According to Angel in between answering all of Fangs questions she had realised that the only reason she was still able to see was because of what happened to Iggy, she felt guilty all though there was nothing she could do about it. Charlie was also curious about him and she wanted to talk to him about what happened because she felt she could connect with him in some way. Like she didn't have enough in common with Fang already. Eventually when Fang decided to shut up (only because his stomach started growling) I was about to suggest us going to find some food when Charlie invited us to come stay with her because Harry wouldn't mind. So here we were standing in the front hall of her house which wasn't big but wasn't small either. Inside it was quite different. The colour scheme was white and every colour under the rainbow with it, everything was modern bright and comfy. Oh yes the couch was like heaven.
"So I've just rung Harry and told him the details and he said it's fine. But he won't be home for another half an hour because he's in some meeting planning this year's semester. Oh he's a teacher by the way," she said whilst moving he hands about apparently she didn't like staying still. "So I take you guys will eat anything? Because Harry said I should just makes us all what ever because he's already eaten. So how does spaghetti and meat balls sound?" And the sound of food all of our faces lit up, oh how we loved the joys of being able to have whole meals instead of just scraps.
"Do you want some help with that because you'll be making loads and I can cook a bit" Iggy quietly suggested so with that She and Iggy were in the kitchen making tea, Nudge and Angel had found some of her magazines and were looking through them, Gassy was on her brand new Play station 3 and total was sleeping, which just left me and Fang who were looking around the house to make sure that this was safe and there were no surprises waiting for us.
"Wow. You have family. You have a twin. You know I can't quite process that" I said as we were looking upstairs and had just walked into a room we guessed was Charlie's because of the posters of different bands whom I had never heard of all over the walls.
"Yeah. Never would of thought it" he said as he walked over to a poster looking at it.
"You ok?"
"What? Oh yeah I'm just trying to get used to the fact that I have more than just you and the flock" just then we herd a voice from down stairs that we didn't recognise so we raced down there before anything could happen. I knew this was to good to be true. When we walked into the kitchen Iggy was standing over a pot adding various herbs laughing at some thing with Charlie and a man. The man who turned out to be Harry was tall, thin and lanky, he had bright red scruffy hair that hung just above his eyes and had a warm welcoming smile.
"Well we do have a full house don't we? I take it that these two would be Max and Fang since I've met everybody else?" Harry said in a friendly manner that almost made me relax.
"Yep the two love birds were having alone time," Charlie laughed. I tried to say something but Iggy butt in first.
"Nah nah they were just checking out the place their both paranoid"
"So. You're Fang? Well I can definitely see some resemblance so I guess it must be true especially with all that psycho babble you were saying before"
" Harry, that was not psycho babble that was Genetics" she corrected him
" Oh lighten up" he said to her and kissed her on the head "What am I to know, you're the one with the strange mind" he joked. Then she play hit him. And that's when I saw it; this wasn't a mutant kid who was being looked after by some man who found her. This was her family and that was her dad. I smiled when I looked at Fang when he had just realised the same thing too.
Later that evening after the whole flock wolfing down every last drop of pasta, Charlie, Angel, Nudge and me went into her room whilst the boys were having some "immense" Ninja battle on the PS3.
"Oh my god! I love that dress, oh and those shoes, and that top, that skirt. Oh my god this is heaven" Nudge shrieked when she looked in Charlie's wardrobe. Angel was looking at her stuffed Bears and comparing them to the very battered Celeste and sighed. Then Charlie's phone started to ring. Yes she had her very own phone. Why I don't have of these we shall never know other than the fact that they cost money.
"Hello…Oh hi Mike…Err I don't know if I still can… yes I know I'm sorry… fine, fine but only if I can bring some people you know how much I hate you sister… you know why… whatever… I'll see you tomorrow… yes I know seven… bye" she put the phone down with an apologetic look on her face "So Max what do you say to me, you, Iggy and Fang all going to a party tomorrow night? Harry will look after the others because they're kind of too young to go."
" A party?" I said. Yes I may have missed out on a few things you're supposed to do when you're a teenager but I was on the run so it was kind of hard to RSVP to all those invitation I got when I was trying to kick Eraser/Flyboy/ some evil genius's butt, but still it didn't mean I wanted to go.
"You can borrow some of my clothes and my heels and Fang and Iggy look like they could fit in some of Harry's clothes what with us all being so tall. So how about it?" Why on earth would I be so stupid as to go to a party full of teenagers where there would be alcohol, teenage boys, music, wearing a really nice out fit with a cute pair of shoes which would be useless when someone's evil henchmen would come out from behind the curtain trying to kill us. So that's why when I said yes I couldn't think why I had done? Was it because Fang and Iggy wanted to go or that Nudge wouldn't stop bugging me to go? No. It was mainly the shoes and the fact that it was only around the corner, which was either a two-minute run, or just goes up then straight back down if there were a problem. I was going crazy.
