Chapter 3
You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren.

Fang shook her hand, without any hesitation. Iggy and Gazzy were introducing themselves to Max's friends and were much chattier than Fang himself. He sometimes wished he had that kind of social specialty, and he tried much harder for his maybe-queen.
"I'm Prin…um, Fang. Yes. Just Fang," he said. Max raised her eyebrows in question but said nothing, and Fang released his grip uneasily, cursing at himself.
"The taller one is my brother, Iggy," Fang continued, gesturing grandly over to his brothers. "The shorter one is Gazzy."
"You guys have really cool names," Max laughed, "My full name is Maximum Ride. I'm not sure why my parents decided on that, but whatever. Can't change it now."
Fang nodded, completely understanding. His name wasn't the most normal either.
"Anyway, those girls are my sisters. Angel is the short blond, she's 12. The other is Nudge, she's two years younger than me, a freshman."
They were the same ages as Iggy and Gazzy, Fang noticed. What a coincidence. His father never believed in coincidences, he believed that everybody's destiny was tied together in one big web of life. Maybe that was the case now?
Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, and Angel sauntered over, laughing and smiling.
"Max! Can Iggy, Gazzy, and Fang come over to our place today?" Angel asked, her smile lighting up her entire face.
Max swung Angel into the air and kissed her on the cheek before putting her back down on the ground. "I don't know, sweetie."
She turned around to Fang and his brothers and asked, "Is it okay with your parents if you come over?"
Gazzy's eyes dropped to his shoes and he mumbled sadly, "Yeah. It's fine." Fang felt a sudden pang of loss for his father. He selfishly forgot his father's sacrifice for his kingdom. A wave of guilt engulfed Fang. Iggy ran a hand through this hair and muttered, "We do not need permission anymore."
Max studied Fang and his brothers' expressions carefully but said nothing. "All right, then. You guys can come over. But I have this sort of intuition that you guys have nowhere to go afterwards."
Fang realized this with an inward groan. "We don't, but we'll figure something out," he replied.
"FANG!" Gazzy yelled, "Look!"
He pulled out several stacks of rectangular paper-like objects. They all had a face of a person and had 100 written on the corners.
Max's eyes widened. "You guys…where did you get that much money?"
"So this was currency? That would prove to be very useful…Father must've sent it to us." Fang thought.
"I don't know. We just…got it," Iggy replied.
Nudge sucked in her breath quickly and she traded nervous glances with her sisters.
"You guys are thieves?"
