Declaimer: I don't own the flock, but I do own the plot.
2. Mother Nature
I've got one thing to say about Mother Nature. She loves kicking people when their down. Take me for example.
There I was, barely five miles away and already an emotional mess. Below me is this nice creepy forest. I'm thinking how it could get any worse when it starts raining, and not just any rain. It was the bone chilling knocking feathers off kind.
Ever tried flying through rain like that? So it's a given that I had to land. Can you guess where? If you said dark spooky forest you would be right. So I prepare to land.
But it couldn't be that easy could it? As I was snapping my wings back for the landing, a gust of wind slammed into to me. This, of course, causes me to slam into a tree, right wings first. I hit with a pleasantly nasty crack. My wing felt as if somebody had poured boiling hot lava on it. It didn't take a genius to realize that it was broken.
So here I am, cold, wet, and broken winged. Should I stay here or continue by walking? I thought about going to Mom's place, but the flock would surely find me there. Besides, I didn't want them endangered.
If I stayed here the flock would surely find me. I sat against the tree that I had just broken my wing on. Okay Max, time for one of your famous plans. How could I travel so that the flock couldn't find me? Walking was too slow and the sky out of question now. Dimly, I heard the cars on the highway. Of course, a car! I could steal a car. I made my way toward the highway.
Seeing as me and Mother Nature weren't on good terms right now, I stayed as far from the trees as I could in a forest.
///Sorry about its shortness, but I was afraid that if I didn't hurry up and type already that I would lose the courage to post it at all. Tell me what you think. Thanks angelz on edge, Katie-3llem, Cooleosis, Ms.Max.Ride for your reviews. Ms.Max.Ride, I'll answer your questions in the fourth chapter. Can't in the next, sorry. The story is set after the third book if that helps.
