Chapter 17

Night POV

My feet finally stopped moving, and the reality came to me. I can go to the real world, or heaven. My brain said real world, but my body was saying heaven.

Fire.. Mom.. Dad.. Hope.. Iggy.. Gazzy.. Devil.. Angel.. Nudge.. Ash.. Rain.. Dylan.. Claws.. I thought, seeing a I turn of each in my mind.I CANT LEAVE! I forced my feet to move, I walked at first, then ran. I felt scratches on my face, when I pushed through the thorns, but I thought about how Fire needed me.

Notice how I didn't think about Storm?

I woke up, screaming. I had seen horrible things, but that was the WORST dream I had ever had in my life. I looked down. I had a few cuts and bruises, and bumps. I looked at my shoulder, it was stained red, and I could feel the infection. I tried to move it but pain stuck through me, and I screamed again. I saw Mom and Dad rush up to me.

"My shoulder is infected. I can smell the infection. Mom, what happened? How long was I out?"

"Night, how do you feel?You were passed out for about 2 days, then you started running in your sleep, and screaming."

I glanced down. Mom had a wedding ring, and so did Dad. My eyes widened. Dad smirked, and came up and hugged me, kissing my forehead, I hugged him back, but the pain in my shoulder increased, and I whimpered. Suddenly I jumped up, remembering Hope, who was pregnant.

"Hope? Where's Hope?"

I said panicking. Mom came up to me and patted my back.

"It's okay, they're at a camp about twenty seconds away from here."

I calmed a bit. I extended my wings, wincing when I saw the blood crusted feathers. I tried to flap, but it didn't work, all the blood crested feathers fell out. I gasped when I saw the wound. It looked awful, with puss oozing out of it, and I had just lost a 12th of my feathers. I felt dizzy, and I stumbled on my own feet.

"I.. Didn't I have bone breaks?"

I asked after screaming for a few minutes.

"Those all healed before you woke back up, honey, we tried to move you to a hospital, but we are about twenty miles from one. We decided to wait until you woke up to go."

I realized Dad had been a lot quieter these days. Mom got up, and walked into the woods. I stood up and tried to follow her, but my father grabbed my hand. I turned around, and he smiled at me, and shook his head.

"You've grown into a beautiful woman."

He said, love in his eyes. I smiled back. Mom came back, the flock following her, tails were swishing, and everyone was looking at me, concerned. I looked at my feet, I felt embarrassed.

"Guys, we have to go to the hospital. It's worse than we expected."

Mom said immediately.

"Let me feel"

Iggy said. I took my shirt off, thankfully I was wearing my undershirt. He felt the wound on my shoulder, and I cried out. The pain was unbearable, even just by Iggy brushing against it. Mom came up behind me and held my hand. I still wanted to zip my wings back in, but when he felt my shoulder it wasn't so bad. I still winced, but Mom squeezed my hand.

"It's infected, no type I have ever seen. It's worse than I thought it could be. We need to head over."

Iggy said. Everyone's faces hardened.

"Which way?"

I asked. Dad pointed east. I took off using my super speed, and ignored the gut wrenching pain in my shoulder. Sorry I called over my shoulder. Suddenly I felt a bar whiz past my ear. I looked back.

No!

I just kept running, away from the erasers. The erasers with the flock's CLOTHES ON. I should have known Dad would never compliment me like that… I kept running, until the hospital came into view, I ran around it, then a giant group of erasers landed around me, in a circle.

My wing, I can't fly, I can't fight because of my shoulder, dam you whoever shot me!

I just crouched, and summoned up my strength, then I felt the darkness jump in. My hands had black whisps of smoke curling off of them. I could feel myself gently rise. I raised my fists, and 2 giant smoke fist appeared before me, I smashed them onto the ground, it opened up, and the earth quaked. The erasers were strewn all over the place. I snapped my fingers and the ground closed up. I concentrated, and a portal rose before me.

New York.

I thought, and entered the portal, I came out in Central Park, in the forest. I was still floating, and my energy was still high, I could break anything, summon anything, do almost anything. I try to never use this power, but I was hyped, and ready to take on anything.

