Chapter 9
Max's POV
Rosa woke us up at 6 am, and told us to ready, while she woke the guys, and made us breakfast. At first I couldn't remember why we were getting up so early, and then when I got downstairs it dawned on me.
It is the first day of school for us, great.
When I got downstairs, the guys were just sitting at the table, and the only one of them who was ready, was Fang.
"Good morning, Gazzy Iggy why are you two not ready?"
"Because we were hungry, and wanted something to eat."
"I told them to go get ready if they wanted something to eat; obviously they have not taken me seriously." Rosa said coming in, and putting a plate in front of me and Fang. When Angel, Nudge, and Anne cam in she put plates in front of them, then she looked at Iggy and Gazzy and said
"If you two want any food, before school, go and get dressed now."
"Ok fine" Iggy and Gazzy said as they got up and ran upstairs, they came back five minutes later, and sat back down in their seats and started to eat as Rosa put plates in front of them. The rest of us went to get our bags as we waited on Gazzy and Iggy, to finish eating.
Once everyone had gotten their things we went outside, and took off, with Rosa's sister running beneath us. When we got near the school, we landed in the forest that is near the school, and walked the rest of the way. Anne met us in the parking lot, and showed us to the office so that we could get our schedules. We looked at them, and me, Iggy, and Fang all pretty much had the same classes, except for the morning class, that was the only one where it would be just me and Iggy. Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy had to go to the school across the street, which was the middle and Elementary schools to get their schedules, so we said goodbye, and I told them we would meet near the edge of the woods. Iggy and I said goodbye to Fang as we went our separate ways, and went to our first class, biology.
"This should be fun." I said forcing some enthusiasm.
"Yep, if only I would be able to see the teacher."
"Don't worry Fang and I will take notes for you, and then we can read them to you later."
"Ok, you I trust to take decent notes, but Fang? Not so much." Iggy said with a laugh
I laughed too, and said "Oh I am sure he can pay attention when he wants to."
We got to our classroom then, and I handed our schedules to the teacher, and told him that Iggy was blind. He instructed us to sit anywhere there were open seats, and I found two side by side, in the back of the room. The teacher, who was in his forties, started the lesson with a lecture on photosynthesis.
Gosh this is so boring, come on, we know this is how plants make food; you have said that like a thousand times now. Move on.
I was trying to take notes for Iggy, when he leaned over, and said "Is this guy repeating himself, or are my ears messed up too?"
"He is pretty much repeating himself, so your ears are fine."
"Good, because that would just be sad," Iggy said, adding "for me" as an afterthought.
I tried not to laugh so that, we wouldn't bring attention to ourselves, but when the bell rang shortly after that, I had to laugh. When we met up with Fang outside our class, I was still giggling.
"What is up with Max?"
"Nothing, just something I said I guess."
"Oh, well I guess we should get to class." Fang said
We walked quickly to class, and it was better than the first, because the teacher didn't repeat herself. When the bell rang for lunch, it was a relief, because it meant that we only had two more classes. After lunch the rest of the day went by quickly, and we were soon running outside toward the trees where we were to meet up with the rest of the flock. Anne was there, so we waited with her, and soon after the rest of the flock showed up. Once everyone was there, we ran into the woods, and took off toward home, Anne was running again, and it looked like she was having a race with us, but then when we were about almost to the Cullen's house, I saw a black dot on the horizon to the east, and it was getting bigger.
"Flyboys and Erasers," I shouted just as they came into view "Go down!" I finished, and we all dived toward the house. As we dived I thought
Flyboys, Erasers, coming this way!
As soon as we landed, the flock got ready for a fight.
Good job guys
The Cullens and Rosa came out then, and Anne showed up not to soon after. I looked at them, and said
"There are at least twenty, maybe more of them"
Only Rosa and Edward knew what I was talking about, so they explained it to the Cullens quickly, and then I saw the Cullens come down, and stand by us and Anne.
