Max POV

I woke up before the rest of the flock. The fog from the night before was almost completly gone. I was even more tired then I had been last night. With a groan I rolled over and stood up.

"Okay everybody up!" I yelled. No one moved, typical. I was debating whether to keep yelling or to start kicking when I heard something that sounded suspiciously like footsteps. I picked my way silently through the trees. It was a girl. She moved around the trees picking up stuff and packing it in a bag. Just an ordinary runaway except for one thing: she had wings. She rustled them stiring up leaves. They were grayish blue but they sparkled silver when the sun caught them.

I felt the flock creep up behind me and I motioned for them to be quiet. We surrounded the clearing and waited. For what? I'm not sure something like an attack or whatever.

"I can see you. Might as well tell me why your here, and get out of the bushes." I jumped, I hadn't expected her to notice.

"Okay!"Angel skipped over to the girl.

"Angel!" I hissed, "What are you doing?!"

"Don't worry Max. It's okay we can trust her."I sighed. Angel would have noticed if she was evil or something right? The rest of us warily came out.

"That's Max, Iggy, Fang, Nudge, Gasman, and I'm Angel," she pointed out each of us to the girl, beaming.

"Misty." She smiled back at Angel.

"OMG! Is that a Louis Vuitton?" Nudge squealled.

"Oh, uh yea."

"It's so cute! I wanted one but Max said it was too expensive. How old are you? I'm 12. Max, Iggy, and Fang are all 14, Gazzy is 8, and Angel is 7. I love your necklace! Who gave it to you? Do you have a boyfriend? I don't. Your hair is like perfectly straight! Is it natural? If not what kind of straightner did you use? Can I borrow it? My hair is way too curly, I can barely comb it. Do you-" Iggy put his hand over her mouth before she could talk us all to death.

"Actually Max, Fang and Iggy are all 15 now. And Gazzy is 9." Whaaaaat? Since when?"Your birthday was seven months ago we just never celabrated any of ours," Angel said reading my mind. By now Nudge had managed to pry Iggy's fingers apart.

"So?"She looked at Misty. Misty, who had been looking a little creeped out previously, laughed.

"I'm 13, my uncle gave me this necklace, I don't have a boyfriend, my hair is naturally straight, and I don't think you should straighten your hair anyways. It looks good curly. My turn. Why are you here?"

"Were-"

"Max's Voice told her to come here." Angel interupted me. So much for not trusting strangers.

Its okay Max, you need her.

Why? No answer. Big suprise there. I turned to find the new girl looking at me strangely.

"Yes I have a Voice in my head," I sighed,"We all can do weird things." I opened my wings,"I can fly super fast, Fang can turn invisible, Iggy feels colors, Nudge is magnetic and can feel emotions, Gazzy can mimic voices and...something...else, Angel can read and control minds, breathe underwater, and talk to fish." She blinked.

"Huh. All of you have powers? I can't do anything but fly, and even that only happened in the past month. How long have you had your wings? Do you know how they got there? 'Cuz I have no idea." We all stared at her incredulously.

"We've had our wings forever," Nudge was the first to speak,"the evil scientist mixed our DNA with the avian kind. Have you ever heard of the School?" she shook her head no, "Itex?"she nodded.

"Yeah, that's the company that made my laptop." There was no time to question that further because right at that moment, Total walked into the clearing.

"I wake up and everyone's gone! I thought you had left me behind! Then I noticed your packs and I find you here talking to some random person! Now the least you could do is make me breakfast, something good none of that protien bar crap." Amazingly, Misty didn't even look suprised.

Misty POV

The dog talks. Of course. I had really lost the ability to be suprised today, right after the part about mind control.

"We're sorry Total. We needed someone to stay and watch the camp, you being such a great watch dog and all," the little one, Angel, soothed the dog who was apparently named Total.

"How about we find the nearest town. I'll pay for breakfast," I said hoping they wouldn't mind staying with me. I didn't like being alone and they seemed to know so much more about the whole wings thing than me.

"Are you sure you can pay for that? We all eat a ton."

"I'm sure." I asured Max, who seemed to be the leader. I pulled out my wallet and flipped through the hundred dollar bills inside it.

"Are you like rich or something?" Nudge asked.

"Uh..."

"Because you have really expensive stuff. Like those jeans! They're adorable! How much did they cost? I want a pair!"

"Nudge!"someone hissed, i didn't bother to turn and see who it was,"Don't be rude!"

"Sorry."

"It's okay. Come on, Let's go find somewhere to eat."One by one they all jumped into the air and unfurled their wings. There was absolutly NO WAY I could do that. I had enough trouble jumping out of a second story window.

"Aren't you coming?" Nudge shouted down to me. I held up one finger, the universal sign for hold on one second, and climbed up the tallest tree I could find. once at the top, I jumped off and flapped hard. I finally reached the others after after almost hitting the ground. I felt like a clumsy bowling ball, controled by someone with very bad aim.

The fly to look for food was totally embarassing. Everyone took turns giving me pointers on how to fly better. It really helped but I didn't want to have to go through that again.

"IHOP!" Gazzy cried, triunphant. We'd placed bets on who would find a restaurant first, winner gets all of the candy in everyone elses bag.

"Here." Iggy threw a chocolate bar at him, hitting him on the head.

"Hey!" Gazzy frowned. I laughed.

"Come on let's go eat."

I just realized that I called the last chapter "chapter 3" even though it was chapter 2. So this is the real chapter 3. Reveiw Please :]
