I know everyone wants to shoot me for not updating lately but I have exams coming up and I just haven't had the time to update. Sorry. So here is your reward for waiting.

Jess Pov

Why are we heading towards Arizona? I don't know I just want to get something to eat. Blade and Rush look hilarious, they made a bet to see who could go the longest without moving, except to breathe and fly. Shay's entertaining Chellsie by telling her all kinds of funny stories about when he was nine. Eliza and Rose are talking to Rose's ferret, Melvin, don't ask me why his name is Melvin it just is. Josh and Casey are flying by uncle Iggy and uncle Gazzy. I guess their talking about, you guessed, bombs.

"Hard right guys and look for the nearest clearing we can land in." Yelled my mom while tucking in her wings a little.

I copied her moves exactly and we landed right outside of my grandparent's house. Well now I know why we were heading to Arizona.

The door opened and out stepped my grandparents. We hugged and talked when I noticed all the adults get just a tad antsy.

"Um mom, why are we here?"

Everyone seemed to echo my question. Mom sighed and looked at my dad.

"Kids, you all are going to stay here for a bit while Max, Gazzy, Iggy, Angel, Mark, Nick, Nudge, Alexis, Ella and I go take care of some business alone."

"What NO! You're going after Itex, I can tell. Take us with you."

"I'm sorry Blade but it's for your own safety."

I just stared at my mom; we had always been a team. Never to be broken up. Now she wanted to go and destroy Itex without us. What would happen if something went wrong, I would never see her again and I just got my dad back, no way was I letting them leave without us. Then I noticed my mom looking at the long scar on my arm. She was worried about us getting hurt.

"Mom we can look after ourselves, please let us come."

"No Jess and that's final."

"But mom," I looked at my dad and he shook his head. Shay was just staring at him then turning his version of bambi eyes on mom. Shay can do bambi eyes really well.

"No! Now Shay I'm trusting you with this," mom pulled out a credit card and gave it to Shay, "this is only to be used in emergencies and you are to look after everyone."

"Okay mom."

We all said good-bye to our parents and watched them take off. Then we were herded into the house and shown where we would sleep. It's not that I didn't like my grandparents it was more of the fact that I wanted to be with my parents.

Three weeks later

"Jess look at what I found." Chellsie said while shoving a poster in my face. Since our parents left I've kind of become the mother type person and Shay's become like our flock leader.

"What is it Chellsie?" I read what the poster said. It had singing contest written all over it, with a date and time and wait a second…

"Chellsie is this that same singing contest you've been trying to get me to enter into?"

Chellsie looked down then muttered a small yes. Even when you're annoyed with her, it was hard to stay mad at Chellsie. She was the exact replica of her mom. Cute green eyes, curly blonde hair, and an ability that could knock you into the next world.

"Look Chellsie, I already told you, I'm not going to sing in front of people."

"Oooookkkkkkaaaaayyyyyyy."

"Why don't you go find Shay or Rush and have them play with you."

"Okay!"

Chellsie skipped out of the house into the yard where she tackled an unsuspecting Rush. I laughed until Blade walked in.

"Did I just see nine year old Chellsie tackle my annoying twin brother?"

"That you did. I thought you went with Jeb to the store?"

"I did, we just got back. Jeb's still outside unloading."

"Good, I'm getting really hungry."

Just then Josh ran into the house followed by Rush and Chellsie. They're faces had erasers written all over them. My grandma ran into the house with Rose and Eliza and then Jeb ran in with Shay and Casey.

"What's going on?" I asked while my grandparents began herding us towards the back of the house.

"Erasers everywhere, you guys can't fly because they've got helicopters. We've got to get you guys to the safe house."

Jeb opened the back door when we heard the front door being banged open.

"Run towards the west until you hit a small creek bed. Stay in the woods and take the trail that leads up into the foothills of the mountains. From there you'll find an old dirt road, follow it for three miles then hike up the mountain going north for a mile and you'll come to an old cabin. Stay there until your parents or we come. Go now."

My grandparents shoved us outside the door and closed it behind us. They said that our parents may be coming. We had talked to them a couple of times on phones and such but we hadn't seen them in three weeks.

"Let's GO! Blade lead." Shay said while pointing towards the woods.

Blade took off and we followed him into the woods, running blind as the sun was just starting to set. We knew we were heading west but it got harder and harder to see just where we were going. All the while we were all on high alert for erasers or whack job scientists. I just hope grandma and grandpa get away.

After running for what felt like hours, (it was only a half hour), Chellsie tripped in something and fell. I saw her knee got scraped up and she had a hard time getting back up.

"Rush grab Chellsie."

Then I saw what Chellsie tripped in, a small little creek.

"Guys hold up, I found the creek."

Eliza hollered to everyone up ahead and we soon found the trail. We followed it up an incline until Rose fell onto an old dirt road. By now we were running in complete darkness. There was half a moon and a million stars but they didn't light our path much. Rush was still carrying Chellsie who still couldn't walk on her knee and Rose winced whenever she put weight on her right ankle. Finally Shay just decided to carry her on his back. Josh and Casey were lagging behind a little, because they were tired, and I was in the lead with Eliza by me and Shay was in the back.

"Jess stop this is about three miles. Turn into the woods and be careful to look where you're going."

"Got it Shay."

I turned into the woods and slowed down to a walk. There was no way we'd be able to run through the woods again. Going to the cabin, Josh fell into a fairly large hole and once we got him out, I could tell he had hit his head, how you ask, he had a gash on his forehead and he could barely walk straight. So Blade ended up carrying him the rest of the way.

Finally we came to a clearing and saw a small log cabin. We went inside and collapsed on anything we could find that was soft. The minute my head hit a pillow I was out, not caring about erasers, Itex, or scientists.

Review, review, review, review, review please. I don't know when I'll be able to update again because I have exams this week, but I promise I'll update ASAP.
