Chapter 8

Max's POV

We were flying north, toward Canada, when Erasers attacked us; we fought for a good hour, before some people snuck up behind each of us, and stuck a needle in each of our necks. I had turned to fight the person behind me, when everything went black, and I wake up in a van with my mouth taped shut, and my hands tied behind my back.

Oh come on, can't we catch a freaking break!

I tried without avail to get out of the ropes, but they were wrapped around to many times, and they were also like an inch thick.

Glad to see the School has learned something.

After a little bit, I stopped to take a break, and to survey my surrounding, to see if I could find something to cut the rope with, but found nothing. So I looked at the flock, Fang looked like he was trying to escape too, Gazzy looked bored, Angel look like see was focusing on something. I figured she was trying to get the eraser to cut the ropes. Nudge looked panicked as usual, and Iggy wasn't looking at anything, since he was blind.

Stupid School for making Iggy blind!

"Don't worry guys; I will get us out of here."

"Hey you shut up!" the Eraser said

"Make me, dog!" I said and he grabbed my face.

Big mistake, I thought, and bit down on his hand, and then he slapped me

After that I keep trying to get the rope to at least loosen, but nothing I did worked, and we were soon out of time, because just as I was trying my last idea, the van stopped suddenly. We all hit the floor, and then I said

"Well I guess we're here guys."

The door opened and low and behold, one of the most despised people was standing there.

"Jeb" We all growled

"Hey Max, Fang, Nudge, Iggy, Gazzy, and Angel so nice to see you all again. Take them out, put them in cages, but I want to talk to Max, so take her to a room."

"Out!" the Eraser said behind us, and then pushed us out when we didn't move fast enough. The flock was led to the left, and I was led to the left, with Jeb in front. I looked back at the flock, and mouthed 'Don't worry'. We went into a huge building, and I was taken to an office with no windows. I was pushed down into a chair, and Jeb sat across from me, then he said

"That is all, leave." And the Erasers left to go stand outside of the door "How have you been Maximum?" Jeb asked, but I said nothing

"Oh come on, I am just trying to have a conversation, won't you talk to me?"

"No, now what do you want?" I demanded

"All I want is you and the flock back here where it is safe for you."

"Yeah right, can I go now?"

"Fine" Jab said and the Erasers came back in, I stood up, and they led me to where the flock was. As we neared the flock, I looked to my left, and there was a girl trying to bust through her cage, I started to say something, but I was pushed into the cage next to her. I keep my mouth shut, until the erasers left, and me, the flock, and the girl was alone, then I said

"Hey, I'm Max, what is your name?"

The girl didn't stop trying to bust out, but said "Rosa."

"Hi Rosa, it is useless to try and bust out."

"So, I should just stop fighting?"

"Well no, but I think your cage was meant to hold something very strong in."

"Oh" She said finally stopping

"So why are you here, you don't look like an experiment?"

"I am here, because I wanted to save my family, and it was the only way."

"Oh" I said, just as a whitecoat came in along with a very beautiful girl and handsome guy.

"Jane, Alec, what do you too want now?"

"You", they said as the girl, Jane, looked at Rosa and she fell to the ground withering in pain

How the heck did she do that!?

They opened Rosa's cage, and the boy took her out, they then left.

Rosa's POV

I was talking to Max when Jane and Alec came in with someone in a whitecoat; I was so pissed, that I couldn't stop myself from talking

"Jane, Alec, what do you too want now?"

"You" They said, as Jane looked at me, and I fell to the ground in pain. I heard my cage door open, and then I was being lifted, all the while I was still in pain. They took me to a smaller cage and put me in it. That was when the pain stopped. I stood up instantly, and felt a metal grate below me. A voice came to my ears then, and it said

"Are you sure, that she is the right one?"

"Positive, she is definitely the sister of the one we were chasing." Jane said

"Good, then this should work if the information you gave me is correct." The voice said

"It is." Alec said

Oh crap, was all I thought, before I felt the pain, and the electrocution, coming up through my legs. The pain was from Jane, and the electricity was from the floor, and both together were really pissing me off.

