So sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I have been updating my other stories and trying to figure out what is going on with this story. I now know what is going to happen. Hehe

Disclaimer: Trust me… I do not own Maximum Ride or her flock. I do own the other flock though.

Six years later!! Angel is 12 now Max is 20, Fang and Iggy are 20 too, Nudge is seventeen, and Gazzy is fifteen.

Angel POV:

"Hey sweet thing," Birm said winking at me. I giggled and closed in my wings letting myself fall. Birm has been flirting shamelessly for a while now. Before he would try subtly but then he remembered that I could read minds and now he doesn't try to hide it.

'Why does she do that all the time?' Birm thought. 'Man she looks like an real angel when she does that. Her hair around her face like a halo…' I stopped listening and continued my fall.

I have heard that before. And I fall like this because that is the only time I feel truly free. Man that sounds cheesy. I mean I love my new flock but whenever I think of Max and my old flock, I fall. I tuck in my wings and let gravity take over.

Whenever I fall I imagine that me falling is just my problems falling away. In the ten minutes I have before I reach the ground I usually have my emotions under control. I mean Max almost never showed her emotions. She was strong. I can be strong.

The reason I fell this time is because that is the way Fang used to look at Max whenever he was thinking thoughts like that. I don't know if they still like each other. They left six years ago.

Gone

Alone

Left Behind

I closed out those thoughts that seemed to come into my mind a lot. They didn't want me; I don't care. I have my new flock. I have great friends and someone who wants to be more than friends.

They aren't your family though

"YES!" I shouted into the rushing wind. "They are my family!" I saw the ground nearing in. It was a few hundred feet away now. I shook my shoulders and then opened my wings in a rush. I sucked in a breath as the wind caught my wings and slowed down my descent until I was hovering.

I looked up into the cloudy sky and started flying upward. I was up at the level that my flock was at earlier and saw them a few miles away. I started flying towards them.

Right when I got to them Birm flew up next to me. "Hey. Have a nice fall?" he asked.

"Yup," I stated.

"Why do you randomly drop out of the sky like that?" he asked. I sighed. That was his question of the month. The past three months as well as this month. He had been asking me this question for a few months now. I guess I could just tell him. He really was just worried about me.

"Because that is how I get rid of unwanted emotions."

"Oh so when you are talking to me and a big gush of passion comes and it is too much to handle you fall and let some of it go? Because being around me is bound to bring on to much emotion. I know how it feels I love myself too." I laughed and flew close to threatening to push him out of the sky.

Birm laughed and flew a few feet away, just out of my reach. 'What emotion? Don't ask her. I can visibly see that she can't deal with it.' I smiled at Birm.

"Thanks," I mouthed. Birm looked confused for a moment and then nodded.

"No problem," he said looking straight ahead. I sighed and flew a little closer to Birm.

"Sorry," I said. Birm looked up confused again.

"Why would you be sorry?" Birm asked.

"Sorry for shutting you out," I said blushing and looking down. "I know that you are only concerned for me." Birm gave me a small smile and then looked back at the other flock.

I looked at Birm's profile and smiled. He really is cute. He has long strawberry blonde hair with bright blue eyes and a strong chin. He is taller than me, and I come up to about his chin.

Right now he is wearing dark jeans with pockets all over them. His shirt is a white shirt with a black sweater over it. 'That looks nice on him,' I thought letting my eyes roll over his body.

As if he could sense my eyes on him, Birm turned to look at me. He grinned catching me looking at him.

"See something you like?" he asked flying a little closer.

"Yes," I said looking past him. "See that beautiful airplane over there?" I asked. Birm looked to his right and I tilted slightly bumping into him.

"I don't see anythi- Ow that hurt," Birm said pouting.

"Really?" I asked. I bumped into him again my wings hitting his own. Birm flew out of my reach and then quickly flew back running into me. I stopped flapping and fell a few feet laughing. I ascended to Birm's level and touched the end of his wing with mine slightly.

Birm smiled and drew slightly closer. "Birm," I said. "Any closer and we might not be able to fly. You don't want that do you?" I asked. Birm laughed and drew away. Slightly…

And you know what? She didn't mind. She liked the friendly (maybe more than friendly) touch.

So here is my next chapter. Sorry for not updating earlier. Please give me reviews. Tell me if you like the way that I am starting to do Angel's POV. And don't worry they will meet up soon! (Both flocks)

Kisses,
