On Our Way

Gwen's P.O.V.

"Alright! Only a few of you are going!" Max started.

"Gwen, Kale, Fang, and Dylan are going. The rest of you say your goodbyes, and don't keep them from packing!" Max barked orders. I sighed and started for the steps when Ryan grabbed me around the waist and pulled me to the back door.

"You could've just said 'Come over here'!" I laughed.

"Yah, but then your little sheep would've followed, Bo Peep," he grinned as he put a finger to my lips and yanked the door open.

"Go!" He hurried. I rolled my eyes and continued out the door. He shut it and turned to me.

"Alright, now we can talk," he sighed as he slumped against the door.

"That…that…err…that k-k…" I couldn't get it out. I got the jitters. He looked up to me and swiped the hair out of his eyes.

"The kiss, Porky Pig?" He finished. I swallowed and nodded.

"I figured," he looked away.

"Was that real?" I asked.

"You weren't dreaming, and Kale defiantly thought it was, so yah. That was real," Ryan assured.

"No! I mean, do you like me?" I whispered.

"No, I just go around kissing every girl I see…YES I like you!" Ryan exclaimed with sarcasm. I smiled and blushed, but overhead we heard a slight gasp and a form fell down. Wings spread and tried to catch it, but the being landed clumsily in a wad on the ground. That's when I knew it was Kale.

"What are you doing?!" I screamed. He climbed to his feet and dusted himself off.

"I'm not doing what you think I am!" He shouted. Ryan lunged forward, grabbing Kale by the collar of his shirt.

"You stupid, immature spy!" Ryan growled. Kale's eyes widened.

"I am not spying! I just simply overheard something and it struck me so that I fell out the window!" Kale defended.

"And what, exactly, were you doing hanging out the window?" I questioned, propping a hand on my hip. Like I didn't already know the answer…

"It's a free country and I can do whatever I want!" Kale crossed his arms. Ryan frowned and narrowed his eyes.

"All lambs have to go to slaughter some time, hmm Bo Peep? Why not by my fist!" And with that the boys got into a scuffle.

The door opened and there stood Ella with a bag full of trash.

"Geez! Seriously?!" She groaned.

"Max! There's a mini Fang and Dylan fight out here!" She yelled over her shoulder. Then she tossed the trash to Kale and said, "Throw this away, I don't want to get in the middle of this."

As Ella closed the door Kale looked down at the trash bag and smirked. He grabbed it by the top and swung. It hit Ryan and then it was on. Kale armed with the trash and Ryan wielding a trash can lid that he found on the steps.

"BOYS! QUIT!" I yelled as I pushed them apart. I glanced at each. Kale's nostrils flared and Ryan was obviously ignoring me.

"Kale! Go inside! Now!" I ordered. He resisted at first, but then I pushed him inside and locked the door. Ryan was panting. He looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"Ryan?" I calmed as I pried the lid from his grip.

"Sorry, that kid just…I should try harder to get along, but he's…" Ryan tried to explain.

"Stupid, I know…" I gave a slight chuckle. He nodded and stood straighter to wipe his hands on his pants.

"I'll, uh, see ya when you get back," he frowned.

"Yep, I'll be waiting," I said awkwardly. Then he hugged me tight and then quickly let go.

"Don't die, or come home in a wedding dress. If Kale says anything I'll rip his throat out!" He grumbled.

"Kale's just protective. I'm the only thing he has left. Besides, he's scared off the dark…it's not like you couldn't just cut off the lights for payback," I laughed.

"He talked to me while you were asleep. We had an argument about who was better, me or him, and it got to the point to where we threw punches. He said that I've only known you for a couple of hours and he's known you for years…lada lada blah blah. Anyway, you don't like him, do you?" Ryan stared into my eyes.

"He's a friend," I shrugged.

"Gwen! Gosh! Hurry up! We've got to GO!" Fang threw the door open and grabbed my shoulder, dragging me inside.

"Fine!" I snapped. Ryan followed.

"Here!" Kale tossed me a backpack. It was full.

"You packed my bag?" I asked.

"Yep," he mumbled. Ryan sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Ok, so you all are going to be good, right?" Max said as she looked at the three boys.

"Yup!" Kale nodded and smiled as he shifted under his pack.

"You're going to send Dylan and Fang…together?" Nudge asked warily.

"Gwen can control them," Max winked at me. Oh no, no, no! Don't leave me with the morons!

"Gwen can't fly! She broke some of the bones in her wings!" Dr. M interrupted.

"That's easy!" Kale laughed as he threw me over his shoulder, making Ryan growl.

"From my calculations, Kale's new power should allow him to carry her at great speeds for nearly nine hours-no breaks," Susan agreed.

"You got a power?" I asked as I slid off his shoulder. He nodded and shied away a little.

"Strength," he whispered.

