"Mom, please tell me your kidding. Please!" I said rubbing my temples. My mom laughed. "What are you laughing at?" I asked feeling insulted. She laughed again. "Oh Max," She said. "it's your reaction! Your not angrey with me, are you?" I grunted. My mother! Pregnat! Then my eyes got wide. I turned to Fang, with a sour discusted expression. "Jeb's the dad?" I asked pretty much knowing the answer. He nodded slowly. I nodded, squezzing my eyes shut, trying to get any mental images out of my head. "Okay mom, I'm going to be mature about this. I'm happy for you, and I'll be home as soon as I can." I said. "Um...Max," She said sounding worried. "Yes, mother? Any more surprises?" She laughed a little again. "Um, well you know how you were born with wings?"

"Yeah." I said. "Well, there might be a chance....that this baby is born with wings." She said back. I gasped. "But Ella wasn't born with wings," I said. "That's true, but there could still be a chance dear. A very slim chance, is what Jeb told me." I shook my head, and turned to the Flock. "What'd she say?" Nudge asked. "It might have wings." I said to them. They all got bewildered expressions. "How?" Gazzy asked. "Because the genes could still be there," I said. "even if Ella wasn't born with them." I turned back to the phone. "Um, look I'll call you back soon mom." I said. "Okay Max. We miss you."

"I miss you too. Bye mom." I hung up the phone. I gave it to Gazzy, and he put it back on the reciever. I ran a hand through my hair. "Do you really think it'll have wings?" Fang asked. I sighed. "I don't know. But it could be possible." I shook my head. "I'm gonna go upstairs for a second." They nodded. I walked back into the room where Nikkie was still sitting where she was. I sat back down beside her. "Congrats," She said softly, still looking at the moon. I grunted. "You heard?" I asked. She nodded, turning to me. Her eyes had gotten black again. No white, no puples. I backed away a little bit. "Can you like....change that?" I asked creeped out. She shook her head. "Sorry." She said. "The mood I'm in."

"What would that be?" I asked. She sighed, closing her eyes, making me feel better. "Sorrow." She softly answered. I thought for a moment. "Do you miss your family?" I asked. She shook her head. "Not my entire family. Just one person in particular." She opened her black eyes again. "But that person isn't here any more. Killed by a person that was related to her by...blood." She chukled. "What?" I asked. She shook her head. "My family was not human. That's all I'm gonna say."

"Well...can I know the person's name?" I asked. "No. And the question you were asking me, if a family member did that to my leg? The answer is yes. No more questions tonight." I sighed, and nodded. "The rest of the Flock is coming to bed now. We all sleep in the floor, and three of them sleep in that bed. Me, Fang, and Iggy sleep on the floor. Okay?" She nodded, and pulled her small feet up the the seat she was sitting on. Her knees reached her head, and her eyes slowly became blue again. I walked away, and went to get the rest of the Flock.

The vampires had went hunting a few miles away from the house. Only the Flock, and Nikkie was in the house. Everyone was asleep, exept for Fang and me. We were watching the weird non-human girl sleep. She was breathing softly, but heavily. Her hands were in between her legs and her chest, and they would tremble every now and then. "You think she's cold?" I asked Fang. He shook his head. "You shake like that sometimes," He said softly. "whenever you would have a bad dream or something." I raised an eyebrow. "You think she's having a bad dream?" He shrugged. "Well what do you think that werewolves/vampires would dream about?" I thought for a second. "She told me, that she missed someone in her family. But they were gone. And they were killed by a family member."

"Hmm." Fang mumbled. He turned to me. "Can I ask you something?" He asked. I nodded. "What'd you see in your brain attack when we first ot here?" I thought back. "I saw a two men and a girl standing on the other side of a field.....Angel and Nessie playing.....me fighting with a small pale girl. You were getting attacked by a pale person too. Then me telling you I loved you." He thought for a moment. "Well we've already seen Angel and Nessie playing, and you've already told me you looooved me." He smiled, and I narrowed my eyes at him. Then I got worried. "So now we only have the other three visions left." I swallowed. "Well maybe the other three people at the feild aren't bad people." Fang said. I shook my head. "I don't think so. But that is why we came here. I do have a mission." I layed down on the soft carpet, and Fang knelt down and kissed my forhead. "We have a mission together. All of us. Not just you."

"I don't-" I began. But Fang shook his head at me. "We don't have any idea when these people are coming, it could be tomorrow. You need to sleep. I'll take first watch. Iggy can take it tonight. You don't have to." I nodded at him. "Thanks." I whispered, sleep taking me over.