Rosa's POV
"Don't worry Max and Flock; we won't let them get you. That goes for you too, Rosa and Anne." David said
"I don't need protecting, David." I said
Ugh, how dare he even say that to me, I can see saying that to the others, but not to me.
Rosa, you know that I don't think you need, I was just say that if they take you, I will follow, and get you back.
Ugh, just leave me alone now to beat the crap out of some eraser, before I do something to you, which I will regret.
Ok, sorry
I didn't hear anything else from him after that, and I just sighed and started to think of something to say back. However the erasers would not give me that, because they decided to land then, and my anger returned tenfold. The lead eraser said
"Nice to see you again Max, how have you been?"
"Why do you care, Ari?"
"I was just asking" the Ari guy said
"Look, Ari, I just want to say that no matter what you do, you will not get these kids." Carlisle said
"Oh really, and how are you to say that?"
"He is Carlisle, and I am Rosa, and I say that you should leave, before we kick your furry but into next week." I growled
"Oh, we in that case, I think I will stay."
"Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you."
"Consider me warned." Ari said with a smile.
As soon as Ari jumped toward Max, I jumped at him, and with my enhanced speed, I beat him, and tackled him to the ground.
"Ah-ah, no touching the bird kid, dog"
"You really are confident aren't you?"
"No, I just like fighting; it gives me something to do." I said as I punched him is the nose, my one blow seemed to knock him out, but when I loosened my grip, he kicked me away, and then tried to jump on me, but Max tackled him first, and then proceeded to beat him until he was most definitely knocked out.
"Nice"
"Thanks"
It was a short conversation, because we jumped back into the battle, we fought side by side through most of the battle, unless one of the flock, or a Cullen needed help, but it was usually the flock, that needed the help, because they were the targets. However once one of the flyboys, and two erasers grabbed my sister, and started to take her away, I got so mad, that I felt like I had exploded, and I soon found myself on four legs.
Wow this is seriously weird. I thought as I jumped at the flyboy, and tor off its head, then I went after the closest eraser, and just knocked him out. The second one then turned to face me, and jumped at me, but I was jumping too, so we collided in the air. When we collided in sounded like thunder, the force of our jumps pushed the other back, I didn't even wait to land completely, instead as soon as my back feet touched the ground I was off jumping toward the eraser again. I hit him just before he hit the ground, and there I pinned him, and used my paw to knock him out too. Once my sister was safe, I turned around see that the eraser I had knocked out was gone, and was now flying away with the others, however two erasers were still here, and it looked like they were waiting, so I moved away from the eraser behind me, and they ran forward, picked him up, and then took off after the other erasers. When I survey the field I saw parts of flyboys everywhere, and I saw the Fang was on the ground. I also saw that the entire flock was just looking at me like I was about to attack them, I tried to speak, but all that came out was a low growl, and that just made them back up so more. Then I hear a voice say
Hello, sis. I knew you could change too.
Huh? What is going on?
Yes I am in your head, and no your shield does not work when you are a wolf. I am just here in your head, because we are a part of the same pack, which sadly only consists of us two.
Oh, does that mean I am a wolf and a vampire now?
Yep
Cool, now how do I change back, because this form is scaring the flock.
You just have to calm down
But I am clam
Then think of something happy, but first go into the bushes, if you change back here, you won't have any clothes. So go into the bushes, and wait there, until I give you some clothes.
Ok I thought as I walked into the bushes, a few minutes later Anne was back, and she had clothes for me.
"Here you go, now think of something happy."
I thought of the day that Anne was born, and I felt myself, kind of stitch back together.
Weird
As soon as I put the clothes on, I run out of the bushes, and go over to Fang, but Max stops me.
"Max, let me through, I want to help, not hurt."
"No, Carlisle is doing just fine."
"But he needs help, and I am the only other person, that is not affected by the smell of human blood."
"Yeah, but we are not all human, we have bird DNA to, and besides, Edward is helping him, and I have a few questions for you let's go over there." Max said pointing toward the porch
"Fine"
We walked over, and sat on the steps.
