I can feel her presents, she's near, but there are some people with her.

"Phoenix, you finally came back."

But the storm that came about will it destroy her? I don't want anything like that to every happen to her again. I took off from where the two of us use to sleep together and was off to go and look for her.

"Phoenix, don't you worry, I'm coming for you."


I felt it . . . I felt him, we're near him. I stood up and ran for the door, pass the two guys that were standing right behind me, I ran to the deck. The guys ran after me.

"Xavier."

I whispered his name and it seems like the storm was slowly going away.

"Xavier!"

I yell out his name and the storm cleared away, and just as I was about to fly off Lavi grabbed hold of me.

"Lavi let me go!"

"No, you need to rest!"

"He's calling me. Lavi let go! I need to go to him."

"Go to who?! And no I'm not let you go!"

"Xavier, he's calling me! Let me go!"

"Look, I can see the island, just stay pu-"

I fly off with him still hanging on, but I land on the island with him anyways; he makes me sit there and wait for the boat to land. Once Bookman was near Lavi let me go and we walked around the island looking for the spot that Xavier and I use to sleep together. Once I found the right path I ran off, I was calling his name as I was running; but when I got there, no Xavier. Just a piece of my ripped cloak, some fruit the two of us use to share together, old fish bones, and some of his feathers. I just sat there I grabbed a really nice yellow looking fruit and just tossed it in the air and caught it, I kept this doing this till the red head and Bookman came into view.

"Hey guys you want some?"

I say sadly as I stood up and brought them the make shift bowl that I made a month ago.

"You think we should go back to the shore and wait for this guy?"

Lavi said as I placed a fruit in his mouth to shut him up. I went to the shore line, walked a little further so my feet will be covered by the sea water, I then looked up to the cloudy sky.

'Xavier where are you? I heard you calling my name, so where are you now?'

I asked myself, then an idea clicked in my head. When ever I cooked the fish over the open fire he always comes right back . . . no matter where he is on the island. That in itself brought a smile to my face and I dashed off where the trees were.

"Phoenix?"

"I know what I'm suppose to do now!"

I say happily, I took the jacket off and hung on the leaning tree.

"Turn around please."

I say to the two guys that were still standing in the little jungle. Bookman made Lavi turn around and took everything else off, I felt so free being out all that clothes; I ran to the ocean and dived I looked for the net that I laid out here a while ago, brought it up to the surface, smelled it.

"That can't be good to eat. Even better."

I then cut them up pulled off a branch from a tree ripped the hem of my dress and made that to the line; I then tied what is now bait to the other end of the string. I sat on a rock and sat, and sat.

"Hey, why are you doing this again?"

Lavi says as he takes a sit right next to me.

"Normally Xavier comes right back when he smells me cooking. That's how he knows its starting to get late and should come back."

"I see, so who's this Xavier guy?"

"He's the one that saved me, and treated my wounds the best he can, kept me safe through the night after the demons attacked."

He didn't say anything after that, but grabbed my makeshift fishing rod and told me to put my clothes back on after I finish drying. I went back into the woods to grab some things to make a fire, I made it dried off some more, and then I put my clothes back on; by the time I was done there was eight fishes roasting on the open fire. When it was done the two of them began to eat as I sat there staring off into space.

"Xavier, where are you my friend?"

I thought sadly as I start to pick at my food.

"I don't get it, he should be here by now, he comes when I'm half way done with the fish."

I say more to myself than anyone really.

"Don't worry about a thing Phoenix, if there's one thing that I know the most is; a man will come running home when he knows his woman's cooking."

Bookman said as he looked in the same direction as me.

"Besides, don't woman say 'the quickest way to a man's heart is his stomach'?"

I smile a little at that.

"Well, I'm not too sure about that one, never really cooked for man other than my father and his brother. And I'm not his woman, I am not own by anyone."

I took a bite out of my fish pulling out the bones along the way, I pulled out the eye ball; Xavier's favorite part of the fish, so he says. I tried it for the first time, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I finished that one, and didn't even touched the second fish. So I stood up and walked to the shore line again waiting for him to come.

"Phoenix is that you?"

I heard someone say in my mind, I looked up at that and say him. He landed not too far from where the fire was.

"XAVIER!!"

I yelled with glee as I ran to where he was, tears came to my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck; and noticed that he has gotten bigger the last time I saw him.

"You ass hole, you had me worried sick! I thought that those demons came and made food out of you!"

He just laughs at me as he hugs me back, he walks beside me back to the camp fire.

"Bookman, Lavi; this is Xavier. Xavier; this is Bookman, and Lavi."

The look on Lavi's face was something to laugh about. He pulled me off to the side.

"You didn't tell me that he was a bird."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"You never asked, and plus why would it matter?"

I say with a smile and then walked back over to where Xavier sat waiting for me.

'What was that about?'

"He thought you were human, that's all."

'So you were talking about me.'

"Sure was, just never told them that you were a falcon . . . never thought that would really matter at all, you know what I mean right?"

He nods his head and began to eat the fish that Lavi caught for us.

"We found what you are looking for right? So we can leave now?"

I shake me head as I stroke Xavier's back.

"No I still need to find my mother, father, and older sister."

'Don't worry Phoenix, we'll find them.'

"Hey Lavi, where did that Finder go?"

"He's back on the boat."

I nod my head and look back up at the sky.

"They're here on this island somewhere, I can feel it."
