[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey looked at her when she spoke about something, furrowing her eyebrows a little bit and nodding.
"Okay....what is it?" she questioned. She may not be able to say for sure if they could do it, that would be Nick's job when he got better, but she could tell him about it. As she started moving around a bit, she stroked his hair more, glancing down at him.

[Fallen]

“My family. We had a cabin up in one of the common hunting areas in Washington. My brother used to go there in the summer but it’s always just sealed up in the winter. It’s not huge but it’s got a fireplace, electricity, water..” she explained. “You could go there?” She offered cautiously. Brandie was interested in them on s theoretical level so she wouldn’t reveal their secret, but she thought of using the idea of them and of hybrids in general for her research paper needed to become a surgeon.

Nick twitched a bit, waking up a bit more. He felt really sick still but something felt a bit better, probably a result of the blood going into his system.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey listened to her words, nodding slowly as she listened. Though she did bring Brandie here cause she trusted her enough, she wasn't sure if she trusted her enough to keep in somewhat contact with her. If it were up to her, she's probably say no. But it wasn't anymore.
"Okay, I'll let him know about it when he's healthy enough to make decisions. Thanks for telling us about it," she said, continuing to stroke Nick's hair.

[Fallen]

Brandie raised an eyebrow. “Sorry. I thought you were in charge.” She commented quietly, glancing st nick. She moved to take the iv out of Zar. “He’s coming back a bit, I think that’s enough of your blood..” she said, taking it out and putting a piece of gauze on her arm. She held the tube up to let the last bit of blood drain into nick before taking it from his arm as well.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"It's fine," Hailey mumbled a bit, sighing,"I'm more like second in command. So close enough to be in charge when he's out of it." She smiled softly down at Nick, twirling his hair around her finger a bit, a habit she herself had.

Zar nodded and waited for her to get it out of her arm. Once it was, she turned so she was facing Zar, burying her face in her chest and wrapping her arms tightly around her.

[Fallen]

Brandie nodded. “That’s understandable.” She Agreed. She set the stuff aside, putting a piece of gauze with some tape over it on nick’s arm. “There’s not much else that I can do for him right now. I don’t have the stuff to be able to..” she said faintly.

Nick shifted slightly, pulling his arm away from her touch. He bit his lip and turned his head slightly

Faye wrapped her arms around her tightly. “You were amazing Zar. It’s over with. You’re done..” she assured, leaning her head on hers. “I’ve got you.” She promised.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Is there anything else that needs to be done to him?" Hailey questioned with a raise of her eyebrows, just wanting him to be better.

Zar breathed heavily as she clung onto Faye, trying to relax herself and distract from the fact that there was still a stranger near them. She still didn't trust her, then again, she didn't trust anyone outside of the Flock.

[Fallen]

Brandie nodded. “He needs fluids, Antibiotics, rest.” She listed out. “It’s all a matter of if he’s strong enough to fight off the infection. It’s pretty bad. But he seems strong enough.” She explained, watching nick as he woke up a bit more. “if he won’t drink, I can teach you how to set up an iv for him of fluids...”

Nick slowly opened his eyes, squinting slightly. He closed them again, biting his lip.

Faye shifted and gently picked her up, standing after a moment. She carried Zar back to their spot, far away from where the stranger was. She sat down and stayed close to her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Okay. And I know how to do it, it's just the matter of having an I.V setup at my disposable," Hailey said with a small chuckle, clearing her throat,"We'll make sure he gets a bunch of rest and drinks what we needs to....Thank you for everything Brandie."

Zar let herself be carried away with Faye, saying nothing and just clinging onto her.

[Fallen]

Brandie nodded. “You’re welcome.” She said softly. “If you’d like, when you can take me back to town, I can get you guys some supplies. I want to help.” She explained softly, shrugging at her.

Nick shivered a bit and pulled his blankets closer to him carefully. He stayed semi conscious, listening to them.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey thought about that for a moment, nodding her head.
"Yeah, I can take you back now. I know it's getting late and everything so you wanna get back ASAP," she replied to her, looking down at Nick. She adjusted his blanket as well, reaching for the one she used earlier for his head and slipping it under his head so she could stand up, brushing off her pants when she did.

[Fallen]

“No... don’t go. You’re warm...” nick mumbled faintly when he felt her move away from him. He still felt like he was cold instead of burning up.

Brandie nodded. She cleaned up her stuff and got it back in her bag before getting up. “Okay.” She said softly, ready to go.

Ace got up to head back with Hailey.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey looked at him when he spoke, smiling a bit.
"I won't be long Nick," she said, seeing that Ace got up as well,"And Ace is coming with me, so you don't have to worry, okay? Just get some more rest."

"Be careful, alright?" Hunt said to Ace as he got up, reaching up for his hand and giving it a small squeeze before he let go.

[Fallen]

Nick nodded slightly, not speaking again.

Ace smiled and squeezed his hand. “Aww! You’re gonna miss me.” He said happily. He let go and went over to brandie, taking her bag from her and opening his wings up Slightly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Shut up ass," Hunt replied with a chuckle, waiting until he walked away that he let out a shaky breath. He was really bad at this.

