A/N: Yep, it's Epic, back with another chappie! Hope you like it! Please let me know if you think that Drew is a bit too little girly, or wussy.

Drew's POV

I had been running for ages, the wind whipping my burnt caramel hair across my face. Even though I was running so fast, my vision became so sharp that I could avoid the trees that were streaking towards me. Eventually, I reached the house the other mutants lived in. I wondered if Danté had gotten there yet and then yelled the head mutant's name. "MAX?"

The hairs on the back of my neck tingled and I whirled, hitting a blonde haired boy on the jaw. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you OK?" I said.

He looked up at me, or rather my ears. "Yeah, I'm OK." He said, rubbing his jaw. I noticed that he was really... hot. He had blue eyes so intense, that I swear someone could drown in them.

"Is Max home?" I asked. "I came to see her." He nodded, "It seems like everyone is coming to see Max today." With that he smiled, snapped out his wings and flew up to the roof of the house. So, he just left me here? I turned to walk away, but just then I heard something falling towards the ground behind me. It was a rope ladder. When I reached the top, the guy was standing there waiting for me. He gestured towards the door and we walked in. Danté was there, chatting with the rest of the flock, making them laugh. I noted that one girl, Max I presume, was slouched on the sofa looking super-annoyed.

"Danté, you're here!" I said, relieved. He stood up and hugged me. Then he ruffled my hair. "Ow! Watch the ears!" I winced.

He smiled. "Ah, yeah. Sorry 'bout that, sis."

The blonde guy's eyes widened. "You're siblings?"

I nodded. "Yep."

Danté wrapped an arm around my shoulders. And points to each bird kid in turn as he introduces them, "This is Max, Dylan, Gazzy, short for The Gasman, Nudge, Iggy and Nudge. This is Drew, guys!"

"Hiya, nice to meet you." I said sticking out my hand.

~Time Skip~

As I lay on the sofa trying to get to sleep, I listened to the flock chatting in their separate rooms. Max was talking to Dylan.

"I think the best way we can defeat them is if we located Fang and his band of merry mutants, and joined them." Max said.

"Hm. Yeah, maybe." Dylan answered, sounding not too sure.

"Ok then, I think we can head out tomorrow."

I carefully tucked this info away in my brain, to tell that creep Dr. Gunther-Haagan later. Dylan came out of Max's room, and I quickly pretended to be asleep, evening my breathing, and relaxing my muscles. I heard him step over me, and look at me for a moment, before walking away to his room.

I reopened my eyes, Danté was smirking at me from his sofa/bed. "If he's got the hots for you, I swear I will tear him limb from limb." He said, balling his hands into fists.

I blushed. "No he hasn't. He was checking if I was asleep. I don't think he trusts me, 'cause I'm merged with a cat."

"Hmm." He said, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

I turned over and faced the other way, and fell asleep.

I ran, tears blinding my vision, I would never forget what I had just seen. Danté dead, a gaping hole where his heart should be. Eventually, I came to a stop and collapsed in tears. Then someone pulled me up by my hair, and turned my head around to face who-ever-it-might-be, it was Max

"Drew, you know I had to do it. You are a traitor. And now I have to do the same to you." She pressed the gun to my temple.

I woke, cold sweat beading on my forehead. It was still dark. Suddenly, I had the urge to run. I changed out of the PJs Max had lent me, and into my clothes.

When, I started to turn the door handle, Max spoke up from behind me. "What do you think you are doing?" She asked.

"Just going for a run." I said, turning around. I couldn't forget my dream of her killing Danté in my dream, even though I knew that it wasn't real.

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh yeah? Anyway, if you were actually going for a walk, then you would have to have someone go with you. You didn't honestly think that we would trust you so quickly, did you?"

I sighed. "No, I just had a nightmare, and I wanted to go for a run to clear my head. But seeing as you can't trust me, I'll go back to bed, and lie awake for the rest of the night."

"That's fine with me." She said. So, I made my way back to the room where Danté and I slept, but I wanted to tell him about my nightmare, because he always made me feel better.

I tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He groaned and opened a sleepy eye, when he saw it was me, his expression softened, "Hey sprout, did you have a nightmare?" He asked. I nodded and sat next to him. He pushed himself up and put his arms about me as I told him about my nightmare. "I'm not dead, sweetie, but I do think that we are doing the wrong thing. We should probably tell the others about Dr. G-H tomorrow. Anyway, I need my beauty sleep. Night, hon!" He kissed the top of my head and I went back to my makeshift bed. This time I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

~The Next Morning~

Max dragged me out of bed, by my arm. "It's time you went."

"What? Why?" Then I looked over at Danté. Oh no. He told them and now they were going to kick us out.

"Oh, I think you know why." She snarled.

"But we weren't! We were just playing along to his game to escape from them! You don't know what we're risking by telling you this!" I squealed. My dream was going to come true.

"Yeah, right. You were going to go for a run last night, remember?" She looked at me with her eyebrows raised.

"You could get frown marks like that." I warned her. Danté chuckled. Max scowled. "Uh. And like that."

"WHAT DO I CARE?" Max shouted.

I shrugged. "I was just warning you." I said. "Well, off we go to die then. Come on, Danté. Goodbye, I guess..." I walked out onto the roof, and started down the rope ladder, but as I stepped down, I missed the footing, and fell. I flailed madly, trying to grab hold of something, but nothing was in reach. I turned around in mid-air to face the ground that was rushing up towards me. Amazingly, I landed neatly on my arms and feet, like cats do. After all, I was merged with one. I looked up, back towards the roof. Danté looked shell-shocked, Nudge had her hands over her mouth. Max's mouth was in an 'o' shape. Angel was crying. Well, Iggy couldn't see and was asking Gazzy what was happening. Gazzy was really pale. I was trembling, from almost dying. I had fallen roughly 411ft, first off the roof, then off the side of the cliff. Danté unfurled out his ginormous wings and swooped down to see if I was okay.

He hugged me tight. "Are you alright?"

"Uh-huh." I answered dully. So, it wasn't all bad having cat genes.

"Well, if you're OK, we should get going." He said. I nodded, then looked back up. Angel looked like she was pleading with Max. Her face brightened and she turned to us, motioning for us to come back up. Danté picked me up bridal style and took off. Flying was amazing. The wind whipping my hair about my head. Then we landed on the roof and Danté put me down.

"What is it now? Decided that actually you're going to have to kill us yourself?" He asked, folding his arms across his chest. I flinched, that was exactly what happened in my nightmare.

"We have decided to let you guys stay," Max held up a finger, before I could thank her. "But there is something you should know. Dr. G-H, no matter what he told you, is not helping anyone."

"Thank you!" I squeaked and gave Max a hug. She stiffened, and then returned the hug awkwardly. Then I hugged the rest of the flock, thanking all of them. I had never really had friends, not since my parents disappeared. All the people at boot camp were nasty, as you can imagine, so I was really glad to have finally made some friends. Then I grew serious again. "We better start preparing for an attack of Erasers. A big one."

Max looked confused. "Didn't they all die?"
