Chapter 7! Yay!

The song for this chapter is "The Curse of Curves" By Cute Is What We Aim For

I don't know when I'll update after this, but the story isn't going on hold, don't worry.

"So what have you guys been up to?" That was the first thing out of my mouth; the second was "Are you guys hungry?"

"To the second one, of course, and to the first we have been searching for you." Iggy said while putting his hands on everything in reach. I started gathering things from the cupboards.

"Um, are you cooking?" Gazzy was going to be sorry if he said anything bad about my cooking.

"Yes, get over it."

"At least we know it's Max and not a clone." Fang said. "No one can match her amazing wit."

"Shut up." I grumbled. I put the pasta on the counter and started boiling water. "Ig, can you heat up the sauce?" I turned to make sure he got to the right place before turning back to what I was doing.

The rest of the flock was standing near the table on edge. "You can sit down, you know." I looked at their faces. "No one is going to kill you at the moment." They slowly sat down; and then Nudge launched into one of her famous rants.

I stopped listening when we got to talk of cupcakes and the difference between them and muffins. The flock watched me move through the kitchen, their eyes boring holes in my back.

A couple minutes later Iggy and I presented a heaping pot of spaghetti to the flock.

Fang was the first to take a bite, and he didn't keel over so the rest of the flock dug in. And I literally mean dug in. They shoveled food into their mouths so fast I thought they might throw up. Once they were done I sat down.

"That was actually good Max." Nudge was the first to talk; big surprise.

"Thanks," I said happy I could finally cook. I had taken a class with Renee when I stayed with her.

"Okay, maybe she is a clone." Iggy was going down. I glared at him, but he already had his hands raised in surrender. But Fang just looked at me; I tried to control my blush.

"Max, were sorry we left you." Angel spoke as I picked up the dishes.

"I know sweetie; and I do forgive you. But I'm still angry at you a little bit." I sighed. "Just give me some time okay?"

"Okay," Angel sounded absolutely fine with what I said so looked at the rest. They all looked relived that I had forgiven them.

"How do you live here?" Fang spoke so quietly I almost didn't hear him.

"Um, I live here with my supposed dad." I said awkwardly.

"Dad?!" Nudge pretty much voiced all of their thoughts judging by the looks on their faces. Except Angel.

"Yeah, I used to live with this woman Renee, who took me in when I stumbled onto her porch. But she remarried and wanted to travel which didn't work with my plan so I moved here to her ex-husband, Charlie's house. He He's been really nice." That was the truth; at least I didn't have to lie.

"Who was that guy you were with?" Nudge questioned. This time I couldn't stop my blush.

"That's my boy friend Edward." Angel and Nudge squealed. And I mean squealed. I would have to get my ears checked later.

Fang was gritting his teeth, "How long have you been together?"

"About a year." I kept my answer brief; I didn't want them to ask too many questions about his family.

"I couldn't hear his footsteps at school; I didn't even know he was there." Iggy said. The flock turned towards me. Then the window crashed open and I could hear the flap of wings outside. Oh thank god. I leaped out the window ready for a fight.

The fight was brutal. None of us got hurt to the point of injury but there were some pretty serious bruises on us. The flyboys though had all been buried; as it would suck if a hiker came upon them.

We all collapsed in a heap after panting and worn out, until I spoke.

"Sorry guys but you have to go home now." I wanted them to stay but I didn't know how to explain that to Charlie.

"Awe, please Max?" Angel pleaded, and tried to give me puppy eyes. I closed my own and told her it was Fang's decision. "Fang?" Angel was using every card in her deck to get what she wanted.

"No Angel." Fang was clear. No changing his mind.

They filed out of the house one by one, Angel bringing up the end. I didn't know how this could work out with Edward and all the vampires out to get me. Angel was about a foot shorter than me so she didn't have to stand on tip toes when she hugged me.

"Don't worry Max, everything will work out. Trust me." I stared after her as she left, watching as they continued to the car looking as ordinary as anyone else.

Then I collapsed in my bed as soon as I was in pajamas, and fell fast asleep wondering where Edward was.

Edward was there when I woke up though, and waited patiently for me to get ready for the day. We headed to school together, and I hurried through the parking lot hoping to see the flock there. But I didn't and the day continued as smoothly as it could.

I got my lunch and went to the Cullen's table. Alice and Jasper, had been forced to come to school today although Alice had told me, (in too much detail) that she would rather be home spending "quality" time with Jasper.

Rosalie and Emmet were also there today, sitting on the opposite side of Edward. Alice sat beside him with Jasper on her other side. Edward had a seat pulled out for me closest to him and Rosalie.

We weren't exactly best friends but I'm happy to say that she doesn't hate me now. So I sat next to her glad she wouldn't kill me for it, and looked at the Flock's table. They were all staring at me and my family, with unhappy expressions.

Alice and Jasper were just starting into each other's eyes so I guess Alice wasn't concentrating, or something; because just then some girl in the cafeteria tripped and banged her head on one of the tables. It was something I would do so I was shocked for a moment.

Then Jasper tried to throw himself over the table towards her. Alice and Emmet gripping his arms behind his back in an attempt to stop him. Edward was snarling and positioned in front of me.

Jasper writhed in their arms trying to get to the girl in the crowd of people; who he would have murdered in a second had they let him go.

The flock stood at their table staring at the Cullen's trying to pull Jasper out of the cafeteria, while fighting their own blood lust. I followed them after Edward, worrying about Alice's tiny size compared to frantic Jasper.

Once outside Alice soothed Jasper till he was sitting on the sidewalk with her; her tiny arms around him. No one noticed the flock except me, till it was too late.

