Yo!

Ok, so this chapter is finally up. I know it's not as long as my previous ones, but hey, it's still a chapter. i know i've been taking FOREVER to update, but honnestly I'm having trouble coming u with the middle part. I have the ending (which is totally and epically awesome), but I'm kind of stuck in the centre.

So, topic of the chapter? Ideas. Where would you like this story to go? How should Indi and Chase get together? What journy should Indi take to discover her destiny and why her mother has been hiding her on the island? I'm welcome to any ideas.

Fly On...

Indi: The Hunting Falcon

Chapter 4: Leaving

Indi POV

The moment I landed in my room, I dived for my Hunting Falcon I had carefully hidden under my bed. I pulled it out and laid my beautiful sword on the bed, admiring it for a second.

This was defiantly the best birthday present ever.

I yanked my black bag off the hook beside the door. 3 sets of clothes, all summer stuff. Socks, undies, bras, a jumper. I also packed my Ipod, my phone, my wallet (and yes it had real money in it. Mum gave us pocket money mainly because I insisted when I was 12 even though we had nothing to spend it on apart from making bets).

I paused to pick up Lambie. Yes that's the stuffed velvet lamb I've had since I was born. Of course, it wasn't cuddly anymore. One ear was missing and its fur wasn't really velvet.

Sorry, Lambie. You can't come with me this time.

Once I had everything set, I took my Hunting Falcon and attached the sheath to my waist.

I looked at myself to in the mirror and smirked.

Ninja.

I nodded to myself.

Indi the Flying Ninja.

I'm so awesome.

I was quick to grab my bag. Throwing it over my back, I loosened the straps so my wings could fit through. Now I needed food.

I crept out of my room, closing my door behind me. Mum was asleep. I could hear her regular breathing from behind the door.

I skipped down the stairs heading straight to the kitchen. Food. Lots of it. I piled it light stuff, but stuff with lots of energy. Chocolate, Rice, Pasta, skittles, M'n'Ms, air sealed bacon (mmmm…), pancake mix, maple syrup, honey.

I also got the camping gear out. Matches, fire starters, pots, fryer, Cutlery and bowl. Also some oil. At the bottom of the pantry I found the first aid kit. Lots of bandages, Band-Aids, Antiseptic.

I was ready.

Time to wake the others.

"Gale."

Gale mumbled and turned over. His black sheets were tangled around him. So emo, but defiantly Gale like.

"Gale!" I whispered shouted.

Gale shot up out of his bed. He turned to me and narrowed his eyes. "What," he grumbled.

I grinned happily. "Pack your stuff. We're getting out of here."

Gale frowned. "What?"

I yanked him out of his bed. "Come on pack. Meet me at Chase and Vel's house."

"Wait… Where did you get that?"

I looked at my Samari sword on my hip and touched it with my flock banded hand. My grin widened. "Dad gave them to me."

Gale was about to say something when I cut over. "Later. Chase's house. 5 minutes."

I ran out his balcony door and leapt into the air before he even had time to ask another question. I flew straight to Chase and Velvet's house. Velvet's window was open, I zoomed straight through forward roll and standing up.

Vel shot up out of bed, "What on earth…?"

I grabbed her pink and black bag, chucking it at her. "We're leaving."

Velvet's eyes widened. "Whoa, Indi, like running away leaving?"

I grinned. "Of course not, we're just going to Di's."

Velvet raised an eyebrow. "Max?"

I paused and looked at her. She knew the answer without words.

Vel grinned. It was one of those grins she gave before she blew up half the house. She jumped out of the bed. "I'm so in."

"Why on earth do you have to make it that we leave the island at 10 o'clock at night?" Chase asked yawning. "I mean this is really cool, but I mean seriously? At night?"

I passed him a plastic bowl and cutlery set from the bottom of the pantry. I managed to send him a glare. "It's still my birthday. I can do what I want."

Chase rolled his eyes with a sly smile as he shoved a packet of pasta into his bag. "When do you never get what you want?"

I shoved him. "Shh. If your parents wake up, we're all dead."

Chase snorted. His eyes flickered to my sword. "You know Samaris are meant to go over your back not on your belt."

I sent him a sufficient glare. "Are not."

"Are too."

"Not."

"Too."

"Not."

"Too."

I poked my tongue out at him. "Not."

Chase grinned at me, but surprisingly silent. Just then, Vel skipped down the stairs. She eyed us curiously with a raised eyebrow, but I was staring at the bag. There was no way she was going to get any food in that thing.

"What have you got in there?" I whispered.

Velvet grinned sheepishly. It reminded me of Iggy. "Just some… necessary Items."

I grinned back. Obviously those necessary items came were bomb related. "Homework?" I suggested sarcastically.

"Of course," Velvet said dramatically. Chase rolled his eyes, giving his sister a look. I held my fist out and Vel tapped hers with mine.

Nothing beats girl power.

"What did I miss?"

All three of us turned to the door. Gale stood there leaning against the wall, a small smirk on his face. I threw him 2 packets of noodles and 3 tubes of condensed milk. He caught them rhythmically as if he was juggling, before shoving them into his backpack.

I grinned. "You guys ready?"

Velvet looked excited. She was virtually jumping up and down on the spot. Chase was rolling his eyes to the ceiling mumbling something about 'Indi getting whatever she wants', but I could tell he was hiding his excitement. Gale, who never really showed much emotion anyway, had a small smirk on his face. From that smile I could tell he was pumped.

None of us had ever done anything like this before.

"Come on," I gestured towards the door.

We excited the house out the back. The moon shone on the slightly wavy water. The stars shimmered brighter tonight as if they were laughing with us.

We were leaving the island. Of course, it was only for a couple of days, but I knew those days were going to change my life forever. I could just feel it.

That was a good thing.

I looked back at the island I was brought up in. I knew the whole place off by heart.

I touched my flock band carefully.

I glanced to my left. Gale met my gaze first. He smirked slightly. That same smirk that immediately linked him to Dad.

Velvet looked at caught my gaze next. She gave me that classic Vel grin. One that told me she was finally going to build that nuclear bomb.

I glanced to my right. Chase blue eyes sparkled slightly as he gave me a goofy grin. My best friend. My right hand guy.

"Up and Away?" I questioned to my family.

And that was it. We took to the sky. I ran and jumped first, spreading my grey wings and rising to meet the moon.

Little did I know the dangers I was facing.