Where should I go first? I want to find Fire, but the flock needs help. I wonder where they are…

I made my self invisible, and floated out of the forest. I felt the black magic curl and twist around my arms. I looked around, but nobody looked familiar. The darkness was trying to take over my mind, but I could fight it off. It fed off of anger, but I made myself calm. I continued floating around the city, but once the sun set I found an alleyway and settled down for the night.

I woke up the next morning, my wing screaming with pain.

Maybe I can use darkness to heal my wing.

I tried, and my wing and shoulder were as good as new right after.

This feels great!

I summoned my powers, floated, and turned invisible. I floated out of the alleyway, and down 28th street. I looked all over the place, but no sign of Fire, or the flock.

Where are you? Mom? Dad?

I thought, the distress getting to me. I stopped and got my head together, the darkness already trying to break in. I pushed it away as usual. I finally came across an alley, and landed. I reappeared, and walked through and out onto another street. I walked into a restaurant and turned invisible again. I walked into the kitchen, and looked at all the different dishes, and I finally decided on two inchalada plates, four large nachos, and a whole cheesecake as a dessert. It took the food, and ate out back. Just as I got up after I finished, two guys who smelled like cigarettes and ancho walked up to me.

"Hey, pretty lady? Come over here. I know you want some."

The brunette one stuttered,his words slurring. His chocolate brown eyes flashing. The black haired one with black eyes stumbled towards me, and reached for my chest. I just spread my wings.

"I'm here to take you away."

I growled, the darkness making smoke come out of my hands. The guys looked terrified, and stumbled away. I brought my wings back in and turned to walk out of the alley when a voice called out from behind me.

"Hey! You! Come back here! Aren't you Zayn Jackson?!"

I whirled around, and saw a cameraman yelling at a guy who was walking away from him, fast.

This is interesting.

I used my powers to float again, and turned invisible. I floated faster and followed the guy who was running away from a line of reporters. He ran all the way to Central Park, and into the forest. I kept watch and kept following him. All the reporters had given up. He came out onto a clearing, looked around, and took the jacket off.

Oh my god.. He is HOT!

Under that jacked was the hottest guy I have ever seen. He had hair so blond it was almost white, and the iciest blue eyes I have ever seen. I remained invisible, and kept floating. He turned around, and called out 'I'm back!'. I saw two other Just-As-Hot guys emerge. I looked closer.

'Fire?'

'Night?'

I turned visible again and dropped down, and ran to Fire. I hugged him, and the other two just stood there with their jaws open.

'Who's the hot blue one?'

Was the first thing I thought to him.

'Why? Do you have a crush on him?'

'Yeah! I wouldn't be asking if I didn't.'

"Dude? Who's the hot dark hair chick?"

The other guy asked his arms crossed. He had jet black hair like mine, but he had black eyes, I have blue eyes. I glanced at the hot guy. He was staring at me.

'That's Zayn, and the other one is Caleb.'

Fire thought to me.

"This is Night, my sister. The girl I talked about."

Fire told them. I let go of Fire, and stood with my black wings slightly extended so they would stop the wind from blowing on me. I looked at them, they stared at me.

"Are you a star, Zayn?"

"Yeah, a super star, I sing."

I looked at Fire and Caleb.

"Are you guys stars too?"

"Yes, I sing as well, and Caleb hosts a tv show."

"And you've managed to keep your wings a secret this whole time?"

They all nodded. I sighed.

"You guys want dinner? I found a really good Mexican place!"

I said trying to lighten the mood. They all looked a little happier. They all jumped up spread their wings, and looked at me. Caleb had grey, brown and black wings. I brought up my darkness powers and floated up with them. I still didn't trust my wing, so I guess I will just use my darkness. I yawned as I rose into the air. The guys gasped, this time Fire gasped too.

"What's wrong? I can control darkness! Why are you staring at me?!"

Zayn handed me a pocket mirror. When I saw that I now had giant fangs. I dropped the mirror, but used my powers to get it to float back to Zayn. I dropped down to the ground, let the darkness go, and felt in my mouth.

I still have those giant fangs. Could this be a side effect of me healing myself with darkness?

I outwardly shrugged, and acted like I didn't care. I summoned the darkness again, and we were on our way.

