Chapter 11: Figuring out the Truth
I stood there stunned. "You guys are related!" I said. She nodded.
"Wow that is awesome! How do you know?"
"Well, I will tell you in the morning," she said, "Good night."
"Good night," I murmured and continued to climb down the rock. I thought I would go see Fang so we could catch up. I walked in the cave and peeked in to see if Fang was still awake.
I looked in and saw Max leaning on his shoulder and Fang kissed her forehead. I took a couple steps back. I heard noise coming from their room again. I peered in and saw Fang standing up. He must have seen me, I thought.
I walked out to the mouth of the cave and stood there. I felt Fang walking up behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder. I shook it off and turned around.
I had nothing to say instead I just turned around and flew off. A tear ran down my face followed by one or two more. I knew Fang had feelings for Max and that she had feelings for him.
There was nothing I could do so I thought I would just talk to Fang and tell him everything.
I stopped and saw him following me.
"Fang-"I started but he cut me off.
"Echo, I am sorry I just feel like there is a gap between us," he said.
"Fang, listen to me, I have to tell you something," I started and he nodded, "you know Adam, well he is Ari, but I can control time so I made him stay when I changed him into a bird hybrid and I thought that if you guys didn't know that it would be okay and that now you are in love with Max and I knew it all along and now I feel so stupid and-"
Fang looked at me and I knew then I should stop then. "I am sorry," he started.
"Fang, you shouldn't be it is my fault not yours," I responded.
I flew onward. I could feel Fang's presence still there. But as he was looking at me, I vanished.
I had traveled back in time to January 1, 2010. I found myself inside a hospital wing. I walked inside the halls for a while.
I looked into the rooms I saw a women with a small child in her hands. I walked in. "Hi," I said. No one noticed me.
They can't see me. I walked around the room and saw papers. I picked them up. I looked at it.

As I read through the rest of the papers I realized this was no ordinary baby, this was me. I wonder if I wrote on a piece of paper never "never give your child away especially to a creepy company" what would happen to me I thought to myself.
But if I did I would never have known Fang or Solar or anyone else. I have to get out of here. Then I went away back to where I started, in the cave. I looked in to see if Fang had come back yet and he hadn't. I flew out to where I left him and found him in that exact spot.
"Boo," I said and I saw him flinch.
"Where did you go!" he exclaimed.
"I went back in time," I said, "and anyway why do you care"?
"Echo just because were not together doesn't mean I don't care about you," he said.
"Do you want to go somewhere?" I asked him.
"Where?" he said back.
"I was thinking prehistoric times, you?"
"Well that is not exactly what I had in mind…" he started but I cut him off.
"To bad, you don't have a choice," I grabbed onto his shirt and took him six million years into the past.
A huge bird thing swooped just over us. "Haven't you ever wondered what killed all the dinosaurs?" I asked him.
"Whatever killed them could kill us," he said.
"Not unless you can travel in time," I said and flashed to the 16th or 17th century. "Or what happened to the people on Roanoke Island," I said and flashed back to the present.
"Why did you do that?" he asked. He looked mad at me.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked him.
"Well, it is unexpecting and you are so powerful now," he said.
I nodded, "yes I guess I am."