"Was that you, the big gray wolf, with what looked like blue in your fur?"
"I guess, I don't know what color my fur was, but I was the wolf, because my sister has brown in her fur." I said
"Ok, that is good because you scared everyone, when the wolf came out."
"I know, it scared me to, it felt like I was exploding."
"Well just so you know that is what it looked like too."
By now Fang was stitched up, and Carlisle was moving him into the house. Me and Max, got up then and went to follow them in, but all of a sudden pain shot up and down my back, making me go down to one knee.
"Rosa are you ok?" Max asked
"Edward do you hear Jane?" Alice asked
"It is not Jane, because my shield is around both of us, and she is still on her knees." Bella said from somewhere above me.
I wasn't sure how long I was on my knees, but eventually the pain eased, and I was able to say
"Bella's right it wasn't Jane, because the pain was is just one area on my back."
"Well that is definitely not how Jane works." David said
I started to get to my feet, and Max tried to help, but I told her that I can do it. Once I was on my feet I took off toward the door, and then to the bathroom that was near my room. When I got there I shut and locked the door, and then I looked into the mirror. Since the pain had been in my back, I turned to look there, and what I saw shocked me, so bad that my shield dropped. I went to sit on the floor, and when I did sit down I started to put my shield back up. That was when I heard a knock on the door.
"Go away, I am not talking to you or anyone else Edward." I said, because I was sure that he had heard my shocked thoughts.
"It's not Edward." The person on the other side of the door said. "It is me"
"David?"
"No"
"Then who is it." I said getting angrier
"Max"
I sighed, and went to open the door, at least she would know what I was going through, and when I opened the door I said
"What do you want?"
"To see if you were ok and to talk to you"
"Come in, and lock the door behind you."
I went to sit back on the floor and after locking the door Max came to sit across from me. We sat in silence has I made sure my shield was not going to fall anytime soon. Once I was sure is would stay, I said
"What did you want to talk about?"
"You, and your wings" she said "How do you feel about them?"
"I don't know I am still in shock that the school was able to do something to me. I mean I am a freaking vampire, with hard a diamonds skin, which by the way nothing can penetrate, unless they are vampire teeth or werewolf teeth."
"Actually Rosa, you are a vampire that can change into a huge sticking wolf when mad enough." She said with a laugh
"True, but I have been thinking, and if I am going to have wings, be a vampire, then I don't think I need to go wolf, so I am probably going to figure out how to become a non-werewolf, and just be a flying vampire instead."
"That sounds pretty awesome, actually."
"I know, and I would be the first one, too." I said finally laughing
"I knew I could get you to laugh, but now we need to get down to business."
"Ok"
"So you are ok with being a freak?"
"Max I was a freak long before the school got a hold of me, and made me a flying vampire. I mean I was a freaking wolf, and didn't even know it!"
"True, but now you're a freak with wings."
"No I am still the same freak, I can just fly now."
"If you want to look at it that way, but you understand, that if you go out in public, you with look a lot more bulky once your wings grow to their full length, right?"
"Yeah, I may not be doing that so much, not that I did a lot of socializing before."
"Ok, once your wings are in fully, I will teach you how to fly, ok?"
"Ok"
"Well I will leave you alone." She said getting up and going to the door, when she had left, with the door locked, I just sat there, and thought about what I should do. A couple of hours later I went down, to face everyone and their questions, but when I came into the living room, no one asked or said anything to me. No one even stared at me; it was odd to say the least. I sat down somewhat away from everyone, and watched TV with them. After a while I went to my room, to get a book, and went up to the roof to read it, away from the weird silence that was downstairs. Once I was on the roof, I hardly read, I really just thought of questions that they would ask, and the answers I would give them. When I had thought of all the possible questions and answers, I then thought of how I would go about telling them, which would in the end start the questioning.
Ugh
Around midnight I started reading the book I had pick, it was by an author that wasn't really well know, but the book was really good, and I had finished it by dawn. When the sun came up, only to be covered by the clouds as soon as it reached to tops of the trees, I went back down, and found everyone in my room.
