Taking Flight [Inactive]

"Deirk!" Ali yelled out into the forest, "where are you?" She was so annoyed by his act of confidence and slaughter, he needed to be taught a lesson.
 
"We are going to move you to a safer place, away from here," Kio said soothingly. "Now Celeste can you please grab her legs so we can move her onto this stretcher thing please?"
 
"Ok, where going to have to fly her carefully somewhere safe, and away from here" Kio said as he grabbed one end of the stretcher. "Where do you have in mind Celeste?"
 
"I was thinking Deirk's cave. Considering it is the only place hidden from the tribe's view and close enough to fly to without causing too much damage."
 
"If you're willing to go near Deirk without killing him, then sure" Kio said as he lifted up his side of the stretcher in unison with Celeste. They could cooperate well together since they were both in the same hunting group and sometimes had to carry a load between them. "Although I'm pretty sure Ali has taken care of him already." Kio chuckled. "You ready to go Celeste" Kio asked, ready to fly.
 
"Let's go." Her wings flared open and she flapped once, experimentally, before taking off. She wouldn't kill Deirk. Maybe only injure him.
 
Kio and Celeste soared through the air, flying swiftly but carefully so they didn't hurt Maeve. It was silent so Kio decided to start a conversation, so he said, "How did you become so good at fighting? I saw you down on the battlefield and you sure were good. How do you do it so well?"
 
"Decades of practise," Celeste laughed. They began to descend towards Deirk's cave. "I noticed you use an unusual fighting technique. Death from above kind of thing. It seemed to work."
 
"Haha yeah, I don't like to get caught in battle, I like to 'assassinate' people I guess" Kio said as they arrived to Deirk's cave. Kio set Maeve down and let her rest while he lit a fire in Deirk's cave. He didn't seem to be home.
 
"Right here," Kio moves aside and points to the unconscious Maeve. "She's been out for a while. Would you care to join us by this fire? I was just about to cook some meat I found lying around, you want some?"
 
"Meh, sure," Ali says and stands and stretches her arms and wings. "But I'm gonna hit Deirk when he comes back."

((aw man, it seems like we have differrnt time's harshly D: I just woke uo and you have been writing like ten pages!))


Logan was following Celeste and Ali that whole time, alerted and shoutimg them to watch out something if needed. He felt he was exhausted and couldn't fly any longer soon, his height of flying slowly lowering. Anyhow the fear of death gave him a strength. He was horrified and mad at himself as he saw the massacre because he knew he couldn't do anything for it; he simply was too weak. Crawling to wounded ones, he tried to help.


At the end he was sitting with Celeste and a new angel, catching breath and sweat pouring out of him a bit. The flight was too much and all he wished to do was to eat a bit and lie day, even he didn't had appetite still. He lied on the grass, trying to catch his breath and then closed his eyes as he saw the other man speaking about meat. He couldn't ask some meat from a unknown man, he just couldnt.
 
Kio saw this angel fly into the cave and lay down, exhausted he looked. "Who is this?" Kio asked Ali as he prepared to cook the meat. He stuck the meat through the spit and started to roast the meat as he turned to Ali, waiting for her answer.
 
"Hey," Ali said as she poked Logan's shoulder, "want some food? Its OK if you ask for some, Kio doesn't bite."


Ali was smiling at Logan, he seemed... cut off. Yeah, cut off.

"Oh, Logan. I met him in the forest. I almost went crazy, I thought I was talking to your average bird," Ali laughed.


"Hey, is it OK if Logan has some?" Ali asked while gesturing to the Angel beside her.

"Yeah sure, there is enough for all of us, as long as he doesn't bite. Me that is, not the food" Kio said as he took a chunk of the cooked meat and kicked out the flames. "It's ready if you guys want some," he said in between mouthfuls of juicy succulent meat.
 
"Here," Ali said as she took some meat and handed it to Logan. "Eat up," Ali smiled brightly at Logan, hoping he would like the meat.

Logan smiled at both of them a bit as he got up to sit slowly not to feel light-headed. "Thank you so much..", he muttered and took the meat, eating it quickly and feelign immediatly better. "I'm so sorry I couldn't help in that massacre. I'm weak and I seldom eat. I don't even notice it..", he bended his head a bit down and lowered his grey wings down.
 
"Its OK," Ali's smile became smaller at the mention of the bloody battle, "I didn't want to battle but its the only way we could've gotten out alive. Damn it Deirk."


Ali scowled and stood up and sat outside in the light drizzle.

Logan nodded. "Me neither but would have if I had any power", he sighed as he leaned his chin on his knees, closing eyes lightly. "Where did Ali go?", he muttered quietly not to wake up Kio
 
"Out here, Logan," Ali calls out from her place outside.


The rain collected on Ali's forehead then streaked down her face, giving her the after-crying look.

Logan walked outside to the rain, bending in front of her and carefully wiping his hair from his face, hoping she wouldn't mind. "Don't cry friend. It's over", he soothed with a mesmerizing but relaxing tone, caressing his hair a bit. "Everything is going to be alright."
