Hi! This chapter gets confusing but if you read other chapters it'll make some sense. One new character and two characters you've heard of but never really met.
A little language.

Disclaimer:
Santa: What do you want for Christmas?
Me: I want to own the Maximum Ride books!
Santa: No.
Me: How about just Max?
Santa: Um... No.
Me: Forget you Santa. Your not even real.
I've always wanted to try one of those : )

~*Max POV~*

We had successfully moved my things to Fangs and now we were changing things around and throwing away stuff.

"You now this house should be remodeled to allow more light in! There should be more color in this living room! Also..." Nudge was just throwing out ideas of how the house should be arranged.

Honestly, I didn't think we really needed it. The house already began to have a me feel to it. That's all I wanted.

"Hey Max can I talk to you?" Fang whispered in my ear.

No one was paying attention to us but still I followed him out to the back.

"What is it?" I asked. He looked as if he was trying to put his thoughts into words. "come on you could tell me." I said.

"You won't get mad?" He asked looking into my eyes.

I laughed, "as long as it not something like you have more kids."

"No!" He laughed. Now we were both laughing for what reason? I don't know.

"or...or, " I said trying to catch my breath " you're going to jail!"

"Nothing like that! Just Kays going to be staying with us for a while. " He said quickly disguising it with a laugh but I caught it and stop laughing.

"What did you say?" I growled.

"I said 'nothing like that'." he said faking a laugh.

"Don't you play with me!" I said finding a crowbar on the ground and quickly picking it up.

"You look so cute when you mad."

"how sweet." I said sarcastically "you've got three seconds..." I said raising the crowbar over my shoulders.

He didn't say nothing.

"One..." I counted. He didn't say anything I could not believe he was testing me.

"Three!" I screamed and swung the crowbar at his head just as he ducked. Dammit!

He was at lost for words, "You really were going to hit me!" He accused.

"No freakin' duh." I said and lowered the crowbar.

He jumped to grab it out my hand, I let him. "Why is she moving in with us?" I asked sitting against the wall to put my face into my hands.

"She's not moving in she's just stayin' hear until she could move out. Which won't be more then two weeks."

"Why don't she stay with someone else!" I screamed my anger flaring up again. My breath came out ridged and I tried to breath calmly through my nose.

"She doesn't have no one else over here." He said quietly.

"Then why don't she stay her ass over there!" I said pointing randomly somewhere.

"She... can't not if she wants them that is part of the agreement!" He said not really shouting but his voice had risen at the 'them' part.

I stopped for a second calculating my next words, "What them? What agreement?" I asked.

He didn't say anything for a second just looked out up to the sky,
"when the twins were born she had to mess up her life plans to fit them in and she went back to South America to take care of her mother and get a new degree.

Before she left we made an agreement she has no more then five years to get everything on track after that she gets her kids." he whispered.

I was quiet just thinking. It took so much for me to take these girls into my life, I mentally had to fight myself. Now I accepted them and this... this (note to self think of an insulting name for her) lady come to take them away! I felt real attached to them. If I feel like that I can't even begin to imagine how Fang felt.

"Well you can't let her do that! Those girls are your life!" I said.

"Yeah Max but their part of her life too." He said.

"Whose has been the one clothing, feeding and taking care of them for the past four years?" I declared.

"Me."

"Yeah. And whose been the one that went to every single parent teacher meeting?" I asked.

"Me." He said pointing to himself.

"That's right." I encouraged "so what right does she have to come to take your kids away?" I asked.

"None!" He said smacking his palm against the wall.

"True. Which is why were going to file a lawsuit!" I said.

"Yes! Waite Max no." He said losing the determined voice.

"Yes we are and we'll win!" I said. "Why should she get to take them? What about you?" I asked.

"but Max it seems wrong..."

"No it is not." I insisted.

"Wait what about her coming to stay here?" He asked as I began to walk away.

"Oh, that's fine as long as she doesn't stay over one week." I said.

"Damn bitch" I muttered to myself. I actually could not stand the fact that she was staying here but if she doesn't I won't get to observe her and see what I could use against her in court.


"Max are we still going?" Ana asked.

Me and Ella were taking them to the mall to find something to wear to their graduation from preschool. But I didn't feel like going not just because I despised the mall but I felt like crap.

I had a headache that seems to go and come back constantly and my stomach felt heavy like I ate way too much. I didn't even feel likes getting out of bed, but I had to, I've been putting this off for the past two weeks now the graduation was only a week away.

"Yeah lets go." I said. "We're going to meet Ella over there."

Ana groaned in the back seat, "I don't want her I want Nudge." she whined.

"You don't have to go." I said.

She stayed quiet for the rest of the short ride. When we arrived Ella was waiting for us in the east entrance Tyree ran to hug her.

We split, I took Ana and Ella took Tyree. It was the fastest way to find something for both of them considering how different their styles were.

Ana pulled me through many different stores but by the time we got to the second one my stomach started to act up and I run to the bathroom.

When I got out we went to a store called Mona's Kid clothes. There Ana tortured me by trying on 14 different outfits! Then she decided she hated the store and we left.

"Ana I have to go to the bathroom." I said.

"Again!" She said exasperated.

I was about to get out of the stall before I heard the door to the bathroom opened and someone walked in.

"Your so cute. But I could have sworn I've seen you on the other side of the mall." A lady said.

"You probably saw my sister." Ana said "I have to wait as Max stop at EVERY bathroom to poop."

The lady laughed along with all the other ladies in the bathroom. I was so embarrassed I waited until everyone left before I had the courage to get out.

~*Ella POV *~

"Ella I can't find anything." Tyree said.

"But were not done looking yet, there is still the other side of the mall." I said.

We could have been found something if it weren't for the fact that she was so picky! I love the mall but I was getting sick of walking around. Poor Max.

"But I don't want to look for it anymore! I give up." Tyree said. Then she was gone, I began to panic.

"Tyree?" I whispered looking around to see if anyone had seen that. It didn't seem like it.

"Tyree!" I whispered more urgently.

"Yes Ella." She said suddenly appearing behind me.

"Don't do that!" I yelled. "You know how much trouble we could get into?"

"Why would we get in trouble a lot of people are like that?" She said confused.

"Just don't. Okay?"

"okay."

We walked out of the store and crossed over to the other side.

~*Mia POV*~

They had not seen me but I saw them.

The little dark haired girl was standing there one second then in another she was gone! Then lady that was with her looked around; saw no one then whispered something.
After a second or so the little girl appeared out of thin air. Then they walked out.

"Mommy I know her," said Jordan, "She's in my class her names Tyree and she has a sister named Ana. Ana is my best friend she tells me everything."

"Jordan will you be able to tell me what is going on with those kids."

"Sure mommy."

This was great! If I am was able to report this imagine how much money I could make! I am sure no one knows anything about them or else I would have heard of it. I'm going to be rich!

~*Max POV*~

Something was wrong.
I didn't know what but I could feel something was really wrong. But today of course was full of wrong things, we didn't find the dresses and would have to return tomorrow. Ana humiliated me in front of total strangers and Tyree almost got us all arrested by disappearing in plain view!

When we got home there was a yellow cab in the driveway. A lady stepped out her shoulder length black hair bouncing up and down as she got out. She turned around and I could see her intelligent brown eyes that looked right at me but then shifted a tiny bit and grew shimmering in the late evening light.

"MOMMY!" The twins yelled running out of the car to hug her.

I laid my head on the steering wheel This day is turning out into a disaster.

A little rushed not the best but I will do better. One more big twist and I won't put any more.
