When I got home Iggy was cooking dinner and Nudge was setting at the table. It was Chaos. You would think the older we got the more we would clean.

"Maxy is home!" Little Doodle yelled. Doodle was about 4, with a hot temper and was still adorable. When we had finished off Itex, there were only 2 other survivors: Doodle and Ember. They were twins, Erasers. They were only babies, so we just had to take them with us. It was either that or kill them and I was not going to have two little babies' lives on my consciousness. There was something about there genetic system that kept them from ageing fast, they were like werewolves really. Doodle came running from the living room to hug my leg. "Happy Birthday Max:"

"Hi bud!" I said as I shuffled his brown curly hair.

""so, how was your day with Iggy?" Iggy had tried to go to school, but they treated him like he was useless. So, he decided to stay home and watch over Ember and Doodle. Plus, paying the childcare bill was a pain in the ass. Iggy also took up home schooling over the computer; how he saw the screen I have no idea.

"It was great! We played hide-and-go-seek. Iggy always won even though he's blind. I still haven't figured that out yet, but I will find out his secrets." He looked so diabolical and determined.

"Max, were is Fang?" Nudge asked from the other room, "I need his help with my math homework. Mr.Clam gave us 5 pages of stupid math homework. How unfun was that?"

"Well, Fang will not be home tonight" I replied, knowing that I didn't have to explain it any further. Iggy shook his head. I walked into the kitchen to see what Iggy was making. I saw Nudge go up to her room out of the corner of my eye, habit.

"So, what's for dinner?"

"So we nee to talk?"

"Looks like chicken cordon blue and corn" Iggy stood in silence. "No" I said, even though it would be nice to talk to someone who knew Fang like the flock did. Nudge would never let me get a word in, Gazzy would joke about it latter, Angel was too young even if she reads peoples minds witch maker her more mature and so that left Iggy. He was a good listener, of course.

"Fang is just over reacting on this me and Evan thing"

Iggy just kept on cooking, it smelled so good.

"I man, what is his deal? We tried to go out and it just didn't work. We were always fighting and he was so …jealous." I slowed down, just realizing what Fang was feeling. He was still jealous.

"Iggy, he's jealous. Thanks for listing"

"No, prob"

I traveled into the living room to check on the other kids. Gazzy was working on his science project. Either that or some new bomb, I hope it was the other one. Angel was reading her latest book, Faeire Path. Doodle was playing some type of fighting game, talking to himself and making up these blowing up sounds with the little high pitched screams.

I found Nudge in the room typing a story on fanfic on the laptop. Total was sleeping beside her on the bed.

"Hey, sweetie, what you wirtritng now?"

"Another story on twilight." She explained with out stopping "This time Edward leaves Bella and Bella starts going out with Jacob. Then, Edward comes back and she finds she can't give up Edward and ends up marring him in the end."

"Isn't that how it is told in the book?"

"Yes and no. In the book, she never dates Jacob and this is the second time Edward has disappeared."

"okay. Find a stopping point because Dinner will be ready soon"

Ember was in her and Doodle's room playing dolls.

"Hey Ember"

"Max" Ember had bright flaming orange hair and was still extremely thin from the bad living conditions at the school. Unlike her brother, she had not gained much weight. She was a shy little girl with a sweet but dark personality. She was by herself most of the time. I believe she still remembered the horrors from the school. Her brother had forgotten, I was pretty sure about that.

"How are you? Is Fang home yet? He didn't come into my room today"

"Not yet sweetie" Fang and Ember were really close. I think they understood each other, "but promise me you won't stay up and wait for him, tonight, promise?" I knew she still would but it was worth a try.

"Alright"

"So, I heard you played hide-and-go-seek with Iggy today"

"Doodle did"

"So, what did you do?"

"I sat outside with Minny"

Minny was a black cat we saved from off the streets. Total was not to happy about there being a new pet. You never saw Ember with out Minny being 3 feet away. Right now, Minny was sleeping on Ember's bed on the bottom bunk.

"DINNER!" Iggy yelled from down stairs.

"come on dinner's ready"

Ember and I worked our way to the kitchen.
