Summary: What happens when the flock ends up in Forks, Washington? Werewolves and vampires and bird kids, oh my! Edward x Bella; Max x Fang; Iggy x ???; and the typical vampire couples from Twilight.
Prologue:
Max,Max,Max,
We were in trouble. We'd apparently flown into a storm.
"MAX!" Fang yelled to me through the whipping winds. "MAX! We have to land! The kids can't fly in this!"
He was right. There was no way Angel could stay up for long. Heaven forbid Iggy get blown off course. We may never find him. I didn't wanna think about that. I looked around for a spot to land and set up camp to wait out the rain.

I sat on the couch beside Edward. The two of us had been forced to sit here for hours on end while Alice flashed cards with different color schemes and flower styles and locations. She was a good wedding planner. I'd grant her that. However, it appeared my desires for a small wedding were ignored, annoyingly, by both of them, especially Edward.
"Can't we just do something simple? Not too many people around, just a nice quiet…"
"No." I heard from two directions. Edward smiled his crooked smile at me. "This is the only wedding you'll have as a human. I'm not letting you pass this up."
"And this is the only human wedding I'll ever get to plan. So…"
Alice had gone silent. She had her eyes closed, head tilted back. A vision. I'd come to recognize them. Edward watched her, already knowing what she was seeing. He looked puzzled. Alice's eyes opened slowly. She looked at Edward. He nodded.
"I suppose there's something going on, and I don't expect this to happen but I'm hoping one of you will tell me just what near death experience I will be having and who the culprit will be."
Edward looked at me. "I see no near death situations yet, just…kids…with wings."
Chapter1
Max,Max,Max,
We landed in an open field, trying to find some shelter. Our wings were completely soaked making take off impossible for awhile. Iggy had a hold on one of Fang's belt loops. He couldn't navigate against the wall of noise that the wind and rain created. Gazzy and Nudge stuck to each other, and I held Total while keeping Angel right by my side.
"It's freezing here."
"Shut up Total. I don't wanna hear squat from you." I barked at the little dog. Yeah, I get it. Irony follows me.
Don't blame the dog Max. Bad situations tend to follow you.
I don't wanna hear from you either voice! But, of course, that thing never talks when I want it to or shuts up when I wish it would.
You have to be aware, not only of your enemies, but of your surroundings. A true fighter takes in the scenery as well as their opponent and uses the terrain to their advantage as well as the opponent's weaknesses.
I'm going to ignore you now so that I can find a place to get out of the "surroundings".
"Max! Up ahead!" Fang yelled to me. I looked where he pointed. There was a cave about two yards in front of us and to the left. I ran towards it. Fang tapped the back of Iggy's hand and they started running as well. It wasn't the most glorious place, but better than we've had before.
"Let's get further in." I instructed them. When we came to a dry patch in the cave we set our backpacks down. Total jumped down from my arms at shook himself dry. "Boy is it wet out there."
"Are you sure? I thought I felt a lovely summer breeze." Iggy said sarcastically. We all just glared at him, wishing he could see us.

