A/N: Hi again! So this chapter is after both the Cullens and the flock share their stories. I figured that people wouldn't want to hear them again, and also, when I give the plot to books I like, I tend to ramble on for hours. You don't need to be boreded (is that a word?) with that. Hope you like it!

-twi XD

Jasper's P.O.V

We all stared in shock at the children in front of us. Of course, they were shocked at our story, too. At least their past was scientificaly posible, and not mythical creatures come to life.

But, really, that made it worse. The fact that people would knowingly and willingly kidnap children and preform turturous, inhuman experiments on them was mind-boggling. I could feel the rest of my family's disbelief and horror raideating off of them.

It was times like this that I really loathed being able to sense emotions. Whenever my family had horrific emotions, it just made me feel worse. Edward caught my eye, and sent me an apoligetic look, having heard my thoughts.

Esme, who looked like she would be crying if she could, said quietly, "It's horrible. What happpened to you was just... inhuman."

"Yeah, well," Max said calmly. "We're not quite human, though." As if that made it all right.

These kids were so young, yet they all had such mature emotions. They felt fear, but also, some of them felt humilliation, like they were embarresed of what had happened to them. they all felt guarded, and insecure, also. The little one, Angel, was interested. I'm guessing she got a lot more out of our story than the others, being a mind reader and all.

Angel looked up at me, her sad face suddenly clearing, and grinned at me. "We are kids." she said, still looking at me. "but we're also much more than that. Living a life like our's, it makes you older. I may be six, but sometimes, I feel much older. I imagine our emotions would be different than most normal kids. But, hey, we're not normal kids."

There was a wave of saddness coming off of Esme and Rose, and I tried to calm them both. They sent me gratful smiles.

Sometimes sensing emotions was a pain, but I was glad I could do my part in the family.

Max's P.O.V

Okay. Flying bird kids, I can handle. Flying wolf dudes, sure. I can even get used to all the weird robo-failures those geeks keep throwing at us.

But Vampires? Isn't that crossing the line just a bit? And do you know what's weirder than hearing a bunch of vampire's talking about their past? Believing it. That's right folks, Maximum Ride has finally gone crazy. 'Cause I onisly did balieve them. Plus, I get this feeling that I can trust them. That I should trust them.

That's good Max. Trusting people is good.

The Voice. I hadn't heard the voice in a while. Edward was looking at me strangly. "What?" I snapped.

"That.. that voice. There was a voice in your head."

"Um, yeah. I think I metioned that." I had, when I told the about us.

"Yes, you did," Edward admitted. "but I thought, maybe it wasn't real. That you were imaganing it."

"Well, I'm not. Though I'm surprised you can hear it. Angel can't." I always had wondered why she couldn't. I thought maybe it was a voice only I could hear. Like, I was tuned differently that others. AM and FM (lol, totally took that out of Twilight!)

Edward snorted. "That was my theiry for Bella's sheild. Like a radio."

"I have a question," Angel said, speaking to the room at large.

"Go ahead, dear," the mother, Esme said kindly to her, with a maternal look in her eyes.

"Well, some of you keep thinking of werewolves. I don't really get it. I know they're your friends, and they come over a lot, but who are they? How do they morf into wolves?" Angel looked politily curious, but I was mentally screaming. I glansed at Fang, and we shared a look. WTF?!?

The Cullens looked unconfertable. "Uh, I think they would rather explain to you. I don't dout the will. They will be very interested in you."

"Yeah, we get that a lot," I said. "Are they dropping by any time soon?"

"Actually, you're in luck," edward said. "A few are coming over right now. They'll be here in about a minute, I can hear them now."

Oh goody. So I'm going to meet vampires and werewolves in the same day. Anything else? Fairies? Leprechauns?

As the door opened, the flock swiveled around in our seats, ant went on guard. Four men walked in. They were half naked. all that they wore was cut-off pants. No shirts, no shoes. they all loked at us. One, the biggest (and they were all huge), walked over to Bella, and took Nessie out of her arms.

"Jake," Bella said. "These are our friends. They're a bit different. That's Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." She gestured to us all.

Jake grinned at us. He looked like a boy trapped in a man's body. "Hey there. I'm Jake, and these guys are Quil, Embry, and Seth..." he trailed off, looking at Seth, who appeared to be the youngest. Seth was staring at Angel and didn't seem to have heard the exchange. Angel looked shocked, probably having heard his thoughts. Strangly, the flock and me were the only ones not lookin shocked. I began to feel left out.

"Am I missing something here?" I asked loudly, making a few people jump. Edward looked at me, then at Angel, then at Seth, who still hadn't taken his eyes off my baby. Suddenly, Edward smirked.

"Well, I guess there's no dout they'll tell you now"

A/N: Was it okay? Please R&R!
