Angel Child
Chapter 20: Ella Martinez
Fang's POV
Valencia turned of the engine and pressed the remote of garage door. I opened the side door and Angel jumped off my lap and flapped her little wings to support her land.
I climbed out cautiously. I hated new surroundings. Maybe this was what it was like for a bird changing habitats. Maybe it a bird thing.
Gazzy and Iggy climbed out of the other side of the car. Gazzy and Angel collected some of the bags and Valencia began to collect the rest. I lifted up Max. She shifted again. Her eyes fluttered slightly before relaxing.
"It's ok Max," I whispered into ear. "Where just at Valencia's house. Go back to sleep."
She gave a small nod before resting her head on my shoulder. I lifted her out of the car gently.
"Mum! Your home…"
My head snapped up to a young girl at the garage doorway. I could tell at first sight that she was Valencia's daughter. She had the same brown curly hair and the same brown eyes. Though she had more of a natural tan on her skin, unlike her mother who was very pale. She looked just about Iggy's age.
The girl scanned around at us, her mouth open. I guess it must have been a big surprise when your mum comes home with a bunch of kids. Not to mention, two were completely unconscious.
Valencia walked over to her daughter with Max's and my bags over her shoulder. "It's ok Ella; I will tell you everything when we get inside. Go and boil some water for pasta."
Ella turned around and slowly walked back into the house. I followed Valencia, stepping into a small hallway. We turned left and entered what seemed to be the family room.
(Picture on Profile. Kind of hard to explain)
The room was long and quite large. It was defiantly not meant for 2 people, more like 5 or 6. A small staircase leads up to an indoor like balcony, which I expected lead to some bedrooms. Most of the floor, including the stairs, was cream carpet, but the kitchen was white tiles. In the family room a small log fire was burning and two leather double seated couches situated around it. There seemed to be almost too much room.
Valencia gave the bags to Ella. "Go show Fang to the guest room and Iggy to your bedroom," She said gently pointing to each of us.
"Weird names," Ella muttered, low enough that her mother couldn't hear.
"I guess," Iggy muttered back. Ella raised an eyebrow at Iggy, but amazingly enough, she didn't say anything. She took the bags her mother gave her and began to walk up the stairs.
"The guest room is over there, I'll show you too my bedroom," she said pointing to one of the closed doors. I nodded and walked over to where she had pointed and opened the door. I flicked the light on.
The room was simple and neat, like the rest of the house. The room was mainly taken up by a double bed and two bedside tables either side. A built in cupboard was on the same wall as the door and a large window took up most of the opposite side of the wall. It was covered by cream blinds.
I gently laid Max down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. She shifted and her eyes fluttered. I knelt down beside her and brushed her hair.
"It's ok Max, where at Valencia's house now," I whispered to her gently.
Max opened her eyes slightly for a few seconds before closing them again and sighing. "Everybody ok?" she barely whispered.
I smiled slightly. Max was a fighter. "Everybody's fine. Nudge has had her operation. You have had the ultra sound and our child is fine. Please, please, can you listen to me for once and go to sleep."
Max hesitated, and then gave a small sigh. "I love you," she whispered weakly.
"I love you too," I said gently, kissing her on the forehead.
I watched her fall asleep, holding her hand. I could feel her hand relax as she fell asleep.
I felt a presence behind me. I turned slightly, noticing Iggy leaning against the wall, his blank eyes gazing in my direction. I sighed, signaling to him that I had noticed him. Iggy smiled slight.
"Come on Fang. Valencia needs to talk to us and to Ella. She wants you to explain things," he said in a tried yet serious voice.
I growled slightly. Iggy held his hands up in surrender. "Not my choice, not my choice," he whispered walking off.
I stood up, looking at Max. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. Great. Explaining things. Exactly what I like to do.
I walked out of the room slowly, closing the door behind me. Iggy was waiting for me in the hallway. I sighed and ran my hand though my hair.
Man I hated explaining things.
Line break----------------------------------------------------------
"So, your genetically modified experiments, who have wings. You have these half wolf things coming after you. Your girlfriend is pregnant…"
Fiancée.
"… and you have these really cool special powers that make you do cool stuff."
I shrugged. "I guess you could put it that way."
Ella seemed to freeze for a second or two, before she sat back in her chair. "Wow."
Valencia seemed uneasy about her daughter's calm reaction. "Are you ok about this Ella? I mean, they may be staying here for quite a while. You will probably have to sleep with me."
Ella nodded. "I don't mind." She paused. "Will I still have to go to school?"
I sensed Iggy, Gazzy and Angel tense up by the mention of school. I had to admit, I was feeling uneasy too.
Valencia narrowed her eyes. "Just because you have guests doesn't mean you can skip school. But you can't say anything to any one. One word and we could all be dead."
Ella slumped. "Fine."
Valencia gazed at me. Her expression very uneasy. "I was wondering… maybe you kids would… um… like to attend…"
"No."
First I thought it was me. But when my ears had finally separated the distinct voices, I worked out it was all of us. Gazzy, Angel, Iggy and I had said it all at once.
There was absolutely no chance I was going to school. Not while my sister and my Fiancée were here alone. Or even with humans. Not that Valencia was bad, just the fact that if Erasers came for us, Valencia would be able to do nothing to stop them.
Valencia didn't seem too startled. I noticed there was a glint her eye that looked like she was about to argue, but it vanished quickly.
Iggy nudged me gently in the ribs. I looked at him. I watched his mouth move. "Tell them about the tracker," he said without a sound.
I nodded looking back at Valencia and Ella's curious faces. "There is something we need to show you."
Valencia thorough her hands in the air. "More secrets! Fang you need to stop hiding things. We are not your enemy."
If I wasn't in the mood I was In I would have rolled my eyes. "We only found this out today." I fished the tracker out of my pocket. "Take a look at this."
I switched the tracker on and slid it across the table in front of Valencia. I watched her pick it up, Ella curiously looking over her mothers shoulder. I sat back in the chair and watched them as they studied the dreadful thing.
"It's a tracker," Valencia said quickly. She looked up at me as if to confirm it and I nodded my head. She continued. "Very high technology. I have never seen anything like this before." She tapped on the screen. Ella jumped.
"That's Angel!" she shouted triumphantly. I knew instantly that they had Angel's experiment fact file on the screen.
Valencia looked up at me again. I could tell in her eyes that she knew this was very, very bad. She placed the tracker gently on the table. "You know this means that you could possibly have chips in you."
I nodded. "I was thinking you could get them out."
Valencia nodded slowly. "Possibly. But you will all need an x-ray first." She paused for a second. "This isn't good. You can't go off alone any more. If they have chips in you, it is possible that Itex could have a dozen or more of these trackers recording everything. That means Erasers know exactly where you go and what you do. They could come any second from any angle…."
That's when we heard Nudge's ear blowing scream.
