Rane nodded to Cat and pulled his pack on. He was going to keep his cool and make sure the Flock got out, every signgle one of them, and flew to safety. "Alright everyone, get your packs and fly with a partner." He told them as he motioned for them to get closer to the window. He was going to be the last one out to make sure the others all escaped.
Lexi sighed as he pulled on his pack. Running again, he didn't feel like it. All he wanted to do was sit down and eat, or maybe sleep. He looked around for someone to pair with. He smiled when his gaze landed on little Mira. She seemed like the perfect member of their little family to fly with. Lord knew he was not about to fly with Mister High and Might Rane. He walked quickly over to Mira. "Wanna be my wing buddy?" he asked with a smile. (Sorry it's so short. Thought I would reply before school. I don't have to work today so I will be on a lot earlier than usual.)

*It's Okay*
I flew high above, seeing they were beginning to leave the cabin house. With a smirk, I decided to be recklessly bold and I flew right in front of the Chopper. I gave a little howl and they were growling.
"Oh, I'm sorry boys. Are you jealous I can transform into a full wolf while you still can't?" I felt smug until they began shooting.
Doing quick, complicated moves in the air, they soon traveled off in a totally different direction. I knew the Flock was safe...for now.
Swooping down the to Flock, I motioned with a wing to follow. I showed my canine teeth in a smile and spun around a few times in the air. If you've never tried it, you should grow wings and do it. It's awesome. Even though it makes you dizzy.
*Moonfrost has kinda lost interest in the site, so I think I'm going to make a second character in the Flock to fill the ten spots up. Maybe it'll be a male instead. Rosepetal will give me the bios for Ruby and Subira today or over email.*

"She shouldn't be so daring," Era muttered under her breath. "We wouldn't last if she got hurt..."
Shaking her head, blackc tendrils flying, she straightened, stretching her arms above her head and letting her wings stretch out as well. She looked around, everyone ready to go under Rane's command. She grimaced. Flying with a partner was sooo not her thing.
Sighing, she decided to simply get going. She leapt sinuously to the window, balancing on the open sill. She looked back, a small grin on her features as she tilted on the edge of the 20 foot drop off, that totally said, "Let's go."
Instead, all she said to the others (who were probably as anxious as she to get going) waiting around was, "See you down there."
Then she let her wings catch her as she flung herself from the precipice, eyes closed and then bursting open as she stopped only inches from the ground. She swooped back up with powerful wingbeats and waited for the others to appear, making sure they were all there while subconsciously keeping an anxious eye on Cat.
It truly was exhilarating, she contemplated musingly, flying high above the ground with only the air and your wings to hold you.
Yes, she had to admit - this life might be dangerous.
But she wouldn't give it up for the world.

Little Mira had half a mind to take off after Cat, but she much rather do what she says than get her leader mad at her. She hated it when people got mad, bad things usually happened following anger. Thats how it always used to b when they were at the school so why should it be any diffrent now? The white haired child perked up at the aspect of a flying buddy her eyes gazing around to see who she could get. She was worried about Era who took off without them despite Ranes orders so she sighed before looking around some more. That was when Lexi walked up to her and she smiled sweetly at the older boy.
The girl had formed a small bond with Lexi kind of a big brother baby sister relationship, because he was one of the very few people that could calm her down after a bad nightmare. He always made her giggle with his funny antics.
"Alright we can be wing buddies!" She said the glee in her voice apparent. "We can take off now right?"
Mira then decided to take off anyways, wings snapping open as soo as she leap out of the open window. Her snowy white wings caught a nice breeze and she waited up in the sky for a moment, allowing her wing buddy to catch up with her when he felt like it.

Mind Reader, Millenimum Millenimum launched himself out the window, barrel rolling, before snapping his wings open. He launched himself into the air at full speed, immediately reaching a hundred feet off the ground in five seconds. He looked down, watching the window for the others, before taking off through the trees. He zig zagged, missing each trunk by a hair as he whipped through them, his hair flying back out of his face. "We'll never give in, never give up, fight to the death, or all is lost" he muttered to himself, still zig zagging through the trees. (Wow, small post. Didn't have anything much to say)

I glanced back at the others. Swooping back, I watched as each member came out. Sometimes it felt weird being in my wolf form around them; I didn't want to scare them. Yet I knew in my heart they'd never fear me...unless I turned to the 'Dark Side'. But I would never do that. I'd rather die fighting than die in a cage.
My wings were sweeping gently as I spaced out. I still stayed by the window and smiled at the members with my canines as they fly out. I didn't care if they went ahead; I would fly at my own pace. Though, as a frown settled on my face, I thought about either me getting captured behind them, or them getting attacked while I was behind.
Sighing, I transformed easily back into human form, but still with the wings. As soon as the last members came out, I would take to the air faster than a bullet. I wanted...no I needed to watch my Flock and take care of them. Best place to do so was in the air.