Hailey moved away from Nick after that, also opening up her wings. It was easier to take off with another person if she was already up a bit so she slowly hovered until she was a little ways in the arm and then she held out her hands for Brandie.
"Alright, come here," she told her.

[Fallen]

Faye looked over. “Perhaps You should just kiss him. Just later, just walk over and kiss him. It’s not that hard.” She teased lightly.

Brandie came over and let Hailey pick her up the same way as she’d done before when they came out there. She bit her lip lightly, still wary of the whole flying thing.

Ace took off and waited for them.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Yeah and probably get punched in the face in the process," Hunt said with a heavy sigh, rubbing his hands over his face,"I don't even think he likes me."

"Don't worry, I won't drop you," Hailey said, pulling her up once she took her hands so she was carrying her bridal style,"We'll be back in a bit guys." With that, she took off with Ace and Brandie towards town.

[Fallen]

“I doubt it. He’s pretty not straight..” Faye commented. “Haven’t you watched him checking you out?” She shrugged slightly. “You’re almost as oblivious as nick and Hailey.” She teased.

Brandie nodded. “I know. I trust you.” She assured softly. She let Hailey carry her as they went back to town.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I've tried dozens of times to give him hints and I never get anything back....I don't think it's gonna happen Faye," Hunt said with a shake of his head, standing up from his spot and stretching his arms over his head,"I'm gonna gather a little more firewood. I won't go far."

[Fallen]

Faye rolled her eyes. “As I said. He’s oblivious. We, all of us arent really conditioned to Love Or relationships or anything. So we don’t know what to look for or what to do..” she reminded him. “Don’t go far.” She told him

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( I'm gonna skip to when they come back (: ))

A little over an hour later, Hailey and Ace came back, carrying bags of what Brandie had given them as well as some dinner for the night. Hailey landed easily, setting the bags down and rolling her shoulders from how sore they were.
"Everything okay here?" she asked everyone.

"Peachy," Hunt grumbled, still in a slightly bad mood as he sat over with the kids, coloring in a book he had picked up for them when he went into town.

[Fallen]

(Alright. Thanks :)

Ace landed beside her and set the stuff down. He closed his wings before grabbing some of the food and distributing it out to all of them. He then flopped down beside hunt, watching him color.

Faye glanced over, watching them set the stuff down.
“Hey. You didn’t miss much. Nick flipped out a bit and then passed out again. At least I think he’s out. I don’t know what’s up with him..” she commented. “Other than that, nothing really happened. How was it there?” She asked her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey listened to her, still a little irritated with her from the argument they had earlier, but she wouldn't let that show.
"It was fine, she just gave us some stuff we would need. I.V stuff, bandages, wrap, things like that," she replied, letting Ace pass out the food as she went over to check on Nick, feeling his forehead.

Hunt tensed a bit when Ace came over, but he continued drawing, taking the food when it was given to him.
"Thank you," he mumbled.

[Fallen]

Faye nodded slightly. She thanked ace and stayed where she was with Zar in her arms.

Ace tilted his head at Hunt, seeing something was a bit off.
“What’s up with you?” He asked softly, watching him. He didn’t think there was anything that should be wrong, other than that they had brought a stranger there with them but she was sworn to secrecy and ace trusted her a bit, having given her an email account that was set up in his name, which they used for when some sites required an account to join with, and she in return had given him the address of the cabin, in case they chose to go there. He’d done so without telling Hailey, quickly exchanging it with her while they got some supplies.

Nick was still running a fever, almost completely covered by the two blankets. He had obviously woken up for a few though, close to half of his Gatorade gone now instead of just a few sips.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Nothing. Tired," Hunt replied with a shrug, not making a big deal of it. He was just irritated is all, it wasn't Ace's fault that he didn't like him. Still....it hurt.

Hailey sighed a bit at the feel of his head, sitting down next to him as she started caressing his hair as she has been doing earlier. She'd been worried about him the whole time they were gone, wondering if she was gonna come back and he'd be dead or something. But he was still stable, which was good.

[Fallen]

“You seem to be a bit more than just tired.” Ace commented. “You can talk to me you know..” he added quietly, biting his lip. He stayed nearby and grabbed his own food so he could start eating.

Nick stirred at the gentle touch. He shifted his hand until he found her, gently resting his hand on her leg. He didn’t say anything, just lying still right there.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I'm fine Ace, really," Hunt replied, glancing up at him before looking away again. He didn't want him to worry or to get suspicious that it was about him. He needed to act as normal as possible, it was just a little hard right now.

Hailey smiled from his touch, reaching down with her free hand and taking his hand gently.

[Fallen]

“You’re just not acting like yourself. But whatever. Eat and then get some rest. One of us will take watch.” Ace decided quietly. He shrugged and left him alone.

Nick pulled at her hand gently, wanting her to lay with him. “You’re warm..” He Mumbled faintly, hoping she’d lay back with him.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hunt nodded his head, but he didn't quite eat yet. Just continued to color in what he was working on, knowing he was acting like a brat. He didn't mean to either.