Rosalie jumped towards them and Edward stopped her.

"They can't live." She snarled.

"Okay! How about we continue this at home." I tried to get everyone's attention from the problems at hand. Such as Rosalie killing my flock, and Jasper killing the school.

"She's right. Alice." Edward instructed.

"Got it!" She hopped up and loped towards them. She then pulled all of them at once towards the Cullen's cars and made them get in. The Cullen's got in as well as me, and pulled out of the parking lot.

They drove silently but I'm pretty sure Edward and Alice were communicating together. I was trying to focus on anything but the flock and I stared out the window to the forest flying by outside.

We pulled up to the Cullen's house just as Alice snapped her cell phone shut, calling Carlisle. I got out of the car with Edward. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me close, and placed a kiss on top of my head.

The flock was ushered through the door, and pushed towards the couch even thought they wouldn't sit, that much I knew. The Cullen's stood by the stair case filling in a worried looking Esme, when Carlisle came home. Jasper sat with Alice on the stair case with his head on her shoulder. I knew he was the newest to this life style and tried so hard for her.

Then the front door flew open and there stood Angel and Gazzy. Jasper stood, ready to protect their family. But Alice took a quick step towards Angel. Angel looked at her and skipped to her and they gave each other a high five.

Everyone's eyes were on the pair of small girls, Jasper looked on edge thought and I was ready to through my body in front of him if he went for Angel.

Angel continued to the flock and sat down on the couch.

"So we seem to have a problem?" She said calmly.

"We can't have them tell anyone what they saw." Rosalie's voice broke the silence after Angel's question.

"Well, you should know that we wouldn't tell anyone, we have a pretty big secret of our own." Angel was going to die later judging by the look on Fang's face. "Plus no one would believe us." She shot a look towards me.

"How would we know you wouldn't tell anyone?" Carlisle asked.

"How about we tell you our secret, and you tell us yours." Angel said.

"Great!" Alice said excitedly. "You guys go first."

Then angel spilled our lives minus me while being glared at by Fang. "So basically we were made by crazy scientists. Who then tried to destroy us!"

"And you are the only successful experiments?" Carlisle asked.

"Only we and our old leader Max; but she isn't called Max anymore." She said sadly.

"What is she called now?" It was Emmet who talked now.

"She's now called Bella Swan." They all turned towards me.

Great, thanks a lot Angel. All the Cullen's looked shocked; except Alice. Then Total poked his head out of Angel's jacket. I hadn't even noticed him there; and I don't think anyone else did ether. Angel hadn't mentioned him in her explanation.

"Hey Max." He said, nodding towards me. He pushed off of Angel and spread his wings flapped a couple times and landed on my chest, I wrapped my arms around him so he wouldn't fall and he licked my face. I grimaced and wiped my face with my hand.

"He spoke…" Emmet said still shocked.

"Yes, very acute observation." I grumbled.

"Is it true Bella?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes it is true." I sighed, because no army of flyboys had come to fight and saved me from this awkward situation.

"Cool. Can you show us your wings?" Alice asked. I turned to her; she was practically bouncing with excitement.

"Did you see this coming?"

"Of course, I just had to wait." She said it like it was nothing. "I can't wait to go shopping with Angel, Nudge, and you." She grinned. "Were going to have soo much fun."

"Bella," Carlisle began cautiously. "Can I see your wings?" Alice seeing the flock's confused expressions said. "Carlisle is a doctor." They all took a step back instinctively. But I stepped away from Edward who had no expression on his face.

I pulled off my jacket and slid my wings through the slits in my shirt. They stretched, and felt so much better now that they were not pulled tight against my back. I let them relax and rolled my shoulders to get the feathers to realign normally. I gave them a little shake.

Carlisle looked at them with a fascination quite like the scientist's but I knew Carlisle and would and have trusted him with my life. He put his hand forward and stopped asking permission. I nodded and stood still while he brushed his hand lightly over my wing.

"Amazing." He breathed. I looked at the rest of the Cullen's and they all had amazed looks on their faces even Alice.

"They're beautiful." Edward muttered. I folded my wings and stepped back to him and took his hand.

"You just let a doctor touch your wings?" Fang said it as a question.

"Yeah, but its Carlisle." I replied. I knew that we wouldn't let just anyone touch our wings and especially not a doctor.

Fang met my eyes, and I gave him a "Don't worry about me" look; he returned an "I don't trust them" look. I sighed out loud and said, "I know."

Everyone was staring at our odd exchange.

"Okay we told you our secret, what's yours?" Fang demanded.

Edward spoke now.
"We are vampires." The flock looked at each other.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, but we don't eat humans. We drink from animals, or at least try to, today Jasper who is the most recent to being a "vegetarian" vampire went into a type of frenzy when he smelled blood." Carlisle explained. "The rest of my children stopped him; we don't want anyone to get hurt."

"Huh, vampires," Fang said but I could tell he was surprised. "Anything else you want to tell us about? Maybe some pixies near here?"

I looked at Edward, "Should we tell them about Jake?" He thought and turned to Carlisle. He looked back at me and nodded. "Okay," I said turning to the flock. "There are also some werewolves around here."

"Not like Erasers though, right?" Nudge questioned.

"No, defiantly not." They might share something's in common but not a lot.

"Cool, now that we got that out of the way, I'm hungry." Iggy said. We turned to look at him.

"Where is the kitchen?"

"But you're blind?" Emmet said confused.

"Really, I didn't know that." Iggy said and grinned. He then turned and walked to the kitchen without hitting anything. "Who's hungry?"

Finally the Cullen's find out!

Plus, the flock knows about the Cullen's.

And you'll have to read to find out more. "Evil laugh"
