Skye P.O.V.
It was amazing, when you fly. Like floating on water and never sinking. And Max was a great teacher. I had only been in the air once before, and that was in the school when I was running away from one of their "tests". I was so panicked I started moving my wings, and not even on purpose. I was lifted in the air, but I fell down again really soon.
With Max showing me what to do and then helping me do it, I was flying like a pro in no time.
"Wow, Skye. You're a natural!" Max said. "Just an little tomorrow and you'll be as good as we are." It felt good knowing I could fly.
"No, it's because you are such a great teacher." I said. "But I still won't be like one of you guys. You're all strong and tough and I'm so weak. I can't help at all with fighting!"
"Skye, I know you're strong." Max said. "You're just as tough as me and Fang. And I know that because you survived. You lived and ran away from the robots, and you didn't just give in to the school. That shows that you are tough on the inside. All you need to do is let it out, and you will be able to destroy all those robots yourself. You could even destroy the school." I could tell she meant it. Max really thought I was strong.
"Thanks, Max. You're like my older sister that I never had. You take care of me even though I haven't done anything for you. But why? Why do you do it?" I asked. She was thinking of a response.
"You stood up for yourself, and wouldn't let the school use you as a lab rat. That's enough for me. I know that they're bad and anyone who stands up to them has done something for me. " She said. "Come inside. It's getting late. And I'm sure you're hungry. Let's go see what Iggy made for dinner."
"Sure! I'm really hungry!" I said, then I followed Max inside. I'm sure she trusts me now almost as much as she trusts the flock that she's know their entire life, and I liked that. You need a leader who trusts you. And now I have one.
