((ECHO ECHO echo echo echo...))

*FAST FORWARD YO*

It was almost dark and the sunlight was fading quickly now. Their little group had flown (and in one's case, ran) a pretty good distance in the last few hours, and though Stella knew travelling under the cover of darkness would throw the Erasers even more off their track, she had to admit she was ready to crash. Looking down, she couldn't see much. They were out of any city, maybe even out of any town. But she was perfectly okay with sleeping under the stars at this point, if it came to that. "Ready to stop for the night?" Stella called out to the rest of them, loud enough so they could all hear.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

"Aye aye," Scarlett groaned in an attempt to be sarcastic. When had she last slept? So much had happened that day and she needed to recuperate. Her wings felt ready to fall of, and she wasn't flying straight at all.

"That tree down there looks strangely appealing."

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

Stella grinned and started to drop lower to the ground. "I've never gotten used to sleeping in trees after I fell out of one a few years back..." she admitted to Scarlett. Obviously she wasn't exactly a peaceful sleeper. "But I'm sure the ground will be just as appealing at this point."

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

"Aaaah, scarring experiences. Fun fun." Scarlett yawned, dropping as well. "Grass is soft, but I'm always worried about anthills. Nasty things, they are. Not that it should worry you." Last time she checked, Stella wasn't blind and could see a hole in the ground swarming with ants.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Oh, thank god.))

Savita nodded slightly. "Sounds good to me," she muttered, diving into a sharp nosedive, her traditional method of landing.
Jacob glanced up at the them, ducking out of Savita's way.

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((... Gary?))

"I can handle those ants. I'm tough. At least I don't have to be worried about being attacked by a squirrel in the middle of the night," Stella said as they came closer to the ground. She could see they were pretty far from any civilization nearby, excluding what looked like a barn in the distance.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

((Mayhaps))

"I hate squirrels," Scarlett said, shivering. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she stumbled, losing her balance for a moment. She cursed a little before regaining her footing and standing up straight. "Out of practice, as usual."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Huh?))

Savita pulled up sharply, landing softly, surprising considering how fast she'd been going.
Jacob dove to the side, shaking his head. "You're gonna kill yourself some day."
"Nice to see you concerned," she said stiffly, massaging her wounded arm.

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((Eheh.))

Stella landed as well and pulled in her wings, realizing how tired her muscles were from flying all day. "Perfectly graceful, as usual," she mocked with a smile, then set off into the small forest Scarlett had spotted.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

Scarlett had forgotten about the Eraser. As soon as Jacob spoke, she tensed, automatically braced in case there was a fight. She pretended that she was cold by hunching her shoulders more and rubbing her arms while staring at her feet. They said he's on our side, she reminded herself.

Trying to shake off her nerves, she snorted at Stella's statement. "Show off."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Hum. I'm lost.))

Savita trailed behind them, Jacob just a step behind her.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

Savita wrote: "((Hum. I'm lost.))

Savita trailed behind them, Jacob just a step behind her."

((Stella's old twin XD))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((OH, THE BLIND ONE!))

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

((THAT'S THE ONE!))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((I REMEMBER!))

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

Stella's eyes quickly fell on Jacob just as Scarlett's had. She stopped in her tracks and faced him, her arms crossed. "So you're the famous bad-guy-turned-good these two have been talking about." She raised an eyebrow, taking another step towards him and sticking out her hand for him to shake. "Stella," she said. "I hope you're telling the truth, pup."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob scratched the back of his neck, looking over at Savita.
"You were talking about me?"
"Don't flatter yourself."
He shrugged one shoulder, clasping her hand carefully. "Jacob. Not dog-boy, please," he said with an irritated glance at Pyro.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro remained in the air, her dark wings acting as a natural camo during night. She flew in lazy circles, still high up.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

Scarlett felt really uncomfortable. Painfully so. She waited patiently for them to finish their introductions, hands in her jacket pockets.

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

Stella shook his hand firmly and hid her immediate disgust and contempt with a smile. "I'll call you whatever I want, thanks," she said, then turned back to Scarlett. "Now to finding that tree, am I right?"

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob rolled his eyes, glancing desperately at Savita, who shrugged.
"Tree sounds good," Savita piped up, shading her eyes to look up Pyro. "Coming down?" she called.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro shook her head, a very faint motion.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

"A tree sounds very good," Scarlett agreed, spinning around as fast as she could, wanting to put some distance between herself and Jacob.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Jacob sighed quietly, stuffing his hands in his jeans pockets and whistling softly.
Savita nodded slightly at Pyro, shrugging one shoulder. "Your loss."

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

Stella walked a little faster to catch up with Scarlett, not noticing the girl still in the air. "You okay?" she asked softly as they walked deeper into the forest.

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

Pyro said nothing more, but broke her lazy circles and dissappeared from sight. She wanted her pet back.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Savita shook her head, watching the girl go. She's after Red, isn't she? Taking a deep breath, she hurried after the two birdkids and the Eraser, who looked quite uncomfortable.

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

Scarlett shook her head a little. "It'll just...take some getting used to," she admitted. Erasers are what all birdkids had nightmares about as children, and the face that older birdkids saw when they thought of the School. It'll take much more than a promise and a few good words to get her to trust him.

It wasn't personal. Maybe Jacob was different from the rest. But he'd have to prove it.

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

Stella sighed, looking in front of them at the deserted, dark trees. "No shit," she muttered. "I'll be keeping an eye on him, that's for sure." She hadn't forgotten about her own recent run-in with the Erasers, and what the message they had left for her had been. Not exactly nice to think about. She raised her voice. "I'll take first watch, okay?"

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

Scarlett smiled, more relaxed now. She wasn't the only one feeling this way. "Sounds good. Make sure the squirrels don't attack us in our sleep."

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

Savita nodded slightly, absently massaging her arm again. The bullet was still lodged in, and it was sending twinges up her arm.
Jacob's eyes narrowed, but he couldn't tune out the girls in front of him. Sighing softly, he glanced over at Savita. "You okay?"
"Fine," she muttered.

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((I thought I got the bullet out of Savita's arm. >.>))

"Sure thing," Stella replied with a small smile. "This looks good," she added, stopping.

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Uhhh...Don't remember.))

[Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so...]

((She didsies))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Oh. Whoops.))

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((Heh.))

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

((PHAIL.))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((HEY!

[RedPath, ^ is Simba]

((Got attack by a moth. Now I have moth guts on my arm T-T))

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((OH NO. D: CHARLIEEE.))

((*cough cough* Can we speed it up to mornin soon? I kinda made Pyro.....leave.... *sheepish look*))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Yes I have to explain, dammit!
Fast forward, sure.))

[Swiftfire, is Timon]

((But we just fast forwardededed...))

[Savita, is Pumbaa <3 (I...don't remember who Pumba is....)]

((Like, ten minutes.))
