Chapter two

Fang jumped in through the window, and headed to the room where the cages were, blending into the background. Dr G-H's...experiment had boosted that power for good.

He stopped at a computer, and quickly printed of whatever crap he could before moving on to the experiments.

When he got there, he saw four experiments, about seven, nine, twelve and fifteen.

He became visible. They starred at him.

"Yo, I'm Fang. I'm here to save you" and he ran to all the cages, and had them unlocked in about thirty seconds. Iggy would be proud.

They starred at him. Then the eldest climbed out. Her eyes were wide, but she knew what to do. She reminded him of Max, as she checked over the other experiments.

"We gotta high tail it outta here" He went over and smashed a window, "jump, hit the ground running, push off, snap out wings and the rest is instinctual" he said, they actually listened to what he said. He helped the youngest out, watching for erasers, and jumped out himself. He threw the youngest in the air, and watched as he snapped out raven like wings and flapped. He jumped into the air, and led his knew flock out of there.

I literally hated shopping, of any kind. But I loved good. As I pushed a trolley with Nudge pushing one too, down an isle of cereals, I talked. Nudge was really the closest girl I had to talk with. There was Ella-My half sister, but she was human.

"i've learned things" I said, "I learned that I pushed you guys too hard, but at the same time, I didn't focus on you guys, the way I should have. I should have spent time with you guys more...Nudge, you need to know that a good leader has to learn when to back down, and when to , that is something you need to learn when"

"Max? Why are you telling me that?" She asked, suddenly my little chatterbox.

"Because" I said, "There will come a time where you have to lead"

"You're my leader" She said without hesitation. Tears pricked my eyes-not to long ago, they'd kicked me out.

"Things change Nudge" I said, putting some tin food in my trolley, then some chocolate.

When we paid, the cashier stared at us wide eye. I smiled sweetly, and said, "We volunteer at a homeless shelter" It probably wasn't far from the truth.

When we got outside, I realised I should have got Iggy and the others to come along. We couldn't carry this much.

"hey" A voice said. Great.

"Dylan!" Nudge said, "What are you doing here?"

"I got sick of living with Jeb. I saw you guys on the way to the house thought I'd help" without saying anything, I passed him six bags. Then another two.

I split the rest between me and Nudge. Sometimes being a leader meant going with the flow. We jumped into the air. As I flew, the ring on a thick leather cord around my neck moved, to lay over my heart.
