Chapter 10
Max POV
After Edward left I ran up stairs. I put on a pair of jeans that got ripped in an Eraser fight. They were my favorite pair of jeans until that Eraser ripped them trying to grab me. Oh well can't fix them now. I put on my jacket that my mom had custom made for the flock. It was black and on the front it said 'Got wings?' with an arrow pointing to the back in white. On the back there were slits so my wings could come out. I stuffed my pockets with candy just in case. I put my converses on and walked outside to my motorcycle. I decided not to take my motorcycle. I'll just fly because it looks like it might rain. I toke off into the air. I had a feeling that I was gonna regret telling them my secret.
Edward POV
I ran home as fast as I could. I couldn't believe what happened today. I kissed Max. I'm too excited over a little kiss. And I was right about her secret. I'm on a roll.
I ran inside the house. Emmett and Jasper were playing Guitar Hero, Rosalie was painting her nails, Esme was reading, and Carlisle was in his office.
"Everyone come here I've got news and it's about Max" I said. In seconds everyone was in front of me
"What's the news?" Carlisle asked everyone's eyes were wide with curiosity
"I know her secret" I said "But I can't tell you"
"Why not?" Emmett asked
"Because if I told you, you wouldn't believe me" I said "She coming over anyway"
"That's not fair" Emmett said
"Well to bad she's coming over to tell you" I said walking to my piano "She should be here any minute"
Then there was a knock at the door.
Max POV
I knocked on the door. Usually Carlisle opened the door before I could knock but I guess he was busy. Edward opened the door.
"Hi Max come in" he said letting me through "Nice jacket"
"Thanks my mom had it custom made" I said walking into the living room with him
"Hi Max" I heard Emmett say
"Hi Emmett" I said smiling
"Did you get attacked by a lawnmower on your way here?" he asked looking at my jeans
"No I was in a fight with a wolf/human thing a few years back" I said and looked at my jeans "They're beyond repairable now"
"You got attacked by a werewolf?" Carlisle asked
"I wouldn't say werewolf" I said
"What would you call it" he asked
"Like 90%-" I said before Edward put his hand over my mouth. What the hell. I did the only thing that would make him move his hand. I licked it. And of course he pulled his hand away like the sissy he is.
"That's disgusting Max" he said
"You had it coming." Me and Emmett said at the same time.
"It would have made no since to them" he said wiping his hand on his pants
"Wait Edward you didn't tell them the secret?"
"They wouldn't believe me if I told them" Edward said "You can show them"
"Fine lets go outside. I might knock something over in here" I said walking toward the door.
I walked about 20 feet from the house. Everybody but Edward looked at me with curious eyes. I hate doing this. I'm nothing but eye candy
"Don't go into a deep state of shock because it never ends well" I said. They all nodded. Edward rolled his eyes. He knows he was surprised. I unfolded my wings.
"That. Is. The. Coolest. Thing. I've. Ever. Seen!" Emmett said with wide eyes. I smiled.
"They're beautiful Max" Esme said
"How is that possible" I heard Carlisle ask.
"I was genetically engineered by a group of crazy science geeks and nerds. I'm 2% bird" I said
"Genetic engineering. I've heard of it but I never thought it was possible" he said
"Well I'm all the proof you need" I said
"May I?" he asked taking a step forward and extending his hand
"Uh sure" I said.
I wish they didn't have such cold hands. I mean I'm use to the cold but they're ridiculous. Carlisle is the only doctor I would let touch my wings even if he did act like a scientist sometimes. I could tell he was very interested in me and that always makes me feel happy. Then my stomach started growling. I heard Edward snicker. I turned toward him. He had a stupid grin on his face.
"What are you smiling about" I asked taking a lollipop out of my pocket and sticking it in my mouth. I it only made his smile wider "Am I not aloud to be hungry"
"Not when you eat a tub of ice cream" he said
"That was the only thing I ate today" I said
"I could tell" he said
"Whatever" I said rolling my eyes
"Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" Esme asked
"No you don't have to. I'm fine" I said. She's too sweet.
"Okay. Tell me if you change your mind" she said
"So Max you up for some friendly composition?" Emmett asked
"Like what?" I asked
"You, me, and Guitar Hero" he said grinning
"Which one?"
"Legends of Rock"
"I'm in" I said. I folded in my wings and followed Emmett inside.
After 10 minutes of rockin' out on fake guitars Alice came back from the mall.
"Where's Ella?" I asked
"I dropped her off at your house. She said she had a lot of homework." Alice said
"I should be heading home myself anyway" I said looking toward the already set sun "I hate leaving her by herself"
"You need a ride home?"Edward asked. Silly vampire.
"No I have wings remember but thanks" I said and started walking towards the door but I was stopped my Edward grabbing my hand. This happens every time I come here.
"Hey can I come to San Diego with you and Ella? We had a deal" he said
"Oh yeah. I did say that didn't I? I'll have to ask Nino tomorrow"
"You can't go even if he says yes Edward!" Rosalie said "San Diego is one the sunniest places in the U.S. What would happen if you sparkle in front of him?"
Edward was about to say something but I cut him off. "He'd probably burst out laughing like I did. He's not a stupid human. He's handled talking dogs and kids with wings. He can add sparkling people on that list"
She was taking by surprise when I said that. The old max is coming out.
"In that case, I want to come!" Emmett said. That got him a glare from his girlfriend. It was kind of funny.
"Sure you can come" I said not caring "Anyone else?"
"I'm coming" Alice chimed.
"Me too" Jasper said right after. He's so whipped.
"Okay it will be like a mini vacation. Anyone else? Rosalie?" I asked her I just wanted to see her to ask me.
"No. I have nothing to ask you" she said and turned away. It made me smirk a little bit.
"Sure whatever. I'll see you guys later" I said and turned and walked out the house.
I heard 7 pairs of feet follow me. They probably wanted to see me fly. I toke a running start and jumped in the air. I unfurled my wings. I heard 6 gasps behind me as I started to get higher. I looked back at them. They were all stunned except Edward who hand a crooked grin on his face. I rolled my eyes and waved goodbye as I flew away.