Hailey smiled and did lay down next to him, climbing under the covers that he was using.
"Are you cold?" she asked in a small whisper, looking at him.

[Fallen]

Ace made sure the kids would eat but otherwise left Hunt alone. He went and sat by Faye instead, talking with her to try and figure out what was going on with Hunt.

Nick shifted close to her, grimacing slightly. He put an arm around her gently. He nodded at her question, not answering verbally. It took too much energy.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey blushed a little from his actions, but didn't stop him. She didn't mind of course. Just moved closer to him, watching him.
"Well we'll get you warmed up then," she replied back to him.

[Fallen]

Nick held her close. “Just for a few...” He Mumbled slowly. He only had bits and pieces of what was going on through all of this but he knew she’d just gotten back and that it was dark, which meant she’d probably have to keep watch.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"It's okay, one of those guys are gonna keep watch tonight," Hailey replied to him, her face pretty close to his. She was trying her best to ignore that little fact or else she would really be a big blushing mess. More than she already was anyways.

[Fallen]

“I should.. do it..” Nick commented faintly, knowing that he’d been out for a while. He knew it was a bad idea for him to do so but he needed to do something. He was feeling a little bit better and a bit more awake so he figured he could do something at least. He opened his eyes and looked at her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"No no, if you have the strength to do anything, it should be to eat, not stay awake for a while night," Hailey replied to him, moving his hand to she was touching his cheek. She offered a smile at him when he opened his eyes, rubbing his cheek gently with her thumb.

[Fallen]

“I’m not hungry...” nick mumbled faintly. He leaned gently into her touch for a moment. “You should eat too.... take care of your shoulder...” he mumbled slowly, watching her. He looked her over again, staying still.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I will...I'm a little bit, okay?" Hailey replied, blushing a little deeper when she was touched as well. She could feel her heart beating wildly in her chest and she wondered if Nick was able to feel or hear it. They might be close enough to one another for that.

[Fallen]

Nick nodded. “You’re.. blushing.” He mumbled slowly. “I’d kiss you if I wasn’t feeling so shitty..” he added faintly under his breath. He held her gently, still leaning his head against her cheek.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey tensed up hearing his words, blinking. He would....kiss her? He was thinking about kissing her? So....wait, Faye and Hunt were right then? He liked her? Swallowing thickly, she moved back a little bit to look at him better, her heart beat speeding up even more.
"Why should that stop you?" she questioned, voice barely above a whisper. If he wanted to....she wasn't gonna stop him.

[Fallen]

“I wanna do it right. Not while I’m half conscious and barely here..” nick mumbled slowly. He kept leaning against her hand, watching her tiredly. “You could kiss me though.” He teased faintly, trying to get a smile out of her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Hailey bit her lip gently at her words, his last ones getting a small chuckle out of her. She wanted to, but if Nick didn't want their first kiss to be like this....She moved forward and kissed his cheek gently, pulling back a moment later.
"You should rest," she whispered to him.

[Fallen]

He blushed faintly and stayed close to her. Nick closed his eyes again.
“I know. I will. Just feel like I should do more..” he explained faintly, staying close to her. He gently took his arm away so that she could get up. He didn’t want to keep ahold of her if she wanted to get up.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Despite him doing this, Hailey did not get up yet, continuing to lay down next to him.
"I know, but you don't need to for a little while until you're better. Try to enjoy taking it easy, yeah?" she said with a smile, reaching over and putting her hand on his waist.

[Fallen]

He rolled his eyes At her. “True I guess but I don’t want to do nothing.” Nick admitted softly. He willingly snuggled closer into her touch. “But it’s okay if you stay right here at least.” He Mumbled to her, closing his eyes again. He was trying to stay away but use as little energy as possible.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I know, it sucks," Hailey replied. Whenever she had gotten sick, she had hated not being able to do anything either. But it's what needed to happen, Nick needed to rest or he'd just keep on getting worse."I'll stay here with you for a bit, yeah."

[Fallen]

“I’ll be back asleep soon. You don’t have to stay for long.” Nick assured. He yawned softly and stayed close. “We need to get moving though. Tomorrow. Okay?” He told her, not going to sit around any longer with their lives at risk.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"We'll go and find a place to hunker down for a bit, alright? Brandie said you shouldn't be doing anything serious for a week at least. Which, for us since we heal quicker, would translate to about 3 days," Hailey replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

[Fallen]

“I can fly. I’m fine.” Nick promised. “We shouldn’t wait that long. It’s just gonna get worse if we wait. Cause we won’t want to leave at all then.” He Mumbled. “It would be better to find somewhere more permanent and settle down then.” He added after a moment.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I know it will Nick and I know you can fly, but it's about pushing yourself. Please. At least give it another day and see how you're feeling then?" Hailey suggested, eyes pleading. She didn't want him to go through this again.

[Fallen]

Nick shook his head. “We head out tomorrow. Where we to is up to you. But I want to get moving again. We need an actual place to stay. A cave, cabin, whatever. Middle of the Forest isn’t gonna work though. It’s too easy to get caught.” He told her slowly.
