Run, I'm back. I just wanted to say here is chapter 2, Talk time.

"Hey Max. Mind if I sit here?" Nickolas asked but didn't really care for the answer as he just sat in the seat to my right. He took a bite of his food as I just continued to stare at him with a "Wtf?" face. He looked up, sensing my intense stare and was taken back a little.

"Uhm, can I help you?"I exclaimed. I don't want him to make contact with me at all. Hell I didn't want him to even know my name! Maximum, you must take matters into your own hands & handle your problems in a polite manner. So you're basically telling me to not fuck this up? Yup, pretty much. Dickwad.

"Well if you remember, we were assigned partners in History. The teacher did assign us someone that would help with our grade so I'm asking what you need help in." This idiot is trying to act like I'm the one that needs help, pshh I lived through this. He needs help, not me. Trust me I would know.

"Listen here Nickolas; I'm not the one that needs help in History. You are, I already know everything I need to know and my grades are higher than average, so what do you really want?" I said straight to the point, he put on his cocky face but his feelings were unsure. He was annoyed, and a hint of anticipation was in there.

"Excuse the hell out of me, but I have my rights and can sit wherever I want. Plus, if you're so smart why are you in all my classes? Cause' I know the ones that we have aren't advanced."He sneered at me. Crap, I shouldn't have said that I'm more advanced that him. Crap. Ok think…. Just say you wanted to stay in school, not skip. Wow, you're helpful for once.

"Well if you must know Mr. Nosy, I didn't want to skip threw school. I want to have the high school experience." Even though I already did that, I told myself silently. I could feel impatience burning threw his body and the stubbornness he had towards me, for some reason.

"Well, why not have your experience with me? Since you apparently haven't gone far." He was referring to my lack of friends, obviously.

"Yeah? By that you mean go home and play on an "X-box"? What fun. I'll pass, I'm not that pathetic." Yeah you're too busy watching him to play games. Who asked for your opinion?

I walked off into the bathroom before he could say anything and ate my lunch in peace. Finally.

He didn't bother me for the rest of the day.

After school I went behind the school as usual and took off my nice shirt, and now it's time for the worst par t of the day.

I closed my eyes and rolled my shoulders, and pushed my chest forward making my wings break thru the skin and started to pull them out hearing the normal cracks and feeling the same pain. Thank heaven I heal easily. The burning started to etch away as I threw on my baggy t-shirt. If I want I can force my wings out fast, but I'd rather not cause it really rips skin and hurts like a bitch.

I was about to take off into the air, when I felt the elders call. No not a phone, but a feeling threw your head that clears you of everything you're thinking about for a second, you feel uncompleted until you go see them. I was about to say a Guardian Angel call for a portal to open, until one opened before me and sucked me in. I guess whatever they needed was important.

I landed somewhere in the woods with a thud, and an old man standing before me.

"Ok what the hell's so important that you couldn't send me a portal that I could walk through?" I exclaimed, while standing and wiping dirt off my jeans and shirt. I looked up to see a guy with a shiny bald head and a gray beard, in a white robe (What a shocker!). Why are we not on clouds with men around me in a circle with podiums in front of them? Pft, we can't do that or intruders would come, we have different spots each meet.

"Hmm, they said you were difficult. I guess they were correct." Damn his head was shining like crazy, what does he oil it or something?

"What do you mean by "they"?"I questioned

"Never mind that, I should not have spoken I am sorry" I went to yell at him but he just kept on talking "I am here to discuss, your living style. We have chosen to give you a watcher to provide a house for you. I've heard you're residing in an abandon house, and living off what you catch, also you have become social with someone."

Whoa! Hold on, I don't need a baby-sitter. Plus, the person I talked to doesn't even know anything about me. So I think I'm good. Thanks, though." I interrupted in on his little rant. Damn it, Nickolas! This is his entire fault, if he would've just stayed away.

"Listen now, we will send you a watcher of your choice gender and there may be something in for you. If you cooperate correctly." He bargained to me.

I thought for a minute weighing my options, I was tired of eating desert rat all the time and only showering at the school when I break in at times. Hmmm, fuck it, I'm dealing.

"Fine but I want a girl, a nice car to myself, and someone that's not controlling. Also, I get what to do what I want when I want. Okay?" He looked at me stunned.

"We are trying to help you, not contain you. And where do you think we can get a car? You don't understand the purpose of a watcher." He exclaimed.

"Well then I guess you don't need to find a watcher. You said I have to be normal. Normal kids have cars. Take it or leave it." I bargained.

