Chapter two-Max

I wake up with the sun. It is a very old habit of mine. I had to hide Angel and Gazzy before Jeb got up. Since it is the only day two of our move I don't have to hide them, but I still get up and peek into each of their rooms and see they are both fast asleep. When I look in Jeb's room(I took a random guess and it was right) he is also asleep.

I walk back to my room and sit down on the bed. My wings are spread out behind me. I get up quickly so I don't get too comfortable.

I get dressed quickly in a black long sleeve shirt and black skinny jeans. I slip on my leather boots and put my black fleece on and put my black leather jacket over it. I have to dress in layers for this weather. It is just above freezing, which is close enough to freezing for me.

I lucked out with this move. We are close to a fighting ring. I had Ryan talk to the head when I found out where we were moving. I need to meet with him.

I stop at Angel and Gazzy's doors. So much can happen while I am gone. It is only about a five minute run. Jeb normally wakes up around 8:30am. I have an hour or so until he gets up. I really hope he will continue this pattern and not do anything while I'm gone.

I walk back to my room and walk though the balcony. I make sure none of my neighbors are out and I jump down the 20 foot drop. I land in a crouched position with one hand toughing the ground lightly. I get up and take off at a fast sprint to the abandoned hotel.

When I get there I do the knock that I was taught and the doors open. I am met by a big burly man.

"What do ye want?" He ask in a gruff voice.

"I am here for Ram. Ryan sent me," I tell him.

His eyes scan me up and down, lingering at my chest. I internally roll my eyes. He gives a harsh nod and leads me deeper into the compound. It doesn't take me long to hear the noise. We stop behind a large door and soon a small man walks out. And I mean small. He is probably peaking at five feet.

The man holds out one of his small hands and takes mine, shaking my hand wildly.

"It is so nice to meet you Maximum. I was very excited to hear from Ryan. So follow me and we can figure something out." He drops my hand and scurries off.

I have to nearly run to keep up with him. We enter a grand office and Ram motions for me to sit down in one of extremely lavish chairs. I just stay standing.

Ram seems to not notice and starts rummaging until he sets a piece of paper in front of me. "I like to keep everything organized. Can you please put your name on the days you can come."

I twist the paper and look at it. There are not many names on here. I write my name down for everyday for as long as the sheet goes except for Tuesdays and Sundays. Angel and Gazzy love Tuesdays. They say it's how it looks with the 'u' and the 'e' or something like that. They made me pinky-promise never to fight on Tuesdays. I never fight on Sundays because even I need a rest.

When I give the sheet back to Ram his face lights up like a freakin' Christmas tree. "So how much?" I ask. I don't shake until I know the price.

"I can give you half the cut for each fight." I nod and hold out my hand. That is a fair deal and Ryan warned me not to bargain with Ram. I drop his hand and start to walk out.

"Maximum?"

I stop.

"It was nice to finally meet you."

I don't say anything and continue to walk out. As soon as I am out I sprint home and quickly fly up my balcony and pull my wings back in. I don't want Angel and Gazzy to know I already have fights scheduled.

I take off my leather jacket and check the time. It is 8:45 so I am right on time. I walk to Angel and Gazzys' rooms. They are both still sleeping and Jeb is in the shower.

I walk back to my room and follow Jebs' example and shower. He doesn't like it when he is drunk so better get it done now.

I get out and dry my brown, blond-streaked hair and shake out my wings. I put my clothes back on and go to wake Angel and Gazzy.

I enter Angels room and gently shake her awake. She blinks her big baby blues at me and smiles sleepily. "Morning sweetie," I say softly.

"Morning Max," Angel says and gives me a hug. I give her a squeeze and pull back.

:You get ready and I will go get Gazzy. Then we can go outside." She nods and I get up and walk to Gazzys room.

I nudge him awake and tell him to get ready. I walk downstairs and get some toast and pop it in the toaster. It worked last time I used it so it should come out unburned. I pull to toast out and put butter and jam on it and have it on the plates by the time Angel and Gazzy come downstairs.

"Morning guys. Want some toast?" They both nod and sit down quickly. They both eat quickly and as I get up to start seconds when a freshly showered Jeb walks in.

"Good morning kids. Is that toast I smell? Can you pop in a piece for me?" I stop and stare at the alien in front of me.

I quickly get out of my stupor and jump at him, twisting his arm and making him bend to my will.

"I thought we were over this. We are not yours. Do not act like we are. How many times do I need to go over this." This is the only time I get the better of Jeb, so I always take advantage of it.

I release him and go back to making toast, pretending nothing happened. I give Gazzy and Angel their plates and sit down with mine. Jeb stands there and watches us for a few seconds before I glare at him and he looks away.

When we finish eating I clean the plates (I know how to do chores. Need to know people) and Gazzy and Angel get dressed.

I'm in my room getting my hat when there is a knock on the door. Before I can say 'come in' the door opens.

I glare at Jeb as he comes in and shuts the door behind him. I pull the hat low on my head and look at him. Jeb walks up to me until he is right in front of me.

"What do you want Jeb?" I ask him in an annoyed voice.

"The neighbors are coming over to meet us in ten minutes. I don't want you to say a thing to them about what you are or what I do to you." He says in a low tone.

I don't know what to think of this. He has never come to me to say this, unless he's drunk, but it is clear he is not. I nod numbly.

Jeb turns and walks out of the room without another word or look. I quickly go to Angel and Gazzy's rooms, making sure they are both okay. They are already dressed so I just have to hope the neighbors kids will want to play outside. And that they are around our ages or don't care. And that they don't hurt Angel or Gazzy. I really don't want to hurt a kid, right now, later I won't really care much.

Angel sits next to me on the couch. "Do you think the neighbors will be nice?" She ask me.

I hug her. "I don't know, sweetie. We can hope so. Maybe they will have a kid your or Gazzys age to play with. Lets try to be positive." She nods

The door bell rings and I look at both Gazzy and Angel as Jeb goes to answer the door. As I said before, this break can either be gone in a flash, or as slow as a snail.

So... What do ye think. know that there is a little more tell me. there should be more in a few hours so... Since none of y'all wanna kiss my feet how about a cookie or a paper cut. R & R. Again do not go and read fanfiction and take a nap. No double meaning here. This isn't school.
