Max POV
We were about to go inside when another woman came out of the house and glared at Liz. She glanced at us yelled in frustration and then stormed off. "What was that about?" before Liz could answer a man appeared in the doorway "Zanna, please come back and just listen to what I have to say" the woman, Zanna turned around and gave him a death glare that could compete with mine easily "no. I'm not just going to come back and fall all over you again you LEFT David! You were gone for five goddamn years off with your Fain buddies while I made a living for myself and raised Alexa on my own without any help from you, just go back for all I care." the guy, who I assume is David dropped his shoulders sighed and looked at Liz for help. Liz just raised her hands and backed away. David put his head in his hands "I'm not fighting you Zanna, not right now" Zanna rolled her eyes and walked off with her jaw clenched.
David seemed to notice us for the first time, he looked meaningfully at Liz. "They're going to stay with us for a while" David smiled "Liz, you don't have any more places to put people Zanna and Alexa share my old room and I sleep on the couch…" he chuckled. I rolled my eyes, "It's fine we'll find somewhere else to sleep" Liz sighed "no, you won't, do you mind sleeping on the living room floor? I could put down some bedding and there's a lot of room if I just move the coffee table to the side" I shrugged "sounds good" Liz smiled "alright whose up for tea" she walked inside and we all followed her.
Two minutes later me Liz Alexa David Gazzy Iggy Dylan Nudge and Angel were seated around Their kitchen table drinking tea, I was the only one who seemed to find it bad so I kept quiet. David gave a sad smile that reminded me a lot of Jeb, "So where are you kids from?" he asked, not directing the question at anyone inparticular, but he also asked it as if he already knew the answer, another Jeb quality. "oh uh um… Colorado" before he could say anything a middleaged man with glasses and proffesor clothes walked into the room "I'm home!" his expression turned to confusion quikly "already?" he muttered to himself. A girl about my age walked in behind him rolling her eyes, but she stopped in her tracks when she saw me "y-y-y-y-y-y-you…" she couldn't finish her sentence apparently because she didn't evan try to say anything else, just stood there staring at me with her mouth open. I examined my nails "don't you think staring is a little rude? Besides, with your mouth open like that you're bound to catch flies" she composed herself "Who are you." she didn't ask me this she sort of stated it, although I could tell she wanted to know "I could ask the same thing to you" she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms "yeah but You didn't find Me sitting at your kitchen table" I nodded and shrugged "True, I'm Max and this is my family and that's all you need to know." she cocked her hip "no, it isn't, (1. If you're a family where are your parents (2. Did you die your hair red? (3. What are you doing in my house" I decieded I shouldn't punch her so I answered her questions "(1. Noyb (2. What the hell my hair's brown and (3. Your mom invited us" matching her cocky tone I smirked. The girl now looked genuinely confused "no, it's red" she said "yes it's red, god Max when was the last time you looked in a mirror" Iggy confirmed "um I don't think since f-" nudge interrupted me "jeez, talk about letting yourself go Max seriously…I figured you died it that color but I geuss not red doesn't sound much like you anyway so I should have known but I didn't pay it much thou-" She was cut off by Iggys hand over her mouth. I can't believe I just realized I hadn't looked in a mirror in two years. Whatever, not the time for past dwelling, I'd cry my eyes out later. Right now was time for answers. "Alright what do you guys know about Itex the school the institute or, Jeb Batcheldor." professor dude spoke up "yes, Jeb was my one of my best friends in college and after he earned his degree in genetics I believe it was, he went to work for the institute of higher living." yes! "How long ago was that" he looked like he was concentrating "about 30 years ago" WHAT! "I KNEW IT! He was lying this whole time, he was with them from the beginning! Ohhhh he is sooooooo dead I'm gunna kill him in his sleep, shoot him in th-" I was interrupted by professor dude " MAXIMUM! You will NOT kill your father" Grrrr "that no good traitorus piece of shmmhmhmhmmaphagad" Iggy clamped his hand over my mouth To prevent a very long string of swear words. I grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand off my mouth "sooooo voice nice to finally meet you" Arthur sighed Liz David and the red head looked very confused. "Maximum, things are changing, you will discover things about the world you never would have imagined, you must be prepared, and I'm trying to help, believe me but if you want you and your flock, and Fang, to survive you need to listen" david stiffened at the mention of Fang setting alarms off in my head but he rightened himself so quickly I must have imagined it. "Okay, what's going on here?" Liz asked (fairly loudly to) I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Fine but it's a long story, okay so my flock and I grew up in a science lab we call the school in death vally California, where a bunch of mad scientists did genetic recombination expiriments, on humans. So eventually me iggy Fang Nudge Gazzy and Angel were rescused 6 years ago by one of the "good" scientists named, as this guy said, Jeb Batchledor. Well then it turns out Jeb wasn't actually a good guy because two years after he rescued us he disappeared and showed up working for the school again when we were recaptured 2 years later, I got us out this time and we've been on the run ever since. There's the short version and don't ask me too give you the long one because I won't" I looked around at the people in the kitchen, the flock was expressionless, Lucy looked confused, Liz looked upset, Arthur and Davids faces remained casual thoughout the entire thing. David nodded. "umm… yeah, but where does Arther tie into this?" "oh, him, yeah, proffessor dude happens to be the voice in my head." "huh?" came from both Liz and Lucy "yeah, we all think shes gone insane" Iggy answered with a grin, unfortunately for him, he was sitting next too me and got hit in the head, hard too. "shut up I'm perfectly fine." I left no room for argument this time. "again, huh?" I rolled my eyes "wow your dumb, I have a voice in my head, I don't know how, I don't know why, but there just is, it tells me what to do sometimes helps me out and gives out sayings from fortune cookies" I turned to Arthor "your really annoying you know" I commented to him
As entertaining as this is, you havn't quite guessed yet.
Said voice choose to speak up and David winked at me from across the table, I glared at him, thinking it was something on the lines flirting, untill it hit me
YOU TOO! Wait, how have I had three voices in my head and not had any idea?
Actually, there's only one, That would be me, Arther intervines when I don't have time, as does bonnington.
David nodded towards the cat on 'Arthers' lap wait, the vioce in my head is a cat?
A cat with and alien being inside it.
Oh…and I though my life was strange…
Don't worry, it still is, and it's about to get stranger
So are you going to explain everything now?
Ha ha, you wish
Yes, I do, very much
What are you guys exactally? And why did that girl look surprised to see Max?
Angels voice interrupted as she spoke to the voice or "David" through my mind
Lucy POV
That girl was so rude, I couldn't believe it, she had the nerve to call me stupid, I would have come up with some scathing remark to tear her down if I wasn't practically in shock/just plain weirded out. I mean, they have wings! And were raised in a science lab? AND she had a voice in her head? I'd never encountered anything like that before, although I shouldn't have been surprised, I lived in a house full of dragon alien cats and well, whatever David was… any way, she also had red hair and green eyes, which meant she was probably one of my sisters, decendant of Quenivire that is.
The girl and David stared at each other for a bit, her changing expressions once in a while while David kept up his calm slightly amused one. Leaving me to geuss cluelessly at what the heck was going on.

Any who, Im ecstatic, as I got put on someones auther alert AND I got a review, this has inspired me to actually start updating
