Chapter 2

Ella's POV

I stepped outside with Magnolia at my heels. I was just walking around the back yard while I waited for Magnolia to finish her business, when I heard her start growling. I looked over to see her staring into the woods; her hair standing on end as a low growl left her mouth.

I felt the strangest sense of Deja Vu, when a girl stepped out of the woods and said, "Please, help, my friend has been hurt."

"How bad?" I asked, ready to go get my mom.

"I don't know, but she's bleeding a lot and she wasn't moving." her voice started to crack so I said, "I'll go get my mom; she's a doctor."

I ran inside and yelled, "Mom! There's a girl outside and she says her friend's hurt really bad!"

"Okay, I'm coming!" I heard her run down the stairs with her medical bag in her hands.

Rain's POV

When Torch came back I was almost in hysterics, but I did my best to look calm when she looked over at me and Daisy. Two people followed after her, a younger girl, and a woman who seemed to be here mother.

As soon as she saw me, she whispered to herself something that sounded like, "Oh my goodness, she looks like a girl fang." I ignored her, mainly because there were more important things to worry about, but also because I was really confused why she would compare me to a female tooth.

The other woman seemed to be the girl's mother. She was carrying a medical bag and she walked straight to Daisy. She put on a pair of those white doctor's gloves before she started to wipe some of the blood off Daisy's back.

Her eye's widened slightly as she saw her wings, and dread filled my stomach when she said, "Ella, go call Max, tell her we found more people like her."

By that point, I was glaring at her so hard, that when she looked up at me, she flinched, but she said, "Max is my daughter, she has wings too. Trust me."

I looked over to Torch and I could tell she was thinking the same thing as me. Yeah, right.

She introduced herself as Dr. Martinez. She said that we could call her Valencia, but that just felt weird. Dr. Martinez said that we should move Daisy to her house, but she would need help. Torch came over and lifted Daisy's legs while Dr. Martinez gently lifted her torso. Torch turned her head and looked over to me, waiting for me to start walking.

"Um, go ahead without me, I'll be there in a second." She nodded then together, she and Dr. Martinez carried Daisy through the woods.

As soon as they were gone, I lifted my shirt up a little to examine my wound. It was still bleeding, and it hurt whenever I used my stomach muscles, which, sadly, was all the time. I poured a little water over it to clean some of the blood off, then took a wide strip of fabric and covered it. Carefully, I slipped my shirt back down and made my way to Dr. Martinez's house.

Max's POV

I opened the door to our hotel room and everyone ran inside. I would have been fine sleeping in a nice comfy cave or tree, but no. Everyone insisted that we stay in a hotel. I closed the door and instinctively did a 360 sweep of the room. Yep, all clear, no Erasers hiding under the beds.

Nudge and Angle were looking at some fashion magazine, Iggy and Gazzy were hunched over what looked to be robot puke, whispering quietly, and Total was at the foot of the bed, sleeping. I sat down on one of the two beds, letting my mind wander, when I felt warm breath on the back of my neck. I snapped my head around to find Fang behind me.

"Would you stop that?" I yelled.

"Stop what? Br-"

"If you say breathing, I will punch you."

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"So, what now?" he asked quietly. Before I could reply, my cellphone started ringing.

I flipped it open and answered, "Hello?"

"Hey, Max. It's Ella." She replied, sounding kind of panicked.

"Ella, what's wrong?"

"I had just let Magnolia out, when this girl came out of the woods. She looked really scared and she asked me to help her because her friend was hurt, so I got mom. When we got there, there was a girl lying on the ground and her back was bleeding, and mom went over to look at her and-"

"Ella! Point!"

"The girl had wings!"

"Okay, El. We'll be right there." I hung up the phone and looked around to find my Flock watching me.

"Sorry, guys. We have to go my mom's house. They found some people with wings." I heard the usual chorus of groans and protests, but they still moved around to get their few things. Less than ten minutes later we were in the sky, headed to Arizona.

As soon as we landed, I ran into the house, not bothering to knock. Two girls were sitting on the couch; I assumed that they were the girls Ella was talking about.

One of them had her knees pulled up to her chest; she had shoulder length black hair with hints of red in it. Oh joy. She had dark-ish skin, it was a little lighter then Fang's, and her eyes were dark brown, again, a little lighter then Fang's. She seemed so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice us come in, but the other girl did.

She walked in front of the first girl and looked at us in a way that clearly said, "I don't want to fight you, but if you hurt her, I will rip your head off." She had waist-length black hair that was pulled up into a pony tail. She was hunched over slightly and had her arms wrapped around her stomach, almost like she had a stomach ache. Her skin was the exact color of Fang's and so were her eyes. In fact, she looked almost exactly like Fang, but more girlish.

Before I could say anything, mom walked into the room and said, "Oh, good, Max, you're here." Then she turned towards the other girls.

"Daisy will be fine. She will need to rest for a few days, but she'll live."

Rain's POV

I let go of a huge breath I didn't know I was holding. I looked behind me to see Torch smiling with relief. She stood up and gave me a hug. At first I tensed, but then I relaxed and hugged her back. I'm not normally a very huggy type of person, but this was cause for celebration; no one was dying today.

We turned back to the group that just walked in. The girl in front had brown hair with natural blond streaks. She was tan, and had brown eyes.

The dude next to her had black hair, the same olive tone skin as me, and brown eyes, but they were so dark they were almost black.

The dude next to him had strawberry blond hair, pale white skin, and cloudy blue eyes, and by the way he was staring at my nose meant he thought it looked funny, or he was blind. He looked creepily like Daisy, but older, and a guy.

The next was a girl she looked around twelve or thirteen. She was definitely African-American, she had thick, curly, dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes.

The last two were a boy and a girl, they were clearly related; they both had blond hair and blue eyes. The boy seemed to be about eight and the girl about six. The girl was holding a small, black dog that seemed to be sleeping.

The girl in front started to say something, but I wasn't listening. I had started to feel light-headed about twenty minutes ago, but now the entire room started to spin. I glanced down at my stomach to find that my shirt was soaking with fresh blood.

"Crap," was all I could get out before I collapsed onto the floor.
