Here's chapter two!


Amber's POV

Well Monique and I were getting to know each other pretty well and I was going to meet her family today after school and I couldn't wait.

She was really my only friend so far at this school, and I was happy that she actually wanted to talk to me.

We had every class together which was good and we could study together and I could get her caught up on what we are learning.

Finally the last bell rang and we went to our lockers to get our stuff. She said we had to go to the elementary to meet them, and I was perfectly fine with that.

"Hey Monique, what if they don't like me?" I said nervously. She shut her locker and turned around and said, "are you serious!? Of course they will like you! Take my word for it." And I did, I hope she was right.

After about 15 minutes of walking we reached the elementary school and saw the most adorable kids running towards us. I was scared then Monique turned to me and said, "This is Amy and this is Garrett, as you can probably tell, we are all adopted except for these two. Oh here comes Max, Nick and Jeff."

I turned and noticed that they were all likely the same age and from the high school obviously.

I quickly notice that the girl was glaring at me, obviously I can't be trusted to her, and well I will have to prove her wrong.

We all were walking to their house and Amy was telling who I found out to be Max, all about her first day at school. It only took about five minutes to get their house but I really regretted saying yes to Monique, every time I would glance at Max, she would be staring at me. It really started to really creep me out, I just hoped that she would let me be Monique's friend.

When we walked into the house the tall, pale boy (sorry I don't know which is which yet) said she was going to go change.

Monique quickly said, "Hurry Jeff, I'm starving and I bet everyone else is too. What are you going to make us, I want macaroni!!! I just had this sudden craving, or maybe some fruit or I don't know just-"

She was cut off by Jeff, "ok ok whatever"

"Why can't you make it or someone else?" I said very confused.

She quickly responded with, "no one is allowed to cook besides Jeff because we all can't cook worth crap. It's pretty sad because if we want something eatable then we have to wait for Jeff to cook us something."

Amy and Garrett were watching TV so we decided to join them when the older kids walked in.

Max POV

Fang and I walked into the living room with the other kids as soon as Iggy came down putting on his shirt.

When we walked in Nudge's new friend, Amber turned around, instantly her jaw dropped and started staring. I turned to see who she was staring at, of course it had to be Fang, and well I defiantly wasn't going to deal with that.

Nudge asked Iggy what he was going to make us and he turned to look at Nudge and Amber and quickly Amber blushed and turned her head.

OH MY GOD!!!! I thought she didn't like Fang (whew!!) SHE LIKES IGGY!! Whoa there's a shocker!

"Whatever you guys want I had a good day today, nobody judged me about being blind" said Iggy

Amber's POV

We ate our delicious snack that Jeff gave us and talked a lot, I just knew I could trust them, but I didn't want to ruin it so I said nothing..

I quietly said thank you to Jeff and he came over and rubbed my back…

CRAP!! I thought. Oh no he would know I would be on the run again and just when I was starting to like him!

"Whoa! Are those wings?!" Jeff nearly screamed.

I knew it, "yeah it is, I think this means I have to leave now. Thanks but please don't say anything to anyone, Monique it was so nice to meet you but now that it's out I have to go." And I started for the door when I was quickly pulled back by Jeff.

"Whoa not so fast, it's actually kind of funny, we have wings too, where are you from exactly? Tell us about you, and we'll do the same."

I didn't think I could trust them, but as soon I began to turn again Jeff let out his gorgeous pair of wings.

I couldn't think, were they the flock that saved me so many years ago?

I started to say how I was from the School in California and I got many looks, I said a group of kids let me go and I never saw them and all the other boring stuff that happened to me.

They were all shocked when I was finished and I was quickly informed that of their story.

The things that were similar were, they were raised in the School in California and when they were escaping they saved a girl and never saw her again.

I was also very shocked and we all started thinking back to see if we knew each other or not.

With five minutes of silence and then 15 minutes of constant talking we knew that we should likely stay together for a little longer together to know each other a little better.

I was so happy I had finally found someone like me! And also we all knew each other before this incident.

"So you should probably know more about us before we start asking you a whole bunch of questions. Well what we said before about our names, isn't true except mine, I'm really Max. This is fang, and next to him is really Iggy, then Nudge, then Gazzy or the Gasman, which you will soon find out why he is named that, and lastly Angel." Max explained, pointing to each in turn.

Well that made things a little different.

"I'm so sorry amber but we had to we are still partially on the run." Said Mon-Nudge, this is going to be harder now that everyone except max has a new name.

"Well my name is really Amber. Since there is more of you I have some questions about being whatever we are." I said which was followed by a bunch of nods.

"Well I have these kinds of powers things, I was wondering if I'm crazy and there is something messed up with me or am I normal for our kind."

"Technically, we are human-avian American hybrids, and your powers are normal we all have them sort of. I can read and control minds, talk to fish, and sometimes transform into different animals it really depends on what they are. Max has super-speed, Fang can turn himself invisible, and Iggy can see only when he has a white background and feel color. Gazzy has his special gift and he can mimic really well, and Nudge can control metal and also is really good with computers. What do you have?" Angel said.

Wow. I didn't think that was all possible, "Umm, well I can give powers, silence them, like block it sort of, I can locate anyone in the universe, and I can give people things they don't have or take it away." I said.

"Seriously!? That's so cool." Said Iggy and I knew he was thinking that I could give him his sight back and I was going to but I wanted to talk to him alone first..
