Iggy: She's not smart enough to create something as genius as us!

Me: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll have you know I go to a magnet school.

Iggy: Pfft. I bet your failing.

Me: I have a 4.0 mister know it all.

Iggy: Well then, miss I'm so cool because I go to a magnet school.

Me: If I were you, I wouldn't be dissing me. I have the ability to give you your sight back.

Iggy: Fine. I'll stop. For now.

Me: Time for the next chapter!!

Ari (A/N: Do none of you remember that? Like in the first book she says something about a scar over his right eye. And it's in the manga. Of course, I could be wrong about the book. I'm positive about the manga though).

I swear my heart would've stopped beating if I hadn't experienced him coming back from the dead before. It was pretty darn close to stopping now, with Nudge so close to him. I wouldn't have been worried, last time I saw him he was good, if I hadn't seen that sick smile. Next to me, Fang was picking something up off the ground. I looked over to see him slipping on a shirt (black, of course), his eyes never leaving Ari.

"Nudge!" I screamed, just seconds before she took Ari's hand. Okay, it may just be me, but how many people forget the face of a person who had tried to kill you and your family more than one time in three-or-so months. No, I'm serious, anyone?

I didn't think so. Angel still woke up in the middle of the night from nightmares about Fang falling from the sky and Ari kidnapping her in that strawberry patch what seemed like years ago. It didn't seem... logical... that Nudge wouldn't remember what Ari looked like. That worried me.

All the human's had left in what seemed like seconds. At least that was one thing to be thankful for. No innocent spectators would be hurt in the impending fight scene.

"Fang, go get Iggy." I said to him just as Angel screamed. My head whipped around, thinking something horrible must have happened to her.

"TOTAL!!" she cried as two Erasers ---and yes I did say Erasers--- went after him. One of them picked him up and the other went for Angel. I took a deep breath in, like I needed it, and dove into the pool after Gazzy, who was experimenting with holding his breath underwater. Considering he'd been under there for about five minutes, I was guessing he got his gills. A tiny part of me wondered if Iggy and Nudge would get them too.

When I got to Gazzy things were exploding on the surface. Well, figuratively speaking. At least two Erasers had hit the pool running, coming after me, Gazzy and, maybe, Angel. I hoped she hadn't gone after Total and was keeping herself safe. Yeah, right. This was Angel the seven year old mind reader we were talking about.

I dragged Gazzy to the surface and punched the nearest Eraser in the face. He seemed dazed, which surprised me. Were these new Erasers super weak? Because if they were I would be so happy.

They can't swim, Max. Angel informed me. That was a perk. Kinda sucked that we were in a water park, now didn't it? Gazzy kicked the other Eraser back into the water where he thrashed helplessly. I couldn't help it, I laughed. If they were smart, wouldn't they wait until we were in our suite or someplace with less water? I pondered over their stupidity as I slammed my hands together on the first Erasers ears. He howled miserably and blood came out his ears. Never a pretty sight to see. But it was way more natural for me than say, wearing a bikini to a water park in a hotel.

I looked over at Iggy, who blew up a few Erasers. Okay, so he wasn't in need of my help. Nudge was away from Ari thank God and dealing with two Erasers. She might need me. I would check up on Fang and Angel before I went over to ---

My thought process was interrupted by Angel's scream, again. This time, it wasn't for a little winged Scottie. It was for me. "MAX!!" she screamed and I immediately started running (did any of you know how hard that is to do in water) over to her. She wasn't hurt, thankfully, but I saw her problem.

God Fang do you have to get into all-or-nothing kick-ass fist fights every time you see him? I couldn't help but think. I made a mental note to ask him later.

Unlike the last time Ari came back from the dead he had almost killed Fang. This time, Fang looked like he might kill Ari. Behind them a familiar person appeared in the doorway and called Ari's name. Fang and Ari stopped fighting for about three seconds. Which was enough time for me to yank Fang off of Ari and yell, "Up and out!" Then I flipped both Ari and Jeb off. I didn't bother with codeword's or being discrete. Those were things Jeb taught us, he'd know every trick.

My mom once told me about this guy named George Santayana that once said that the family is one of nature's masterpieces. Well, he obviously never met my family or he'd defiantly be second thinking things. Jeb looked almost offended that I would flick him off, while Ari had to have four Erasers hold him back from ripping either my or Fang's throat out of our necks.

"We'll be back." Ari promised me. I opened my wings and jumped into the air. "And trust me, Maximum. One time you're not going to be able to save him."

Jeb rolled his eyes and told the Erasers to take him away and calm him down, then looked up at me. I was more concerned with my flock. They were all safe in the air now, even Total, who Angel was hugging fiercely and talking to him, telling him he was her brave little man and that she loved him. It was actually kinda cute.

"Maximum," Jeb said my name like he was asking for my attention. I looked down half an inch, just so I could see his face. "I keep telling you, it's all a test. You shouldn't run from me. I'm on your side."

I laughed, "Yeah. That's why you came with a whole army of newly created mutts and ---gee, thanks dad--- my back from the dead brother. I don't give a damn about you and your stupid tests. If you were really on my side, you'd quit this and leave us alone."

"I can't do that, Maximum." Jeb said crossing his arms but otherwise emotionless. "Then we're done here." I concluded and turned on my heals (if that's possible to do when you're in the air) and signaled my flock to leave through a conveniently placed skylight.

Max had snuck back up to the room and got our clothes the moment we left the water park. Thank anything holy. I may have an amazing poker face, but the idea of having to spend days and days until we got new clothes with Max in a bikini would've been...

Never mind. I'm sure you get what I meant.

So now we sit in trees about a two-hour flight away from that hotel. Max wanted to go farther, but Angel and Gazzy were about to drop from the sky as it was. Nudge and Iggy were arguing about whether or not Nudge could make a bomb and Max was trying to make them hush up and go to sleep. I was suppose to have first watch, but I doubted she'd be asleep anytime soon.

I mentally sighed and turned on my laptop. Max looked over when she heard me typing and watched for a little while, then closed her eyes when Iggy and Nudge finally fell asleep.

Welcome to Fang's Blog!

Date: Already too late!

You are visitor number: The generator broke again. I'll have Nudge fix it in the morning.

Ari's back and by the way he controlled Nudge into coming to him, I'd say he's going to be a lot worse than he was before. We're all okay, thankfully, nothing but a few cuts, bumps, and bruises. Angel thinks that the School might be open again, so heads up. Max is freaking, but she won't let anyone see it. I know because, well, I just know. Iggy and Gazzy say I should answer more questions, so I guess I'll do that, since I don't have anything else to say.

PeaceLoveandWings writes: You sound so hot!! Are you single?

My answer: No. Next question.

Pyromaniac: Great, you're taken. I want Max.

My answer: That wasn't a question and Max isn't single either. Next question that doesn't involve our relationship statuses.

MindFreak: I thought Angel could read minds. Why couldn't she hear Ari coming?

My answer: I don't really know, but I think it might have something to do with Ari's new freaky abilities.

That's all for today!

Fly on,

Fang.

Okay, so before anyone asks, I really really really like Ari. He's just awesome okay. I felt he made the books even more awesome. I mean, ever since he died, the books have been not good. Still pretty awesome and all, but not as good. So yeah, review. I wanna hear your opinion, even if you hate it. Tell me what you wanna see --- do you want Fang and Max to make out again? Do you want them to get taken back to the School? Do you want Iggy to get his sight back? Speaking of Iggy, do you want him to have an entirely new character as his girlfriend, or do you want Ella or Nudge, or no one at all? I'm open to anything and will try to use anything you suggest.