What is with Jane, she is so sadistic.

Eventually I began to scream and shake, a few minutes after that, I felt like I had exploded, and instead of being on two legs I was on four, and instead of yelling, I was whimpering.

What the heck!? I thought, at the same time the voice said

"Turn on the gas!"

Not long after the voice said that I started to get sleepy, and then everything went black. I woke up a few hours later, sore and in my cage.

What the heck, just happened?

I shifted through my memories, and I got as far as the voice yelling, me getting sleepy, and that was it.

What happened after I blacked out? I thought as Max said

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, do you know when I got back?"

"Yeah, you were gone for about two hours, and then they brought you back, only you were asleep. What did they do to you?"

"I don't know, but I am getting out of here, and then going to ask the same question to Carlisle."

"Who is Carlisle? What do you remember?"

"Carlisle is a doctor, and in a way my dad, and as far as what I remember." I said and then I told her all that I remembered which to me was not much. After I finished, she introduced me to the flock as she called them.

"Nice to meet all of you, do any of you have a plan to get out?"

"Nope, Max is the one with the plan usually."

"Oh ok, well Max do you have a plan?"

"Not a full one."

After that I helped her finish it out, and then we just talked, I told her I was a vampire, and she said that her and the flock had wings, which I didn't believe, and she said

"I will shoe then to you when we get out." As soon as she finished that sentence, the whitecoat and Alec came back, which made my heart soar, because without Jane here our chance of escape increased. They opened my cage, and before Alec could do anything, I put my shield around him and the whitecoat, and then I blocked the doors. Then I went over to Max's cage, and broke the bars of the cage, I then ran around to the flocks' cages, and broke them out too. They all said

"Thanks"

"Don't thank me yet, we still have to get outside." I said as we ran out the door, and I pushed my shield in front of me. We didn't run into any vampires, but a few wolf men, tried to stop us, but they got knocked out by my shield. Soon we were outside, and the flock let their wings out.

"Wow, cool."

"Thanks"

They took off, and I used my shield to make a bridge that I ran on so that I could see the flock, and lead them back to my home. When I looked back I saw wolf men coming out of the building, and trying to fly up to get us, but my shield keep them from coming. We ran for hours, and then I heard Max say

"I think we need to land for a minute and rest."

"Ok" I said back, and we stopped about ten minutes later.

Max said that she would be back, and that she was going to get some food, but I said

"I will get it, I know how to hunt, and I can even cook it for you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, you all just relax I will be back in a minute"

"Ok" I heard them say; as I jumped off of the platform I made with my shield, and ran into the woods. When I was about two miles in, I stopped and sniffed for some deer. I caught the scent of a herd that was about five yards to the east. I ran quick and low to the ground, when I was ten feet away from a big male deer, I pounced, and snapped its neck. I then took out my switch blade, and skinned and gutted it. Then I hung it in a tree, and cut off big chunks of meat. Then I used its skin a bag, and ran to find some herds and other things I could use to season the meat. Once I had found what I was looking for I ran back to the flock and jumped up onto the platform. I started a fire, and put some meat on a stick and placed it over the fire, then I added the herds I had found, and twenty minutes later it was done.

"Suppers ready" I said and the flock landed back on the platform, from who knows where, and I gave them two pieces each, while they ate I checked on the rest of the meat. Once it was done I gave it to them, by the time they had gotten full almost all of the deer was gone, except for six normal sized pieces.

"Wow Rosa that was good, you could probably beat Iggy at a cooking completion." Max said

"No, I am not that great with other things, I don't get to cook a lot, only when I have human friends over do I cook. So I mostly just know how to make breakfast, sandwiches, and wild meat from just about an animal."

"If you say so, it is good either way."

"Thanks" I said "why don't you guys take a nap, we can continue in about an hour or so."

