Max POV

After the flock and I argued with Rose, us wanting to leave, and her nearly begging us to stay, Rose had us go upstairs to the kitchen with the 3 wolves. She obviously won the argument, using the fact that Jake and his pack were "Protectors" of their home town. Apparently, the werewolves were werewolves, not created by the school. They could live forever, until they either gave up being a wolf in later years, or were killed. The wolves were created a few hundred generations back, by some leaders of a tribe with an attack by vampires. (Full history in Eclipse)

Rose led us upstairs, where we saw the wolves and Nessy were sitting around the table, staring in wonder at the basement. Who would dare to get in a fight with a vampire, and have no blows be struck? All I can say is my temper is better than theirs are. Wow, that's saying something.

She pushed us through the doorway with her vampy strength, and as much as I wanted to resist, I held back. There was absolutely no reason for the werewolves to know all about my flock.

Jake and his wolves, Seth and Leah, had heard our entire fight and knew I knew what they were. What they didn't know was what I was or how I got so many talents, some known like the hearing and scent, some not so known, like my wings. That will be left a secret, unless he asks questions and the flock approves. After all, a girl has got to have some secrets!

Since Jake and his wolves were natural shape-shifters, their first instinct was to follow their nose, the most powerful of a wolf's senses. They all breathed deeply, and then frowned in a funny way when the avian caught in their noses. The wolf-scent in the air became stronger with curiosity, as they gazed at Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and me with level stares.

There was silence for a moment, and then Nudge broke it saying, "Max I'm bored. Can we go out yet? It's hot in here. And you promised to take –"

"Nudge!" we all replied at once.

"What? All I said was I wanted to go out and leave already! Please, Max? Angel told me you said we could!"

"Fine. Rose? We'll see you later, okay?" I told her.

She nodded and shooed us to the doorway of the kitchen. "I won't tell them what you are, because I have no right to, but someone else might. So hurry back." We left the kitchen, when Angel turned around and said to the youngest one, Seth, "I know we're weird, but you have no right to think those things about people you don't know anything about. And you," she said to Jake, "you mind your own business. There is no way you will find out what we are. There is no history because we are all one-of-a-kind. And Leah? We aren't vampires or were-anything. Just mostly anything. So stop making a fool of yourself thinking things like that."

Angel turned and walked past us to the front as my flock and I turned to grin at the shocked werewolves. Now, they would be more confused than ever, but they wouldn't know what we were.

"Ouch," I said to them. "You all just got told by an 8-year-old. Life is harsh for you, so have fun living in cluelessness!"

The rest of my flock turned and went out the front door, to find Angel fluttering a few yards above the ground. We jumped in the air and followed her up. Gazzy laughed and flew below his little sister.

"Angel, you rock! That was so funny; you should have seen their faces when you left!"

I laughed along with the flock. It really was funny.

"Okay, let's go everybody!" I exclaimed when I saw the 3 pack members run out the door a mile below us, thanks to my raptor vision. Angel and Nudge cheered, Iggy and Gazzy gave evil smiles, Gazzy's unknown to Iggy, which I ignored for the time being. And guess who stayed silent. Fang. He did give me an odd look, which I answered with a shrug, but he followed us all the same.

There will be more action in the next few chapters.

Also, if anyone remembers if there are more wolves that joined Jake's pack during Breaking Dawn, it would be great if you could tell me. I don't remember, and I couldn't find any when I looked back through the book today, but I probably missed it if there were.

If you have an answer to the question above, or just want to review, press that button! You will be totally awesome if you do! Well, awesomer than you already are, in any case.
