Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own any of James Patterson's character's or plot, or any of that other stuff.

A/N : This is a long chapter to make up for the last really short chapter.

I sighed. Everyone had stopped crying, and Iggy had stopped glaring at me evilly. But everyone was still sad, I could see it in their eyes. I wondered where Fang- I heard a rustle of papers. I looked around the room, no one was there. Iggy was listening too.

"Is that..." Iggy whispered.

"Max." I heard a soft, low voice whisper. It was Fang.

"Where are you?" I whispered loudly. He sounded close, but I couldn't see him. I felt something touch my arm.

"I'm right in front of you." And like magic, Fang appeared in front of my cage.

"Wow." He said. Uh, yeah, wow. Was Fang just invisible? What the-

"Hello? Blind guy here." Iggy said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Well, um... I think Fang was invisible." I tried to explain to him.

"...Huh?" Was Iggy's response.

"I'll tell you later, Ig." Fang said, still whispering. "You guys gotta get out of here."

"No, really?" I said sarcastically. He slapped me.

"Oh my gosh, it's Fang!" Nudge screamed. Fang somehow disappeared again. White coats came rushing into the room. They looked around the room, then at Nudge, wrote some things down, and left the room. Fang became visible again.

"Uh, what just happened?" Nudge asked, sounding really confused.

"That doesn't matter, what matters is that you guys get out of here." Fang said. He eyed Demon and Pity, mostly Demon though. I didn't know what to do, so I nodded, signaling that we could trust them. He nodded back, but he still looked suspicious. He silently unlatched my crate, and we freed everyone else. Angel gave Fang a big hug. He hugged her back, then turned to look at us.

"So how are we supposed to get out of here?" Fang said. Gosh, he was talkative today. We shrugged. Iggy looked at me hopefully.

"Oh, what the heck. Sure."

"Yes!" Iggy and the Gasman slapped high fives. Demon and Pity looked sort of confused. They didn't know what we were talking about. This would be funny. Iggy walked over to a wall and placed a small package next to it. Beep beep beep...

"Duck!" I yelled, and everyone took cover under a table, or desk, whatever they could find. Boom! Big pieces of wall and ceiling flew everywhere. When we thought it was safe, we came out. Erasers and white coats flooded the room.

"Fly!" I screamed, and I snapped out my wings, flying through the hole in the wall that the bomb had made. The flock followed me. I shot into the sky, loving the air rushing past me. I was tempted to fly fast, but I didn't want to lose the flock. We landed on the edge of a cliff, which had a cave near by.

"Oh, hey, Fang. This is Demon and Pity, they have wings too!" Nudge said. " Oh yeah, they're your -" I covered her mouth with my hand.

"New friends." I finished for her. I wanted Fang to get to know them before he found out the truth. Fang looked at me questioningly, but I avoided his gaze. Not yet. I thought.

"Yeah, so, get to know each other and stuff." I said, sounding very awkward.

"Hi," Demon extended his hand to Fang. "I'm Demon." Fang shook his hand.

"Fang." He said, showing no emotion on his face. I wondered if he had noticed that he and Demon looked almost exactly alike. Angel gave me a small nod. She read my mind, Fang's too. Fang had noticed that they looked alike, but did he know they were brothers? Angel gave me another nod. I couldn't believe that Fang wasn't crying, or hugging Demon and stuff. But then again, that wouldn't be Fang.

"Why doesn't somebody say something?" Fang, Demon, Angel and I jumped. Nudge was staring at everyone expectantly.

"Uh, hi?" Gazzy said, trying to break the silence.

"This is useless." Nudge said, and she went back to the cave. I smiled. Poor Nudge, she hated silence. I realized that it was getting dark, so I had everyone go into the cave, and we stacked fists. Well, the six of us stacked fists, Demon and Pity just watched. They'd learn. Nudge, Angel, Gazzy and Pity all slept next to each other in the center of the cave while Demon, Iggy, Fang and I just looked at each other. Well, not so much Iggy.

"So.." Iggy said, trying to start a conversation.

"Well," I said, contributing to the conversation.

"Yeah" Iggy said.

"Uh huh." I said back.

Fang and Demon looked at us like we were total idiots. Hey, maybe we were. Iggy and I burst out laughing.

"Ok, if no one's saying anything about Fang having a brother, I guess I'll talk." Iggy said. Fang and Demon looked at each other.

Demoncleared his throat.Fang looked at him. Now that I saw them next to each other, they looked even more alike. Same hair, same eyes, same skin color...

"Well I can see that this conversion is going nowhere." Iggy said. "See you in the morning." He walked back into the cave. Demon looked at us, then slowly followed Iggy to the cave. I waited until they were out of sight and said,

"So, you've got yourself a brother."

"Looks like it," Fang replied, still showing no emotion on his face.

"A sister too." I said. Fang's eyes widened a fraction of an inch; Fang'sversion of total shock.

"Huh?" He said.

"Pity, she's your sister." I thought that he would have figured that out by now.

"So, now I've got two siblings.." Fang said. It seemed impossible that Fang could have siblings.

"Lucky you. They're nice too." I smiled at my rhyme. "I've only got Ari, an eraser who wants to rip my throat out." Fang grinned.

"So, if we find your parents, they'll sure be happy." I said. Fang's smile faded.

"I thought we weren't looking for our parents anymore." Fang said. "I mean, look what happened to Iggy."I had completely forgotten about that. The whole flock had been miserable without him. It would be devastating if Fang left us, I mean, he did so much for us. Fang was strong when I couldn't be, he was Iggy's best friend and guide, he was second in command, making decisions when I couldn't. He was Gazzy and Angel's big brother; all of our big brother. He was Nudge's role model(except for, you know, the not talking part), and he had saved my life more times than I could count. I don't know how we would get by if Fang left.

"I wouldn't want you guys to go through that, and plus, Iggy's parents told people about his wings." Fang said in his low, soft voice. He walked to a dark corner of the cave and lied down. " I'd miss you." I heard him say.

"I'd miss you too." I said softly, and lied down on the floor and fell asleep.