**this post as Sylvia the Eraser**
Nails like talons anxiously drummed the control panel located inside the Chopper as a savage frown peered out from under dark sunglasses. One could most likely guess the expression located in those eyes, although none could guess the actual feeling working in the brain of the Eraser who owned them.
It was a mix of things, really. And none of them good.
"Darren, why aren't we following them?" she asked the scientist next to her, voice dangerously low.
"Patience, Sylvia," he said with the calm tone she hated. "The helicopter can't fit between the trees. We'll ambush them at the end of the forest."
She stood and slapped her hand on the panel in front of him and leaned down close, till her breath permeated his face. "They're smarter than that. Let me lead an ambush, tonight. They won't escape this time." The pleading in her voice was there. Barely.
Darren sighed and backed away, scratching his head. "Sylvia, what about what happened last time..."
She growled and he fell silent. Shaking out the auburn hair upon her head, she tied it back in a tight bun, her silence controlled as she watched him think.
Finally, he relented. "All right. Take Team 4. And Sylvia - " he took off her sunglasses, daring to look her in the eye. "Don't mess up this time."
Acknowledging her win, and her creator's warning, she huffed and sat down anxiously again, arms crossed as she followed the flying shapes through the trees. No, Darren was wrong. This time would be different. She would win.
As her hands tightened in excitement, she smiled coyly, because she had just the plan to make this work.

Rane sighed happily as Cat came back into view. He had been worried that she might have been hurt. However now it was apparent that she only had minor nicks and cuts. "Cat, did you lead them off?" He asked as he pushed his wings harder. Even though he could see cat now he was still worried about the other Flock member who had evaded his request earlier. 'Era could have been hurt.' He thought to himself, he decided to talk to Era later, maybe try to convince her that although she may be fine on her own the younger Flock members needed someone to keep an eye on them. He turned his head and noticed Mira and Lexi. He was glad that Lexi had done something right and smiled to himself before returning his gaze on Cat. "We are headed in the emergency direction right?" He asked her trying to keep her plan of action in mind.
Lexi rushed after Mira his powerful wings pumping steadily as he followed her. Once he was close enough to speak to her he laid out the plan his mind had been formulating. "Hey Mira, do you want to help me out with something?" He asked careful to keep his voice smooth and with a little desperation in it. "I want to get some thing to eat and I need someone to help me, I know I can't do it by myself." He added after a moment. "I think your the best one for the job." He stated his voice sincere.

"Yeah," I said with a slight dip of my head to Rane.
I then sensed something overhead. Glancing up, I saw the Chopper head towards us a touch and back off. What on earth were they planning? I figured it was an ambush though. We'd after to be scarily careful tonight.
Coughing, I turned my attention to Aaron, who was hovering nearbye. "Keep an eye out; I have a feeling we're walking into a trap or an ambush."
Aaron nodded once, his blue eyes glinting in the sun. They narrowed to slits. I shivered; every time his eyes did that, it made me freak out. Human's eyes weren't supposed to do that. Then again, none of us were normal humans, right? ______________________________________________________________
Aaron watched Cat. He was wary about the Erasers, and he knew something was up. But what, he did not know. All he could do was keep an eye out, like Cat asked him to. Suddenly, he smirked as he tapped Cat on the shoulder. She turned to him quickly and her eyes swiveled around for danger. Seeing none, she glared at him. "What?"
"Isn't it funny how your name is Cat, yet you have the wolf genes, while I have the feline genes?"
"Don't you mean femine?" Cat teased back, and he narrowed his eyes.
"I was just kidding." Cat said with a dramatic roll of her eyes. It was so odd that they could laugh in the middle of a life/death situation.

Mira's little eyes widened as they were flying, surprised that one of the older kids wanted her to help do something. Not only that but she was also surprised that he wanted to eat while they were running from Erasers that could be heading straight toward them. However, he did say he needed her help and Mira couldnt exactly resit a cry of help from her fellow flock member. The girls eye softened a little bit just before she nodded. She kept her eyes on the path ahead of them, keeping her smaller wings pumping in unison with Lexi's.
"I'll do it!" She said with a happy smile upon her face just before a larger one crawled across her face. However the next words she uttered were lower and much more secretive just in case Rane heard. "I will help you only if wherever you're going I can come to. I like exploring new places."
It was obvious little Mira had a whole other reason why she wanted to go to the place lexi was going, one of those reasons being the fact she so wanted to see if she could get a toy. They never let her have one while she was in the labs and Cat had always told her that it would be to dangerous to carry around extra weight with her small light body, afraid it would weigh her down. However, she really really wanted a toy of her own to sleep with and cuddle, to tell secrets to. Maybe it would be like having a friend outside of the flock.

