Chapter 4. In my A.N at the start of chappie 3, I said there was gonna be a very long time gap in there. I was thinking of making it a year, put decided to just make it a week. And then forgot to change it. So this chappie is going to have the long time change.

So here we go..

1 year, 8 months later.

"Happy birthday Max!" shouted the flock.

That's right, I'm 13 now. (A.N. As it is 1 year 8 months later, Max had her 12th birthday 1 year ago. Just to let you know.) The flock and I were all in the living room. I was just opening Angels and Nudges present. I had already opened Gazzy's and Iggy's. Nudge and Angel had got me a gorgeous red dress. It was like silk (obviously wasn't but it was still lovely) with thin straps, was quite tight all the way down, and it came down to my knees. It is definitely not my type of thing, 'because I never wear dresses, but I have to admit it was gorgeous.

I ripped open the wrapping paper and found an iPod inside. I grinned and ran over to Iggy and Gazzy and pulled them into a hug.

"Thank you so much guys!" I said.

"No problem Max. We knew you wanted something to occupy you so we decided to get you this." Iggy replied.

Fang handed over a small box shaped present. I looked at it for a moment, trying to guess what it was. I was stumped.

I opened the paper slowly and found a velvet box.

I opened it and found a beautiful necklace inside. It had a thin silver chain with a heart dangling off it. In the heart was the letter M in diamonds.

I stared at Fang in shock. It was beautiful!

"Fang…I-I don't know what to say! It-it's beautiful!" I stuttered.

Fang grinned and I pulled him into a bone crushing hug. He stiffened for a moment but then wrapped his arms around me. It felt nice.

I pulled back and looked at him.

"Will you put it on for me please?" I asked.

He nodded and I turned around, lifting my hair up. Fang put the necklace on me and I let my hair fall back down my back.

I guess you're wondering where all this money came from, huh? Well a few months ago, we found one of Jeb's old credit cards. There was a piece of paper attached to it with the letters MFINGA on it. The first letters of the flocks names. We tried out the card and punched in MFINGA and cash came spewing out. Jackpot.

All day I lazed around the house while the rest of the flock made me my meals, did my chores and obeyed my every command. This was the life.

I had decided that I wanted to go out to a posh meal on the night so I could wear my dress.

At 6 o clock, we had all retreated to our rooms after each having a shower. I slipped on my dress and looked in the mirror. My jaw literally dropped.

I'm definitely not big headed, but I was amazed at how much a dress could do to your image. I looked slim, with actual -eww- boobs (Joy! Note the sarcasm) and I looked about 17 years old. I noticed Nudge in the background with her jaw dropped also.

"Oh my gosh Max! You look so nice! I'm so doing your hair! I could curl it, or should I straighten it? I think it would look better straightened but-"

"Nudge. Calm down. Do whatever, I don't care." I said cutting her off.

"Great! Just let me get the straightners." She said, running out of the room.

At the restaurant.

We were sitting in a posh kind of restaurant waiting for our food. Nudge had done my hair and make up to my horror. I did not agree to make up.

Fang was sitting next to me wearing one of those casual suit jacket things, a black shirt and baggy black jeans.

Nudge was wearing a dress similar to mine but a lilac colour. Angel was in a little pink sparkly dress.

Iggy and Gazzy were wearing outfits similar to Fang apart from theirs actually had colour.

The waiter came over carrying plates full of delicious food. 3 more came after carrying more food. Let's just say we have very big appetites.

Something outside caught my eye. A large muscular man was sitting on the wall outside looking at me. He looked like a male model. When Erasers aren't morphed, they look a bit like that.

I started to panic, searching the room. I found that there were at least five more.

"Fang, something's wrong." I muttered.

I felt him tense next to me. He did a 360 and gave the slightest nod.

"Guys, we're leaving. Use the back door. On the count of three, Fang grab Angel, Gazzy get Iggy and Nudge stay with me." I said under my breath but loud enough for the flock to hear.

They acted as though they didn't hear.

"One." I said and we all jumped up and pelted through the kitchen.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the male models get up and run after us.

We burst out the door and found we were in a deserted ally. We all snapped open our wings and took off into the night sky.

Two weeks later

After the Eraser scare, we knew we wouldn't be safe for much longer. Fang and I packed rucksacks for each of us.

"Max, I wanna go for a fly." Said Angel.

"I don't know Ange; it might be a bit of a risk." I replied.

"Come on Max! We haven't been out for days." Whined Nudge.

"Okay but just for an hour."

So here we were, soaring in the open sky, when I hear a bullet shot through the sky.

I looked down at the ground alarmed and saw at least 15 Erasers. But there was something different about them since the last time I had seen them.

They had wings…