"Ok" they said, and soon they were all asleep around the fire. While they slept I kept the fire low, so that it wouldn't attract attention. I let them sleep, until the sun started to go down, which was actually about four hours, but I knew that they needed it, especially the little kids. As the Sun started to go behind the trees, I walked over to Max, and grabbed her shoulder.

Max's POV

I was sleeping, dreaming of nothing, which to me was a blessing, because that meant I wasn't having a nightmare. I didn't know how long I had been asleep, but I soon felt a hand on my shoulder, and thinking it was an eraser, I jolted awake, and almost hit Rosa upside the head, but she caught my arm before I could get close enough to her head.

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to scare you; I was just waking you up, so that we could get a move on."

"Ok, sorry about almost hitting you I thought you were an eraser."

"That is ok, should I let you wake the flock up, in case they try to hit me too." She teased

"Sure" I said, and then I stood up, and said "Wake up everyone, time to move!"

I walked over to Rosa, and she said

"I have a little meat left; you all want to eat it now or later?"

"Now, then we can move out."

She handed me the rest of the meat, and once the flock was awake I passed it out. We ate it quickly, and then we jumped into the air, while Rosa made sure the fire was out, and then she started to run below us. We flew until it was noon, and when I looked down to tell Rosa to stop she wasn't there, so we stopped, to wait for her. She came back within an hour, with food, as she passed it out I asked

"Where did you go we were about to go looking for you."

"I went hunting."

"Yeah right, no forest that I know of has burgers."

"I did go hunting; I just went into town to do it. We are about two miles east of Forks, and about ten miles from my house."

"Oh, well thanks." I said as I took a bit out of my burger, and it was the most wonderful burger I had ever tasted. Granted I haven't had a burger in a while, but still it was great. Rosa waited on us to finish, and once we did we took to the air again, and flew the last ten miles to Rosa's house.

Rosa's POV

When the flock finished eating, they jumped back into the air, and we were off again, running and flying toward my home. We didn't stop until we were in the woods at the edge of the clearing. Once there, I told the flock

"Go into the trees, and stay there, I want to do something first."

"Ok" they said, and then they flew up into the trees and disappeared. I then ran to the house, and jump up a ledge, and then onto the roof, from there I got into the attic, and slowly and quietly made my way down to where the Cullens were. I got to the stairs, and got onto the rail, then I used my shield to make a noise at the end of the hall below me, and then I cloaked myself, and waited until the Cullens were down the hall. Then I leaped down, and stood behind them leaning against the door frame. When they started to talk about what had happened, I snuck up behind Carlisle, and said

"What's up, Doc?"

David is right I do watch too much Bugs Bunny.

I quickly cloaked myself, and moved back to my spot, where once Carlisle had turned back around I said

"Hey everyone miss me?"

At that everyone jumped a good two feet in the air, I uncloaked myself, and started to laugh. I was laughing so hard that I had to sit on the floor or fall over. Once I had finished with my laughing fit, I was pounced on by my sister.

"I missed you; please don't ever do that again."

"You know me Anne; I will do whatever it takes to save my family." I said getting up

"Yeah well you can't do that anymore." Esme said giving me a hug. As Esme stepped away, and everyone else gave me a hug, I told Max and the flock to come into the back yard.

"Hey guys, I have some people I want you to meet, they are awesome, and up there on the weirdness scale." I said, making a joke at the end. We went outside, and the Cullens lined up behind me, as I walked forward, and went to talk to Max. Once I had told her, her that it was ok, I introduced everyone.

"Max and flock, this is my family, the Cullens." I started "This is Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Anne, Emmett, Rose, and my husband David. Cullens, this is Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." I finished pointing to everyone in turn.

Once I finished the introductions, the backyard was a mixture of 'hello' and 'nice to meet you'. When everyone had finished greeting each other, we went back inside, and Edward went to make something for the flock to eat and drink. Iggy followed him into the kitchen, and I could hear them talk about cooking. A few minutes later the flock, Jacob, and my sister we all eating, sandwiches and potato salad, and they were drinking lemonade. When the flock had finished eating I show them the showers, and to their rooms. The boys got Edward's room, and the girls got Alice's and Jasper's room. I found some clothes for them, with Alice's help, and then told them to get some sleep, that they can take showers in the morning. Once they were asleep I went back downstairs, and asked my sister

"Where do you sleep?"

