Chapter One
Max's pov
The whole flock had been complaining about how tired they were since we started flying early this morning around dawn. We were all tired. It was amazing that we were still in the air.
I quickly scanned the treetops looking for a clearing. There! It was a perfect clearing. Well, not exactly a clearing exactly but the trees were thinner and it looked like there was enough space to land two at a time.
"Okay guys. Down there about two o'clock, we'll land in pairs. Nudge and Angel, Gazzy and Iggy, me and Fang. Go."
We each landed in the clearing and started choosing what trees we were going to sleep in tonight.
"What's for dinner?" Angel is whining once again about food. When will she ever stop? Oh that's right when she is fed.
"Fine, okay." I quickly pulled off my backpack and started to dig through it, looking for dinner. Finally, I pulled out some MREs or Meals Ready to Eat and handed them out to the kids which they eagerly ripped open.
Soon we were all going to bed in our designated trees with Fang taking the first shift. It wasn't really surprising that Fang would take the first watch after flying all day. He always seemed he had to prove that he was strong but it didn't really matter to me since my head was all foggy and confused from being sleep deprived.
It was nice to get some sleep even though I was woken up way too early by Iggy who was shaking me and saying "Max someone is out there!"
That was a definite wake up call I could have lived without.
Then I heard a twig snap and looked around to find a girl with wings dressed in black in the branch above Fang and of course she had a gun.
