Thanx for the reviews guys :D Oh, and before you read. I just wanted to let you know that I made a maximum ride video on youtube while I was sick ;) If you're interested, it's called FAX and the flock. And I'm on there with the same username...
Iggy: And she also made a tag video! Everyone in America kept saying that she had an Australian accent! It was hilarious!
Me: -whacks with herring- Okay, you guys don't need to see my tag video...it was really bad....
Iggy: GO AND EMBARRASS HER!!
Me: No!!!!! Anyway, here's the chapter....
A few weeks had passed since the flock had gone back to their normal lives. Max and Fang had gone back to New York with Heaven, Nudge had taken Hunter back to L.A. and Gazzy, Angel and Total had gone back to Paris to tell Michael the good news and organise the wedding. However, before everyone had left, we'd arranged to meet again in six months, which was shortly after Christmas. We'd also taught the kids how to fly. I loved being able to actually see the joy that danced across Aaliya's face as she, Heaven and Hunter flew together. Ever since I'd gotten my sight back, I'd taken in every detail of the flock that I could.
Heaven was right when she'd said that Aaliya and I had the same wings. That was now obvious to me. The other thing that I'd noticed was the way that Max and Fang looked at each other! If that was the way that they looked at each other twenty years ago, then I wonder why it took them so long to get together! Seriously!
After we'd taught the kids to fly and everything was organised, I'd seen something that I never wanted to see.
The Flock leaving.
Ever since they did, everything suddenly felt.............different somehow.
The house seemed quieter than usual. Aaliya had ceased her constant humming that I had always appreciated. Dr. M had gone a few days ago and Ella seemed to be quieter after her sister had left.
Now there was silence through the house.
Whoever said that 'silence is golden' was an idiot.
"Dad?"
I shook my head and looked up at my slightly confused daughter.
"Yeah?" I answered.
"You're not answering my question!" Aaliya said rolling her eyes at me.
I sighed, "What question?"
"Can I go shopping with my friends today?" She asked impatiently, practically jumping up and down with anticipation.
"Well, umm......" I said as I glanced away at the wall for a minute before looking up at her again. But when I met her gaze again my jaw dropped.
She was giving me the freaking bambi eyes.
"Aly, did you happen to talk to Nudge and Angel before they left?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes at her.
She giggled before nodding.
I sighed again. "And what did they say?"
"They said that now you can see, the bambi eyes can affect you and I can get anything I wanted," She replied with a smirk.
When I saw Nudge and Angel again they were in big trouble.....
"Not everything! But you can go shopping. Go and ask mom to drive you," I answered as I turned the T.V. on.
"Uh, no, it's okay. I'll walk," she replied, heading for the door.
"You're going to walk ten kilometres?" I asked sceptically.
"Umm.....yeah," she replied before rushing out the door.
I dropped my head into my hands and groaned.
Kids.
Ella then came into the room with the phone in her hand.
"Iggy, why don't you go out for a fly around? It will clear your head," Ella suggested with a smile.
I frowned at her. "Why don't we do something that we can both do and go for a walk instead?" I asked. Not sure as to why Ella had randomly suggested this in the first place.
She came and sat down next to me, taking my hand in hers. "Ig, it really hurt me to watch the flock leave, so I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. I just think that you should get some fresh air." She said quietly, sounding sincere in every word.
I nodded and gave her a quick peck on the lips before heading out the door, and taking to the air.
When I couldn't see, I could never find the right words to explain what flying was like. And now that I could see, I knew that explaining was now impossible.
I understood why Ella had suggested that I come out here. When I was in the sky, I didn't need to worry about anything. Nothing mattered when I was up here. I knew that Ella was safe at the house and Aaliya was out shopping-
My thoughts were cut off when my raptor vision picked up on an object in the distance. I squinted and realised that it was too big to be a bird so that must mean......
No, it couldn't be.
I picked up speed until I was flying at least three hundred kilometres per hour (A/N: As the Flock got older, they also got faster) but, just as I was about to reach them, they did something that I didn't expect. They stopped dead in their tracks, back beating their wings. I tried to do the same, but at this speed I knew that I couldn't. So I positioned my feathers and manoeuvred around the person without moving my wings. It was something that I'd learned from the Hawks a long time ago.
When I'd slowed down completely, I hovered next my daughter and folded my arms while she giggled.
"Was the shopping trip cancelled?" I asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, my imaginary shopping plans were cancelled by my imaginary friends," she answered, her wings beating slightly faster than mine to keep aloft.
"I see........Did you just want to clear your head?" I asked, my face becoming serious.
She nodded and looked down at the ground so far below us.
"I guess that that's both what we need, huh." She said quietly, still looking at the ground. It was a statement more than a question.
"Yeah. Well, since we're up here, do you want me to teach some things that I learned from the Hawks?" I asked her with a smile
She looked up at me, "Oh my God, really?" She asked excitedly, practically bouncing up and down in midair.
Boy did that look familiar.
"I'll teach you if you promise me something," I said holding up my hand to get her to calm down.
"What?" She asked after she'd stopped the bouncing.
"Stop talking to Nudge and Angel about things that they used to do. Especially about the bambi eyes and bouncing up and down in midair!" I said rolling my eyes.
She laughed before replying, "Deal."
"Okay then...."
