Thanks for clicking on the second chapter. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything, except Rose. I own Rose, but JP own everything else .

Rose and I are on our way to my flock, and dam we’re getting close. Not that I don’t want to see the flock I’m just extremely nervous. I could feel Rose trying to calm me, but I was trying to resist it. She was winning.

We were flying over their neighborhood now. I can see why they moved here most of the houses were surrounded by trees. We quickly found their house on the far right side of the neighborhood. We slowed our flapping and began to descend.

Our feet touched the assault that was as dark as the night sky above. I walked up to the little, rundown house where they lived. Rose and I decided that it would be best if I went alone to the door before introducing them to Rose too, and took it one step at a time.

I rang the door bell in the dead of night. It creaked open showing Fang’s body. How, I craved to be back in his arms. I remember the strength he held me with. I miss it so much. “What do you want? “ Fang asked with, so much hate in his voice it made me want to cry.

‘My family back,” I whispered knowing he still be able to hear me.

“Well, it’s too late for that.” He spoke as he slammed the door closed.

His worlds cut deeply into me. I sat down and cried. Rose flew over to me and comforted me. She changed my emotion so I felt stronger and I want to try again. Rose hop off the porch, opened her mocha colored wings and disappeared into the darkness.

With tears still streaming down my face I rang the door bell once again. Fang opened the door, again, but this time tears were also in his eyes too. “Fang,” I said softly, “I’m sorry I left. I didn’t want to leave. The school they just took me…took me away from you. They carried my away with my hand and feet tied together, and something in my mouth keeping me from yelling, like I so badly wanted to.” I stopped.

Fang open the door just a hint more and led me inside and he pointed to a beat up chair. I knew he wanted me to sit so I walked over and did. Fang walked around the corner and yelled, “Guys come here now.”

The rest of the flock walked around the corner and into the family room. The four years had changed them so much. All of them looked so much old and taller. It reminded of how I missed them. Angel look into my eyes “It’s okay Max. I can tell you didn’t want to leave. That the school just took you away from your family, your flock.” Angel explained. Her power must have gotten stronger.

She ran over to me and gave me a big hug. I hug her back and whispered, “That’s exactly what happened.”

Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy joined Angel and we all hugged. It felt so good to have them all back in my arms. One person was missing, Fang. He stood against the wall on the far side of the room, still not believing my story. I know he was hurt bad when I left, but he has got to understand it wasn’t my fault and that now he was hurting me by not trusting me.

I decide now was going to be as good as it got for a chance to introduce Rose. I stopped hugging the kids and announced, “You guys there is some one you need to meet.” The kids looked confused and I went out on to the porch and called for Rose. She landed on the doorstep right next to me.

I led her inside and introduced her to the flock. “This is Rose. As you saw she has wings like us. She was the only one the school would allow to help me save the world. She, too, was taken from her flock,but we can't find them so I was hoping she could stay here with us.” I admitted

“Yeah of course she can stay here with us, but the both of you will have to sleep here in the family room. We are a little short on space you see and have no more bed rooms left available. Angel and I already share and Iggy and Gazzy share a room too. This house is defiantly not the biggest house we have stayed in.” Nudge mentioned.

“That’s okay Nudge. I’m sure the grounds better then the school.” I replied. Nudge laughed and started talking to Rose. I laughed myself when I saw the expression on Rose’s face after talking to Nudge for five minutes.

Fang had gone off to make dinner and told us it would be ready in ten minutes. I was talking Iggy. He told me that after I left the flock searched two years for me. He said that he use to wake up in the dead of night and he Fang sobbing. I knew Fang thought I left him now why else who he be so angry with me.

I told Iggy of how Rose and I saved the world. How we flew all around the globe to fight new enemies in different areas. He seemed to be shocked of how much the two of us accomplished in four years.

When Fang final called us for dinner thirty minutes had passed. He probably just wanted to be away from me so he made it take longer then it should of. I’ll need to talk to him about that soon and alone.

We sat down around the too small table and dug in to the food laying before us. I forgot how good a warm meal was. Let me tell you they are amazingly good.

After dinner everyone went to their rooms and went to bed. I couldn’t fall asleep so I lay down and though of my flock. Be for long I heard the sounds of some one crying and realized it was Fang. I realized what Iggy said was true. When I left I broke Fangs heart even if he doesn’t want to admit it. I now learn the truth in the dead of night.
