Straz flew North, and Chloe clung to him her hands bleeding into her shirt. He landed in a clearig after an hour. Getting off his back, Chloe looked at his wounded wings. Four arrows protruded from them. Tear ran as she painstakingly removed each arrow. Finally after they were removed, he transformed back into his human form and sat on the ground. Coming to sit beside him, she knew he was removing adrenaline, and large amounts of it. He had been really angry, and now he would be distant. Leaning against him, she thought of what they would do now. If they were of Raven Clan, we will be killed on sight. If we do not go, we will be stuck here forever! She felt Straz's arm slip around her shoulders pulling her closer. As if he had read her thoughts, he merely said, "We will go to the Clan." He leaned against her, his head on hers. Soon they were asleep.
After several hours of rest, Straz aroused. Chloe was sleeping beside him, her long Red hair still slightly curled after the water mishap. Smiling he moved to stand, and noticed Chloe's eyes flutter and her move uncomfortably in her sleep. Leaning over her, he touched her forhead, relaxing her. She wouldn't sleep much longer, but he wanted her well rested incase something happened.
Finding his sword on the ground where Chloe had placed it. Unsheathing it, and then resheathing it, he placed it around his hip. Collecting all the items left scattered in the clearing. Placing them nearby, he sat back beside Chloe. Touching her shoulder he spoke to her in his language. "Awaken, dearest."
Chloe almost immediatly aroused. Sitting up she stretched. "Come, we will go to them now. I do not believe that they are very far."
Nodding she strapped her sword around her waist, situating her cloak and grabbing the rest of their items, she watched Straz transform, quickly checking out his wounds. They were already healed. Nodding she climbed up to his neck and gripped him tightly.
"Quickly Straz! We must make sure that Renn, Torak, and Wolf are well."
He took to the skies quickly, flying above the tree tops.
It wasn't but an hour that it took them to discover the village. Straz flew over it once attracting the attention of the people below. Turning sharply, he dropped into the center of town, transforming as he landed. Chloe slid off his back the moment they touched the ground.
