As we sat around in the tree tops eating our fire cooked hot dogs Gazzy was showing off his new ability of super strength. Even though I really didn't feel like dealing with this right now I knew that it would eventually come in handy. I'll never have to carry one of the dogs again. Gazzy's new power had everyone excited.
"Do it again, do it again!" Nudge chirped.
Gazzy reached up and ripped a large branch off of the tree, then threw it. We didn't see it land but we heard a quiet crash. Even watching it now I still couldn't believe it.
"Okay guys I think Gazzy has shown off enough for now. We should get some rest. I have a feeling it will be a big day tomorrow."
Everyone chose a branch and settled down. Total was down doing his business and tried with his still forming wings to fly to the branch he was sharing with Akilia but, he only made it three feet in the air then fluttered down. Gazzy floated down and lifted Total with ease and placed him on the branch next to Akilia. Then he flew back to his branch and closed his eyes.
. . .
I did a quick 360 sweep. Everyone had fallen asleep. Except I couldn't tell with Fang because of his new power and all. Sometimes it made me worry because I couldn't know if he was still there or not. I stared at the branch where he was sitting and saw nothing. Then something brushed my shoulder. I jump and about fell out of the tree. Luckily I hadn't woken the others. It was just Fang.
"Want to go for a fly?" Fang asked.
I knew what this was about but, how could I say no to a late night fly? I really need the freedom of flight right now and truthfully (though I would never admit it aloud) I really wanted another chance to make things right with Fang.
He looked at me really wanting an answer to his question. I nodded and jumped off my branch unfolding my wings.
