We paused at the edge of the clearing. Most people were just getting up, and I realized how much I needed sleep. If we went out over the ocean today we could be flying for 12 hours, and I would be carrying Blake. I took Blake’s hand in mine,
“We can do this.” I whispered. I said it to comfort myself more than anything.
“Come on,” Blake said pulling me into the clearing. The smell of food instantly made my stomach rumble. As we walked over to the fire Kaylee glanced up.
“Where have you two been?” She asked a twinkle in her eyes. I was at a complete loss for words.
I held Anika, smiling. Even in these times... even now, we could still have love and hope.
And, on a more lighter mood, Blake and Michel were together, which was totally expected but very sweet.

The smell of food sent me shooting to my feet. My stomach began to groan, the smell wafted towards my nose and tantalised my tongue. Jumping, I rushed through the foliage bursting into the clearing. Smoke drifted upwards into the sky. Red flames licked at something, something that smelled so good. My mouth began to water, jumping towards the group clustered around the flame; I accidentally kicked up dust, making them all groan as it got in their eyes.
"What's cooking?" I asked, licking my lip. I rubbed my hands together hungrily. "Well nothing now, since you came," Michael shot at me. Poking my tongue at it him, I poked the food instantly squealing as some of it melted on my finger. "Fool," Kaylee shook her head. A large smile across her face. I placed my finger in my mouth, pouting my lips. "Not fair," I muttered over my finger.
"Morning," Someone said behind me. Turning I saw Corbin step out from the bushes, his hair ruffled with sleep and twigs. I grinned at him, turning back towards the fire. I could feel a small silence cloud over us. Looking up from under my lashes, I saw them all staring at Corbin. Large childish grins glued to their face. I looked over my shoulder to see Corbin lower his head simultaneously. I narrowed my eyes, "What?"
"Nothing," Blake said, shaking her head innocently. I stared down to see her hand linked with Michael's. I looked over at Michael who was also smiling. He shrugged as with Kaylee and Blaise. "Weird." I commented shrugging. Turning back to the food, I grabbed a stick and poked at it. The thought of Caroline fell into my mind. I wonder when she was going to wake up. Maybe I should do it. Poking at the food again, Kaylee swatted my hand away.
"Fewd?" she asked, tilting her head. "Hungwy!" she rubbed her stomach which she unsuccesfully tried to make bulge out.
I grinned. "I heard Ester going towards the smell of some, so I assume there's some food that we can scrounge up. Want to come, Blake, unless you're too busy with-"
"Oh, whatever, of course I'll come," she said, laughing.

What an amazing sight indeed. A family, just like in fairy tales. All of them had someone to love, a smile on their faces, and hope. Things I didn't have. I stood, not wanting to make them quite smiling. They all seemed to have their eyes on me. I nodded towards them, ignoring them for the most part. I walked past them and into the forest. I didn't go far, just past the first bit of shrubs. I sat down, crossed my legs, and tried to remember the last time I was this happy. I had all my family. At least the family I called family.

