Madness Has Made Our Family

Wings

Crickets. In. The. House.
Waking up to the sound of a single cricket, is the worst way to be woken up.
Okaaaaaay, so, I have wings now.
Oooooo, I can fly! But not trying until there is someone to save me if I start to fall to my death.
I go to get up, but I hear a noise. Looking beside the bed, I see Fang fast asleep on the floor.
Very quietly, I stand up and leave the room. Once out of the house, I stretch my new additions out as far as possible. Okay, I have a 14ft wingspan.
How the hell do they hide these?!?!?
At least I have pretty wings. They are gradient white. White is at the base and fades to a sleek black. Then I notice how I smell a little like Max and Anne.
I was not wearing this earlier..... I  guess Anne gave Max clothes to change me into. I am now in a tank top that is to small so it shows my midriff and a lot of clevage, as well as plaid pj pants that are low, so the waist band resides under my tail.
As I walked out to the barn, I put my hair up in a messy braid so it wouldn't block my sight.

"Hello Jack." I say sweetly with a smile. Jack responds with a nod and grunt. He lies down on the floor of his stall and motions me over with his head. I walk in and cuddle into his side, my wings stretch out and I fall asleep.

°•°○°●°

"BELLE!?!?" I wake up to someone calling my name.
"BELLE?!?!" They call again.... it's Fang and Anne.
I stand up and walk out of the barn to see Fang, standing right in front of me.
"What?" I ask when he just stares at me.
"Where have you been?!?!" He asks, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me slightly.
"Sleeping." I say and move his hands away from my shoulders.
"*sigh* okay, now that that is done. How are your wings?" He asked
"Fine, just heavy...... how the hell do you guys hide these?!" I said, moving my hands crazily to gesture to my wings.
"The same way you will." He said with a maniacal grin.
"I'm not going to like this, am I?" I said with a knowing tone.
"Nope, so let's go eat breakfast." He said and grabbed my arm, pulling me towards the house.
"I'm not hungry." I whine like a child.
"But you're going to eat anyway." He said with a fake, sweet smile.
"You fustrate me." I say and continue walking.

"Hey guys, breakfast is on the table." Anne said as we walked in on her pulling biscuits out of the oven.
We nod and walk into the dinning room, where I had to hold back from gagging.
I sit down next to Angel and Fang sits next to me. There is a lot of food. Anne is going to go broke if she keeps cooking like this. There is enough here to feed the flock to the point of fulness...... I didn't think it was possible either, but it is now.
"Where we're you Belle?" Angel asks as everyone starts getting into their seats.
"The barn, I fell asleep talking to Jack." I said, grabbed half of a butter bagel and started to nibble on it.
"Why did you go to the barn?" Anne asked, sitting down.
"There's a cricket in your house." I said and got up.
I went to the kitchen and got a water glass from the cabinet. Turning around, I almost dropped the cup because Angel was standing right there.
"Sorry Belle, I was just wondering if you could get me a cup?" She said
"Of course, *gets cup* here you go." I say, handing her the cup.
We walk back into the dinning room and sit down.
Anne just sets down her utensils and looks at me
"Belle, do you know what percentage of body fat you're at?" She asks
"Yeah, I'm at 2 percent." I say and take another bite of my bagel. I've eaten about half of the half and I am really not hungry. I actually feel a little sick.