"Hey guys, I was just about to go down to the living room, to tell you that I know have wings, and that I am not sure how this happened, but I will answer any questions."
"Ok, we just wanted to tell you that we will stand beside you." Carlisle said, as everyone left, but my sister
"Thanks" I called after them
"Rosa, I know that you want to stop being a wolf, and I just wanted to tell you that you can't, not be a werewolf, but you can stop phasing, which mean that if you were not a vampire you would become a human, and would age like one."
"Ok, thanks for telling me that, I was actually about to ask you how to not be a werewolf"
"You're welcome, now if you will excuse me I have to get ready for school."
Ten minutes later, the flock and my sister were off to school, and I was heading up to my room, to get another book to read, while I waited on them to get home. I was reading a book from a well know author, when my back exploded in pain again, except this time, I heard my shirt rip some. When the pain finally went away, about an hour later, I ran to the bathroom to look at my wings and to see what had happened, and all I could think was
Oh Alice is going to kill me.
When I reached the bathroom, I looked in the mirror, and saw that my wings had grown a good foot and a half, from the little stubs they were before.
Great, well good thing is if they keep growing like this, I should be able to fly by the end of the week.
Alice came in then, and said
"What was that ripping sound I heard?"
"Um, my wings growing, and ripping through my shirt?" I answered
"Perfect."
"Sorry, but I can't really help it, you know?"
"I know I just wish you had chosen a plain t-shirt."
"Really, you Alice, who loves fashion, and complained every time I wore a t-shirt, actually wants me to wear one now?"
"Yes, at least until your wings quit growing, and I can make you some shirts that are already cut in the back, and made to look whole."
"Ah, that sounded more like the Alice I know and love."
"Hey, want colors are they, because I can't completely tell."
"They are, mostly brown, with want looks like gold in them, and they look like they are from a big bird species."
"Thanks." I said as I left, and went back to my room to continue reading, and by the time the flock and my sister came home at three, I had finished it, and another one from the same series. When I heard the flock land I went down stairs, and helped Edward with snacks, while I passed out lemonade, Edward gave them a sandwich. Once they had eaten I told them to go start their homework, and then I asked Edward to come with me to the leaving room, were we met with David, Jasper, and Alice. Once I had sat down, I told them that my wings had grown some more, and that I thought I would be able to start to learn to fly by the end of the week, but if I was doing something, and suddenly cried out in pain, to just put me on my bed or a couch, and wait until it was over, then I went upstairs and told my sister, Esmé, Rosalie, Emmett, and Bella the same thing. I went to check on the flock next, and asked them how school was.
"It was good, but I am glad that tomorrow is Saturday." Max said
"Us too" Everyone else chimed in
"Ok, well Max I should be able to learn how to fly so…" I started to say as the pain started again. I felt myself start to fall, but then I felt someone catch me, and then I was being lifted, and placed on a bed. The pain lasted longer this time, almost two and half hours, but when it finally stopped, and I checked my wings, they had grown to where they were about six feet, and about twelve feet from wing tip to wing tip.
"Jeez, that hurt, why did it last so long?"
"I think, because your wings grew about three feet in length." Carlisle said
"Oh" I said noticing him and David for the first time.
"Well thank you how ever caught me so that I would not hit the floor."
"You're welcome." David said, and I sighed, I still needed to apologize for yesterday.
"David, can we go for a walk?"
"Sure" He said as he turned to leave, I got up, and followed him, we didn't talk, until we were at our secret spot. I climbed down, and went into the cave that was hidden there, and waited for him to come in. When he did I said
"Let's sit down."
"Ok"
We sat on the couch turned toward each other, and I started by saying
"David, I am sorry that I snapped at you, for what you said, and now that I am a wolf, and I found out that my becoming a wolf can put me at risk, I am glad that you are my mate, and that you will always be there for me. Especially when I need you, like when the pain comes, and I need someone to catch me when I fall."
