Max's POV
I know Fang likes redheads and Dylan is a redhead. I have a to do a Q & A with her, which means I have some Q's for her sorry A. (A/N I got that from Big Bang Theory) The only reason I let her stay with me and Ella is because Fang told me to be nice so I guess I will for a little while. The truth is I hate her. Just in general. But where did she come from, did she have parents, and how long did Itex have her?
"Mom?"
"Yes, Max?" She was washing dishes in the yellow-tan kitchen.
"Have you heard from Jeb lately?" Not that I was mildly concerned…
"About that…" She was hiding something.
"Is he…dead?" She wearily nodded. "Oh my Gosh. How am I going to tell the flock?"
"Just tell them. I'm sure Fang and Iggy will just brush it off but still think about it," she thought for a second, "Bye, me and El are going to the mall, good luck. Ella, honey, we're going to the mall, now!" She yelled down the hall to our room. Lucky.
"Flock. Meeting. Now." I said after mom and Ella left. How do I do this? Angel already knew because she had a tear rolling down her cheek. "I have to tell you something." I took a deep breath.
"Get on with it." Iggy said irritably.
"Jeb's dead." I expected more shock from them or feeling, but nothing except Fang muttering "he was a great jerk while he was alive and he'll be a good one in death" he's such a charmer. And Nudge said "This saddens me, he let us out of The School. But Fang's right, he turned into a jerk." and Gaz said "R.I.H. Jeb, reast in he-"
"Gazzy! You could say that if he was alive, but that's just disrespectful now!" I saw Iggy try to hold back a smile. "Where's Dylan?"
"Sup," she said coming down the hallway to the living room. "And who's Jeb?"
"You heard that? From back there?" I asked
"Yeah, why? And once again I want to know who Jeb is."
"He's my father and he busted all six of us out of The School. Do you have super hearing?"
"I don't know… Ugh. What are we going to do today?" I might fight someone who's not an Eraser today…
"Keep talking to me like that and you'll find out soon." I said quietly but with poison in my voice.
"Max?" said Angel in her sweet-little-girl voice, "I'm really hungry. And why are you so mean to Dylan. She's not evil, I promise." She paused, "And Fang doesn't only like redheads, cuz he like likes you. And Dylan kind of likes Iggy because I can sorta pick up on her emotions." I saw Fang and Dylan blush.
"I'm sorry Dylan, Angel I'll get you some food." Short, but effective. I hope.
"I'll get some cereal by myself," She said smirking. Sometimes I thing we should change her name to Demon or Devil or something like that.
Maxes POV
Me and Dylan tried to put aside what… I guess… I started.
"So Dylan, I was wondering," here it goes, "What happened to your parents?" We all knew what happened to Alli, her little sister, she got trapped in a fire trying to save a little kid. She never said if the little kid made it out. But that explains why she's so jumpy around fire.
"I… uhh…I…" She was stalling. Maybe she didn't know. Just then there was a pounding on the door followed by all the windows shattering. Dylan almost hopped five feet in the air, "OH MY GOD! ERASERS!" By this time the whole Flock had ran in from whatever they were doing to help us fight. Dylan was pretty good, if I do say so my self. Then they got Flyboy backup, something we'd never faced before, Flyboy's and Erasers. We could tell we where beat so I yelled "Nurun! Wndswio! Yfli!" This was the secret language we taught each other. 'Nurun' is pronounced new run means run, 'Wndswio' is pronounced winds wieo meaning window, and 'Yfli' is pronounced why flie. Then I realized Dylan was still holding her own, and she didn't know our language so to get her attention I snapped to get her attention.
We where out but I looked back to see if there was and Erasers chasing us, and sure enough there was. And they had tranquilizer darts, they seemed to hit everyone except for Fang. And that was the last thought I had before I blacked out.
Fang's POV
Everyone had been hit with the tranquilizers except for me and I tried to take out most of the (flying) Erasers and Flyboys, but I just couldn't, the whole flock could barely take all the Erasers that normally attack. So I went to a close, high up cave and thought about a plan. Any way I would end up saving them, die trying, or get captured.
As I flew to The School I thought about a bunch of stuff. Like how I'm pretty sure the flock thinks I'm Emo, because I'm almost always silent, I wear black all the time, and my hair, that is some reason longer than Maxes.
When I got to The School I perched on top of it's concrete roof and going over my plan in my head. Oh, what? You want me to tell you? I know when Max does this she tells the plan like you'll never read or discover this, but this has all of our plans in it and I'm pretty sure most of them are for the future.
I like Max a lot, like more than the bacon ice cream sundae at Burger King which is saying something. The only thing is Angel told her already snd I don't know if she really believes that. But one thing she does believe is that I only like redheads. That's only 45% true, and she doesn't like Dylan because of that Dylan's pretty, about a seven on a scale of one to ten, but not as pretty as Max who is like, a nine. I have yet to meet a ten. Max would no doubt call me a sexist pig for using the scale, but I blame Iggy. Remember when the flock temporarily split up, and we went to California, and Iggy had me describing girls to him? After a while he made me rate them.
Now to put the plan into action. I used the pocket knife to cut the window and push it open I know exactly where to go.
Max POV
By the time I had woken up from the tranquilizer dart Dylan (there was a girl staring at her)and Iggy were already awake. "Where's Fang?" I asked, panic in my voice.
"They didn't get him, remember?" Iggy said groggily. Then I heard footsteps.
Dylan's POV
There was this kid staring at me from across the little aisle that separated the stacked cages .This time they had remembered to put me in a heavy duty cage. They're so freaking evil. This kid was starting to freak me out, she looked about eleven. And she has red hair and green eyes like me. She looked a bit like my mo-. Never mind.
I thought it was her but I couldn't be sure, "Alli?" Life's about taking chances, right?
"Yeah. Dylan Phoenix?" It was her.
Then I heard footsteps. It was whitecoats, and they had Fang with them. How are we going to get out now? Then he broke loose and let Max out of her cage then he fought the oncoming Erasers until the rest of the flock was freed. Then I looked back at Alli. I'm not sure if it was really her, but chances, right? So I let her out.
"What the heck are you doing?" Max whisper-yelled at me. She just has to know every thing.
"This is my sister." I said as we kept running from the Erasers.
"I thought she was dead."
"So did I. Alli, I thought you died six years ago." I'd been so sad, lonely, and just a bunch of other things, like angry, but at no one.
"I have no clue how I got out, but I saved that little kid. I passed out after a minute, and have been in The School ever since. I wondered why you didn't come get me, but you thought I was dead." She was about to cry.
"You're eleven now. I'm fourteen." I said, "I missed you so much."
"I missed you to." Then she actually started crying. When we got out of The School I flew as close to her as I could, my wing touching hers on every down stroke.
When we got back to Dr. M's it was about eleven thirty at night, an she was really concerned. She had seen the broken items that were in the living room and flipped out. Then she pointed to Alli and asked who she was so I told her that she was my sister, and I hadn't seen her for six years.
A/N WOO HOO! Long chapter with a bunch of stuff happening! And I'm going to Ohio for a week starting August twelfth, and that's a Sunday, but luckly the hotel has Wi-Fi, so I might update really late, like seven or eight, just a fair warning.