There is absolutely no food left. I think that they are all about to start puking........... hopefully my morning sickness stays away.
"Anne, do you have any rope?" Max asked
"Uhhh, yeah, I think so... why?" Anne replies.
"We have to tie Belle's wings so she can learn to tuck them." Iggy said, flipping hair out of his eyes.
"I knew I wasn't going to like this." I said, looking at my lap.
"Yeah, I guess you do need to learn to hide them for school." Anne said then threw a hand over her mouth as she saw our faces.
"SCHOOL!?!?" the Flock yelled while I burst out laughing.
"Yes, you are teenagers, most of you, and you need to prepare for your future's. Belle, why are you laughing?" Anne replied to our outbursts.
I calmed myself down and looked at her
"Angel could graduate college in two hours to get a masters degree. You put Gazzy and Iggy in a chemistry lab, and we're all screwed. I already graduated highschool, Max and Fang could accidentally kill someone in a game of dodgeball." I said and the Flocks eyes widened at the mention of my graduation, as do Anne's.
"What was that last part?" She asked in awe
"Max and Fan-" Anne cut me off, "No, right before that."
"Oh, ummm, well I have an IQ higher than genius so when I was 5, my father put me in highschool. I graduated 2 years later." I said really fast and started to fiddle with my hands.
"If you can prove that, you don't have to go.......but everyone else has to go until they graduate, and nobody can kill anyone or blow anything up." Anne said, then Nudge looks at me funny
"What about me?" She asks
"Nudge, you are the average popular. A lot of boys will ask you out, you'll have a lot of friends. Just remember that most of the boys are only trying to get into your pants, while there will be some girls trying to make your life hell." I say and she looks really happy.
"I GET TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!!" She squealed excitedly. I covered my ears because she was so loud.
"Sound barriers are there for a reason. So please stop breaking them." I said once she stopped.
She blushed while everyone broke down laughing except me.
"Did you not hear the last sentence?" I ask incredulously
"I did, but it won't happen to me." She said excitedly............. I feel bad for when she has to face the reality of school.
Once we had all calmed down, I got up and started grabbing everyone's plates. I had three in each hand, two in each elbow, and four on my head.
I put everything in the sink, I was about to start cleaning them off, when I felt a dying life force. Looking at the window, I see a dying........... cactus.
How do you kill a cactus!?!?!?
I prick my finger on one of its spikes so it can thrive off of my blood.
Weird? Probably, but it's effective.
It almost instantly grows 2 inches. As I start washing the dishes, Anne walks in and gasps. This action shocks me and I slice the palm of my hand on the knife I was washing.
"Damn!" I say, yanking my hand out of the hot, soapy water.
I then hide my hand behind my back and face Anne,
"Is something wrong?" I ask, letting the blood from my hand drip into the sink.
She points to the window and I have to hold on my laugh.
I think my powers are getting stronger because, that cactus is now blooming with rare cactus flowers..... or it could be the new Horemones.
"Um, I didn't mean to do that." I say and everyone else walks in, jaws dropping as they follow Anne's gaze.
"Does anyone else smell copper?" Max asks, sniffing the air.
Oh, my hand. Almost forgot.
"Belle?" Angel says in a stern tone.
"Hehe, well...... you people have got to stop scaring me!" I say, my glare focused on mainly Anne.
Fang walks up to me with an eyebrow raised.
"*sigh* it's not that bad...... I think" I say and pull my hand out of the sink.
Okaaaaaay, so it is that bad.
Fangs eyes widen as well as Iggy's.
"Someone get me the first aid kit from their room" Iggy says, walking up to me and taking my hand from Fang who was panicking.
"I don't get it. How are you so clumsy?" Max asked, leaning against the door jam as Fang lifted me onto the counter by my waist.
"It is scientifically proven that females become 10 times more accident prone when pregnant. This is because any balance that they had, is now messed up." Angel said as Gazzy ran in with the first aid kit.
I look anywhere except my hand as Iggy stitches it up.
"Do I get to ride Jack after this?" I ask, looking at Anne.
"I'm not sure putting you on a temperamental horse is such a good idea." Anne says, looking very skeptical.
I give her the puppy dog eyes and her stern expression faulters.
"*sigh* fine, let's go see if I have a pair of jeans that will fit you." She says, looking between her smallish hips and my quite large ones.

Well, I guess this works. I think as I slide on the jeans. They are pretty low rise but they are boot cut, so I can't complain. I slip on the the razor back tank-top and smile. It's very form fitting but isn't so tight that I can't breathe. I speed walk out of my shared room, and down the stairs while pulling on my boots........ I probably shouldn't have tried to triple task because I ended up tripping once I had my shoes on.
But someone is always there to make sure I don't accidentally kill myself, so Iggy catches me when I am about .000002 seconds from hitting the ground.
"I don't recommend that." Iggy says, steadying me and walking outside with me.
"Thanks, but I'm crazy enough to do it again." I say and skip to the barn.
"Jacky!"
