Nature
Gwen's P.O.V.
"So…what do we do first?" Alex asked.
"Lets work on survival strategies," Storm tried.
"OH MY GOSH A SQUIRREL!" Jes cried as he raced to a tree.
We all did a face palm, except for Kale.
"Where?!" He shrieked spinning in circles trying to find it wildly.
"Guys! Focus!" Dylan snapped.
"Are you all usually like this?" Selene asked Ebony. Ebony only nodded.
"Eww!" 24 gagged. She had stepped in a mud puddle.
"What's this growing on the trees?" Flair asked as she pointed to a green fuzzy vegetation on the bark.
"It's mold," Ice answered.
"No it's not," Sparks shook her head.
"Yes it is!" Ice growled.
"It's moss!" Sparks snapped.
"Everyone just shut up!" Storm screamed.
Everyone froze.
"We're going to work on survival tactics, got it? Now, I want you all to start a fire," Dylan ordered sternly. We all looked to Flair.
"Without Flair," he added. We all groaned.
"Ok…we got this…" I nodded. Everyone just looked at me, "maybe we should find some wood?"
"Oh, that sounds difficult, considering we're in a freaking forest filled with trees!" Ice said sarcastically.
"Now…how to get the wood from the trees?" Kale asked.
"Dude, you're an idiot," Jace frowned.
"How so?" Kale asked, a little offended.
Jace reached up and broke a branch off a tree.
"It's magic," Ice smirked. Does his sarcasm ever come to an end?!
"That's not gonna work. That branch is fresh, it holds moisture so it's not going to be of much use," Alex, the brainiac.
"Storm…" I gestured to the branch.
"Oh, gotcha," he nodded as he pulled the water from the piece of wood.
"Ok, now…if 24 heats it with her light then it should go up in flames," I continued.
"Or you could do this?" Redneck offered as she pulled a match from her pocket and lit it.
"Ok Dylan! We made fire!" Selene yelled.
"Can I have those?!" Jes asked. Redneck tossed him the pack of matches. He lit one before any of us could get them away.
"Sweet," Jester watched the tiny flame flicker, as it reached the bottom of the match it caught his finger. He yelped in pain and chucked the lit match at me. It hit the bottom of my new blue jeans and I was on fire. I heard a shriek and I thought it was me, until Kale picked me up screaming and literally threw me into the nearby lake. I yelped when I was tossed into the water.
"What is wrong with you?!" I heard Ryan growl at Kale as I emerged from the water. My pants were burned to shorts that would make me look a whole lot like Louise, if you catch my drift.
"A lot of things," Melee answered for him.
"Gwen! Get out of the water! We aren't having a pool party!" Dylan scolded.
"You know what Dylan?!" I sneered as I spread my wings and tried to fly with wet feathers. I managed to land in front of him. "We just want to have fun. We don't want to live like scared little mutant freaks who only worry about making it through to tomorrow. Just let us live while the living is good."
"I second that notion!" Flair yipped.
"Fine, you all win, but if we're attacked and unprepared its on you!" Dylan grumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Wooo! Lake par-tay!" Sparks cried as she dove into the lake.
"Are you all stupid?! The water is green!" Selene warned.
"Now it's pink!" Jester grinned. Yes, Jes turned the water pink. It was pretty cool, I have to admit. I stood there watching everyone splashing around. Flair, Alex, and Ebony stayed far from the water.
"Come on!" Jace, Storm, and Ice called to them.
"I hate water. Water and fire don't mix," Flair stated.
"I'm part cat…go figure that one out," Ebony said. Storm splashed her, she practically hissed while Storm laughed his head off.
"Same here," Alex nodded.
Storm and the others just shrugged it off and began holding each other below water.
Someone grabbed me around the waist. I figured it was Ryan, until I looked at the lake and saw him prying Ice of Jace. I looked up to see Kale, his chin rested on the top of my head.
"What do you think you're doing?" I almost growled as I turned to look at him. He stared down at me, his big brown eyes almost shining.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He asked quietly.
"It looks like you want your lights punched out," I frowned.
He didn't respond, only pulled me closer. This wasn't going to end up good.
"Kale," I scolded as I tried to pull away.
"Please Gwen, just tell me why…" he whispered. I got loose of his grip to see the hurt pleading look in his eyes.
"Come on," I grumbled as I grabbed his hand and drug him further back into the woods. We were going to have to have a long talk.
Ok, there could possibly be some GWALE in the next chap, but if you all want it you have to review! Now, GO VOTE ON THE POLL! So far, 'No,girl' is winning with 2 votes and 'Yes, 1 boy, 1 girl' and 'Yes, 2 girls' are tied with 1 vote.
Now, another song thing:
Fallen Angels by Black Veiled Bride {submitted by: nuggetzor}
Ok, to answer The Winged Nyan 's ?'s.
1) No, I think Max is actually going to have the baby/babies, and Gwen is kinda to young to have a child and she has no powers so she kinda can't be the Epic. :( sadness I know.
2) Yes, I have. And there is going to be a problem with the baby's wings-THAT'S ALL YOURE GETTING OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW!
3) Yes, Gwen and Kale are getting left out. That's the point…kinda. Like you know how the story wasn't told by Iggy, Gazzy, or Nudge's P.O.V.? Well this is kinda what this is. A story told by an ordinary bird kid, so you can see how it would feel not to be in charge and in the center of attention. Its sorta how the "lower" Flock members feel and react to stuff.
4) ok, y'all can pick baby names once the poll is finished and we know what gender the baby/babies are.
5) oh, Redneck serves a purpose. She's here to teach that not all humans are bad (to Selene, 24, and Sparks) and to bring some happiness into play here. And then she is going to represent struggles and mourning when she dies, it will eventually circle back around in the plot later.
6) here's your answers-lol ;)
OK! THANK YOU ALL AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW FOR GWALE!
