A/N SORRY YOU GUYS! I INTENDED TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO CHAPTERS UP BY NOW. I HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH MY KIDS THAT I STILL HAVEN'T GOT COMPLETELY RESOLVED YET.

FANGS POV

Well its been a week since me and max… well its been a week. She hasn't even said anything since that night, about IT anyway. We are currently looking for our safe haven. Nudge found a really good place, that we are currently checking out. (yeah max told nudge, she's old enough) Each of were inlisted with a job to do. I was currently trying to find our various appearance areas. Max says it has to be well planned and well executed. We can't go off half cocked. So here I am currently in front of a computer in the library. I figured a good place to show ourselves would be animal friendly places. And I do not mean zoos. I mean like national forests, they get a lot of attention, and they are some coverage for us to hide out in. Good idea to me. Max assigned Iggy and angel court house duty. They had to manage to get the deed from there. The house and land had been empty for several years. I told them they might be able to pay some due taxes and it would be ours legally. No mind control from angel, and besides if we have to use mind control, then we have to tell angel and gazzy. I personally do not see why we don't. They probably already know. They have to know about the house. I think max just doesn't want them to get there hopes up. Yet. Max assigned Nudge and Gazzy shopping duty. Gazzy was to get the essentials to clean the place up with and Nudge was required to get stuff like sheets blankets pillows, shampoo, dishes, that kind of thing. Needless to say they have already made several stops and are currently hiding there loot in the house. We are supposed to meet up in an hour.

MAX POV

"Okay guys, check what I've got." I yelled to all the bird kids. I didn't tell them what I was up to, I wanted it to be a surprise. I found out some really good information today and it took a lot of conoodling to get. As they all gathered around the small living room, each of them waiting impatiently for me to tell them. Angel was currently poking into my mind,

Max, what is it?

"Angel, your are 13 years old you have been using your abilities for a long time. And out of all these years of you using your abilities how many times have I told you that you are not to use them for your own personal information. They are to be used against the enemy, not each other."

Okay Max, It's just sort of a habbit…..

"Max will you get on with it already, since we finally got the deed we need to start on this place." Iggy said.

"okay here goes guys, since we have officially got our house, then its time to see if itex is still out there. And before anyone says anything let me explain. As we fix this place up and make it inhabitable we are going to be taking turns and showing ourselves to the media to get itex's attention. We have to know if there gone. I know we haven't heard anything in a long time. But that doesn't mean there gone. So what we'll do is take turns two or three at a time, going to different places and showing off. Fang's got the list of area's that we need to visit. Nudge and gazzy are responsible for making sure everyone's pack is always ready. We'll make a schedule so that everyone actually gets to go somewhere."

"WHOAAAA!! Max are you serious? Even me and angel get to go."

"Yes gazzy, especially angel. Her power is the one needed more often. I figure we'll go in two groups and alternate every so often. Like we can put angel on one side, and maybe fang on the other. And the rest of us can take turns on who goes with who. That alright with everyone."

"Wait max, are you sure we want to do this, I mean we finially have a chance to be happy, the first time in a long time…" leave it to angel to bring in reality…

"Yes baby, we need to be sure there gone and there's not anyone taking there place."

"which brings me back to my surprise.. I went to the bank today. I had my account reviewed. (the max card) I was a little stunned to find out that my card account comes from a very LARGE account."

After I made this little announcement everyone took on a sorta aww look. Like they couldn' t believe it.

"So what I had them do was take a lot of money from the large account and put it in a separate account for us. I also had two more bank cards made for us, each group will get one to use on the trips. And each month a certain amount of money will be seperated from the large account and put into ours. That way we will have money even if for some crazy reason they realize that we have got a card, and there's money missing. We can even get jobs and put money into it if we ever need to."

Fang's POV

I wish I could concentrate on what max was saying I know its really important, but for some reason all I can see is her lips, the way they move. And remember what they taste like. Which causes me to remember what other parts of her body taste like. It's a good thing she doesn't know what I'm thinking about. I think I'm gonna corner her and see if I can have some fun….

MAX'S POV

The kids were getting everything in there rooms ready for bed. The walls were cleaned and the floors, and the little bunk beds that were in there when we got here. So all they really had to do was make the beds, and put away their meager belongings.. That's the next thing to do get them some stuff…

I happen to glance out the window, and I noticed the sun setting. Since I was smart enough to complete my room earlier I am free to do what I want… Walking outside I jumped up into an old oak tree right next to the river. It was very quiet up here. It was a good place to think, like what in the hell am I gonna do about Fang. What we did together was amazing, world shattering. But to really face the facts I'm scared. I don't want to give my entire self to him. I'm afraid if I give myself to him I'll lose me along the way. And I cant do that. All I have is me. Yes I have the flock to depend on but its not the same.

As I'm sitting here contempulating my life with Fang, said boy jumps up behind me flaring his wings out, grabbing me by the waist and takes flight…
