As I fell I heard Beverly's voice in my head, she was screaming and apologizing over and over again. I shook my head in a vain attempt to clear it and then realized I was still falling.
Where is Kevin?
I tried to move and realized the only part of my body that I could move was my head, so I looked around. I was still falling, the flock was above me trying not to freak out to much, nothing was on either of my sides and below me was a quickly approaching house.
There is a house down there! House equals people!
I new Beverly was wincing as I screamed into her head, but I was too occupied by the falling and the house with the possibility of people oh yeah, and the fact that Kevin wasn't saving me!
That hurt! And he's already saving you!
Confused I looked around and saw a flash of brown and white before being pulled into Kevin's arms and receiving a small worried smile. I opened my mouth to say something just as he landed out side of the house; I snapped my neck around to look at it and heard my neck crack in the process.
I still didn't have any control over my body and I was too shocked to speak so Kevin just walked into the house and set me down on an old couch. I heard him whispering in my ear, but for some reason I was tired and almost instantly fell asleep.
Jamie's Dream
Faster, hurry! I was running down a dark street, something felt weird about the town I was in and as I took a left I saw why. My body stopped right at the edge of the town almost as If debating what to do.
Almost a second later it started to run again, I tried to make my self stop, but it only seemed to make me go faster and faster. I ran until my body stopped out side of a yellow house, sitting on the porch was Kevin and Brook.
She smiled up at Kevin as he took her hand and then I watched in shock as he let her leaned in and kissed him. Instantly my hands curled into fists and I all I felt was rage as I attacked Brook.
(End dream)
I woke up and sat up looking around quickly, spotting Kevin sleeping on the floor next to me, his head resting on the edge of the couch and his hand resting over mine. With a quick smile I looked around for the rest of the flock, only seeing their backpacks I figured that they were sleeping in one of the other rooms.
I remembered my dream and realized why Kevin had brutally attacked that eraser on the roof, his bird instincts had kicked in just like mine had in my dream when Brook was sitting with my family and smiling at Kevin while they held hands.
Just remembering my dream brought tears to my eyes, as I started to cry Kevin's hand tightened around mine and he sat up to stare at me. I looked away and used my free hand to dry my eyes. "Jamie, what's wrong?"
I shook me head and took a deep breath "Just a dream." I knew he was waiting for me to continue, but I just ignored him and stood up to check on the flock. Kevin didn't let go of my hand so I dragged him through the house with me.
I had gone upstairs expecting them to be in the bedrooms, but when they weren't there I went back downstairs and looked into the dinning room. Hunter was sleeping on the table with his feet hanging off while Alana and Darren were under it, a blanket hung on three sides making their sleeping space look like a makeshift tent.
After giving them each a kiss and making sure they were warm enough I let Kevin lead me in to a study. Colton was curled up with Mathew and Maria in front of a desk and with further inspection I realized that Beverly had cried herself to sleep under it and that she was clinging to one of my sweaters.
I kissed the three I could reach and then used bambi eyes on Kevin; with a sigh he moved around the desk and pulled Beverly out from under it before picking her up and carrying her out to the living room.
I sat down on the couch and opened my arms for Kevin to put her down; he did and then sat next to me. That's how we fell asleep, Kevin's strong arm around me, and my head resting on his shoulder while Beverly was curled up in my lap.
