Yo,

Yes, i have updated. Finally. (I was resisting because i wasn't sure whether i was going to change the chapter or not) You can all thank GreenNIghtRose who convinced me that i should post it. So, i did because... Well... think of this as my present to you guys.

I'm still iffy on Ideas guys. I'm welcome to suggestions, even they are just a simple scene. A Chase and Indi scene or a fighting scene. Please, please give me some ideas so i can hopefully try and get back on a roll. Once I'm on a roll, i will most definity be able to update quicker. :)

Also, I have a question for you guys. How powerful do you want Max to be? Remember she has been saving the world for 15 years after Dr. Mandock's 'Death'.

Fly On...

Indi: The Hunting Falcon

Chapter 5: Trick or Truth

Fang POV

My eyes flew open as I felt the rush come to me. I didn't move. I simply closed my eyes and let myself take it all. I knew instantly this wasn't the usual disaster Max and I had to save the world from.

From the strength of the feeling it was something very important. Rarely do I get feeling that wake me up in the middle of the night.

Fear. Lots of it. Adrenalin. Worry. Four sets of those feelings. Two female, two male. One of the females also had a sense of determination and tactical planning. An obvious leader.

Max maybe? No this person didn't have the knowledge and training Max did.

I also felt joy, anger, and rage from at least twenty different feeling sets. Someone also had tactical planning and determination, again an obvious leader.

None of them were human.

I sat up without thinking, but then instantly remembered Max was beside me. She rolled away from me spreading her wings slightly, before closing them again.

I put my head in my hands and thought through the future feelings.

They all had this knowledge, greater than the average human. They were fighting, but the group of four were losing. I shifted through all the emotions. The group of four were surprised. The other raging twenty were glad.

A trap. An ambush.

Hang on, the group of four. I've felt them before. Their feelings. But where…?

Here. I've felt them here.

I snapped my head up, feeling dread pulse through my veins.

Indi, Chase, Gale and Vel.

They weren't here. Judging by Indi's reaction to the letter, I knew they were going to leave at some point. In the next few days perhaps, but I didn't predict that they would leave tonight.

Nor did I predict that they were in to an ambush.

Oh god.

"Max."

Max shot awake yanking Giniw from under her pillow. I was quick to grab her wrist before she was going to stab me. Max met my gaze and relaxed. I let go of her hand, but I couldn't smile. Max frowned sensing the tension quickly.

"It's Indi," I said quickly.

She didn't hesitate. Max shot out of the bed faster than lightning, whipping open the door.

I swung my legs around to the side, standing up. I winced slightly as my sore leg protested. It always hurt worse in the morning. Always. Through I was used to the pain now, it didn't mean it didn't hurt any less.

I limped over to the door, slipping out and closing it behind me. I crossed the hallway to Indi's room.

Max stood in the centre of the room, biting her nails with her spare hand around her torso. She stood there staring around at Indi's empty room.

"She's gone," Max whispered, her voice barely audible.

I exited the room and limped as quickly as I could to Gale's room down the hall. "GALE!"

I yanked the door open, but swore running a hand through my hair. Empty. The room was as black as night, almost as if it had lost any evidence of human presence.

"Fang?"

I turned around. Max exited Indi's room holding a note. Divine's note.

I straightened up in realisation. Indi was going to Divine's place and she was going to be ambushed before she reaches there.

Max looked up at me, utter fear creeping across her face. "It's a trap."

"I know," I whispered walking over. "Indi, Gale, Chase and Vel are going to be ambushed on their way…"

Max bit her lip. "No, Fang. It's… I can't believe I didn't see this."

She shoved the letter into my hands. "Read it."

xoxoxo

"The Capital letters," Max murmured.

I froze.

'Its a trap dont come'.

"Mummy?"

Max and I spun around to Luna. Her door was slightly open and she had a worried look on her face as she rubbed her eye with one hand.

Naturally, Max bent down and picked Luna up. She held her close as if afraid to lose her. Luna gave her mother a confused sleepy look, but closed her eyes as she lent her head on Max's shoulder.

"Who?" I said.

Max bobbed Luna up and down to try and lull her to sleep. "I don't know Fang but we have to warn Indi. Wake up Blaze, Nudge and Iggy, I'll find Nova."

Indi POV

By time the sun just began to peak over the horizon, I could see America. The hills were incredible. I'd never seen anything like them, except on movies and in photos. A beautiful sunrise the outlined the mountains of California.

This was amazing.

Why would Mum hide me from something like this? This was incredible.

Velvet zoomed passed me in a swirling dive. "THIS IS AWESOME!"

I laughed as I watched her swerved up and beat her wings to rise again. I continued to fly at a steady pace as we began to pass over onto land.

