything.

Realization dawns on his face and he looks to Mom. "You left because you thought we wouldn't accept them didn't you?"
Mom just nods. He immediately pulls her into a hug and let's her cry- wait CRY!- my mom never cries!

"Mom?" then I see that she is happy. Actually, happy. She was always happy with us, but this was a different kind of happy.

"Come on, Max." Dad signals us to follow him and we fly to where I assume the rest of the flock lives.

"Just out of curiosity, Dad, why were you at our school?" I ask.

"I was picking your cousin up seeing as your uncle is blind and your aunt was busy."

"Okay."

A strawberry blonde man walks out and says, "Fang, buddy, wait who are these three people?"

"Iggy, you remember Max, right?" Dad asks as though Iggy would have forgotten.

"Of course," Iggy replies indignantly.

"Well, I ran into one of the twins I didn't know she had even had. Apparently they are mine." Dad says.

"No duh, you two were married," Iggy acts like a total jerk. I felt like punching him, "wait, when she left she was- she had twins?" Man, this guy is such a retard.

"Hey," I say casually.

"Okay, one of the twins. What is your name little girl?" he asks. I am almost as tall as him so this ticks me off and I punch him in the gut, though only enough to show him I mean business.

"Cassie," I reply.

"You hit harder than I expected," Iggy said righting himself.

"I can punch harder if you like," the look on his face was priceless, "oh and the kid to my right, is Josh, my not so smart twin brother."

"Hey," Josh yells.

"You two, stop bickering," Mom says.

"It really is you Maxie!" Okay, to my knowledge, no one and I mean NO one really gets away with calling my mom anything but Max so when she doesn't react I have to work hard not to laugh.

"Iggy, what did you say about Max," the lady who walks out must be my Aunt Ella.

"Hi Aunt Ella," Josh says. I elbow him in the ribs as hard as I can and he rubs the bruise that was already there that I just made a little bit bigger.

The look on Aunt Ella's face was one of shock she looked between Max and Fang and then at Josh and me.

"Flock. Come down here now. Max is here."

A group of four people comes down. There is a tall one eyeing my mom. This must be Dylan. I fail at resisting the urge to tell him to, "Back the heck off my mom. If you didn't see, she is already taken. And even if she weren't she's already committed to him. She had us."

"Who are you?" A young blonde asks. Must be Angel.

"I'm Cassie, Max and Fang's daughter," then gesturing to my brother, "and he's my twin Josh."

"Oh." she says.

"OMG! Max, you had kids! Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell us? Oh wait, I bet you thought we wouldn't accept them." She kept blabbering until I punch her with the same amount of force I did Iggy in the gut.

"Sorry, Cassie gets violent if she's aggravated." Josh said.

"Cassie?" I see Jack. A kid from our school. "What are you doing here? You live miles away."

"Yeah, our dad found us. By the looks of it, he wants us to stay here."

"And why aren't you grunting and punching me in the gut?"

"Already hit the one hour limit my mom set. I'm allowed to injure three people an hour. Iggy was one, Josh was two, though he shouldn't count," I add glaring at Mom, "and Nudge made three. Otherwise, that bruise on your gut would have just become a lot bigger."

He gulped. Truth is, he had an insane crush on me, and I hated his guts.

I heard the lady who I assumed was our grandmother walk down. She saw Max and immediately pulled her into a hug. Whenever anyone used to hug Mom except for us she would flip out and end up nearly getting killed. So we just looked at the spectacle with expressions that said, "What is this? Mom being hugged?"

"OMG, you guys should so see your faces right now," Nudge stops as she sees my fist raise ever so slightly.

"OMG," Uncle Iggy said starting to imitate Nudge, "You finally found a way to shut her up that doesn't involve getting your hand licked."

Josh and I look at him strangely while everyone else starts laughing. Apparently, this is a common joke. Okaaaaaay.

"Come in Max," a kid who looks slightly older than Angel says.

Then I decide to have a little fun and freak the crap out of this new family. I can read minds by the way.

Please review. Thanks for reading.