Aaron flapped his wings tiredly. He watched Rane with wary eyes. His gaze turned to Cat and even though he was angry on the inside for her choosing Rane as her Second-In-Command, he couldn't be angry at her. Aaron flipped his hair slightly and flew down right next to Cat. He gave her a small smile saved only for her and turned his icy gaze to Rane. He'd be Cat's 'wing buddy' as he liked to call it.
*Oey, sorry for the small post. I have to go shopping AGAIN and I didn't have much to say.*

Rane smiled and nodded to Cat only to notice the cold glare coming from Aaron. In an instant his smile turned to a frown. He really had no idea what he had done to upset him. With a mental shrug he decided to turn his attention on to something else. He let a small smile form on his lips as he finally became aware of the wind blowing through his dark hair. He never could stay upset when he felt the wind flowing around him. Once he was reassured by the wind he began to look around for Era. Since she didn't have anyone to fly with her, he might as well take up next to her.
Lexi smiled as his plan began to fall into place. He hadn't wanted to take the younger girl with him, but if that was what it took he would take it. "Oh thank you so much Mira!" He exclaimed softly as he touched her hand briefly with his. "Your the best little sister any one could have." He told her with a large grin. "Also, for helping me, I'll get you anything you want okay?" He added knowing that this would seal the deal. (Rane doesn't really talk much does he? XD)

Mira's face looked absolutely delighted when he told her that she was the best little sister, that made her very happy. She smiled at him with that innocent smile when he mentioned something about getting her whatever she wanted. That was exactly what the little one was hoping for. The Avian absolutely loved it when she was able to help someone but she loved it even more if they could help her in return. She did a little flip in mid air before catching up with him.
"Can you get me A stuffed Animal, Lexi?" She asked, pleading with the classic bambi eyes. "Tell me what we need to do."

*No, Rane doesn't. XD*
I flipped my wing against Aaron's to alert him we were leaving. He nodded to me and we began our flight. Everyone had basically gotten out and partnered up. I decided just to make sure they knew where to go.
Flying high into the air - risking being seen - I called out to them. "We're headed towards the New Mexico/Arizona Border, got it? Start flying and make sure you stay with your Wing Buddy!"
I flew back down, nodded to Aaron, and I began to fly. Feeling the wind go through my wings, air, and whip against my face...no other feeling. And to think! I'm afriad of hieghts when I'm on the ground! Oh, the irony!
*Cat hates heights...who would have known? XD*

I groaned but rose and stretched. A cool breeze washed over my face and I blinked. Darkness still consumed the outside and Cat was still kicking everyone awake. "I hate early mornings," I moaned. "Stop whining, Coco. Everyone does." I left my large wings unfurl and their feathers rustled, playing with the wind. Stinking erasers, chasing us everywhere and then right when we think we've lost them, they come back. My stomach growled and I was about to ask about food when I heard a gun shot. The flock sprung to their feet and braced themselves. Then, we crashed through the ceiling and were off, yet again...

*Good first post, Zizzle*
I turned my head around and sighed when I saw what shape my Flock was in. Man, they looked as if they had all been hit by trains...hopefully we'd find food and shelter soon enough. Then I'd stay up as long as it takes for them to all rest up. With another snap decision, I flew over next to Rane. I voiced my thoughts. "I'm going to stay up until it kills me just to get the Flock more rested up! Look at how dead they look!" I would have laughed at my joke, except for the fact that we could be dead any day now. __________________________________________________________________________________________
Aaron narrowed his eyes at Cat when she flew down next to Rane. Again, he never liked him, but he had to stay with Cat. So, he listened to her idiot idea, and waited curtly for Rane to reprimand her. If he didn't...he would. Cat needed to take care of herself, just like the rest of the Flock. If she didn't, what would happen to the Flock without their leader?

Rane frowned as Cat spoke her mind. "Cat, we need you. You need to take care of yourself, most of the Flock will listen to me but there are the ones that don't like me." He told her softly trying to keep his words out of Aaron's ears. "Where would we be with out you?" He asked after a moment his voice a little louder this time. "With out you we would have never gotten out of the School." He added his dark eyes looking over their leader's face. He reached out a hand and tenderly touched her cheek. "You need to be healthy, we would be lost with out you."
"Of course we can get you a stuffed animal!" He said with a light laugh. He was glad Mira was the one who had the ability he needed. He liked her and as a bonus she was easy to please. At her question he settled down and moved as close to her as he could with out brushing her wings. "What I need you to do is project out forms up here flying with the rest of the Flock. Once that is done we can go down and find some food and a stuffed animal for you." He explained quickly his eyes sparkling. "Do you think you can handle it Mira?" When she nodded he smiled. "Alright good, now project us please and fall down fast okay." He told her before folding his wings in and dropping down. Mira did as she was told and then dropped after him. Once the two were close enough to the ground they landed. Lexi took a hold of Mira's hand as he folded his wing back. "Lets hold hands so we can stick together, let me know when you see something you like." He told her with a wink.

