Hey people and welcome to Chapter 10 of my story, Iggy experiment. To everyone who answered my questions, thanks you I will post your answers at the very bottom. And since this was asked, the question about Team Jacob or Edward was from my curios mind that thinks the teams are totally confusing. I mean, on one hand if you like the guy you pick his team but on the other, why pick his team you want him to be with you, not Bella.
Anyways, there are not really any new characters in this story. So I don't own Max's flock, Rebel's flock (besides her), Sage and JJ.
Iggy's POV
Bel was really distracted after lunch she wasn't paying attention. I caught up to her before she could leave. "Bel, why are you acting like this?"
She kept walking not bothering to look at me. "I'm not acting like anything."
"Fine if you're not acting like anything, what was last period?" She stopped.
"It was Reading?" she stated it as a question.
I shook my head. "It was Math."
"I was just playing with you, I knew it was Math." She started walking again.
I grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Something's going on with you, so tell me, what's wrong?"
She looked like she was debating whether to tell me or not. "I'll tell you in the bus."
I nodded before she walked away to her next class.

Rebel's POV
I walked away from him, almost running to my next class.
As soon as I waked in I took a seat at the front. About a minute later Nick came in. He looked at me but didn't say anything.
He sat beside me and set his backpack down. The bell rang and the teacher walked in. "Hello kids I'm Mr. Graham, welcome to Language Arts."
I mentally cursed myself for forgetting Reading was my last class. I knew Nick was looking at me. I thought about how I could get him to stop. I didn't want to make a mental link with him and reveal myself. Oh wait, I can say I'm his Voice. Would he believe that? I decided not to risk it and just opened my journal. I wrote on the page "Stop starring at me" and passed it when Mr. G wasn't looking. He read it and replied.
I got it and looked at it; it said "How did you know?"
I replied. "I feel it."
He looked at it but wasn't able to respond because Mr. G saw it. "Isobel, I would appreciate if you paid attention. I blushed. "Sorry Mr. G."
He nodded and went back to writing on the board. I looked at Nick and I saw the look in his eyes, we weren't done talking.
The rest of the period consisted of the students answering questions about each-other.
I got out with Nick. "Look I have to talk to Max."
He nodded. "I know she told me to get the kids home and she'd see us at home."
I stopped. "Could you do me a favor? Don't let my siblings off of the bus until they get to the bus stop. I don't want them to interrupt."
He shrugged and mumbled a sure before leaving me alone. "Max is in the football field."
I stopped in my tracks. This was a girl's voice. "You're not the Voice. Who are you?"
She giggled. "I'm Angel. Ask Max she'll tell you."
Angel, the little girl who's probably Ariel, I told her about the Director before I died.
I walked out back and stopped at the door. I checked my watch it was 3:34, the bus was about to leave. "Hey Ig, I'll be home later I have something to do. Just go home, please.
He replied. "I deserve an explanation."
I sighed. "You do but for that I need answers. Keep up your mind blocks"
I cut off the mental link before he could argue. I opened the doors that lead outside. Max was standing in the middle of the field, staring at me.
She didn't say anything so I spoke first. "Are you going to explain this or are you going to avoid the truth?"
She looked at me but didn't say anything. I continued. "You're not human that much I know. What I don't know is what you are so tell me what are you?"
She sighed. "First I have to know that I can trust you."
I nodded. "Okay how do I that?"
She didn't answer because she didn't have one.
Finally, I sighed and reached into my pocket. I walked to her and grabbed her arm. She looked at me but didn't say anything. I placed the object in her hand. She looked at it then spoke. "What is this?"
I ran my fingers through my hair. "It was my brother's. Not Ig, my real brother. My biological twin brother, it's the only thing I had left that belonged to him. We both had one" I pulled my chain from around my neck.
She looked at me. "What happened to him?"
I closed my eyes. "He's dead, murdered actually right in-front of me about twelve years ago."
"But he was just a little kid."
