I give many extremely late tidings to those who've reviewed:

Matie: Of course you want green hair. It would be awesome! Well, Ren's dad's going to make an appearance, in this chapter, and one more.

WavesOfLife: It's ok. Even I get the urge to kick my own character's butt once in a while.

Animebookfreak: Will isn't exactly evil. He's kind of evil, but more on the lines of being extremely bipolar.

Still can't believe it's been so long since I've updated! I've had finals, vacation with no computer, and a case of Wanker's Cramp, the deadliest of all British diseases. (No offence to all those who are British.) I'll try to update a lot sooner than before. I feel terrible for not updating months earlier.

I don't own this. James Patterson does own Maximum Ride. No onward with the "merry" tale!

Eros's POV.

Today's the day I have to check on the kids. Every week, every god or goddess has to check up on all of his or her mortal children. So I have to check on my technically mortal children, Ren and Iggy. I teleported into the viewing room, walking over to the secretaries with an uneasy smile on my face.

"Aries, Luna, I need access to the Monitor. Give me the pass."

The middle-aged minor goddess Aires checked the huge calendar, to see if he was right. Aires saw that Eros was right. She sighed, and ordered her underling to give the pass to the major god. Luna dug into the large bin on the floor behind the desk, and searched for one of two passes in the bin. A minute later, she finally came up with the green and black pass. She handed it over to me.

"Make sure you don't ruin the machine like you did a hundred years ago. It took so long to get it fixed that we were working the late shift for fifty years! Do not do it again." Luna said, glaring at me.

I uneasily glanced back at her. I have to be careful. The next time I mess up that badly with the machine, those two would hurt me, really, really badly.

I walked past the desk, to the right, until I reached a huge steel door. I placed the card in the slot, and it beeped, letting me in. The door opened for me, and I stepped inside. The lights switched on, and the door closed behind me, which was just a safety measure.

I walked towards the machine, and turned it on. The newer machine had a large on button visible. Probably for people like me, who've ruined it. I put on the headphones, and gave the secret password for my account. A new video was up, so I clicked on it.

At first, the video was ok. It almost made me smile, it was that cute. Then, I almost gasped in horror.

Holy crap, Holy crap, Holy Crap! My mind blanked, intense worry for my daughter taking over for a second. I never thought this could happen to any of my children. It hasn't happened before, to any god, surprisingly.

I have to help her! But then, the rules came back to me. I can only help indirectly. Crap in the Nile, what do I do?

Then, I thought of the perfect idea. Visit in a dream! But first, I need to knock her out, so I can visit in soul form.

If she gets out, I will grant her biggest wish. No, scratch that, I will grant her dearest wish right now. In case she dies, then at least she can die a little happier than before.

I ordered the door to open, and ran out, throwing Luna the pass hurriedly. I had to quickly get the wish granted, using all the favors I had, and then find a comfortable spot to leave my body, until my spirit comes back.

TOORMENT! THIS PAGEBREAK IS TORMENTING YOU!

Ren's POV.

I opened my eyes, seeing nothing. Then, a bright light came out of nowhere, blinding me for a minute. While my vision was fixing itself, a strange heat came over my body. When I could finally see again, I saw my wings, draped around me, creating a blanket. I looked around, until a small spotlight focused on a figure I could barely see.

As I looked at the person, I noticed something about the figure that I could not see before. It was a man, with my hair, only cut shorter and blue eyes like Iggy's. His skin was the white I knew way too well.

But when I looked a little harder, I saw things that made my eyes widen. A quiver full of arrows on his back, a bow in one hand might have been somewhat normal. But when I saw his wings, which were so much like mine, I knew who it was.

"DAD!" I yelled, while running up to him and glomping him. I haven't seen him since I was ten. Four years of no contact from your dad sucks. At least he gave me my arrows.

"Ren, the reason I came to visit you was to help you out, to help make a plan. Oh, by the way, this is the spirit world, or the plane between Olympus and Earth. Once you grow older, you can visit here. Only the immortals can go out of their bodies and take another person along with them. This conversation is totally private." Eros said.

"I almost forgot. Happy Birthday Ren!"

Then reality came crashing down on my shoulders again. I was only out of my own personal nightmare for a couple of hours. Then, he had to send me back.

A small bit of anger penetrated my thoughts. The only time he's visits me is when I'm in danger. The way he checks on his kids, I might have been dead ages before he had known. But then I shove those thoughts to the side now. He's here now, and he's here to help when I need him most.

We spent the last hour or so talking about a plan of escape. For some reason, nothing good came up; no brilliant ideas came out of nowhere. Then, a tentative idea hit me. It was a fifty-fifty shot, having the ability to go either way. It was chancy, but it was all I had.

"Ren, we only have five minutes before I have to send you back. You have any ideas?"

Even with the iffy odds, I told him the plan. After tweaking it somewhat with my dad's add-ons once in a while, the plan didn't sound that bad. I guessed the success rate went up to seventy to thirty.

"Now I have to send you back Ren. I'm sorry my visit couldn't be a happier one."

I ran up to Eros, my dad, and embraced him, all qualms gone.

My eyes started to tear up. I almost started to cry. Then, I remembered my promise to myself. I would not cry. Even if I was dying. Only when I overcame this nightmare, I would let it all out. But for now, I had to be strong.

I stepped away, and stared at my father, maybe for the last time.

"Ren, if you make it out alive, I'll… grant you your dearest wish. Just something to look forward to if you live."

Now I was about to lose it and become a wreck. But then I closed my eyes, and thought about happier days.

After a couple seconds, I was ready.

"Bye dad. I'll miss you. I hope I can see you again." That sentiment had an eerie sound of finality to it, like I might not see him again."

I closed my eyes, and surrendered to the darkness once more.

ABSOUTLEY FLAWLESS PAGEBREAK

Third Person POV.

(Once again really short)

A blond head ran to the edge of the crowd, and entered the large throng. So many people were filling up the surrounding blocks, since this was the biggest and most exciting thing that happened in the area in a while. Most of the major TV stations were there, with some kind of reporter.

He jumped into the crowd, weaving silently like a snake, trying to get to the front. His sand-yellow hair bobbed up and down as he ran toward the front as fast as he could.

The teen finally made it all the way up to the front after five minutes of dodging and running. He quietly snuck in front of everyone, making his way toward the strawberry-blond teenager in the front. He listened to all the voices around him, picking up some information that placed a frown upon his face.

"I feel sorry for the poor girl…"

"That monster!"

"Poor Erene."

At that name his interest was immediately spiked.

What the hell was going on?

He finally made his way over to the strawberry-blond hair boy in the front, talking to the police officers. He tapped the other's shoulder, and the other blond turned around quickly.

For a moment, Iggy's face showed no recognition. Then his eyes widened, and a small smile appeared on his face.

"I know you! You're…"

Sorry, I think I lied. I don't think the chapter is longer. Also sorry for the cliffhanger.

After this chapter, there are two or three chapters left. It depends if I combine two chapters together.

I thank those now from the bottom of my heart who have stayed by me for my first official chapter fanfic.

By the way, if anyone is interested in my earlier story It All Started with a Pencil, PM me. I might give up the story and let someone adopt it. I'll give an idea on how the story ends and what I want to happen in the story.
