Ari POV

Unfortunately, we are the most dramatic family of bird-kids in the history of bird-kids. So, of corse all freaking hell broke loose . . . NOT! See, that is what you think you would happen but that is not one bit true, it was quite the opposite of hell. Everyone -- besides Max's flock -- took their wings out as a defence mechanism. Making almost inch of the yard covered in bird-kid wing, hence the angel, and then we have heaven. The full moon suddenly shined down upon us as the only cloud in the sky unleashed the full force of it's brightness.

Sam stepped forward cautiously and -- without tripping -- made her way over to her mother. Dr. M -- as I wished to call her -- had her hand clenched around her mouth, her eyes were wide, and tears started to brim over. She took Sam in what looked like a bone crushing hug. And everything looked right. The world was saving itself. Now everyone out there is like, WTF?! I'm not saying that this is the way we're trying to save the world, it's just a form. This form is like, stick-together-in-tough-times or family-matters-most, but we're saving it like: stop-evil-scientists-from-blowing-up-the-world-and-killing-almost-all-of-the-population or save-dying-expirements or ( the easiest ) stop-global-warming. Yeah, we had to do all that.

I looked around and noticed that Dr. M was crying and Sam was still hugging her, Max ( smiling ) and Fang ( smirking ) went back to the others hand-in-hand. Alex and Payne looked awkward, and decided to walk forward. Followed by their flock, they all hugged or shook hands with Dr. M, me in the rear. She smiled a motherly smile and her eyes were the same as Max and Sam's. I smiled back. For a second, I felt completly safe and loved. Then I remembered that I was, unfortunatly, a mutant-bird-kid, with no idea who her parents are.

I sighed and walked over to her rose bush, the one Magnolia was in, and saw it withering. I smiled, at least there were a few things I was good at. I looked around and found that all of her plants were dying. " Dr. M, don't you ever water these?" I asked incredolus.

"I try, but there are so many animals at the clinic these days. I can't keep up with everything." she said, looking around at her dying front yard.

Sare perked up immediatly, as did I, and we asked at the same time. " Need any help?" We looked at each other, a little strangely, and shrugged. There was a gasp, from Jason I think, but my mind was elsewhere. I wanted to help Dr. M with her garden and her vet office.

"Always, but do you two know anything about animals?" she looked skeptical, I knew that I didn't have anything to worry about. Sare looked pleased too, maybe she had a power up her sleeve too.

Then, I really looked at her. She had the same hair I had, exactly the same color. Though, mine were in layers, and she had dark red highlights in the sun and the side bangs, while I had straight. And we had the same shape and color freckles, though in different places. When she smiled, she had my dimples. Her nose had the same bridge. Eyes the same shape. When Sare spoke, we almost had the same voice. She was looking at me in exactly the same way, she'd figured it out too. So, if that were true, did she have the same powers? I was about to find out. But then she winked at me and said, " Let's show her sister." She grabbed my hand and lifted it up, like I always do with both. I felt power singe my fingertips. Then, came the fun part.

" Squirrels!" she said, in a dreamy voice ( no not that kind of dreamy you pervs ).

" Raccons!" my voice had taken on the same quality.

" Cougar!"

" Any special requests." she asked our small audience. They were all watching us intentally.

Max said Eagle. Rob said Bear. Hawk, Fang. Deer, Nudge. Rabbit, Angel. Skunk, Gazzy. " Eagle!" Sare said.

" Bear!" I winked at Rob.

" Hawk!"

" Deer!"

" Rabbit!"

Oh, so I had to get stuck with the, " Skunk!"

" Owl!" Sare said, and we both fell to our knees.

" Come." We whispered. A burst of wind burst through the clearing. Dust formed from the dirt, and no one could see. We were being suspended in the air, farther up than I'd ever been -- when my wings are completly useless -- and we dropped suddenly. Something went wrong, the gust of wind came too strong, and Sare hand was wrenched from mine. I stayed suspended in the air, I'd taken my wings out as soon as the rough wind had almost knocked me out of the sky. Sare fell, wings in, from 100 feet in the air. I cleared my head as fast as I could. It wasn't fast enough. I heard someone shout no.

I swooped down and landed, there was a horde of animals surrounding Sare, and they wouldn't move. Jason shouted no again. I felt deathly ill. " Back." The three squirrels, two raccons, cougar, black bear, seven hawks, a buck, a doe, a foul, three rabbits, and a skunk retreated. I fell to my knees again, the sight was horrible. Even though I knew she had landed on her back. The faded pink scar was now an open gash and it was trinkling into her mouth, her eyes were closed, her wing was poking out of her back at an odd angle. Sam rushed forward and also shouted no. " Protect." came from my mouth and I knew that the animals would look for whoever did this.

I stiffeled a gasp, but I heard Fang too, and Max. There was two gashes of red leaking through Fang's shirt, where his scars were. Max had a bullet whole through her wing and shoulder blade, but through Nudge's fallen compact mirror. I saw Max the Eraser. Then, I fainted. The scar Ari had gave me all those years ago was suddenly open. The animals were scouting the forest.