I nodded. "He was but that didn't stop them. His name was Nicholas."
I felt the breeze in my eyes and opened them. Max was standing there showing me her wings. "We're mutants."
I smiled. "I guess that means you're The Flock?"
She looked shocked. "How?"
I lied to her face. "You have six people in your family. All young, the little girl's a mind-reader. She told me you were here. Jag's eyes turned purple and I kinda saw his fangs. What is he, part tiger?
She grinned and nodded. "Five percent, actually."
I closed my eyes and got serious. If I had to act like a normal girl I had to sell it. "What happened to Iggy?"
I opened my eyes and saw the tears that were forming in her eyes. "He was killed exactly one year ago. They kidnapped him and he sacrificed himself for us. He let us live while he and the girl he fell for died."
He fell for me. I stayed where I was and asked. "Who was the girl?"
Max smiled remembering. "Her name was Rebel. Before she died she told Angel everything, who killed them to be exact."
I could feel tears forming in my eyes. "Did you catch the person who killed them?" If they caught the Director maybe I can reveal myself to her.
She shook her head. "We're still looking for her."
I opened my eyes. "What was her name?"
She laughed bitterly. "She was the Director, also known as Marian Janssen."
So that was her name. "Do you have any idea where she could be?"
She shook her head. "Last we heard Germany."
I took a step towards her. "I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm sorry."
She shook her head. "It's okay. Iggy wouldn't want us to be like this, he would want us to be happy."
I nodded. "Yeah he would." I looked up, it was getting dark. "I should probably get home. It's getting late."
She looked up, and then turned to me. "Do you have a way home?"
I nodded and went over to a bush. I pulled out my skateboard. "I always leave it here just in case."
She turned to leave but I stopped her. "Hey Max, I was wondering if your family wanted to come over on Saturday were going to have a pool party."
She hesitated. "I don't know. Who'll be there?"
I thought about it. "Um, my family, that's Sky, Eli and Ig. I invited Tony, Sage and JJ. So not that many people and just wear a T-Shirt to cover your wings no one will notice or think it's weird I always wear one."
She still didn't answer. "Oh, come on Max. Crystal said she wanted to go and I'm sure Ariel and Zephry would like it."
She sighed. "If they want to go I guess I'll have no choice. They'll probably use Bambi eyes."
I raised an eyebrow. "Bambi eyes?"
She walked away. "Don't ask."

I opened the door to the house and walked in quietly trying not to make a sound. I set my backpack down and Anne came in followed by Iggy.
"Isobel, where were you? I was so worried." I walked to the kitchen where Eli and Sky were sitting.
I closed my eyes and set my head on the table. "I'm fine Anne, I was just hanging out with a new friend."
She sighed obviously not believing my story. "Okay, are you hungry?"
I nodded. "Starving."
Iggy set a plate in front of me. "There."
I didn't look at him. "Thanks."
I looked at Anne. "Hey Anne can I invite a couple of my friends over on Saturday and have a small party."
She nodded. "Sure but please." She looked at Iggy. "Try not to jump of the balcony again."
He nodded. "I'll try."
I finished eating and headed to my room. "Goodnight."
I walked over to my door but was stopped when I heard a voice. "Rebel, I need to talk to you."
I turned around but didn't look up. "Look Iggy, I'm sorry I didn't give you any answers but I've had a long day and I don't feel like explaining anything." I turned back to my door and pushed it open.
Before I could close the door he stopped it. "Look Bel. Fine, don't give me answers but at least don't ignore me."
He walked in and led me to my bed. I closed my eyes and put my head in his shoulder. "I'm sorry, about everything. It's my fault you lost your family."
"Rebel, that wasn't your fault. It was theirs, they made me choose, you gave me the choice that saved them even if they though I died." He hugged me and didn't let go.
"Iggy, I like you and you like me. I love you, really love you, I don't think I could live without you."
He let go of me and smiled. "I could never live without you, either. Remember you are my perfect other half."