I watched as everyone got up and made their way toward the camp fire, where Kaylee was cooking something that smelled delicious. Finally I convinced myself to get off my lazy bum and walked over. Stepping out of the bushes I walked up behind Ester, who was trying to sneak some scraps of Kaylee's meal; she ended up getting her finger burnt instead. I scoffed as she sucked on her sore finger.
She was so focused on watching the food cook that she didn't even notice me; that's when I got an idea for a joke. I raise my two fingers and plopped them down like bunny ears on top of her head. Michael noticed and snickered. I smiled and gave Ester a pair of antlers. Now everyone was looking at me. She hadn't even noticed yet, so I stuck out my tongue and crossed my eyes. I could be so immature sometimes, but life would get so boring if one wasn't every once in a while.
A couple people couldn't hold back a laugh, and Ester glared at them. "What?" she asked, completely clueless. It took all of my will power to hold in a good natured laugh. I saw her head turning and I quickly pulled my hands behind my back and lowered my head to cover my smile. She eyed me suspiciously, but didn't say anything. Finally I let out a laugh and plopped down next to her. Pulling out my pipe I began a merry, fast-beat tone.
I'm a JESUS FREAK!!!
Do you have any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?
"Oh, whatever. Of course I'll come," I said laughing.
We rose, and walked. As we got closer to the main of our campsite, we saw that Kaylee was cooking breakfast. Ester was trying to sneak some, but with no luck. Using her distraction, Corbin made bunny ears on her. I shook my head slightly, and went to sit by Michel.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey," he responded smiling.
For a moment it was awkward. We were both happy, but a little unsure. This was all so new. I slid my hand into his, and leaned my head on his shoulder. He rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand.
I closed my eyes for a moment, taking it all in. It was nice. The world seemed almost at peace. I wished we could stay like that forever. But we couldn't. I sighed. Michel looked down at me.
"You OK?" he asked.
"Yeah, I guess. I just wish we could freeze this moment, and never have to leave. Never have to deal with the wolves and the scientists, and just live happy, peacefully."
"Well," he said. "If we were frozen and couldn't move, I couldn't do this." he leaned down and kissed me lightly. "Or this." He stuck out his tongue and went cross-eyed, immitating Corbin. I laughed, shaking my head. Funny, a few days ago that would have ticked me off. So many things changed....
"Blah blah blah. You feel trapped in your life. Here is what I am hearing: happiness isn't worth any inconvenience."
I could hear them all laughing and having fun, and I longed to join them. But where would that put me? Social I was sure. So why was I so antisocial? I laughed to myself, but I was sure someone close enough could hear me. I sighed and looked up through the trees and at the sky. It was the first time in a while I'd been this happy, let alone laughed about something. It felt good after crying for so long. I had cried so much, I couldn't even try to cry. I sat there until someone called us together, not even bothering to eat. I knew I'd regret it later, but I didn't have a craving for food. Just love.

I wanted to take a walk with Anika, but my wing and arm still hurt and I didn't want her to notice anything unusual that I had been covering behind me the last times I had talked to her. I wondered where Ellie was. Maybe she could take Anika on a walk.
"Ellie!" I called out. "Hey, does anyone know where Ellie is?"
"Right over there," Kaylee said, looking up from cooking.
I walked over towards her. "Hey, Ellie, would you mind taking Anika on a walk? She asked me to.... but..." I gestured towards my mangled arm and wing, which were patched up but still not that good looking. "Mind taking her?"

I watched as Ellie took Anika on a walk around and sat down again. Kaylee walked over.
"How's your arm and wing?"
"Alright."
"Don't lie," she said. "I can always tell."
I sighed. "It'll heal, let's put it that way. It's annoying me half to death right now, anyway.... ugh, why do we get injuries anyway?"
"They're good for... um... attitude."
"Terrible attitude? Yes they are."
Kaylee laughed and I did too. It was nice.

I let out a laugh and wrapped my arms around Blaise. I rested my head on his chest and whispered "I was afraid Blaise. I was afraid that you wouldn't wake up." He rested his ching on my head and wrapped his arms around me "It's okay Kaylee. I woke up."
I took in his scent and said "Come on a walk with me please." I pulled away and wandered into the woods until I came across a boulder. I sat on it and Blaise sat next to me. "Nice walk he said." I let out a laugh, and then a sigh. Blaise shifted uncomfortable with his arm and wing.
I felt my face drop but I quickly disguised it. Knowing me all to well Blaise asked "What's wrong?" I knew better than to say nothing was the matter.
After a moment of hesitation I said "I have fear Blaise." After a moment of waiting for me to continue he asked "Of?" I pulled my legs up and wrapped my arms around them, placing my head on my knees. "I'm afraid that one day no one is going to be there. I'm afraid that I'm going to be alone, with no one to love or to love me. I fear being left alone and being forgotten. I fear that no one will be there for me."
I turned so she was facing straight towards me. "Kaylee," I said softly. "You see all of us? We're your family. We'll never abandon you. Ellie, Michel, Blake, me, Anika, we're here for you. And I'll never leave you alone."
"But... what if like today something happens? What if you don't wake up that time?" she says softly.
"I will always wake up for you," I said.