Miss White haired, winged girl Mira was very happy when they landed hardly able to contain herself as she turcked her wings in underneath her bulky jacket. She Started walking with Lexi allowing herself to get distracted ocassionally with entertaining and pretty lite up things. however, who could blame her she was six and had never really seen much before. this was a rather good oppertunity making them seem almost like adjusting children.
Finally she saw it, the prettiest tand the best animal in the entire strip mall, it was a medium sized stuffed orange tabby cat with adorable little button eyes and its fur was as sleek and shiny as any prim and proper cat. Mira looked up at Lexi Pleadingly she looked up at him, pointing to the price tag on the thing. It was about eight bucks, not very expensive for a stuffed toy. At least she didnt point at the fourty dollar girrafe next to it.
"Lexi look how adorable it looks no one can love it more than i could. Its only 8 dollars to, Ohhh Lexi please lets get it!" The little girl exclaimed. There was a small pause and she let out a quite sigh squeezing his hand. "Should we be worried about cat and them...We are probably gonna get in trouble."

I was startled at the fact Rane had touched my face. I felt heat rise up, and immediately I felt my natrual cooling system try to wash it away. Boy, blushing was never somethig I ever wanted to do around a guy. Suddenly, I could automatically smell that two scents of the Flock had quickly moved and were gone. Lexi and Mira. Crap.
"I'm gonna kill 'em!" I snarled as I let myself drop quickly. As I flew downwards quickly, anger heated me up, causing me to go into a fast wolf-transformation. I realized that was a good and bad thing; I had forgotten my windbreaker back at the house, but human-kind doesn't see wolves that often...or trust them.
Finally I hit the ground and pulled my wings it. At least in my wolf form my wings would 'disappear' until I transformed again. My blue eyes swept the road ahead of me that lead to a strip mall. Oh, so Lexi got hungrey and Mira probably took the time to con him into getting a stuffed animal. Hadn't I told them both No?
With a feral snarl, I trodded forwards. Glancing to both sides, I noticed no cars were coming. I quickly leapt out into the street and raced forwards. It wasn't long before I was in the parking lot. I heard a nearby couple scream in horror at me, but I ignored it.
Soon I was at the doors. People rushed past me and soon a guard came out. His tawny eyes widened at my growling form and he quickly pulled out his walkie talkie. "We've got a wild wolf out here! Call the Animal Sanctuary!"
As soon as he said that, I realized I had been stupid by my mistake. I was about to take off when suddenly a rope grabbed my throat. Crap, again.
"Where do you think you're going, Cat?" An Eraser snarled at me. Lovely.
"I don't know, where are you headed, fugly?" I retorted before grabbing the rope and easily breaking it. I leapt at the Eraser and slightly bit his throat to knock him out. I wasn't a murderer, so I wasn't going to kill him, but now I had to run!
I ran towards the forest and soon took off as my human form this time. My wings unfurled and I floated above the strip mall, but high enough in the air where no one could see me. I suddenly felt miserable.
I had let our home be taken away. I had gotten hurt, and made my Flock worry. I had let Mira and Lexi take off to do whatever they wanted. I had nearly gotten captured AGAIN. I had also flown off without a word to Rane or the others. What kind of Leader was I?
I felt my cheeks wet, and I realized I was sobbing out of self-pity. Great, now another reason to add to the 'Why Cat Shouldn't Be Leader List.' Finally I let myself spiral down to the trees, and I sat in an unmoving heap on a branch.
"I hope no one ever finds me. I hope I die here...all alone...just like I deserve!" I spat at the sky. God, I was so pathetic...

Subira perked her ears. she heard someone ranting at the sky. Some crazy person perhaps. She could at least offer comfort. She stood on her hind legs and tucked her tail inside her clothes it was uncomfortable, but she didn't want to freak this person out... on second thought, what was this crazy doing flying around. OMG! She has wings... like her! She spread her ravens wings and flew up to greet the sobbing crazy. A tear hit her in the face, and she immeadately softened. What had happened? She flew silently along side the girl for a moment before saying, "Uh, hi? I'm Subira. you have wings too!" She backpedaled a bit, just to be sure that this other mutant wouldn't attack her. That really wouldn't be smart. Subira was insanely powerful, and if attacked, she tended to fight back.
