Chapter four: The Guests' Plan

Hyrum blinked his eyes open to find light drifting in from the window in the masters bedroom. Today was the day they would head downtown. He looked down to see Arlene sill sleeping on his chest. Hyrum patted her softy with his wing.

"Rise and sine, Arlene. Its a big day today." She opened one eye and smiled

"I could get used to this, Hyrum." She said. they got up and walked into the living room. Tomada was slicing some apples in the kicthen, while Alex stared at the TV that read: Please Stand By. As Jameson drew lines on a map.

"Good morning Arlene and Hyrum. When do we leave?" Sorrel asked.

"Whenever Jameson has a strong plan." Sorrel shook her head

"I have a bad feeling about staying here." She said. Arlene walked up to Jameson.

"We should head for a hotel, they have the most supplies." She said, Jameson looked up.

"Good idea." He said. Just then, right as Tomada was about to say 'Breakfast is done!" a voice sounded from the shadows.

"No its not." All of a sudden a female Elf Owl appeared out of know where.

"Why?" Tomada said

"And where did you come from?" Alex asked, in awe at the Elf Owls beauty.

"I was inadvisable, so I was here the whole time. My names Skyler" She said

"Skyler... WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT HELP US!" Jameson screamed "I HAD TO SHOOT MY FRIEND IN THE HEAD CAUSE' OF YOU!" He launched himself Skyler, but Hyrum, Arlene and Tomada stopped him.

"Whoa there calm down buddy, She has her reasons, right?" Tomada turned to Skyler.

"Thank you Tomada, I was thinking of a plan to help you guy's, because the zombie birds can't see me when I'm invisible." She said Jameson looked down. While Alex couldn't take his eyes off her, her elegant drown feathers captivated him. Now he couldn't blame Hyrum.

"Now you still have a chance to get laid." Hyrum mocked in Alex's ear. Although he didn't Alex didn't hear what he said, he was to lost in thought.

"What's your plan?" Arlene said Skyler turned to her

"We split up, groups of two should be best." She replied. Hyrum eyed her suspiciously,

"How do you know?" Skyler got a sad look in her eye.

"I watched so many big groups of survivors die. The smaller the group the less noise make and space you take up. The more you fly the more you die." A tear tricked down her cheek. "Who wants to be in a group together?" Tomada and Sorrel instantly joined wings, Alex awkwardly walked towards Skyler. Hyrum and Arlene stood next to each other, only Jameson stood alone.

"I'll be by myself." He said, "I can take care of myself." Alex snapped out of his daydream and said

"Jameson, buddy, come with us. They're is plenty of room." Jameson looked up

"Thank you, I will come." He said happily. Hyrum looked around

"We should prepare for heading out on our two's. Use everything you can find." He said. Hyrum and Arlene walked out into the the masters, Hyrum tripped over is own talons, Arlene looked down, helped him up and chuckled

"You okay, Hyrum?" She questioned. Before he could answer, Alex cut him off

"He was too busy enjoying the view!" He called. Arlene slightly laughed

"You wish he was Alex!" She called back. Hyrum however couldn't care less in his mind. Once they were in the bedroom Hyrum asked:

"Do you know how to fight?" Arlene handed him a stick, for she too had one in her wings.

"Will see." The engaged in a simulation fight, Arlene went for his open wing with her stick, but Hyrum was trained by the best swords man in the Northern Kingdoms, Evelyn. (Turn's out hey got married, banged each other before hand... well never mind you get the picture, right?) Hyrum easy knocked the stick out of her wing and put in on her neck.

"Your good, for a first timer. You remind me of a girl I had the pleasure to know. Her name was Evelyn." He said. Arlene looked into his eyes she thought she saw a life time of memories, both fun and heat breaking, Then she remembered he said had as in something happened.

"What happened, Hyrum?" She said and wrapped a wing around him, a tear ran down his face

"Evelyn was my mate, over here its called wife. She trained me, we became friends. She... she..." More tears ran down his face as all the memories came flooding back, Arlene wiped the tears away with her pointer feather,

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to" She cooed, Hyrum rested his head on her shoulder.

"She was my best friend, she understood me and what I had been though... why did she have to leave so soon!" He cried harder on Arlene's shoulder. Oh how she felt the heart break poring from this creature sitting next to her. How she wished she could comfort him.

"It's okay, I got you..." She began to wonder if she'd just sent this once proud and willy Hyrum spinning into depression, but his strong and clear voice spoke out.

"Some day if there is an afterlife, I'll personally introduce all you to her one by one..." Arlene was moved by his words. She almost shed a tear by how much he loved her.

"Come on lets get going." She walked into the living room where Tomada, Sorrel, Alex, Skyler and Jameson stood waiting with Hyrum behind her.

"We all ready?" Jameson said, the group nodded,

"See you on the other side than." Sorrel said as they all flew out for the lats time...
