Chapter 6:

Nudge P.O.V

I stared down at the letter for less than a second before unfolding it and beginning to read out loud,

" Hi everyone, it's Max. I have missed you guys so much. I know that everything must not seem to make much sense so, I'll just get right to it. For the past four years I been at The School (location unknown), and for the first year they did the usual testing, trying to learn more about us. However, they soon came to realize I had nothing much to offer in terms of information, so they decided to study an unexplored area of Avian hybrids, and that was birth and their offspring. And guess who was chosen for the part? That would be me, aren't I lucky? So after 9 months of being poked, prodded and pushed to my limits, the girl (who I hope is still with you), was born. She is my daughter, flesh and blood. I love her as much as any of you guys. Her name is Nicky, and she is amazing. I know parents gloat about their children all the time, but, this is different, she really is unique. Like Angel she has the ability to read and communicate through her mind, she has ultra speed, impeccable hearing as well as the ability to heal. She is the most loving and kind person you will ever meet and despite what the whitecoats have done to her, she is untainted by hate and evil. You will love her, like she already loves you. She doesn't know much about you, however, she does know who you are and that you are important to me. Fang, you once wrote that I was the most beautiful girl with wings or without, I am willing to take second place." I stared down at the now tear stained letter in shock. Max, our Max was really alive, but she left us again. Attempting to close the floodgates I read on,

"Now, the reason I am not telling you these things myself is because I can't come home, not when a piece of my heart is not there. I am going to find and bring back Angel. Don't attempt to follow me, you know your safety is only guaranteed if you don't go anywhere near The School". Did I just read that right?

She's gone after Angel. Is this woman crazy? Is she on a constant suicide mission or something? I glanced up from my corner of the room and they boys faces were blank, they were all lost in the magnitude of what was unfolding before us, I was about to speak when Nicky said,

"Keep going". Returning my focus back to the letter I continued:

"I need you to look after our my daughter. She has suffered enough and deserves to experience a real life, even if it is only for a while. I hope to be back soon, but I won't promise my return when we all know that is questionable, but if one day you find me at your door step I won't be alone. It was so great to see you all the other day, Fang thank you for taking care of them. Max."

I couldn't hold back the tears anymore; I dropped the letter and sank back against the cushions. Within seconds I felt small arms around my neck, nuzzling her face into my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

I had never witnessed such a deathly silence that had taken refuge in our living room.

So there it is, I know they have been a little short but I promise the next ones I have written are much longer, so you know the drill please review review review!
