I shut myself in my room and sat on the bed. I took off my jacket and opened up the newspaper. I read everything so carefully. It worries me in a way because I don't know exactly what will happen. But I don't want to show anyone because it might screw things up and I really don't want to leave this place yet.

It read:
___________________________________
Eight birds fly in the cold. And are apparently not heading south for winter.
Reporters say this strange occurrence are not birds but people.
As strange as it sounds these people have wings giving you the bird image.
Scientists what none to be afraid but to take caution, because we're all not sure what exactly will happen.
Last known location: Mackinaw MI

And even worse, we are in Mackinaw. So any time now. We would be discovered.

"Hey Cam. We gotta talk" Max said after peeking through my cracked door.

"Ya, sure" I said and continued reading, blowing it off.

"Look. Obviously I'm not big on apologizes but I'm- sorry" Max said sitting next to me.

I tucked away the newspaper under my pillow and looked at her.

"I'm going to be honest with you Max. I do not like that I was brought into this family the way I was and I know you hate it as much as I do. But, we have to start talking about all this. I can't fight you all the time. Max, this is all new to me I've never had a family like this. I'm trying to get used to it too" I explained trying to get comfortable, pulling my knees to my chest looking at her.

She nodded. "I will. I promise. Good night" walking towards the door. She opened and shut it leaving.

I let out a sigh of relief and went back to reading my paper. How did they find us? How do they know that's us? Why is it that I found the paper? Why am I put into this?

I read further into the paper deeper and deeper.

A knock echoed on my door and I jumped and immediately put the paper into a safe place, or a shoebox and shoved it into my closet. "Hang on"

I shut the white closet doors and walked over to my door opening it. "It was open Fang" smirking I was leaning on the wall in the doorway.

"Oh okay. Well I just thought I'd knock" he said weaving past me and flopped out onto the bed. "I heard you and Max kissed and made up"

"Ya, and who told you that?" I asked standing in front of him. I took a peace of my long natural curls and twisted it around my finger. Oh course max did! What was I thinking?

"Max. When we were doing the dishes" smirking he kinda blew it off like it was no problem "Here. Come on I want to show you something" he said taking my hand

"What?" I laughed as he pulled me outside the window sitting down on the roof. I sat next to him.

"Look" he breathed pointing out at the stars. They twinkled with every blink of an eye I took.

"Wow! I've never seen anything like this. It's so beautiful" I mumbled mesmerized with the stars.

"Your beautiful as well" he whispered I caught him staring at me.
