Hidden Truths

by You May Call Me Master

The flock is not alone. There is an unknown group, working to help and protect the Flock, and Fangs Gang. Kai, the leader of the group known as the Sentinels, has strong ties to one of the bird kids. But they don't even know until she messes up and is seen. Set after Angel. Rated for violence. My first fanfiction, but not my first story. Fax and Eggy in later chapters.

1. Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Anything that is familiar belongs to James Patterson.

Takes place after Angel.

Instead of only Max using first person, another character uses it, as well.

Chapter One

Told by Kai

I take a deep breath. I do not want to be here right now. But I have to. If he is here, then it's my job to watch.

I slip into the throng of people. Hating the fact that people are surrounding me, I push through until I see him and his small gang step out of the crowd, that fact that they hate it as well helping only a little. I lean up against the wall, attempting to look casual. Which is virtually impossible in such a situation, but I can get over that.

I peek around the corner, seeing him talking to the head of the company through the window in the door. I notice the head start to get a little frustrated.

~Okay, time to save him. To a degree, at least.~

I stride into the room with a confident air. "Sir, your shipment has arrived."

"Ah, good." He says, standing to walk out of the room.

"Sir, uh…" I lift my hand to indicate the group of teenagers.

"Oh. Have them talk to Nancy. I have to leave."

I celebrate in my head. Nancy is against The School. "Follow me, please." I say, then turn and walk swiftly back into the now empty hallway. I had taken the time to study where the offices were before pretending to be a worker.

With confidence I lead them to her offices.

I feel much better after getting out of the professional dress. Back in my normal high tops, skinny jeans, and dark shirt, I actually look my age—seventeen. I am walking past the building when the doors fly open, and the small gang runs out.

The leader is in such a rush he runs into me, I stumble a little. He grabs my arm and my hand ends up on his back. I feel his wings. He takes off running again. Knowing his mistake; he turns to see my reaction. And instead his eyes widen when I let just a little of the tip of my own wing show. I then turn and walk away, hiding my wings yet again, content.

Even though they weren't suposed to know of me, I'm happy that at least one of them do. It's easier. Besides, I can't help but want them to know.

I also can't help the smile that creeps onto my face.

~Go on, Fang. Tell the Flock you know of another. But you don't even know part of it.~ I think.

Shoving my hands in my pockets, I head back to the "house," humming to myself.
