Hey it's me again. This chapter will be a little longer, promise. And finally there will be some action.

Jess POV

"Dad."

I hugged my dad for what seemed like an eternity. I missed him so much. Phone calls and letters can only go so far. There was only one advantage to not having your dad around; he didn't follow you on dates. Which in fact I've been on, but my mom always flew behind us which sucked too.

We stayed like this until Nudge cleared her throat. We broke apart then I ended up hugging Shay and mom and dad went on a kissing spree, yuck. Nudge threw her hands in the air and walked out of the room. Hehehe, you could never rush these things you know.

A little while later we were sitting on the couch all talking about our lives. When I accidentally said I had a boyfriend, uhm, well, uh, Fang gave me a look. My mom burst out laughing. Then the door to the attic opened and Nudges family walked in, plus Nudge. There was Nudge (who was 31) and her husband, Nick (who was also 31). Guess what though, Nick is also an avian- human hybrid who was at another lab until my parents set him, and two others free. Anyway, there kids were Eliza, Rose, and Casey. Eliza and Rose were twins, both 12 years old. Casey (who's a boy just to let you know) is 11.

Eliza was medium sized in height, had green eyes, medium length, brunette hair and tawny wings. She could also turn invisible. Her sister Rose was just a teeny bit shorter than Eliza. She had purple eyes (yes people can have purple eyes) long brunette hair and off white wings. Now she could talk to animals, which is probably why a ferret was sitting on her shoulder. Their brother, Casey, was tall for his age; he had brown eyes, short brown hair and brown wings, the exact replica of his dad. He could also make up to four copies of himself.

"Hey guys!" I said to break the silence that had befallen the attic.

Here in started another round of greetings; the longest was with my mom trying to get to know everyone better.

Next walked in Iggy and Ella, (Yes Iggy married Ella.) and there two twin kids. Blade and Rush. Both boys had short hair, were tall, and were both fifteen, but that was where the similarities ended. Blade had Hazel eyes, short black hair like Shay, and dark brown wings. Blade could also tell when someone is lying and he is extremely agile. Rush had blue eyes, short blonde hair and Brownish grey wings. He could control fire and he had really good hearing.

They all came over and yet again we started up greetings. Okay people I know we haven't seen each other in the past four years, but I was really getting tired of greetings. So I went downstairs to the living room.

Next and last to walk in were Angel and Gazzy's families. They had married the other avian-hybrids my parents had rescued. Anyway Gazzy had married this girl named Alexis. They had one kid, Josh. He was 11 years old and already knew how to put together a bomb. (I wonder where that came from. Oh and did I mention that Rush also played with explosives as well.) Anyway Josh had blue eyes, short sandy blonde hair and grey wings. He was about average height for an avian-human hybrid of his age. He could also control rocks.

Angel walked in with her husband Mark. They had one kid, a 9 year old girl named Chellsie. She was soooo cute. She had amber gold eyes, medium length sandy blonde hair and white wings. She was average height for her age and she could create shields. I hugged her and I saw a puppy trailing Chellsie, the dog talked. I guess it was Total's puppy. Oh yes, Total died a little while ago but he had left behind a puppy.

Everyone headed upstairs but me. It was too crowded and I really just felt like looking at the sun so I went outside and watched the sunset. It was so awesome. So I guess I should tell you about me and my brother. Well Shay is 15; he has dark brown eyes, short black hair with long bangs, and wings like my mom's, a tawny and brown color mix. He was about three inches taller than I am and he is tall for his age. Shay can control light and can be very persuasive. I'm 14; have amber eyes, long dirty blonde hair, about average height for my age and I have midnight black wings. I can hypnotize people when I sing. Well I don't really hypnotize people but they like freeze, it's funny. I also have my mom's ability to fly really fast, although I can't fly nearly as fast as she can.

A couple of branches snapping on opposite ends of the property caught my attention. A chilly wind whipped my hair around. Then I saw something move, I looked closer and almost screamed. I casually walked inside right into the arms of a HUGE new and improver eraser. It grabbed my hands and wrenched them behind my back and with his free hand covered my mouth so if I screamed, no one would hear me.

The lights were turned off and I was dragged into a bedroom. I was kicking and doing everything I could to get loose but two other erasers were now holding me as well. When they dragged me into they started beating the crap out of me. I fought darkness closing in on me so I did something that almost made me laugh. I faked passing out. One of the erasers laughed quietly and said something about revenge. I sat up on the bed and screamed as loud as I could. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and footsteps going up the stairs.

One of the erasers punched me in the side of the head and I could no longer fight the darkness. I passed out.

Max POV

When we all were finally sitting around in a semi circle, I examined everyone. This was my flock, my new extended flock. Jess was downstairs, probably watching the sunset. She always did that at home. I finally spoke up.

"Okay Fang why did you call us all together."

Fang and Shay both got puzzled looks on their faces.

"We didn't, I got a letter from Nudge saying we had a problem with Itex."

Everyone looked at Nudge.

"I got a letter from Iggy saying the same thing but to pass the news on to Fang and Shay."

We looked at Iggy. Something didn't sit right with this.

Something doesn't add up.

No duh Jeb.

Yes I still had Jeb in my head as the voice, but I've learned a few things, like how to block him out. Iggy spoke up.

"I got a letter in the mail from Gazzy telling me to pass the info on to Nudge."

Gazzy looked puzzled.

"I got a letter from Angel telling me about Itex, and that I needed to pass the info onto Iggy."

Angel looked at me.

"Max I got a letter from you, saying it was time to be a flock again and to make sure everyone knew. So I told Gazzy."

Now everyone was looking at me. Something did not add up.

"Guys, I never sent any letter. I admit it I was going to in about a week but I never ended up getting around to it."

We were all nervous now. Suddenly Iggy and Rush stood up and went to open the window. Iggy turned around first, followed by Rush. They both said the same thing.

"ERASERS!"

We all sprang into action, getting ready to take off from the window when I remembered something.

"Guys Jess is still down stairs!"

Fang pivoted about the same time I did. I yelled for the others to take off and for them to meet up at the caves. Just F.Y.I. the caves are a bunch of caves that we discovered before we split up. Just then I heard Jess scream, her scream was cut short and Fang and I barreled down the stairs. My flock hadn't obeyed and I heard them right behind us.

At the bottom of the stairs a bunch of super charged erasers met us. I plowed right through them. I somehow knew where Jess was and I wasn't going to let them take her.

Okay Review please.
