Chapter 5
6 Months Later
Max's POV
I walked around the beach house, picking up toys that Poppy left out. Ever since we moved here life has been great; Poppy's happy, I'm happy because she's happy, and no flock. Apparently we gave them the slip. I smiled to myself; I outsmarted them.
I heard wings flapping on the back porch and I turned to see Poppy coming in; her wings had developed to where she can fly, and I have to say they're very pretty. They're about 6 feet long and jet black with blue specks throughout them.
"Hey Mommy; I'm back!" I smiled down at her.
"I told you not to fly up; people could see you."
"Don't worry, no one sees me." I shrugged it off and walked into the kitchen, about to make lunch. Taking out some hamburger I threw in the pot and got some taco mix out.
"I'm making tacos, who want some?" I turned around and Poppy was right behind me, and I mean right behind me; I screamed and the salsa flew out of my hand.
"How'd you do that?!"
"I just walked over here; see, watch." I watched as she went from being right beside me to being at the other end of the room.
"See?" I stood there, not knowing what to say; apparently she had super speed.
"That's great Poppy!" She ran back over to me.
"But is that how fast you move all the time?" She shook her head.
"Only if I want to." I sighed in relief.
"Ok, good." I turned back to the tacos which were almost done; I took out some plates and served us up some and sat on the sofa.
"So, can we go to the boardwalk tonight?" I sighed.
"I dunno Poppy." Suddenly she was up in front of me again, looking into my eyes.
"But I want to go." I suddenly felt the urge to go real badly.
"Ok; we'll go after dinner!"
"Yay!" She moved away but I held her face there.
"What's wrong with your eyes Poppy?" Her usual black eyes had little blue specks all over it; like, electric blue.
"What?" She walked over to the mirror in the hallway and studied her reflection.
"I don't know, but I like it!" I laughed as she smiled at her reflection.
"Well that's good!" She ran back onto my lap and finished her taco, but kept glancing back at the mirror.
"Don't worry; your eye didn't change in the past few seconds." I cracked a smile as she got up and ran to check in the mirror again.

Poppy's POV
As it got dark we walked down to the beach and played in the sand until we could see the lights from the boardwalk and then set off. I couldn't wait to go down there; they had rides, games, stores, and the most amazing donut shop ever! (Virtual cookies if you can guess which one; it's on the NC coast and starts with a B) I got really excited as we came up to the games and mommy got me a cotton candy. As I ate it we walked through the gift shops, looking at everything in them. As I finished off the cotton candy I thought about which ride I wanted to go on when I saw them; the flock.
"Mommy, I have to go to the bathroom real quick, ok?"
"Ok sweetie." I ran off in their direction; he noticed me walking up.
"What are you doing here?!" He was about to say something but I cut him off.
"My visions aren't wrong; I said 10 years, it's been 6 months. You shouldn't be here."
"Poppy, just let me explain." I walked up to him and looked him in the eyes.
"You're going to leave and forget we're here." He nodded and started walking in the opposite direction, still unseeing. I ran back to mommy, making sure she hadn't seen that.
"Hey Poppy, so what do you want to ride?" I smiled.
"Everything." I laughed and we started walking towards the rides.
It made me sad to tell him to leave, because I know now that he's my father, but I know it has to be 10 years; I don't know how, I just do. I silent tear dripped down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away, trying to forget the fact that I just kissed a chance of my father finding me soon goodbye.
5 reveiws and I'll post the next chapter! Plus if you know the donut shop send it to me in a review!
