Chapter 16
Everyone left. Ax ate some more after demorphing and remorphing. He ate until he could not eat any more. I was glad I had eaten earlier during the telling of our trip though time, because any appetite I might have had would have been gone by watching Ax.
"Wow, he can eat, can't he?" Tabitha said a little in disgust, and a little in awe.
"Oh yeah."
"I am finished. The stomach is full. I would like to run now if that is possible." Ax said looking up from the carnage of food.
"Sure. Um, we could go to where you live. We have a lot of time, and I would like to see were you live, Tobias."
"Okay, but I want to fly over." The walls were making me nervous, even in human morph.
"No problem, I'll take my bike."
We headed out. Tabitha went on her bike, and Ax and I went as birds of prey. We guided her the way with the most downhill slopes. Altitude, even on the ground equals speed. She was fantastic. Down every hill she would flap her arms madly and glide down. She seemed to know how to push every grade, how to milk every slope. She was a human of wings. We are definitely related.
We got to Cassie's farm, which is near my meadow and Ax's scoop. She was in there from what I could see in the air. She was trying to give an ugly goose some meds.
She nodded at us in acknowledgement. I swooped in though the hay door and to my usual perch. Ax came in right after.
"Hello. What are you up to?" she asked Tabitha. Cassie had a way of seeing though people seeing what they were really thinking and feeling.
My sister was still smiling from the exhilarating ride. "I'm going to go see Tobias' meadow, and Ax's...well what do you call the place were you live?"
((It is called a scoop.)) Ax replied from the rafter next to me.
"Ax's scoop," Tabitha repeated before turning back to Cassie in question. "May I leave my bike here until tonight?"
"Sure, no problem. Won't your mom be worried? I mean you staying out all day?"
"No, my mom will be at meeting all evening, she won't get back until very, very late," answered Tabitha. I could see her shoulder sloop, and her head hang.
"What sorts of meetings?" Cassie inquired.
"This organization," Tabitha explained. "Just in the past week or two she has really got into it. She has been involved for a while, but lately she has been really busy.
"What organization?"
"The Sharing."
