okay,

been awhile.

i've been having... issues...

something happened... so i couldn't update...

it was.... personal...

and i couldn't focus on writing the chapter like i usually do.

but anyway, enough rambling, on with the chappie!

i don't know how to let this go, and i don't really want to know, what it's like without you, in this life....

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Nalani stared at Mother in shock, I just eyed the gun cautiously.

"It was not nice knowing you." My mommy said, smirking.

"Ditto." I said, firmly. Even in the face of death, I can steady my voice. Super.

"I just have one question." My sister stated.

Kellie snapped her head to look at my sister and smirked wider. "Well, I'll probably answer it, seeing as your going to die in the next few minutes."

Keeping my mouth shut, I stared at Kellie, while she waited for my sister to ask her question.

"Wh-, You're our mom, why are you doing this?" Nalani asked.

Get this, she laughed. Like a maniac. You know, the, MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that one.

When she was done laughing she gave us a weird look. "I'm not your mother. Stupid kids. I'm a clone of your mother."

I stared at her.

Nalani stared at her.

I stared at her some more.

Nalani stared at her some more.

I stared at her even longer.

Nalani stared at her even longer.

I stared-- Ugh. You get it.

A, clone? That makes sense, I guess. No wonder she hates us, she's a clone, we're not.

"A what?" My sister stupidly asked.

"A clone." Kellie said. She then rolled her eyes and adjusted the gun so it was pointing at me. I breathed in sharply, as I glared at the gun.

I heard feet running up the steps but I didn't look back, I knew it was my family. I don't know how I knew, but I just knew it was them.

Kellie quickly looked at the kids running and aimed the gun at them. The running stopped just as quickly. Even though I couldn't see them, I knew they were freaking out, on the inside and out.

I saw my chance, and lunged at her.

She didn't see me coming, (to my advantage) and I tackled her to the ground.

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I sat on top of her stomach and pinned her legs to the ground with my feet, then looked at her, just to see a gun, barely touching my nose.

"It's over." Kellie said, from behind the gun.

No...

"NO!!!!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!!!" My family screamed simultaneously.

The person under me glanced at them like a stupid person and I reached my hand up and smacked the gun out of her hand so it went sliding against the floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kellie screamed out.

Ow....

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed in her face.

She glared at me. I spit in her eye. :)

"Shardae! You did it!" Chaz exclaimed, excitedly.

"Spit in her face?" I asked, confused.

"Well, yes. But no! You beat your mom!" he said.

"That's a clone." Nalani stated bluntly.

I heard coughing under me. I turned to the clone of my mom.

"You will never escape, you will never live to see another day. They will kill you, and you won't be as lucky as the flock was. You-" The clone began. She probably would've said some more things had I not smacked her across the face. :)

She growled. I ignored her and looked at the window. It was windy out and the curtain was blowing, meaning the window was open. I grinned a creepy grin and looked at my family. They were watching me, grin at a window yet again.

Finally, Nalani caught on and grinned too.

I glanced at the rest of my family. Lauren was confused, Chaz was looking at the window, then at me, next at the clone, and repeating the cycle confused. Lydia was grinning, meaning she figured it out. Dantie was looking at the dresser, looking for something fun.

"Nalani, Lauren, Chaz, get your butts over here." I ordered.

"Do we have to?" Lauren asked.

"Yes. You do. Do you want to have some fun?" I asked.

"Well, yeah, but what are we going to- Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

I nodded and she came over and grabbed one of the clones arms, Nalani following her lead. I got up off of her and grabbed a leg, Chaz following my lead.

"What are you doing?"

She was ignored. Chaz and I led the other eldest kids towards the window.

"Don't you dare do what you are thinking."

I rolled my eyes and we stuck her feet out the window. We walked up to the arms and started pushing her out the window.

"Stop it!"

"Fall and you win!" Chaz yelled. "Pie..." He mumbled. "You win pie..."

"NO!"

Then the four of us shoved her out the window and Chaz ran down the hall, then came back and threw a pie out the window after her. Hm... A little violent, but, I could care less.

He held up two of his hands, and I returned the gesture. (It was a High-Five for you slow people.)

"That was incredibly easy." Nalani stated.

I nodded my head in agreement.

"Let's get out of here." Lauren pleaded, shuffling on her feet.

"Anybody got to use the bathroom?" I asked.

"Me!" Ty Ty said and ran down the hall to the bathroom, I heard a door slam shut. I smiled to myself.

"Anyone else?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"You're all going anyway." I demanded, walking down the hall and leaning against the wall at the top of the steps.

-LATER-

"Oh my gosh! You guys are okay!" Angel and Nudge exclaimed.

"Of course we are." Chaz said, confused. He tilted his head.

"Well, some lady fell out the window! Followed by a pie!" Gazzy said.

Chaz glanced at me and we shared a grin.

"What am I missing?" Nudge asked.

"Nothing." Chaz, Nalani, Lauren and I said innocently, a little too innocently.

Nudge looked at us skeptically. Then shrugged.

-LATER (AGAIN)-

So, we found a cave. We're staying in it for the night. It has enough room for 12 bird-kids.

12. That's a lot of kids.

A lot of bird-kids.

12 bird-kids.

2 families of 6 bird-kids.

7-,

"Hey." Max called, breaking me out of my thoughts and causing me to look up. I gave her the universal, 'continue' look.

"Me and Fang are going for a spin."

I grinned knowingly. "Okay. Just, make sure you don't do the whole running away thing anymore."

Max rolled her eyes and smiled... at the same time. "I don't think we're going to do that."

You don't think you're going to kiss?! Come on now! Max! Anytime you guys are alone you kiss! Every flippin time!!!!

I giggled, "Whatever you say, Max, whatever you say."

Max gave me a funny look, I just shook my head.

"I can trust you right?" Max asked, "I don't have to hurt you, do I?"

"Well, yes to the trust, no to the hurt. I won't kill anyone, I won't hurt them. I won't tell anybody our location, and all that chiz." I said honestly. I wouldn't ever do that. It actually hurt a little that she asked me that... ='(

No, not really. :)

I've been in Max' head, I know how hard it is for her to trust people.

"You better not be lying to me." Max threatened.

Even though it's in my blood to lie, I wasn't lying.

"Aye-Yaye Captain." I said, saluting. "Now go have fun spinning with Fang." I added. "I'll hold down the fort."

Max rolled her eyes and shook her head.... at the same time.

But she walked away to Fang anyway and they took off.

"They grow up so fast." Iggy said from beside me, pretending to wipe away a tear.

I looked up at him, and saw he was insanely tall. I mean, I knew he was tall, but really? I didn't realize he was that tall. I'm like 2 inches shorter than Max, so he was probably 8 inches taller than me. That's pretty tall. I don't like it when people are taller than me. I'm like Max in that way.

That's just an observation, of course.

"Yeah. It seems like just yesterday they were in diapers." I added. Although, I have no idea what that was like, seeing as I wasn't even born yet...

"Those crazy kids." Iggy replied, shaking his head.

"I just hope they don't scar one of the younger kids." I said, grinning.

"I just hope they use protection." Iggy stated, seriously.

Now, if Max were here, she would have hurt him. Badly.

But she wasn't here, so...

We burst out laughing.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