"In your room, do you mind, I know you have a lot of books, and that you usually read them at night."

"No I don't mind, and you should probably go to sleep to, I can see you keep trying to stifle a yawn."

"But I am not tired." She said, and as soon as the words were out of her mouth she yawned

"Yeah right, now go to bed; don't make me strap you to it." I said with a laugh

"Ok" she said giving in when she reached the stairs, she turned back to me and said "You know that is what you always told me, to get me into the bed. I even remember you actually doing it one time."

"Go now" I said as I threw a pillow at her, and almost hit a vase, of course it missed her, and she ran up the stairs to get away. I shot up and ran after her, one to make sure she went to bed, and two to get her back.

"Don't break anything!" I heard Esme yell

"I won't!" I yelled back I caught my sister as she tried to crawl under the covers of my bed. "Gotcha, now you will pay."

"Ah no, not that anything but that"

"Yes that." I said as I started to tickle her, and I didn't stop until she was rolling on the bed laughing, and complaining that her sides were hurting, and begged me to stop

"Stop…please…I can't…breath." She said between breathes

"Ok" I said letting her breathe "Now go to bed"

"Alright, goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too, goodnight" I said as I grabbed the book I was reading before the Volturi came, and left the room. Instead of going downstairs to read I went up to the roof, and lie underneath the stars and the moon, and read the last two hundred pages, of the book. Then I went downstairs and watched one of my favorite TV shows, NCIS. I absolutely loved the Gibbs character, and I thought the Ziva character, was awesome too. The Abby character was cool, but not in the same way as Ziva, Ziva was cool is an 'I will kill you' kind of way, whereas Abby was cool in sweet way. Emmett always teased me, by saying that I had qualities of both Ziva and Abby, but that I was more like Ziva, however I always to it as a complement. When 7 o'clock came around, I started breakfast. I had made enough waffles, eggs, bacon, and grits for the pack, the flock, and my sister. By the time they had either came over, or come down stairs, once everything was gone and the plates were washed, I sent the flock upstairs to go take showers. When they came back down, we watched TV, and Carlisle asked

"Do you guys want to go to school here, if so you can start tomorrow, and be able to go to school with Rosa's sister?"

I had found out the night before that Anne had enrolled in school, while I was gone, which I was happy to hear. The flock talked it out, and then Max said

"Sure, ok"

"Ok, then I will call the school, and tell them that you all will be in school tomorrow, Rosa will you get them the supplies they will need for school?"

"Sure" I said as I jumped up, and ran out the door. When I got out the door I headed toward the garage, but as reached to door, Edward and Alice stopped me,

"Hey guys, can I get in the garage, I need to go get supplies for the flock to go to school with."

"Sure, but first we wanted to give you these." Alice said handing me a set of keys that I had never seen before.

"What car do these go to?" I asked

"Your car" Edward said as he opened the garage door, and a red Ferrari was sitting right behind him. I clicked the button to unlock the door, and when its lights flashed, I opened the door, and hopped in. It had leather seats, and leather on the steering wheel. Edward and Alice moved out of the way, and I started the car and drove to the store, when it started it hummed, and it also drove smoothly. When I got to the store, I bought notebooks, book bags, pencils, and pens. Once I paid, I drove back home, I went inside gave the flock their supplies, and then went to find Edward and Alice. I found them in the backyard, so I walked up to them and said

"Thanks for the car it is awesome."

"You're welcome." They said

You are probably wondering how Rosa changed into a wolf, well you see her mom and dad were both werewolves. You may also be wondering how she didn't die when she was bitten by a vampire, well you see she was still human when she was bitten, so she could be changed, and if so got mad enough the wolf in her would still come out.
