Kayti's POV

The only one's who weren't uncertain about me joining was Iggy, Gazzy and Nudge. They seemed to think I was really cool. When we landed for a quick rest stop, Nudge asked if I would take my hair out of the bun. So I did.

It tumbled down my back to the middle of my ribs. They all stared in shock. With a curious finger, Nudge ran it through my hair. "It's so smooth…" she breathed. That was probably the shortest sentence I'd heard from her. "How'd you get it like that? I want my hair like that!"

I smiled sweetly. "Some scientists at the School did it. They injected some silk- stuff into me and it made all my hair like silk. Impossible to tangle, fairly hard to cut of break."

"So is that why it's so long?" Gazzy asked wondrously.

I nodded. "It's like hell trying to cut it. I used to have a pocketknife, but I dropped it in the middle of a fight with flying Erasers. I used to use that to cut it. Until I find a good hair salon, this stuff's just gonna keep on growing." I shrugged.

When we took off again, I hung in the back, near Iggy. He didn't seem to mind my presence. "What's the matter?" he finally asked.

"Huh?" I questioned. Please don't bother! I pleaded in my head.

"Something's wrong. I can tell. I'm listening to the way you're flying and it's not… calm or alert or anything. It's jumpy, scared. What's the matter?"

I scowled. "I'm not talking about it."

"Why not? You know that if you don't you could possibly go into a stress com…" he stopped right as Max yelled out, "Erasers! Nine o clock!"

I got myself ready. I'd fought these ba… bad guys plenty of times. I could do it again. I shook out my hair as one of them swung a kick at me. I ducked it as he morphed and growled, "Ah… the magnificent Kaytlynn has found our Flock. Lovely. Now we can add to our collections of experiments."

"Don't—call—me—Kaytlynn!" I growled, emphasizing each word with a punch. "Only—my—family—calls—me—that!"

I saw Angel battling an Eraser… with mind control. Iggy was having some trouble with his Eraser; he had a nasty looking black eye. Gazzy and Nudge had teamed up and were punching the h-e-double toothpicks out of one of them. Max and Fang were each fighting three.

This had gone too far. I yelled, "Flock, cover eyes, pronto!" They all did just that. Beams of white light shot out from around me. I could see the faint color from through my hands as I heard the Erasers disintegrate, one by one. Finally I called out, "Safe," I was breathless. I was tired. I hurt.

Max did a role call, and everyone was there. But when she called out Iggy's name he whispered, "I can see…" We all froze and turned to stare at him

He turned to face me, his eyes raking over me and settling on my eyes. "Did you do that?" he asked shakily.

My vision was swimming. This is why I hate my power. Everybody else began to realize that they no longer had cuts or bruises, just scars. I nodded as my wings folded in and I plummeted down to the Earth.

Iggy's POV

I heard Kayti yell out "Cover your eyes, pronto!" I heard strange noises and suddenly, I could see fingers over my eyes. Through them a bright light was shining. When Kayti called out safe, I removed my hands. Everything was in Technicolor. I could see. Max called out roll call and it just slipped.

"Did you do that?" I asked her. She looked drunk for a second. Then she nodded—and dropped from the sky. Without even thinking I raced down after her. I caught her in my arms, before gravity could have its plays.

We were all on the ground now, in the middle of a forest. Kayti was still unconscious, her head resting on a pile of leaves we'd found. Her silken hair was around her head like a halo. Oh yeah—did I mention that this girl reminds me as a misplaced angel? It's like God rejected her from heaven and sent her to Earth… in an angel form.

"Iggy…?" When I heard my name, I turned my head to the voice. Kayti was finally waking up. Finally. "Iggy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, all of you. I… I should have told you." Her voice faltered a bit as tears welled up in her ice blue eyes.

It was a miracle that I could see! She killed the, God knows how many Erasers that we were fighting! What was there to be sorry for?! "For what?" Nudge asked. Another short sentence. Whoa. Was everyone sick or something?

Kayti struggled to sit up. "I never told you my power. It's… It's called Fayte. If I kill somebody, or fight to keep them alive with this power, it drains me. Most of the time I only use it to heal myself and it makes me sleepy. I never used it to… to kill that many Erasers. Sure, I killed a few, but… Also, I didn't mean to heal all of you. It's part of Fayte's natural aura. It weakens me. A lot. I'm always afraid that I'll try too hard to kill something or keep something alive… that I'll end up killing myself." She explained.

Whoa. I felt my intake of breath before I heard it. That was new. "So… this… aura can kill people or keep them alive?" I asked. She nodded before collapsing back on the leaves, shutting her eyes again.

"I'm sorry…" she mumbled distantly, and she was asleep again.

Fang POV

I was starting to grow on this girl. I had a split lip and a really big cut on my arm when she yelled for us to cover our eyes. BAM—no more split lip or cut arm. Just a nasty looking scar.

Another reason why I liked her, she didn't look like she wanted to jump me when she first saw me… like every other girl that sees me. She looked at me like… a normal person.

Now Iggy can see. Because of the weirdest power I'd ever heard of. Fayte. Hm…

Part of me is glad this girl came into our Flock. But another part of me makes me wonder what's going through Max's head…

Max's POV

Good God. Fayte?! What the hell is that?! Jeezums! And I thought having a voice in my head was horrible! Hey! You know, I'm in your head! I heard that! Shut up. When Fang saw her with her hair down I wanted to get on my knees and kiss his feet. He wasn't fawning over her! YEAH! But part of me was screaming: He doesn't like you that way!!!! And I ignored it. I didn't care anymore. I'll admit it. I LOVE FANG!

Happy? Sure, jump and scream for me! No. I still have to figure out that ridiculous power…Fayte.

"Maaxxx…" Nudge. "I'm Hun-gary!" she whined. "Can we get soothing to eat—PUH-Lease?!!"

I glanced back. Kayti was chatting quietly with Iggy, Angel was petting Total in Fang's arms—or at least she was trying to. Gazzy was flying quietly by Nudge, glaring at her when she whined.

I took a deep breath. "Alright, you guys. Let's go get some food. I don't want to get my head chewed off by Nudge…
