Annabel's pov

Me: shit, moms going to kill me

Ghost: Mommy said you can't say that word

Me: well moms not here and she might not even be….

Fang covered my mouth and Ari yelled my name before I could finish what I was saying. We pulled over on the side of the road. Fang and Ari got out the car pulling me out with them.

Me: what did I do?

Ari: Annabel how could you say that in front of your brother?

Me: well we don't know if she's even alive they said last time they wanted to eliminate her

Fang: you got to have hope that she is alive besides your brothers to young to hear that especially when you don't know if its true or not.

Me: how did you even know Fang

Fang: didn't your mom tell you Angels a mind reader

Me: yeah but I have been blocking her out

Fang: well you didn't that time

Ari: Annabel do you want to go get your mom or not?

Me: of course I do but we all know that this van is slowing us down

Ari: well what do you want me to do I have your brother and sister they can't fly

Me: I'll just go then!

I pulled out my wings and took off into the now night sky.

Fangs pov

me: She cant go by herself Max will be mad that's we didn't go with her.

Ari: well I cant leave the two kids who cant fly because Annabel wants to act out. she never acts likes this!

Me: what are you saying its my fault she's being a brat

Ari threw his fist at me but I never got the chance to dodge it. he ended up hitting me in the side of my stomach.

Ari: don't call her a brat you have no right to you don't know what she's been through or the secrets she has to hide for Max.

Me: She don't need to keep secrets if she wants our help but were wasting time you get ghost and I guess I will carry Aria but you have to bring her car seat.

I was upset about this whole situation. I mean first we find out the Max was living across the street and she didn't come back to the flock. now she's got her own little family. leaving the flock out. plus I was so frustrated with the fact that Aria was he biological daughter does that mean she was pregnant and who's the dad? I mean aria looks a lot like me she has black hair but she has Max's eyes. she was dressed in a black outfit that had pink lettering on the shirt spelling out princess.

I wondered why she let Ari in her life and I wanted to know who Ghost real parents were because he looked a lot like Max he had those Brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. he was a spitting image of her but a boy version. the only difference was he never really talked. I'm actually surprised nudge has been quiet this long. Iggy's in shock I think because he's been quiet too.

Annabel's pov

I didn't turn around or look back but I knew someone was following behind me Ari wouldn't let me go alone and I knew that. I flew in silent for about three hours and landed in the woods near a lake. Everyone came down behind me that is when I realized Fang had Aria and Ari had Ghost and the whole flock was with me.

Me: I thought you were going to drive

Ari: well your right the car was slowing us down so Fang helped carry your brother and sister because you took off.

Me: well I want to save mom is that so bad.

Fang: no its not bad we all love Max but we always stick together that's the way Max always had it

Angel: Yeah until she thinks she cant tell us things

Angel started crying and ran off Fang was about to go after her but I told him I would get her. I ran after Angel she had found a spot by the lake near where we landed and sat on a log. I sat next to Angel on the log.

Me: I know it's hard to believe but she never wanted to keep secrets she wanted everyone to be a family again.

Angel: then tell me what the secrets are why does she think we wouldn't want her?

Me: If I tell you then you can't tell anyone and mom knew you would be like this either that or you would read our minds. she knew I would have to tell you she said if it was an emergency I could tell everyone else but I think mom needs to tell everyone.

Angel: I can read everyone's but Aria's but Ghost, Ari and you block me out

Me: Aria power is a shield so she can keep anyone away from her and that includes her mind

Angel: That makes sense so please tell me did Max miss us?

Me: yes she missed all of you but mom and Fang got in a fight before they took her. Ghost and I were in the cage next to her and she said Ghost reminded her of you and the flock how she took care of yall. She was also pregnant With Aria When she got captured.

Angel: That means Aria is Fangs Daughter!

Me: yes but mom and Fang got in a fight over having kids because she knew she was pregnant but wanted to know what Fang thought about kids before she told him and Fang said it was too dangerous that they would be putting the flock at risk. He said some other stuff but mom wouldn't tell me.

Angel: Max should have told Fang. He needs to know

Fang: I need to know what?

Fang was walking towards us with nudge and Gazzy. Sadly he overheard Angel say that Max should have told him. I shot Angel a look saying she wouldn't tell. Mom would be mad at me if I told Fang, she said she needed to do it.

Me: that mom loved you.

Nudge: well I hope we find her. We could all go shopping for Aria and put her in cute outfits. And when she gets older we can do her makeup. Do you like make up Annabel? I know I do! I like to dress Angel up too. Max would never let me dress her up or put makeup on her. Did she ever let you pick her clothes out?...

Fang put his hand over nudge's mouth but quickly pulled it back.

Fang: eww she licked me

We all started laughing and walked back to where everyone else was. I sat next to Ari and Ghost. Ari was rocking aria to sleep and Ghost was curled up in a ball next to him.

Gazzy: So what has max told you about us?

Me: well that you and Iggy likes to make bombs and she told me about all the traveling everyone did. How she loved learning from the Hawks. She's told me a lot.

Fang: Why didn't Max come back to us?

Ari: Max has to tell you that her self and I know your probably dying to know why she let me in her life.

Fang face looked so emotionless I can tell what mom meant by him not showing any emotions but I swear somewhere in there I saw jealousy and anger. But that could just be eyes playing tricks on me since I haven't slept in almost twenty hours but Aria was finally asleep so Ari put her in the car seat. Fang didn't want to hold Aria in his arms while flying so he made sure Ari brought her car seat. Fang and Ari didn't trust each other so they both stayed up to watch and make sure no erasers showed up. I laid my head down in Ari's lap and dosed off.
