Hey, guys! I've been gone for the last couple of days so I'm a little rusty. The real romance happens next chapter, so if I get a lot of reviews, I'll be more motivated to write the next chapter *wink*. Enjoy!

Bambina POV

I heard the three avian-hybrids who were called Nudge, Max, and Fang re-enter. I heard the springs of the old couch whine as Nudge, Max, and Fang sat down. The youngest avian-hybrid, Angel, was able to read my mind and figured out what my confidential secret was before I even spoke. She sent me a message.

"I will help you if you would like," Angel thought to me. I was taken aback by her willingness to help me keep my secret.

"What are the conditions?" I thought back, trying to find out what she wanted.

"No conditions. I will inform you of your surroundings when needed. Okay?" Angel thought back.

I silently nodded to Angel and I couldn't even put my thankfulness into thoughts. I silently asked Angel to keep our deal a secret and she agreed. This took a huge weight off of my shoulders; I didn't have to worry about my surroundings for the first time in my life.

I snapped out of my thoughts when a voice began to introduce herself. "I'm Max. Uh, so I'm the leader of the flock. That's Fang. That's Dylan. That's Nudge. And that's Angel." Angel told me whom Max was pointing to. Apparently, Max was sitting in the middle of the couch; Fang was sitting in the left end of the couch; Dylan was sitting in a large chair in the corner; Nudge was sitting next to Max; and Angel was sitting on the floor near the television. She also told me to look a little to the right and a little forwards so I could look towards Max.

Then it hit me. Iggy's name wasn't mentioned. Where was Iggy? Angel told me Iggy was upstairs with another avian-hybrid named the Gasman. Funny name.

"Hello, my name is Bambina. It is very nice to meet you all. Thank you for temporarily accepting me into your flock. I am looking forward to familiarizing you all. May I please go upstairs to meet the other members of the flock?" I asked quietly. The members of the flock had to lean in to hear me.

"Uh, sure," answered Max.

I walked over to the stairs and stopped suddenly. Angel, how many stairs are there?

Angel replied thirteen.

Half way up the stairs, I heard Max ask, "How did she know that Iggy and Gazzy were upstairs?" And all I could do was keep climbing and hope that Angel wouldn't expose me. I prayed that she would just shrug and they would just forget about it.

I reached the top of the stairs and heard noises from a nearby room to my left. I knocked on the door and heard the hinges creak as the door opened. "Whoa. Iggy, hottie on deck." I heard the person smooth his hair back. "Come in."

This must be the Gasman. What did they call him for short? Gazzy? Gassy? I think its Gazzy. What a peculiar name.

I tried to use my echolocation, but that was only slightly effective. There was a bed, a nightstand, a desk, and a bunch of little pieces on the floor. Iggy was sitting next to the little pieces, and Gazzy stood next to me. I tried to imagine what Iggy looked like. I imagined him having light brown hair and brown eyes, like me. I sat down on the bed. "My name is Bambina. I hope to be a new member of the flock, but that is up to Max. It is nice to meet you." I tried looking at Gazzy, but I had no idea if I was or not. "May I sit down and observe your bomb-making?"

"Um, sure. I'm Iggy. And you just met Gazzy. Yeah, we're trying to make a bomb," answered Iggy. His voice was warm and comforting, just as I imagined. If Jeb's plan works out, I'll be with Iggy and the happiest girl alive.

I pretended to watch intently, because I couldn't really watch. I heard the two boys talk about their design and every so often they'd ask me for input on their design. Gazzy seemed to enjoy having me there, but Iggy was a bit suspicious. I had wanted him accept me right away, but that was somewhat impossible. I wondered if he knew about how I was his perfect match. Now that I think about it, he probably did.

After a couple hours of watching, it was almost 10 o' clock. Max decided I would share a room with Angel. This was good, because Angel would be able to inform me of my environment. She also told me that Iggy was actually glad I was here. My heart swelled with joy at the mere thought of Iggy being mine. I fell asleep while daydreaming about Iggy and my honeymoon.

Have you guessed Bambina's secret yet? If you haven't, just read this again because I made it kind of obvious. Okay, so Bambina already knows a lot about Iggy. More on that later. Did you enjoy the little look into Bambina's mind?