I have so little memories of America. I learn most of it watching movies and reading stories. But the only times I have really stepped foot into America is 6 times staying at Divine's place and whenever the flock have to go to hospital.

Chase tapped my wing with his. "Come on. Pick a song."

Oh yeah, right. We were playing guess the song. I grinned.

I started to hum a song. Chase listened for a few notes, before his eyes brightened slightly. "How Far We've Come by Matchbox 20!"

Chase was good. "Dam," I mumbled.

A proud grin appeared on his face. "Ok, ok, my turn."

Chase hummed. I knew it instantly. "Raise Your Glass, Pink!"

Gale sighed. "This is why I never play. You two read each other like you can read minds."

I rolled my eyes at Gale's dreary voice. He almost sounded like Eeyore. "Would you like a go Gale?"

"No, no, don't mind me. You two stay in your little world. Pretend I'm just a fly on the wall."

Gale smirked in a suggestive way. My face narrowed and before Gale could do anything, I flicking a ball of blue flame, hitting him square on the head.

"OW!"

"I know right?" Chase said casually. "Those things kill."

Oh, I know Chase. I know.

Indi the Ninja was a killing machine.

"THIS IS THE BEST DAY EEVVVEEERRR!" Vel shouted as she zoomed overhead. She pulled up in front of me, grinning like a madman.

"Indi," Velvet cried. "We HAVE to do this again."

"I totally…"

We all stopped flying.

"Do you hear that?" Gale asked.

No one said anything.

A call. It was one of Nova's calls.

Nova was giving a call. It could travel all across the world. Almost like a radio signal, but specific people.

This one wasn't a normal Nova call. Dad had a future feeling. One where we were going to be ambushed. They want us to come back to the island.

My lips tightened and my fist curled up. Chase's eyes narrowed from the way we came.

Gale looked at me. "They want us back."

"It's a trick," Chase said. "It has to be."

I was silent for a bit. If Dad had a vision, then we could be in a lot of trouble. Dad's feelings usually occurred when something was about to change radically. That at that point, when Dad gets his feelings, nothing was ever going to be the same.

A dramatic power Dad's got.

But it could be a lie. Who would ambush us? As far as I knew, only people in the flock (and Grandma and Grandpa) knew us kids existed.

"No one knows we exist," I said carefully, judging my words. "How could there be an ambush when we are invisible people?"

Vel hummed and nodded in agreement. Gale's face was guarded and clear of emotion, but his eyes were sharp, a clear sign he was unsure about the whole thing.

Chase was on my side. I looked at him and he stared right back at me.

Maybe Gale was right. Maybe Chase and I did have some interlinking power. Because we knew exactly what each other was thinking.

It had to be a trick.

"Let's keep going," Chase said stiffly. "They're just trying to trick us."

"THERE! I see it!" Velvet cried.

I looked out. On a hill beside the ocean, there was Di's house. It was a massive house. Natural forest surrounded it and a magnificent view over the Pacific Ocean. Ella and Louis apparently helped out with Mum and Dad's job. They must earn a lot to 'cause they owned nearly the whole mountain. They didn't use any of it. Just kept it as national park.

And their car was there. That was a sign they were home.

"Let's head down!" I shouted.

I dived, the others on my tail. I zoomed up the drive way before flapping my wings to slow me down, my feet carefully touching the ground.

I turned around to watch Gale pull up, his black wings with a blue shine. Vel pulled up third her wings that pale tan colour. Then finally Chase his darker tanned wings with a hit of aurban.

My wings were boring compared to theirs. Grey, Blah!

I walked over and jogged up the steps onto the veranda.

The door was open.

I pushed it open. "Hello?"

The phone started ringing.

I frowned pushing the door open. Everything was strangely quiet. The past couple of times I had been here, Cheater would run up screaming my name.

Maybe they were out the back.

"Is anyone home?" Chase asked appearing behind me.

I walked along the hall. The phone was still ringing.

I entered the lounge room and gasped.

What a mess.

Everything was tipped over, torn, ripped or shattered. The couched were pushed back. The walls were cracked. Even the woven carpet had been torn in two and thrown over the broken dining table.

"Hi. You've reached Ella and Louis Martinez…"

"What the hell happened here?" Gale asked breaking the silence.

"We aren't home right now, but if you leave a message, we'll get back to you as soon as we can."

"We're are they?" Velvet asked gripping my arm.

I was silent. My mind seemed to have a mind of its own, analysing every little detail of the room. I came to several conclusions, but one seemed to dominate over the rest.

An immediate sense of danger rippled over my skin.

BEEP!

"INDI!"

I snapped my head to the phone staring at it. Mum?

"Indi? If you can hear me! Get out of the house, NOW!"

Velvet screamed.