'Night? I'm sorry… I shouldn't have left you…'

'It's okay, I just got shot, went to heaven, chose to come back to life, tried to heal the wound with dark magic, now I look like this. No prob.'

'When did you have the power of dark magic?'

'Since we were born. I just never used it except for at Jebs and now.'

'Oh, okay.'

Then I felt Zayn and Caleb fly up beside me. They gave each other looks, when neither of them left. They both just flanked me.

'Watch out, looks like you've got TWO guys hitting on you.'

'Well maybe I am only interested in one of them.'

I looked down, trying to forget this awkward situation, when I saw them. I saw Iggy's head first, then I stopped and followed him with my eyes. He broke into an alley, where Mom was being tackled by an eraser. I dived down and used my powers to kill it. It fell on top of her. The flock looked stunned, but I just turned and floated back to the group we had. When I got there I just turned and led them to the Mexican restaurant. When we got there there was a crowd of reporters following us in, but we just sat down, and ordered our meal. The guys were showing off, flashing smiles, and letting the camera get their best sides. I covered my face with my black hair, and tried to get them to ignore me, but of course it didn't work. Tons of cameras were in my face, and I was ignoring all the people who were asking questions. Eventually they realized I wasn't budging, so they went and asked Fire everything, and get this! He told them EVERYTHING! That I was his 'twin' sister. And how I was 18 just like him. Zayn is 19 and Caleb is 18, so basically, Zayn is the leader. Once the reporters were done, we discussed what to do next.

"We should go to Hollywood, that could be somewhere we could try."

Caleb decided.

"What? Are you trying to find something?"

I asked.

"Yeah, Maximum Ride. I have some unfinished business with her."

"What did she do to you?"

I asked, some anger building up.

"That b**** killed my brother, Ari."

I got up summoned my powers and picked threw him against the far wall using my giant smoke fist.

"YOU DO NOT CALL MY MOTHER A *****! I should kill you, but I have more sanity, and I am not a cold blooded killer."

I growled the last part. Then I dropped him, he fell on the floor, panting. I sat back down.

"We're going to Hollywood, right?"

I asked, Fire and Zayn nodded. Zayn was staring at me like I was a piece of meat, and he had starved for two weeks. Fire was shocked that I did that.

'Why did you do that?!'

He mind shouted at me.

'Nobody calls my mother a *****! And wasn't Ari Moms little brother?'

'Yes. He was. Now what are we gonna do about Zayn, he is pretty much deeply in love with you.'

'He is? Well once I get to know him I could fall in love.'

'I forgot to ask, when I was gone, how did Storm treat you?'

I felt myself wince. I glanced at my feet.

'Fine.'

I replied.

"Caleb, I'm sorry. It's just when-"

I was interrupted by the doors of the restraunt opening, and the flock walking in. I heard Caleb snarl, and try to sneak up on them, but Mom was better than that. She met his face with her fist, and the flock got into fighting positions. I felt the darkness in me rise. Just as Caleb was rising to use his powers I used the giant hand to separate him from the flock. I stood up, still controlling the hand, I could feel myself floating. The flock gasped. Then Storm created a similar hand, mine was made of black smoke, his was made of light. He smacked my hand away from the flock, and started growling.

"Traitor! I knew it!"

I felt Fire and Zayn come up behind me. Zayn put his hand on my shoulder. Then Storm tried to shoot us with lightning bolts. I just simply created a force field. I used my other hand to create a hidden portal.

Hollywood

I shoved the three guys through. And I turned back to the flock.

"We thought you died! How did you get here?"

Angel said.

"I am not a traitor Storm. Angel, I never died, and I created a portal. We are heading to Hollywood. Have fun in New York!"

I called the last part as the portal closed around me. I dropped out of the portal, only to see a fist come towards my face. My fast reflexes caught the fist before it could touch me.

"What was that?!"

I yelled at the red faced Caleb.

"That was me teaching you a lesson, you idiot! I had a chance to get even!"

He punched me in the stomach, and I doubled over, my mind crowded with anger, and I summoned the darkness. I used my powers to clutch his stomach, and he fell over screaming, I growled and let go.

"Why would you hit me after we just met?!"

I yelled at him. Then Zayn came up behind me and grabbed my arms. I looked around.