"I will always be there to catch you when you fall, and I am sorry if what I said had offended you."
"That is ok, I understand why you had said it, and you knew that I was not as indestructible, as I thought I was at the time."
"So you knew that Anne had told us that you were possibly a werewolf too?"
"Yeah, but when I heard it in your mind, I didn't want to believe it, after I was forced to, by going wolf in the middle of a battle." I said laughing at how stubborn I could be.
David laughed too, and we moved on to better conversations, mainly kissing.
"I love you David, you are my forever."
"Your mine too, Rosa."
We stayed in our cave, talking and listening to music. Occasionally I would go get a book, and start to read, but that never lasted very long, before David would distract me. One time a semi slow song came on and David asked me to dance, so I did, and he twirled me around, to a good bit of songs, before I stopped him, and went to sit back on the couch. It was about midnight, and we were just about to leave, when the pain came back, and I nearly fell, except that David caught me again, and put me on the couch. I heard rather than saw him sit by my head, and wait on the pain to end. When it finally did end, I looked at my phone, and it said it was 4 o'clock, in the morning.
"Jeez I was in pain for four hours?"
"Apparently" David said looking at my phone too.
David helped me up, and I didn't complain even though I could have gotten up by myself. We ran back home, and I went right to the bathroom mirror, my wings were now had a wingspan of twenty feet, and that meant that each wing was ten feet long.
Jeez I hope my wings are done growing.
I went down, and told everyone that my wings had grown more, and that I thought they were done, but wasn't sure if they were. After that we watched the news, until the flock and my sister came down at eleven. When twelve o'clock rolled around, I made lunch, and called the flock and my sister down to eat, Jacob even came over with Seth, so I was glad that I had made extra, because Alice had said that she could not see anything happening from twelve to one. At one the wolves left, and I went outside to try my wings for the first time.
"Hey Max you ready to try to teach a vampire some new tricks?"
"Sure"
"This should be fun to watch." Emmett said
"Emmett do everyone a favor, and shut up"
"Not going too happened anytime soon, and if I were you I would focus on not falling."
"Shut up Emmett, before I make you!"
"Ok, but if you do mess up, you will not live it down."
That was when I threw a rock at his head, and I managed to hit his shoulder, because he had moved just a fraction of an inch, before it reached him. After that Max started talking, so I couldn't do anything for the moment, but I used my shield to tell him
I will get you later
Looking forward to it
Good I thought, before I tuned back into what Max was saying
"Ok so first just flap your wings" she said, and I did, then she said "Ok now we are going to run, and then jump into the air, and remember keep flapping or you will fall."
"Ok" I said as we took off at a run, I keep my speed to match hers, so when she jumped up and started to flap her wings, I did the same. I was able to stay in the air for all of three minutes, before I started to fall. However instead of falling to the ground, I had keep my shield underneath me, but I still had two feet to fall, before my feet touched it. When my feet touched my shield, I gently made my shield lower to the ground, Max landed beside me, and said
"That was good for your first time."
"Thanks, let's try again."
We keep trying, but I could only stay up for a few minutes, before I would do something, and fall. After three hours of trying, Max went in, and I said that I was going to keep trying. I stayed outside, running jumping, and flapping through the night, and when max came back out, I showed her that I could only stay up in the air for ten minutes, before something would happen, and I would fall. So she said,
"Today you are taking a break, and then later we will try something else."
"Ok" I said "I think I am going to go hunting, when I get back we can try some more, right?"
"Yeah"
"Cool" I said as I ran into the woods.
You may be wondering, how Rosa can have wings, but as I said in the chapter, she is a lot more vulnerable, when she is a wolf, because her skin is not hard, and she can't protect herself using her shield.
If anyone can guess which bird Rosa's wings came from, then the next chapter will be dedicated to them. Tell me your answer in a review or PM me. If you need a hint PM me, and this bird can be found using a search engine.
Please Review!