I nodded. "I wish I could tell you everything but I can't."
"It's okay." He pressed his lips against mine. We stayed that way for a bit until we had to pull away from lack of oxygen. He leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Just so you know. I love you, too."
He gave me a peck on the lips before walking out. I sat there thinking about everything.
I have to tell him eventually and when I do we'll leave this place, we'll leave our friends to protect them.
But you're safe as long as they don't find out about you. Your suppose too keep Iggy and the flock separated. Not Ignatius Fleming and the Martinez family separated. The Voice responded.
Voice, I can't keep this from them forever and when I do come clean the School will come and kill them maybe even me.
Rebel, this is Iggy's family, his happiness. Just stay for a bit longer, just until you really have to leave.
I sighed. I guess you're right, Voice. It's his happiness and I can't take that away from him.
With that said I went to my closet to change my shirt so one with slits on the back, grabbed my jacket and jumped out of the balcony.

Max's POV
It took about five for me to get home. When I did everyone was waiting for me in the living room.
My mom was looking at me concerned, I just spit it out. "I told her."
Their eyes widened and they all spoke at the same time. "What?"
I closed my eyes and repeated myself. "I told her about us, about the wings, everything. Don't worry we can trust her."
Fang spoke first. "How do you know we can trust her?"
I held up the locket for them to see. "What she gave you jewelry?" Nudge asked.
I shook my head. "She honors family. She would do anything to protect them and to protect tem she'll keep quiet."
Mom spoke up. "How can we be sure, honey?"
I thought about it for a second. "She invited us over Saturday." I held up the locket. "This locket was her brothers, her real brother. One that was murdered at about three years of age."
Angel spoke up. "I think we can trust her. I can't really read her mind but what I do get is that she does love her family."
"Yeah Max. Angel's right she does love them." Jag spoke up but there was something he wasn't saying.
I looked at him suspiciously. "Is there something else you know?"
He shook his head. "No, well I don't know. When we were in the patio she was thinking about her brother Nicholas but when I started talking to her and told her about Iggy she was shocked at the fact that he died a year ago. That's when she asked for his name, when she pulled back I thought it was about the fangs because, you know, who wouldn't be shocked by them. I honestly haven't met anyone that wouldn't be shocked by th-"
I interrupted. "Jag, get to the point."
He nodded. "Yeah sorry, as I was saying. That wasn't why she pulled back she pulled back because she knew, about him."
I shook my head. "How is that possible, she's normal?"
Angel spoke. "How was she acting when you were talking to her?"
I looked at her. "She was acting like none of it shocked her and then she started asking questions about the Director, her name and it we'd caught her yet instead of asking about the wings."
You can trust her Max. The Voice spoke into my head.
"What do you mean I can trust her?" Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. "Sorry. The Voice."
I mean she won't harm you unless it's necessary. It spoke again.
But how did she know about us? I asked it.
That's easy, her guardian is Anne Walked. An FBI Agent, they know all about the School and have been trying to track her down for months.
Why didn't she just tell me this? I asked it.
The voice didn't respond. Great.
I looked back at everyone. "Okay we can trust her."
Fang looked at me. "How did she know?"
I explained. "Her guardian is an FBI Agent trying to track down the Director, I guess that she talks about it with Isobel."
Nudge nodded. "Okay now to more important matters." She turned to me. "We need to go buy swimsuits for Saturday."
Jag looked confused. "What for?"
Angel spoke up. "Max agreed to take us to a party at Isobel's house on Saturday."
Fang raised an eyebrow. "What made you agree so easily?"
I sighed. "I knew they were going to win so might as well let them."
Nudge grabbed my arm. "Come on let's go shopping."
Oh, what did I get myself into?
Will Rebel reveal herself? Should she? If yes, how and when?

I think you should hold off on the confrontation for a tiny bit. They just met each other and it builds suspense if you hold off on it and make them "close calls" on almost being caught.