He took a minute most likely telepathetically talking to other elders, arraigning things around. Then he said "Ok, you will get what you wish, but you must follow the Guardian Angel rules or face consequences. Understand?"

I gave him a questioning look and replied "What consequence will I have to face for acting normal. There is no rule about that, huh?" He did not speak knowing what I said is true. So I continued, "Ok then, now are you going to make a portal or shall I?" He waved his hand in the air making a clear portal appear, I walked thru it with a smirk on my face, knowing that I got exactly what I want.

I just don't know if it's good or bad.

I flew into the air as soon as I was back behind the school where my stuff is; by the time I got there it was 6pm light out still. I quickly gathered my stuff and went to Nickolas' house to check on him, he was just there playing his X-box as usual.

Max, go to 3859 North Bill Place. I don't think I have to explain it, right?

No, I know why I have to go there. That was fast, I just got done talking to the elders. Well they were prepared for everything you said.

I flew in that exact direction, it's like my body has a built in GPS. I arrived there, in no time.

The house was in the woods with a long drive way leading up to the house; it was three-story house with one of those underground levels. It's all wood, with a small garden in front; to the left was a two car garage, which was closed. You could tell the top story was a bedroom by how small it looked; it had 2 windows on the top and a few on the second story with 2 at the bottom surrounded by cement so dirt and grass wasn't blocking it. I crouched down to see the underground level window; it had little bars in the corner so you can climb out and a roof over it that looked wide enough for me to slip through.

I tucked my wings in tight and had my backpack on my left shoulder only. I walked up the 3 steps and knocked; as I was waiting I heard a dog barking. Oh great, slobber. I was surprised to see a girl my age open the door, she had wavy black hair with front bangs over her eye brows along with pale pink lips and with eyes like mine. She was wearing jean shorts and an Abercrombie & Fitch black tank top with the logo on the bottom left, with leather flip flops that went around her ankle. I guess she was ready for Arizona.

"Hi, can I help you?" She said with a smile on her face. I was about to tell her that she's pretty young to be a watcher when a lady from the other side of the door opened it wider and said "You must be Maximum, I'm Valencia Martinez." She stepped to the side inviting me in. I looked around before entering; she led me to the right side where there was a kitchen and a counter top you can sit at. I saw paperwork I guess the young girl was working on, school forms? Valencia took a batch of cookies out of the oven and motioned for me sit, while she was placing them on a plate.

At that moment I took time to get a good look at her. She was in a tank top with a grey cardigan over and jeans along with black toms. Her hair was in a low pony tail with her hair split down the middle, and her curls framing her face. She was in shape and didn't look old at all, like I expected. She looked to be in her early 30s and maybe 36 at the most. As I sat the young girl took out cups and put milk in them, I just watched them walking around the kitchen before the young girl went back to her papers.

"So Maximum, have you ever had a watcher?" She asked as she placed the plate in front of me. Just the smell was delicious, and saliva filled my mouth wanting to devour those cookies in front of me. Her face was questioning, but her voice had a hint of nervousness.

"Just call me Max, and no ma'am I have never had one. Just me most of the time." I responded (I have manners!); as soon as I finished I shoved two of those delicious smelling cookies in my mouth. She looked at me surprised, but then sympathy crossed her face. I guess she remembered I've been living in the woods on desert rat. I took another as she asked me another question.

"Ok, so is this your first time being a Guardian Angel?" She asked.

"No, I've been one a few times, but that was a long time ago." I said, simply.

"Ok good. This is my fist time being a watcher. My grandmother was one, it runs in the bloodline." She stated with a relieved smile, that I couldn't help but smile back. Finally the tension was gone and we continued to talk like normal.

I found out the young girl was named Ella and she would attend school with me as my cousin. They seemed normal and not controlling, Dr. M (That's what I call her, she's a vet) told me the rules of her being a watcher. Turns out she has to help keep me a secret, of course, but mainly in public and with the law. Just in case, you never know.

Ella led me to my part of the house, I have my own part! Which was the level that was the last story, it was the stairs by the kitchen and threw a door was a whole mini house. Once you entered there was a little living room and the kitchen to the right and doors to the backyard. Past the kitchen was a hallway and the laundry room was to the left with a bathroom at the right. In the back of the hall there was two bedrooms, I chose the bigger one and in there was a queen sized bed in the corner with a side table and next to that was a dresser. There was a normal closet to left of the door as you enter, with mirrors as doors. The window was big and had no screen so it opened fully; I saw the bars in the corner of the cement like I did outside.

