I know I just posted Chapter Three, but I wrote this and resided to just post it now. So yeah.
K POV-
Yeah, yeah, I know. 'Why no blankets', right? Well if you haven't already guessed, I try not to be selfish.
The kids need them more than me. I guess Sparrow thinks the same thing. Also, I didn't actually sleep. At all. I was keeping watch. You never know when someone could show up. I only laid on the ground for, like, twenty minutes.
Then, of course, I got restless. So I got up and climbed the tree. Wonderful way to occupy time, I know, but what can I say? Now that we didn't have the constant threat I didn't have anything to do.
I'm actually surprised the twins didn't hear me. We'll have to work on their perception skills.
Yeah, I knew they where awake, but I let them have their fun. They deserve it. So, about ten minutes off sitting in the tree, listening to the twins talk quietly, my /Wonderfully cat-like friend/ decides to pay me a visit. It went like this-
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I'm hanging upside down in a /tree/. Geez, I'm way too restless. Actually this isn't actually to uncomfortable. I mean, I'm hanging by my legs, so there's no worry of falling or anything.
"Hey." A voice suddenly whispered from beside me. Since I wasn't expecting it, I promptly had to stifle many, many words that were about to flying out of my mouth.
I turned my head to the side and gave Sparrow my best death glare.
"You freaking jerk. You can't around being all cat mode and stuff. Geez. Be more.. Bird or something." I whisper-yelled. What? I didn't want to alert the kids but I had to get my point across, you know?
All Sparrow did was smile and shake his head, stifling his laughter. Jerk.
I realise now, that we are both hanging upside down in a tree. Welp. This /isn't/ what I would expected myself to be doing. Then again, a day ago I wouldn't have expected myself to have gotten out of the Institute, but here we are.
Just to mess with him, I pulled the beanie off of his head. He made a weird surprised grunt noise (I'm guessing that was partly from the sudden cold and being able to hear correctly) and glared at me.
"Give it back." He commanded, reaching for it. I easily held it out of his reach.
"Nope." I said, pulling my self upright in the tree. I quickly shoved the beanie in the pocket.
As I looked up, Sparrow was /right there/. I blinked in surprise, but then acted innocent.
"What?" I asked, holding my hands behind my back and bouncing on the balls of my feet.
"Something wrong, friend?" I asked sweetly. Ha, yeah right. I could see that he was smirking, and was about to tackle me or something, but I apparently took a subconscious step backwards. This caused me to slip. And fall. Out of a /tree/.
I closed my eyes and waited for some sort of impact, but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was indeed not standing on my branch. Or anything for that matter.
I looked up to see that Sparrow had somehow grabbed my wrist, and was now the only thing keeping me from falling. It's not like I had enough room to use my wings or anything. It's a tree. There are leaves everywhere.
He pulled me up so that I was no longer, you know, /hanging off of a tree/, and we both sat down, out legs hanging down. In case you where wondering, it's not a small tree. It's actually huge. So there's plenty of room on the branch.
We listened to the twins whispering to each other, even though we couldn't make out the words. After a while I realised that at some point we had both gotten up to go sit up against the trunk, so we were sitting there, side by side again. We sat in silence, a comfortable one, not one of those weird awkward ones.
-At some point I managed to fall asleep. I hoped that Sparrow was awake to keep watch, but what I didn't know was that he had also fallen asleep.
And I also didn't know that Krys would get some crazy ideas when she found us the next morning. Flipping Wonderful.
I know it's kinda short but ypu can deal with it. I posted chapter three like twenty minutes ago.
