"I alright guys, stay on alert", I told the flock quietly as we entered Carlisle's house. All of us were already mapping escape routes in our heads anyway. I walked into the open living room and plopped down on a couch with Fang, Iggy, and Angel. Nudge and Gasman sat on the floor at our feet. The pale family had all taken chairs from the dining room table and were sitting facing us in a semi-circle. I noticed the bronze haired boy and the plain girl had also joined us.
"So", I said raising my eyebrows "start talkin'". There was no way we were going first. Surprisingly they didn't argue.
"Well", Carlisle began it's important that you listen to what we have to say without judgments. Your first reaction of us might not be good but please, know that your first reaction is most likely not correct".
"Uh-huh", I said slowly. I looked over at Angel and saw that her eyes were widened. She didn't look frightened just … curious, confused.
"Well I might as well tell you the most shocking news first", Carlisle began again "We, my family and I, the Cullens, are… Vampires". Whaaaat?! Iggy fell of the couch, Nudge started speed talking, her eyes getting wider and wider. Even Fang looked surprised.
"Uhm- ok then", I said calmly, I mean after all we have wings. We can't really judge people on a weirdness scale. But vampires… jeez. Carlisle then launched into his tale. Telling us about his own history, about how each family member came to the family including the human girl Bella. It turns out they don't drink human blood, so we were okay with that. They were vegetarians in a way. Carlisle told us about them for two hours. About their marble hard skin, their venom, their speed and strength everything! It turns out they all even have their own special talents or powers.
For some reason knowing all this I suddenly didn't have a problem telling them everything about us. I mean maybe I'm crazy but their was just something comforting about meeting a group of people that were even more freakish than us. And I'm pretty sure they won't tell people. They shouldn't at least knowing we know about them now.
"So", I said when Carlisle finished. " I guess you wanna know all about us now huh?". He nodded so I told them. Everything. Once I started I just couldn't stop. I told them about us, about the School, the Institute, the Flyboys and Erasers everything. I told them about how we were locked up, cruelly experimented on. I was even horrified to find that my eyes were filling up with tears. Great first impression Max. When I was finally finished I took a deep breath and looked at Fang, to see if he was at all pissed that I had just given our whole life story to strangers. He seemed to understand though because he gave me a half smile and took my hand.
" So", Carlisle said clearing his throat " You're wings, we saw you from distance flying at the… battle. Would it be intrusive if I looked at yours up close?" He sounded so sincere that I just shrugged and peeled off my sweatshirt. I shook my shoulders slightly and heard everyone gasp as I unfurled my wings. For the first time since I told the Cullens everything I looked at Bella. She didn't look very well. Her face was even paler and she was clutching Edward like he was supporting all of her weight. Maybe he was.
"Wings", she said " Vampires, werewolves, kids with wings". She started swaying slightly her eyes still fixed on my wings.
"Bella", Edward soothed in her ear " it's okay. You heard Max; they've been genetically engineered. She was nodding but then her eyes started fluttering and she passed out. It was kinda funny actually but I smothered my laugh under Edward's glare.
BPOV – A few minutes earlier.
Oh. My. God. I was shaking and holding on to Edward like my life depended on it. I was being stupid really. I mean my boyfriend's a vampire and best friend is a werewolf. I guess I could only take so much super naturalness before I freaked. I began to mumble unsure of what I was actually saying and heard Edwards soothing voice in my ear. I just nodded and pretended to hear him.
Then I made the mistake of looking at Max's wings again. And I passed out.
