FLASHBACK CHAPTER! YAY!

Over her time in the woods, stealing from the ranger station, Phoebe Dylan had got to know the people that worked there well- not that they knew her. Phoebe watched them, perched in a nearby tree. Their lives became her daily entertainment.

The forest rangers talking about random crap- then the girl came. All the park rangers talked about her after that. Orsay this, Orsay that, Behind her back, Orsay's mad. Even her father believed her to be crazy.

Phoebe sat in her tree, nibbling at a stolen multi-grain bar. Flying took a lot out of you. She watched as Orsay Pettijohn- the coolest name Phoebe had ever heard- linked up online to a school in "Sunnyvale" wherever that was. Orsay was just a bit older than her.

When the girl turned off her computer, she looked out of the window and spotted Phoebe. She fell out of the tree in shock- dropping her juice cartoon, yelping. Within two minutes Orsay stood over her, 'Are you okay, why were you sat in the tree watching me?'

'I'm fine- and I'm bored.' Orsay's eyebrows rose, 'Shouldn't you be at school?'

'I don't go to school.' Orsay looked her up and down, 'What's your name?'

'Umm…' Phoebe didn't want to tell her- she might have heard about the "Dylan house-bomb" incident.

'Do you want me to call someone, do you need help? How did you get out here alone?'

'I'm fine' Phoebe answered quickly, she stood up and winced- Orsay could see her wings. 'You…' her eyes widened.

Phoebe spun and contracted the inhuman muscles in the bottom of her back- bursting into the air. That was the last time she saw Orsay- in physical form anyway- the day before the adults disappeared.

Orsay had looked for Phoebe, to no success- she stayed allusive till one night when phoebe slept to close to the Ranger Station. Orsay had been in her dream.

Phoebe was glad to find that she wasn't alone in this- that other people were mutated freaks along with her- but not so happy that Orsay knew what she dreamed about at night. Phoebe decided to avoid her even more- right up to the day the dream walker left.
