"come on! max! can we just find somewhere to stay?" i shout. we've now been traveling for three days straight and at night us older kids have had to take turns carrying the little ones so they can rest.

"ya i'm tired i want to be able to properly sleep tonight" nudge complains from her position directly in front of me but far from max.

"seriously its been three days sense any of us older ones have had sleep, or proper sleep for the younger ones, we need a place to..." my voice trails as my vision blurrs around the ages "...stay." i whisper the last word as the orange and red of the flock turns to black my wings go limp and i fall "CHRIS!" is the last thing i hear.

i wake to the bright color of the sun disappearing from the world. its been hours sence everything went black. max is carrying angle fang carrying gazzy and nudge settling into Iggy's arms. i look up to Taylor and feel his arms titen around me as i stir.

"hey, your awake." i hear Taylor's loving voice.

"what happened?" i whisper

"there" max says "we can stay there" she starts spiralling down keeping a tite hold on angle fang does the same and nudge leaps out of Iggy's arms and falls toward max. Taylor keeps his grip and follows last.

once we all settle down me and max go for a walk around the perimeter of the woods.

"look i think you should back down" i say to max

"what?" she shouts back

"you don't care enough. you let me, no made me, fly for three days straight even though you KNEW that i was hurt and you let me get so tired i plummeted toward the earth!" i said "your done and im taking this over" i walk back to the flock with a stunned max starring at my back.