Nikkie POV

I was dreaming. A memory I never wanted to remember followed me, everytime I slept. The command I had been told, and the warning I had, when I didn't do the command. "It's your warning," She hissed, my blood over her long fangs. "you mess up, all of them, and you, are going to be dead! No one can save you this time! You've been lucky all of your sorry little life! Your a mistake!" She whipped the blood on her sleeve. "But," She smiled. "if you succed my dear, you'll be spared. And were not lieing this time. You won't end up like Gianna. She was nothing but a sorry little wannabe Nikkoletta! You've killed numorus people. You shouldn't feel any emotion, or sorrow for humans. No one." She knelt down to me, as I screamed in pain. "Whenever you even think about backing out of this," Suddenly my leg felt like it was being stabbed with a million knives..."that will happen." She finished. She pulled my arm up, making me stand up. She took a cast looking thing out of a pocket of her dress. She put it in her hand. "You are a very smart creature Nikkoletta. You will not fail." Another pain in my leg. "We will check on you the first night you see them." We were in the entrence of the big home on that cold night. She turned to her brother, who was waiting for her. "Do not mess up. The Cullen's have gone to far with it this time." She said. And I ran into the night.

I gasped, waking up. My hands were trembling, and my leg began to hurt. "Ah..." I groaned as I clutched my leg. I looked up at the moon. Still had time. I turned to the pair of eyes that were staring at me. The blind one? Iggy. "You okay?" He asked. He must have heard me wake up. "Yeah," I said, putting the cast on my leg. I stood up. "Where you going?" He asked. "Hunting." I replied. Then I looked at him. "Hey, will you do me a favor?" He asked. "What?" I said. He pointed behind his back. I raised an eyebrow, and walked behind him. He left his wings out half way, and pointed at a feather, that was in a different position than the others. "Pull that out." He said. I reached for it, and pulled it, with Iggy wincing. He sighed, and pulled his wings back in. "Thanks." He said. I looked at the feather. I slowly put it in my pants pocket, and walked out of the room.

I blocked every thought I had about what had just happened, making sure that the mindreading blood sucker wouldn't hear me. I walked into the living room, and the Cullens were there. Their eyes were bright gold, meaning they had just been hunting. Everyone turned to me. I folded my arms across my chest. "Um, I'm gonna go hunting, if that's okay." I said. "Of course dear," Esme said smiling. "would you like one of us to go with you?" I shook my head. "No thank you. I won't be gone long." They nodded, and I walked out the door.

When I got to the end of the drive, I closed my eyes. I felt a burst of energy go everywhere in my body. I opened my eyes, and looked around, with my eyes. I could see different than humans, wolves, and vampires. I could see miles away, and I did. I saw my 'comander' and some of the others waiting for me, in the feild where I had met Max. I ran to that place.

There were three of them. I walked to the other side of the feild, and stood about five feet from them. "Hello Nikkie," The one with olive skin said. "Hello Felix," I said. "Alec, Jane. How are the others?" Felix replied, "Looking forward to this really." He smiled at Alec. Bastard. "There is six of them," I said. "I met the leader. She is sarcastic, and is also an item with another one of them. They were made as expierments, in a lab, and they escaped. No one they know of is hunting them now. She got a phone call from her biological mother, that she would have a child. Max has a sister named Ella who doesn't have wings, but there is still a slight chance this one could have wings."

"How big are the wings?" Alec asked. "The largest is fifthteen feet across," I said remembering Fang's wings. I took the golden-yellow feather out of my pocket, and handed it to Jane. Alec and Felix studied it also. "Over fourteen feet," Jane awed. I nodded. "What are their ages and names?" Alec asked. "Max and Fang, who are an item, are both fifthteen. Iggy, who I got that feather from, is fourteen, almost fifthteen. Nudge just turned twelve. Gazzy is nine, and Angel, who is Gazzy's sister, is seven." They all looked at each other. "Very good Nikkoletta. We will need more though, by the next time we come. Has anything changed with the Cullens?" Felix asked. I shook my head. "Nessie is still growing, but not as fast." I told him. They nodded. "We will come back, and bring Heidi and Demetri next." I nodded. "You will be rewarded for this Nikkie," Felix said. "we promise." Oh wow. Big deal. But I nodded. Jane studied the feather again. "May I keep this?" She said, even though she wouldn't take no for an answer. "Besides," She laughed. "it's not like they will need them after all of the Volturi destroys them, and those damned Cullens!"

"Easy Jane," Alec said to his sister. She hissed at him. Jane and Felix began to walk away. Alec turned to me. "Were coming in a week." I nodded, as he turned away. Alec always seemed like he felt sorry for me, and always gave me hint of what his possessed sister would do, or any of the Volturi. I began to walk away as well. I smiled at myself, feeling smart for not telling them that the Flock had powers. If I was going to do the dirty work for the Volturi, I was gonna do it my way...if I even followed through with it.
