I actually decided to update on Sunday because of the lovely reviews. I'm really thankful, and I never really thought people would like this story. I do need to address one issue though.
Raisa ana' Marianna asked a really good question and was slightly confused about the story, sooooooo I'm going to go over a few things again.
This story comes after MAX where Fang never left and made his Gang, and Dylan was never created or showed to Max. They (the Flock on a mission that will be said later on) were battling experiments that broke out of a school branched off of Itex, and Max was separated from the Flock. She was beaten unconscious and taken to another school. There (by one of her nightmares) she saw her brother for the thousandth time. She (if you put it all together) was mutated into a wolf with her same colored wings. Her transformation back into herself will be either in the next chapter or a few later on. She ended up escaping (or being freed…) the school and making it all the way to the Flock's neighborhood. Max's attitude has changed, and it has been expressed by not wanting to be around groups of people and hiding behind Kate.
Now to help you out with the Flock's life :D Okay. After the Flock lost Max in the battle, they ended up getting a house (that will be explained later in the story). They've been living well with a few members they picked up along the way. (Aka Star, Kate, Ratchet, and Holden {and if course this will also be explained later}) Although they have been living well, they still live a –sadish- life without the one they do love. It was by luck that Angel wanted to go for a walk, and they ended up seeing a mutated Max at the park. -BUT- they don't know it is Max (except for Fang who kinda guessed). They took it home so 1) the police won't be involved and 2) they had a sort of pull to her. Their attitudes have changed a bit do to little contact.
If you have any questions about this story, feel free to ask. Okay *claps hands* Done! I'm sorry if this story is confusing :/
Thank you Raisa ana' Marianna, crazyabouttylee (for reviewing twice), and Dragonfire Alchemist!
Chapter Five: Breakfast and Names
-Creature P.o.v. (Surprisingly)-
They all were seated at a large table branched off of the kitchen. Right when my paw hit the wooden floors their eyes lit up a tiny bit and focused on me. It was strange to see these people so carefree and happy. For a second I almost believed that I was sitting in the main chair where everyone could see me.
"Looks like you're awake," the tall dark-haired boy whispered, nudging the small blonde girl. She smiled and held out her hand.
"I'm Angel," she whispered, waiting for me to do something. She looked kind like Kate, so I nuzzled her hand and she laughed a soft carefree laugh. "Your nose is wet."
'That's what happens to a dog's nose,' I thought, tapping my left wing against her hand. She gasped and locked eyes with me,
"What's wrong, Angel?" the dark-haired boy asked, startling the other kids at the table. Kate and the strawberry-blonde looked up from their work on breakfast.
"It's nothing, Fang. I just picked up her thoughts. It was weird… It's like she can really understand us."
"Of course she can. She's a mutant like us. I'm sure they gave her some sort of human like trait," the strawberry-blonde snapped, continuing breakfast. Angel glared before petting my head and sighing.
"I know that, Iggy… It's just that some mutants don't even know anything. She responded through mind connections." My nose wrinkled at the thought. Did some of the other mutants I was with not know how to speak or understand one other? Am I not smart at all?
"I think you guys should all introduce yourselves. Then she won't have to be confused when we say each other's name," Kate suggested, pouring pancake mix onto the griddle. She smiled at me before handing Iggy something.
"All righty then… I'm Angel," the littlest girl said, pointing to herself, "but you already know that. That's Fang, Iggy, and Kate," she also pointed out. Kate waved, the strawberry-blonde smiled, and the dark-haired boy went back to looking at something on his laptop. I growled softly, showing Angel that I understood. She smiled and told the others to introduce themselves.
"My name's Gazzy," the youngest boy exclaimed, holding up a small object in his hand.
"Holden," the second youngest whispered, watching me shyly.
"I'm Ratchet," a boy with sunglasses and earphones said, pulling his sunglasses down a tad.
"Star," the blonde girl sighed, going back to reading a magazine with the dark-skinned girl.
"I'm Nudge. There's a reason I'm named nudge 'cause I talk a lot, and people have to nudge me to quiet down. And sometimes I ramble on and on and on and on and on about things. We can be good friends though 'cause your fur is really pretty and it looks like our old lead-" she was cut off by a hand to the mouth. It was Iggy.
"You don't want to scare her away now do you," he laughed, placing the delicious smelling pancakes on the table. Nudge shook her head quickly, eyes widening a bit. Everyone else laughed before serving themselves food. All of the sudden a set of paws hitting wood could be heard.
"Here comes Total," Angel said through a mouthful of pancakes. She looked like a hamster with their cheeks puffed out.
Fang sighed before a little, black terrier came skidding into the kitchen exclaiming, "Did I miss food!?" Angel and Gazzy laughed while Holden cracked a smile at the dog's antics. The Total looked at me through pieces of black fur covering his eyes.
"You're that thing in the park that had a weird scent," he stated, getting really close to my muzzle. I backed off a bit, watching his every move. Total seemed really interested in me because he kept following me.
"Total, leave her alone. She needs space, dog." Iggy sighed, nudging the dog with his foot before bending down and placing two bowls of meat in front of me and Total. "Eat up. Then you can tell Angel some things about you through a brain connection." I nodded before taking a cautious bite. I could never really trust the food scientists gave out.
"Hey," Angel spoke up from the table as Iggy and Kate seated themselves, "don't worry about the food. Kate and Iggy didn't do anything to it."
I nodded again, thinking about how kind they were. Maybe I didn't need to be so guarded around them. Maybe they were the people in my dreams. The caring people with wings.
Okay… This is just a filler-ish chapter to get Max up to speed. The next chapter will answer a few more questions. I'm beat, and I really don't want to go to school tomorrow…
