MAX P.O.V

Our plan was relatively simple.

Oh, you think I'm going to explain it to you?

Oh no. I have no idea whose hands this might fall into. Call me paranoid, but it's a pretty kick-ass plan and we may use it again.

Anyway, 29 and I found ourselves in the School's "courtyard". It was quite pathetic, actually. It was a way for the whitecoats to "get back to nature" though for a living they tampered with human and animals DNA, plus all the plants were fake. I hardly believe synthetic trees are "natural".

But I had very little time to dwell. 29 shot me a look. After knowing her for merely two days, her looks' meanings were becoming more and more obvious. Perhaps it was the fact that we're both 14 year old female bird hybrids. Something like that.

I hooked her two arms around my waist, and she gripped her wrists tightly. Just as soon as we had assumed this positions, we heard three doors on either side of us snap open. I wasted no time and snapped out my wings, thrusting myself into superspeed. I knew I was risking a lot, going into overdrive without any sort of headstart, but I hardly had had a choice.

Suddenly, I heard a shot crack out from behind us. I froze, but 29 urged me with a simple "Missed!" I picked up my pace again. Once we got about 100 miles away, I glided down. It had been less than 2 minutes, and it would take quite a while for the Erasers to find them. I landed in a grassy knoll, and 29 released her grip. We stood for a moment, both lost in our own thoughts. Surprisingly, she spoke first.

"Thanks." It was simple. Straight to it, no beating around the bush. I like this girl.

"No problem. It was your plan, anyway." There was another smile, before I gestured for her to sit.

"I just think you should know, before we arrive, about my….ahem…family." I proceded to tell her in great detail about every Flock member. I realized I had been talking about Fang for quite some time, so I quickly shut up.

"Shall we?" She nodded, and, synchronized, we both snapped out our wings.

I had compared her wings to Fang's. But they were even blacker when they weren't under the lights of the School. Hers gleamed, but not with that purple hue that Fang's had.

When he was flying, his wings in just the right light…any artist would kill to capture one of those moments. He was truly beautiful… I felt a smile cross my lips, until it froze.

Woah. No… Fang, beautiful? Where the hell had that come from? I quickly pushed Fang to the back of my mind, and instead focused on 29.

She had begun to soar, flipping through the air with more grace than any dancer. Her raven hair whipped behind her. Her eyes..well, they were still emotionless and cold. But something new had been woken…something….alive.

She did a few more tricks, truly showing off her expertise. Hey, as long as she's on our side.

Objective P.O.V

The flock all showed signs of nervousness. Nudge was silent, ( a sure sign something was amiss), Angel was fingering her curls, Gazzy refused to eat, ( a definite first), and Iggy hadn't made any jokes since they had hatched the plan. And Fang? Well…he looked like he always did. Cool, quiet, together, and alert. But he was quite the opposite on the inside.

Fang POV

Oh Jesus. This plan is awful. Horribly thought out, so many details had been disregarded, and therefore most likely it will be poorly executed… Oh Max, why have I failed you? The younger kids need you as a mother, Iggy needs a sister, and I need….Okay, screw the family analogy.But that doesn't change anything. This plan is most definitely going to result in one of us back at the school.

I just hope that it's me.

Max POV

I don't know quite how it had happened. But somehow, something deep within my subconscious had begun to lead me to my family.

Okay, where a certain member of my family was. I chose to ignore the implications, and landed swiftly on the ledge of the cave I knew that he—they, I amended silently—were.

Fang POV

Suddenly, I felt it. I won't even try to explain it because I barely can justify it in my mind. But she was free. Max was free and she was near.

I whipped my head around, purely on impulse, and like a dream, she landed, her tawny wings outstretched. My breath caught in my throat, and I dared no blink for fear she would disappear.

Angel POV

I dunno how it happened, but as I was going over my portion of the plan, Max seriously appeared on the ledge. My mind had been so focused on my job that I hadn't noticed her mind approaching. I nearly cried, as all of us flung ourselves at her, Iggy included. Well…you guessed it. Fang didn't. But I swear to God, Fang smiled. And that shows more emotion than all of our hugs and kisses combined.

Max POV

After the younger kids and Iggy had finished with their hugs, I finally extricated them from me. I swear, if it had been a scene in a movie it couldn't have been more dramatic. We turned towards eachother, and our gazes locked. Neither of us moved, neither of us breathed. But in that split second, so much happened I can't even describe it.

But, like all other things in my life, the blissful moment was cruelly shattered.

"Guys, hate to ruin this. I've got another prescence. And it's black. Jet black."

Just think about this: The amount of time it will take you to review is nothing compared to how long I've been writing this story...first in my head, then my notebook, then the computer, then editing, etc...
Review!
