Chapter two

Max's POV

If you've ever noticed, it's a lot more relaxing to fly when your not against the wind. You probably haven't considering you probably can't fly.

Me and the gang were soaring over a city, a big city. I didn't like big cities, so I decided we should stay in the air.

That was until I looked back at angel, she was pointing down below us. Flyboys behind us, Max. We have to get down there. I'll tell everyone else. It was so weird talking to Angel like that. Suddenly, Iggy yelled, " Cannonball!". He tucked in his wings, and shot strait down, the rest of us following.

Have I mentioned that we now have a dog? Well we do. He's not your joyful looking one either. Total is a complete, absolute, 100 smart aleck. And when we were dropping, really fast, he's also not the type to shut up.

So there we are, dropping 100 feet, with a barking dog who is barking at the top of his lungs. Joy. And to make matters worse, we land in a tree. More fun.

It hurt, but I was just glad to get away from the erasers. I looked around (just instinct for me). We were next to a Wal-mart parking lot. We all folded up our wings.

Nudge was jumping up and down. "Can we go shopping?"

"No," I instantly said.

" First, we have to figure out if anybody saw us," I said, looking around. Then, I saw her. She was sanding by a red convertible, pointing, pointing at us with big eyes. She was nudging a guy's shoulder.

I was suddenly alert. This was not good. Then everything was happening at once. I felt Angel stiffen beside me, the guy turned, (finally) and Iggy and Gazzy were suddenly yelling. "Shut up," I said, kind of whispering.

I pulled Angel close. "Angel, what's going on? Can you read her mind?

Angel looked confused. "Whose mind?"

"Uh… Hers." I pointed at the girl.

She closed her eyes for a minute, concentrating. When she opened them, she had a confused look on her face. I was getting impatient.

"So?" I asked, already having a bad feeling about the situation.

"I can't hear a thing. It's like I am trying to pop a rubber band. I push so hard, then it just springs back." If you asked me, I would say she was talking nonsense. But then again, nobody asked me.

Bella's POV

I was worried.. I know I shouldn't have been. That Edward had good self control. I stood back as I watched him walk up to the maniac. Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Was that a girl? But…but she had wings! I mean, I have seen supernatural talents, but wings? Then several others dropped and landed in a tree.

Suddenly, I was panicking. I was tapping Edward's shoulder and pointing franticly. I watched as she talked to the little winged girl. Then she turned in my direction, and I could see her eyes. They were a pretty shade of brown, but it wasn't any shade I would want. They also had a fierce look in them.

Suddenly I was tapping harder, practically banging on his shoulder. He turned and looked at me. Then he followed my finger that was pointing at the bird girl and her gang. My index finger felt like it was going to snap off any minute now, because I was pointing so hard.

"She has wings. And people with her," I said in a soft voice. I knew he could still hear me.

"Can you read her mind?" I asked, still using that whisper. Right when I said that, Edward began to walk in her direction.

Suddenly I had a great deal of jealousy on my hands. I didn't like the winged girl. I tried to remember that Edward and I were married and that it didn't matter if he needed to talk to her.

So, I went with him. We walked all the way across the parking lot, to the tree that they had landed in. When we got close, but not close enough to hear, Edward said, " they have supernatural talents. Like me. They also have wings, as you can see. They have to keep secret because they don't want a bunch of people finding out.

Edward got closer and closer, me following. Then, I heard more footsteps behind me. I turned to see the Maniac following too. I didn't blame her.

When we reached the winged girl, I realized that she had five others with her. I put on a smile, and tried to pretend she was my friend. I stepped in front of Edward, and put my hand out to her.

"Hi, I'm Bella Cullen. Don't freak out, but we saw you dropping from the sky. Are you okay?" She took my hand and shook it. Her hand was strong it felt like my arm was going to pop off.

"I'm uh, Mallory," she said. I looked at Edward, sensing hesitation. He stepped forward.

"No. Your name is Max. I'm Edward. And as you can see, I can read minds. I see that your Angel can too. We mean no harm. But you owe us an explanation on what you were doing falling from the sky." Her face looked confused for a minute, but then she rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, my name is Max, this is Fang, Iggy, Nudge, uh Gasman, and Angel. We're 98 human and 2 bird, hence, the wings. We-- "Why don't we go into Wal-mart and talk this out. It's chilly out here," interrupted Maniac.