I clung to Edward, face buried against his shoulder as he ran. It was a little easier now. However, I didn't think I would ever be comfortable enough to ride with my eyes open. We were stopping at the border of the treaty so that we could meet up with Jacob and the other werewolves. We weren't sure what kind of threat they posed so we wanted to be well equipped. I was always caught by surprise when we stopped. It never felt like we'd moved at all. I only knew when Edward tapped my shoulder. I looked up to see the pack standing before us. I immediately picked the russet colored wolf from the group. Jacob. He was smiling his wolfish grin at me. It made me smile too. Everyone was gathered and it was time to head out. Edward looked at me.
"You may want to start hiding again," he said with that half smile that I loved so dearly.
When we arrived at the location Alice had seen them at Edward tapped my shoulder again. He lowered me to the ground and motioned for me to stay silent. Edward stood in front of me, blocking me from view. The rest of the coven formed a circle around us. Carlisle took up the front, Jasper beside him in case his talents were immediately needed. Emmett and Alice were on either side of us. Rosalie and Esme stayed in back, bringing up the rear. It was quiet. The pack, grouped together to our right, was almost silent in its movement as we headed through the eerie green glow of the forest under the canopy. I could see that Edward and Jacob were more tightly wound then the others, my presence making them worry no doubt. We came up to an opening in the side of the mountain. A cave, similar to the one I hid out at when the battle with Victoria had taken place. I almost ran into Edward when he stopped dead. I looked around to see that everyone had stopped. They looked to Edward, the mind reader that he was, for information. Have you ever felt like you were engaged to a police scanner? I have.
"They know we're here." He whispered to all of us. "There are six of them. They're three boys and three girls. One of them is blind, but…he wants to toss a bomb at us? How would he even make one? He's one of the oldest. There's another older boy who wants to fight us. The older girl…" For once, Edward looked utterly confused. "I hear two sets of thoughts coming from her. It's like she's arguing with herself. A little girl…She's trying to hear our thoughts. Another mind reader I suppose." I saw Edwards eyebrows knit together. I watched everyone begin to squirm, like they wanted to leave. Edward chuckled softly. "Not only a mind reader, she's trying to influence us to turn and leave." He looked to Jasper who nodded. Everyone was suddenly dead set on staying it appeared.
"He's controlling our emotions..." I realized "to counteract the girls influencing."
"I don't think they're any threat right now. As long as we don't startle them there shouldn't be any problems. Carlisle, try talking to them," Edward instructed. "We may need Jasper's assistance. I'm not sure."
"We won't." Alice told him with confidence. That seemed to make everyone's decision.
Max,Max,Max,Max,Max
"Someone's here." Iggy told us. I looked to Angel who nodded. We stayed low, remaining quiet, waiting for information from Angel. She was quiet for awhile with a look of concentration on her face.
It's alright Max. They're okay. They'll help you if you trust them.
Shut up voice! I'm not doing anything unless I get something from Angel.
Suit yourself but I'm right.
Wasn't it you that said know your enemy? Respect your opponent?
The voice went silent and I smiled smugly to myself, having outwitted my voice. Angel's face became frustrated.
"Why aren't they leaving? I keep telling them to but it's not working." She was concentrating again.
"There are a lot of them. Some of them look like a new batch of erasers. They look like real wolves but they're really big. They're the size of those horses we saw at Anne's. The other ones are really pale people. One of them is HUGE!" She half yelled, half whispered to us. She was quiet again. "They want to talk to us. The leader of the pale people wants to introduce them to us. They don't want to fight us if they don't have to."
Fang and I looked at each other. He shrugged.
"Hello." A voice called from outside. "My name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen. We want to help you."
I still wasn't sure, but everyone was giving me "why not?" looks. We slowly moved toward the caves entrance. I half expected to see Ari there. They didn't look like white coats. I looked at Fang who was right beside me. "I suppose a U and A is out for now, but get ready to run," I told the others. Fang and I stepped forward first. We scrutinized the "doctor" and what appeared to be his family. The new Eraser's were surprisingly still. They had a sleeker look to them. They were leaner like real wolves and fully transformed. There was no human air about them except the looks in their eyes. I still wasn't going to trust them just yet. I looked back to the doctor. He smiled warmly and held a hand out to me. I refused it.
"If you're here to help then what's with the Erasers." They looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about.
"I'm sorry?" The doctor replied. I decided to play along and pointed to the pack of Erasers next to them. One of them whined indignantly. That was new. No voice?

Jacob whined in complaint. He was clearly insulted. I couldn't help giggling. The girl who, looked to be about fourteen, looked at me.
"What's so funny?" Edward looked at me. It was a look that said "I told you to stay quiet for a reason".
"Well," I started. "I don't know what an Eraser is, but…" I looked to the pack. I didn't want to say anything if they didn't want me to. Sam and Jacob nodded and I turned back to her. "They're werewolves."