For the next hour, I taught Aly everything that I knew. I watched her face light up with happiness when she got something right. After getting something right, she'd do it again, just to get the feeling of adrenaline rushing through her system.
I guess that for a normal human, it would like teaching your daughter how to ride a bike. But flying was way cooler.
After we'd finished and we were about to go home, I stopped dead in my tracks and cocked my head. Ever since Aaliya was little, she'd learned that whenever I did this, I was listening really hard and she needed to be very quiet. Having my sight back was no exception to that unwritten rule, so she instantly became quiet and listened too.
I knew that sound.
"I'd know that sound anywhere," I whispered as a smile slowly spread across my lips.
"What?" She asked quietly. Her face turned into a frown as she focused on the sound.
"Come on, it's coming from over there," I said and we both flew in the direction of the barely perceptible sound.
I made sure that I was going slow enough for her to keep up, but I wished that I get there faster.
I had grown up around this sound and I used to hear it every day of my life when I was fourteen. It was also one of my favourites.
It was the sound of wing beats.
Eventually, three small shapes came into view. Those shapes then started to take the form of birds, but Aly and I knew that birds couldn't fly that fast and weren't that big.
Soon enough, Aly caught on to what they were and picked up more speed in the hopes of getting there quicker.
She then crashed straight into Heaven and they hugged each other (somehow managing to stop their wings from getting tangled) and I smiled at Max and Fang who smiled back.
"May I ask what you're doing here?"I said, crossing my arms but keeping the smile on my face.
"We were just taking our daily flight," Fang replied with a smirk.
"Oh," I stretched the word out in the 'it's so obvious' gesture. "So, you fly from New York to Arizona every day. You must get very tired." I added with mock sympathy.
"Oh, no," Max answered, she and Fang exchanging looks. "We didn't fly here from New York. We flew from our house which is a two minute flight from here. But thanks for your concern though."
I heard Aaliya scream and Heaven start to laugh as my mouth fell open. "But how?"
"We couldn't split up again, Ig." Max whispered. "A few minutes after we left for home did Fang and I realise that we didn't want to lose you again. It was stupid to split the flock up in the first place, and we're going to stay together from now on."
I nodded and then smiled at them.
"And we knew that we couldn't split up the squealing twins either," Fang muttered, gesturing to our daughters.
"I do not squeal!" Heaven said with her arms on her hips.
Fang and I both smirked at Max and she rolled her eyes.
"Nudge, Hunter and Peter will be here in an hour, and Gazzy, Angel, Michael and Total will be here in a few days." Max continued. "We all somehow managed to get houses in the area, and we've enrolled all the kids into Aaliya's school."
It was then Aaliya's turn to gape at her Aunt. "So, Heaven, Hunter and I will go to school together?!" She asked as she started to bounce up and down again.
Max nodded and there were more squeals, and hugs and-
Wait a minute. Why the hell am I describing what the girls were doing?
Anyway, there a few things that I'd learned from this whole experience.
1. Walking into tree's isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes it can, oh, I don't know, return your sight after not being able to see for twenty seven years.
2. No matter how old the flock may become, we will never change our personalities or our distastes for hospitals, people in white coats, antiseptic smelling stuff.......okay, you get the point.
3. It doesn't matter how far apart you live, or if you haven't seen each other in a long time, family is family, no matter what.
And I know that I will always have mine
Iggy: -sighs- Are you going to tell them, or not? Me: Hmm......not Iggy: Fine, I'll tell them. There's a sequal! Me: -sighs- Yes, there is. I have the first two chapters ready, but I don't have a story name...yet. Iggy: But there WILL be a sequal Me: And I will post it.....if I can get time.... Iggy: I'll make time Me: Thanx. Okay, would you guys like a sneak preview? No? Yes? Well, I'm giving you one anyway ;) The Un-named sequal to Hidden Secrets (Heaven POV) Life has never been easy. And that's when I was a NORMAL girl. But ever since I'd found out about the school, and what my parents......were, it's been a lot harder. Let me catch you up on the Flock's latest activities. Mom and Dad bought a house in Arizona, so that we could be closer to Aunt Ella, Uncle Iggy and my cousin, Aaliya, who now prefers to be called Aly, for short. A few hours after we had seen the new house, we flew back home, packed our things, and then hired a moving van. I'm not going to bore you with all the details, so let's just say that we're living in Arizona now.................. ................................................................ You didn't really think that I was going to tell the whole chapter now did you? Iggy: -sighs- Just tell them how it ends. That way, you don't give anything away.... Me: -sighs- I don't know know why your so keen...Why are you so keen? Iggy: It's a story where I get my sight back! Sue me! Me: If only I had a lawyer..... Iggy: Excuse me?!?! Me: Nothing, nothing....here's the end of the chapter for the sequal :D I love that word. Sequal...... ................................................................ So, as you've probably noticed, things seem to be pretty perfect on our end. I can't believe that I actually thought it would last!
Boy was I wrong.....
This is my story. Get ready for the RIDE.
..............................................................
Me: And, there you go :D
Iggy: Yeah
Me: Okay, this is the CURRENT sequal. It might change. I'm still not sure if it's going to be like that, but that's the idea atm.
Iggy: You need to do your homework now...
Me: Said my day planner
Iggy: -sighs-
Me: This was the last chapter guys....so, please review :D
R&R!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Bell and Ig :D