"Lucky you! I have nothing!" I punched him playfully.

"Yah," he chuckled.

"Alright! Lets go!" Fang hurried.

"Did you forget something?!" Max crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Right!" Fang remembered as he went to hug her. Dylan gagged a bit. Dylan really had to turn around when Fang kissed her goodbye.

"Ok, here Gwen, you can have this. It'll pick up way up high and it has a tracker in it incase you don't come home for a while so we'll know where to find you," Jim handed me a phone.

"Cool," Kale breathed as he reached for it and began pressing random buttons. I snatched it from him.

"This is not goodbye, right?" Jes asked as he gave me puppy eyes.

"We'll come home, I swear," I nodded. Then Dr. M came forward to give us all hugs.

"Be safe, Gwen take care of the boys," she said. I nodded.

"Storm's in charge while I'm gone," Dylan said to the Migration, including the new members.

"Lets go!" Fang urged. I tucked the phone in my pocket and Kale picked me up, bridal style. He shot a grim smile to Ryan who gave him the I'm-watching-you! symbol. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Up and away!" Dylan called.

And just like that we left the mansion behind. We were heading to our own town. I'm not going to tell you where it is, just incase you're creepy stockers-no offense.

-some many hours later-

"This phone rocks!" I laughed. I was texting Flair about a little incident that happened while I was asleep.

'So what happened?' I texted. A couple of seconds later came her reply.

'We were fighting and he pinned me…'

'Ok, go on!'

'Chill, like I was saying, he pinned me and mocked me. Then he…'

'Gosh! You're killing me, Flair!'

'LOL, it works! Anyway, he kissed me.'

'WHAT?! XOXO! Flair3Ice! Wow! Go team Opposites!'

'I don't 3 him! He kissed ME!'

'And you loved it!'

'Did NOT!'

'Sure, sure, XD like I believe that! If you had kids would they control flaming water? LOL! JK!'

'I hate you! And no I don't love him! I almost gagged and died! :*( it was disgusting! And I hate him, too!'

'Fice? Flice? Ilair? Iflair? I can't think of a good one!'

'Shut up! If I could send fire through the phone…!'

Then I burst into laughter. Kale glanced down at me.

"What are you giggling about?" He questioned.

"Nothing," I lied.

'Srry, I have to get off cuz Max is yelling at Iggy and Gazzy for blowing up the blender. Guess who lit the fuze ;)'

I turned the cell phone off and put it in my pocket.

"It's getting dark," Dylan yelled back, "so start looking for a motel!"

Kale shifted me and stared down into my eyes.

"Are you tired?" He asked.

"I haven't done anything," I chuckled.

"I feel like I'm carrying a cuddly teddy bear," he mumbled.

"Did you just call me fat?" I almost shouted.

"Nope, I called you cuddly!" He smiled as he squeezed me to him.

"You're stupid," I groaned as I pushed away. I didn't count on rolling out of his arms.

"Gwen!" Fang shouted. Kale swooped down and grabbed my wrist. He hauled me back up.

"You scared the frick out of me!" Kale panted.

"You were scared?!" I joked. He only clutched to me harder.

-after the sun went down-

The sun sunk below the horizon and rolling hills, basking the fields below in golden light. As dusk took over I felt even more cozy. A cool chill was in the breeze, and as I looked over Kale's shoulder I could see gray voids of clouds chasing us.

"Guys! It's gonna pour!" I screamed. Then a flash of light filled the sky and Kale jumped. Thunder roared, filling my ears and echoing over the barren, empty land below.

"We have to land!" Dylan ordered over the pelting rain.

Lightning cracked again. It whipped through the air. As the thunder sounded again my adrenaline spiked.

"Don't let go of me Gwen," Kale said sternly as I latched to his shirt, that was soaked. Another gust of wind blew by with such force Kale's wings bent in.

"There's a tiny town!" Fang pointed ahead.

"Ok! We'll meet there! Go!" Dylan cried.

And that was the last we heard of him, for the white electric strip shot down and Kale had to back pedal in order to keep us from being fried.

"We're going down!" Kale screamed at me. He hugged me close as his wings folded in. We did land, or crash. A small abandoned convenient store was the only thing that could keep us from the rain.

"C'mon!" He called. His hand wrapped around my wrist and pulled me inside. He slammed the door shut.

I stood there dripping wet and shivering.

"That was great!" He sighed and sat down, leaning against an empty shelf. I tried to warm myself.

"Come here before you get sick and we have to baby you, again," Kale motioned me over. I sat down awkwardly beside him. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

"I hate storms!" He grumbled. I yawned and sunk down.

"Go to sleep Gwen, it's ok. I got you," Kale assured.

"I'm not scared," I chuckled.

"Yes you are, shut up," he said stubbornly. I only rolled my eyes and rolled over. This trip wasn't going so well.
