ps. JP owns MR, not ME


Max's Pov

There we were. Hugging and smiling, back together, like we were supposed to be, when Ari ran into the room and grabbed my legs, followed by Ella who pulled me from Fang and hugged me.

"Max! Oh my gosh! I thought you died! You just fell and then Fang was all, I'm like her. And I was oh. Then his family is like you to! Except none of them are related to each other but Angle and the Gasman! Oh Max! I'm just glad your okay!" I smiled down at my siblings then pulled them to my bed and hugged them.

"I love you two! You know that?" They beamed at me and then saw Fang still standing there.

"Did he hurt you? Max! Why I'm gonna! You better be nice with my sister! Or else!" I almost cracked up laughing at Ella's trying to be a overprotective little sister.

"No, it's ok. F-nick was just going to explain how I got knocked out when you came in!" I was trying to be serious, and not succeeding,"can you stall Mom for a few minutes, I'm going to talk to Nick," I smiled and they nodded and ran out the door I sighed and saw Ella come back in, "What!" I was practically screaming for a minute alone with Fang.

"Oh just thought I'd let you know that I know, that Nick knows, that I know, that you know that you both have wings. Just so you know."

Then she left. I stared at the door and Fang stared at me. "What do you remember?"

"Everything, leaving, your name, Jeb, my Mom, forgetting," I looked at him to see him looking at me happily, I liked the memories. Saying that I remember my past. I'm in heaven right now!

"So, all you need to know is that I escaped with the help of your Dad and Anne and then he left and we have been living happily. Except me who's been looking for you and for their parents."

I raised my eyebrow, "are they like us? When did you meet? Is that how Iggy lost his eyesight?"

"Yes, right after you... left, and yes again," he looked up thoughtfully to make sure he answered each question.

"Really? And Ariel and Zephyr? Are they really... related?"

"Their real names are Angle and the Gasman, and yeah. They are the only ones. But as far as I know your parents really are your parents," this is where I wished he said "no Ari is related to Ella as full brother and Jeb is nowhere in your bloodstream!" but no. He rained on my parade.

"huh," that's all I could say. Then it hit me, "Where are your parents?"

"Umm.. see, we don't know. We think Angle and Gazzy's parents sold them, and we had an encounter with Iggy's, but I think they sold him to," I felt so sad. I lived the good life while they still were in cages without anyone but each other. I think he heard my thoughts because he raised my chin with one of his fingers. "Its not your fault you know, you didn't force yourself to forget your life, you didn't take yourself away. Don't put this on you, okay? Its not your fault. Say it," he is so sweet. He doesn't even see that it is my fault. If only I listened to mom and didn't fly in the house!

"Fine. Its not my fault," I could get good at this lying thing!

"Max, I know your lying," dang being able to read each others faces!

"Humph, lets go downstairs," alright, I admit that I couldn't think of a comeback! I walked to my door and started going down the stairs. Fang came up behind me and grabbed my hand. We were in this together. As we walked down the stairs I looked and saw shadows in the living room. We walked in there and saw everybody talking. I stomped into the living room, "guess everyone knows everyone, thats good! We can go straight to the explanations!" Gotta love sarcasm!

Mom was first to talk, "Max! Your okay! I was so worried! I mean I didn't know what was going on! Oh, I'm just so glad your okay!"

So I turned to Jeb, "Was she part of the School to?"

Everyone stared at me. I guess bluntness isn't that great... But Anne was surprisingly the one who answered, "She was until they took her cells to create you. She saw what they were and quite. But you were already created. Jeb took you away. He brought you to your mothers. They would never think to look here. But then I learned about Fang and the rest of the flock. So we took them away. We agreed to keep you separate until the right time. Which is now, but its not my job to tell you why. That is Jeb's."

We turned to him. All heads at the same time, it was actually kind of cool. Like slowmo or somethin! He glared at Anne then turned to me looked right in my eyes and turned my world upside down. "Your supposed to save the world Max."

Now that's a way to ruin an evening.
