Ride. Maximum Ride.

"Okay" Kate lowered and landed carefully beside Leilani, "It feels nice to rest my wings, but what are we going to eat?" She asked, she really didn't know what they were going to do now they were out. She looked over at Iggy, "Hey are you alright? Do you want me to look at your ankle?" She asked pure concern in her voice, though she didn't know what to do if she looked at it.

 

Flying down from the tree, Leila helped Ignelia up, sighing. "Hmmmm, well....." Just then, a wonderful smell wafted toward her nose. "Umm, we must have traveled farther than we thought, since I smell....something good..." Walking toward it, she spotted a family Barbecuing in a clearing. "Dang it. I don't want to steal..." Her stomach roared. "Let's go the other way..maybe we can find a deer."

 

Kate tried to ignore the smell but it smelt so good, she shook her head, "Okay, let's get away from that smell before I get too tempted, but what do we do when we find the deer?"

OOC: Sorry for short posts.

 

OOC: It's okay.

BIC:"Make a fire, try to cook it." Leilani said sheepishly, walking back the way they came. "I bet lots of them live here. I wonder, if we split up?" She asked herself. "No, that'd make getting it harder...."

 

"I'm fine... it's good that we bird-kids are tougher than we look..." she said dusting herself off.
She looked at Leilani. "A deer?" But why?"

 

"You wanna steal from innocent people?" Leilani elbowed Ignelia a little in her arm. "Be my guest."

OOC: Short post.

 

Ignelia looked a little sad...
"I never said that..."
She would never even consider stealing from people. No way.
Leilani didn't have to quite put it like that...
She slowly limped away in the direction of the forest.

 

"Oh, I'm sorry Ignelia, I'm just a little cranky from not eating. I'm sorry." Leilani walked up, wanting to be alone for a while. Her wings beat against her back a little, wanting to take off. As she walked alone, she looked around for deer, not seeing any at all. "Worst plan ever." She whispered.

 

"I guess it must be done but how are we actually going to do the deed?", she was worried how they'd kill it. She wasn't sure if she had the guts to kill another living creature, was it so different from them. She bit her lip, it had to be done, otherwise they'd starve. They needed food to give them energy to get away. But also, how would they kill it, it wasn't like they had any weapons at their disposal.

 

"Well, we could always strangle it to death. Or, we could use...-" Leilani ripped a piece of bark off a tree. "This." Leila pat it against her hand a couple of times. "We need to eat, and this could be the best way to kill it."

 

Ignelia started flapping her wings and let herself lift off the ground and hover. She flew off slowly into the forest.

 

Kate nodded, "I guess so..." She replied, still a little unsure. She saw Iggy start to fly and decided to copy. Currently the crunching of leaves under her feet would scare any deer away, plus her owl wings meant she could fly silently but dodging trees may be a slight problem, her wings weren't as agile as the other's. Still she'd just have to be careful.

 

Leilani watched as the others flew off, looking for food. Sighing, she unfolded her wings, flying to a tree branch. Looking around, she spotted three of them in a clearing, picking at grass. Quickly and quietly, she flew above them and dived in for the kill.

 

Ignelia found a tree with a number of berries on it.
She wanted to pick them and scoop them into her shirt. But, looking down at her bare tummy from her ripped shirt, she realised she wouldn't be able to carry that many...
she sighed... and tried to think of a plan.

 

Leilani lunged at a deer, slicing its head off. The others stood in place, terrified. "Hii-Yah!" She did the same with the others and started to lug them back to where they were before. Quickly, she got a fire started and cooked them all. She knew she had to get the others, so she whistled loudly.

 

Ignelia heard the whistle and gave up, it was the signal to return.
She had been planning on taking the rest of her shirt off and flying topless back to the others with the berries in the shirt...
But she decided it was for the best, for one she didn't want to give Sora a heart attack.

 

As Leila waited for her flock to come back, she tended the cooked deer. Then, she spotted familar white wings above her. "Iggy! I got some Deer!"

 

Ignelia landed gingerly on her good foot, and limped over to Leilani.
"I found some berries... but... I couldn't bring them..." she paused.
"Well, I coulda'... it's just... it would have been a bit indecent..." she said timidly.

 

"So you found some deer". Sora said landing on the ground. "At least we have something to eat".

 

Leilani got up and took Ignelia in one arm. "Maybe...you could show me where they are." It didn't matter that they were gonna leave the Deer, there were no wolves or any animals here, right? "Sora, can you watch the Deer?"
