SitaTheLastVampire: thanks for reviewing.

Kelzaa: thanks for reviewing. Amery's gonna meet him in the next few chapters. a few more things have to happen first.

A/N: here's the next chapter.

Several weeks had passed since that night at Crash. Amery had since taken Cindy up on her offer and moved in with her. She was actually heading there now. Amery turned down an alley and found herself surrounded by a group of Familiars. This should be fun. Amery thought with a smirk. She threw a punch, which connected with the Familiar standing directly in front of her, that knocked him out. She did a back kick hitting the Familiar behind her and knocking him to the ground. She knocked out the rest of the Familiars. She was a lot like her mother in the fact that she didn't like killing unless she had too. Amery turned around to see the last remaining Familiar getting to his feet. She wasted no time, she threw a powerful punch that knocked him out instandly.

Max stepped out of the shadows. "Amery, why didn't you tell me?"

Amery froze. She wasn't supposed to see that. Damn it. Amery thought. She slowly turned around. "I wasn't sure you were a transgenic." Amery lied and hoped she bought it.

Thankfully for Amery she did. "Come on." Max said gesturing for Amery to follow her. Max did think it was a little odd that Amery didn't know that she was a transgenic but she had this strange need to protect her which made Max trust her even more.

Amery stepped over the unconscious Familiars and followed Max. Max led her to Terminal City. They snuck under the fence. Max led Amery up to TC headquarters. "Guys, I want you to meet somebody." Max said. They all looked up. "Guys, this is Amery." Max said to them. "Amery this is Dix, Luke, Mole, Joshua, and you already know Alec." Max said to Amery as she pointed each of them out.

"Nice to meet you Amery." Joshua said.

"Same here Joshua." Amery said. She'd always liked him.

"Uh Max can I talk to you?" Alec asked.

"Sure." Max said and the two walked out into the hall.

"Max are you crazy? What's she doing here?" Alec asked.

"Alec it's ok. She's one of us."

"Really? Does she have a barricode?" Alec asked.

"No, I don't know, but I just saw her take out a group of Familiars and she barely broke a sweat. So I think if she was the enemy she wouldn't have done that and they wouldn't have attacked her. Even if she doesn't have a barricode, she probably had it removed. Besides I trust her Alec." Max said.

"Ok I guess you have a point." Alec said.

They walked back into the room. "Come on, Amery. Lets see if we can find you a place to stay." Max said leading Amery out of the room.

"But I'm already living with Cindy." Amery said.

"Well then you can have a place here too."

"Ok." Amery said.

"Good then, it's settled."

"What was it that Alec wanted to talk to you about? If you don't mind me asking." Amery asked. Although she already knew since she'd inherited her mother's good hearing.

"Nah I don't mind. He was just worried that's all."

"Oh." Amery said.

A/N: I know I said this would be longer. I'm sorry. It's all my muse would give me.oh and for anyone thats reading Prophesied i've updated that too.
