4. Eraser, Avian, or Just a Plain Freak?

Edward growled at the mutant person staring at me and took a step in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked, poking my head over Edward's shoulder and being Max, not Bella. I hadn't been my REAL self in four years. It felt good.

He laughed. "I knew you wouldn't remember me. You were always to focused on your flock then everyone else at the School." He told me.

I tried to remember who was at the School besides the flock. Lots of Flyboys, Erasers, scientists, some really screwed up experiments...I had no clue. I didn't know who the heck he was.

"Who are you?" I asked again. A low growl erupted from Edward's chest. I put a hand on his arm, trying to calm him down.

"Micheal." He said. I grew wide eyed. I knew him! We were great friends before Jeb took the flock and I away from the school. He was like us, but instead of have sixteen foot bird wings, he had sixteen foot bat wings.

He was like no other. He excelled past the embryonic stage and grew non-stop for about seven years until he looked about the age of twenty, then he never grew again. But he was much smarter then any of us. He could think of one hundred ways to kill you with a piece of paper if he wanted. And I could only imagine that he was smarter then he was eight years ago.

"Micheal?"

"Oh, so you do remember me then? I'm honestly surprised." He said sarcastically.

"Of course. How could I forget you? You were one of my best friends." I said, trying to walk out in front of Edward. He restrained me, of course.

"Well then, I may just have a little remorse of killing you and...Who's he again?"

"Edward." I replied at almost a shriek.

"Ah, really? I always thought that you would end up with Fang. It's surprised to know that you betrayed him this way." Micheal said smiling. I glared at him and he laughed. "No matter though, ready to die?"

"Are you?" Edward growled lunging himself at Micheal.

I thought that Micheal would die almost immediately, but the fight seemed to rage on for years. I didn't know what to do, and I had never felt so helpless just watching them fight each other.

"BELLA!" Edward cried, throwing Micheal through a tree. "GET OUT OF HERE!"

"No!" I said, running over to Micheal, and kicking him in the groin. Ow, that must have hurt.

"What do you think you're-" Before he could finish his sentence Micheal had kicked him to the ground. I never thought that anyone could be a match for Edward in any life time, besides a different vampire.

Suddenly the Cullens jumped from out of no where and threw Micheal off of Edward.

Alice came to my side and grabbed my arm. "Come on!" She said, throwing me on her back.

"No!" I said again.

"What are you stupid? Let me get you out of here! Edward will kill me if anything happens to you!" She said, starting to run.

"I want to fight my own battles!" I screamed. Alice stopped for a second, as if she was shocked that I was capable of saying something like that.

"What has gotten into you?" She asked, running again.

"I've come to my senses!" Right when I said that I kicked off of Alice's back and lept into the air, spreading my wings out. It felt to good to fly again, letting the wind run through my feathers. I couldn't believe I'd restrained from flying for that long.

Alice stared up at me in shock and awe. I'd been getting those looks all day.

I flew back to the rest of the Cullens, keeping a close eye on Alice, just to make sure she wasn't ahead to warn the rest of the Cullens.

I was able to see them in a matter of minutes. Micheal was still conscious. That's all I needed.

"What should we do with him?" I heard Esme ask, looking concerned.

"Leave him to me!" I said, knocking Micheal out of Emmet and Jasper's grip.

Before I could throw a good punch Edward had me in his arms.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He scolded me.

"Where is my flock?" I asked, ignoring Edward. That was a first.

Micheal smiled. "You'll have to find them yourself." He said, disappearing. Great! Now he could disappear! That was just perfect.

Carlise spoke next, "Edward, take her to the house. We'll catch up with you in a moment."