"Well I hope you like your own part of the house; I get the other one to myself now." She said in a humorous voice. Not mean at all. At that time Dr.M walked in.

"Oh you showed her, her part. The closet and dresser is empty, I didn't know your style. So I was hoping we can go shopping later for your own clothes, unless you have some of your own."

"No that's fine, all of mine are over used anyway." I said.

"Well then, we'll go tomorrow after school. Get cleaned and then bed, Ella you'll have to let her borrow one of your outfits, its late for her to fly to her old spot and get clothes. Same with you Ella, you start school tomorrow as well." She said in a motherly voice. Tear wanted to well up in my eyes at hearing that voice that I haven't heard in decades. But I didn't allow that to happen and just nodded.

Her and Ella left the room with Ella begging her mom to let her miss school, I smiled to myself hearing the family bicker towards each other.

I looked around the spotless room as the light blue walls stared back at me, and decided to take a shower.

I went in the bathroom and found a towel under the sink, the shower already had shampoo & conditioner inside with my own loofa and body wash. I took, what felt like the longest shower ever. As soon as I stepped out I felt so refreshed and clean inside, I found a new toothbrush in the side cabinet, along with tooth paste and scrubbed my teeth, and then used the mouthwash. I have never felt so clean in my life.

I was surprised to see Ella in my room. I have my own room, wow.

"Oh hey, I was just laying down some pajamas for you." She said then was about to leave, before she said "My mother really likes you and will treat you like her own. Oh and all I have is a closet full of Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Hollister. Sucks for you!" She left laughing at my expression of her preppy clothes. I Like her; she's already treating me like a family member.

I changed in the cotton shorts and tank top she lend me, and crawled into bed. I snuggled up into the white sheets and fell into the deepest sleep ever. My last thought was, "This watcher thing isn't so bad after all."

I woke up to an alarm that I didn't even know was set to 6:30 am. I banged on the button, and turned over to go back to sleep only to hear Ella yell "Max get your ass out of bed and pick out an outfit!"

"Language Ella!" Dr.M yelled. I laughed into the pillow at the family and how Ella wasn't giving me any special treatment.

I walked up to the second story found Ella outside her door at the end of the hall; she motioned for me to hurry. I went in her room and saw her big open closet that was color coded.

"Ok choose whatever, but please try to avoid getting it dirty." She said as she rushed out of the room with a towel in her hand.

I looked thru the whole closet and went to the part where all the jeans were and chose a pair that had a quarter sized hole on the left thigh. Damn, their skinny jeans. After that I chose a simple white Hollister tank top but grabbed a grey cardigan just in case dress code.

I gathered them and went down stairs to my part, ran a brush threw my hair and let my waves go over my shoulders, I was going to put it up but then rembered I won't be flying to school. I put on what I chose then a pair of clean socks and put on the only pair of non-girly shoes Ella had which were stone washed lace-up boots, that went mid-calf. I looked myself up and down in door sized closet mirror. I looked different, a normal different. I couldn't stop staring at the new looking me, in Ella clothes. After that I followed the smell of pancakes, to the second story.

"Oh good you're up and ready!" She said as she placed a pancake over another, "Here's some fresh chocolate chip pancakes for you, I saw the way you teared apart those chocolate chip cookies and decided to make chocolate chip pancakes for you."

I went to the counter top as Ella walked out with straightened hair and in a floral laced skirt with a dark blue ribbon wrapped around the waist you can tell it was part of the skirt; she had a navy ruffled at the center tank top that was tucked in, with a pair of dark blue flats. Over all she was in full prep clothes and looked beautiful. She sat at my left since I was at the corner and questioned me about the school as wee stuffed our faces with pancakes. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart like an empty spot was being filled with happiness and warmth that this family was giving me.

Max watch out for caring for humans, you cannot get close with them. That's bad news.

What? Why?

…

Ok don't respond, ass. Ella's voice broke me out of the inner conversation I was having, "So how hot are the boys?"

"Ella!" Dr.M said with a smile on her face. I thought I saw her leave into the office room at the right of the entrance. "Ok well I have surprise for both of you, since its Ella's first day and since Max has moved in. Follow me." We were walking towards a door passed the entrance on the side of the wall, which I was guessing led to the garage.

She opened the door and turned on the light to the garage. I gaped at what was before me, along with Ella. I think you can guess what we saw. Yup, new cars for us.
