Ruhe settled himself onto a branch and leaned back to sleep.
Alex was perched in the top of the tree. She would not be able to fly away without making a sound so for now she stayed put.

Rhore woke up when it was dark, earlier now that he was farther east in the mountains. He packed up his stuff and left the shelter, leaving in the cover of dark.

Alex sat in the tree staring down at Ruhe. Ruhe had fallen asleep hours ago but she was afraid of moving in case he was a light sleeper. She shifted her waight, just a bit and a twig snapped off under her foot. She froze and listened as the twig fell to the ground.
The twig fell against Ruhe's face. He jumped up startled and fell out of the tree. He groaned and picked himself up. "What was that?" He asked himself.

Rhore flew across the mountains then stopped, guessing it would take the erasers longer to cross the mountains if they were after him.

Ruhe stretched on the ground.
Alex leaned over on her branch to watch Ruhe. Leaning too far her feet slipped and she cried out.
Ruhe looked up startled. He saw a flash of white in the tree he had just fallen from. "Who's that?"
Alex flapped her wings and righted herself again. She stayed very still hoping Ruhe would dismiss her out cry for a delusional mind.

ooc: very southern part of Illinois.
Ruhe saw another flash of white and another. He leaped into the air, flapped his wings and landed in the tree. He tucked his wings in and climbed up the tree.
Alex had no time to escape, Ruhe climbed to quickly. Before she realized what he was doing he was sitting on a branch just below her his eyes stretched wide with astonishment wonder and maybe a hint of jealousy.
"Who are you?" He asked.
Alex frowned, "None of your business." She jumped out of the tree, snapped open her wings and flew off.

Rhore snored peacefully as a thunderstorm brewed outside his cave.
OOC:Rhore is heading toward Oklahoma, right now he's still in Colorado.

Ruhe jumped from the tree and followed Alex, "Hey wait!"
Alex put on the speed, hoping Ruhe would just go away.
But Ruhe wouldn't give up, "Can we just talk? Please? I haven't seen anyone like me since I escpaed!"
That got her. Alex slowed and let him catch up, "Escaped from where?"
"The School."
Alex narrowed her eyes, folded her wings and dropped into a ddive,

Rhore woke up when a lightning bolt struck now far from his cave. Even though he is tougher than most kids his age, he still gets scared. He huddled in the back of the cave until he saw fire on a tree outside. He ran out with his stuff and started running for the neares town, figuring it would be bad to fly.

Ruhe sighed and followed her.
Alex landed smoothly and waited for Ruhe to join her. She shivered and sadi, "I hate that place."
"YOu were there too?"
Alex nodded, "I escaped not too long ago. I- I think they're still looking for me too."
Ruhe frowned, "We should stick together, I've been avoiding them for years."
Alex looked at Ruhe, "Can I trust you?"
Ruhe shrugged, "That's really up to you. If you couldn't trust you're already in trouble."
Alex smiled "Ok, where are you going?"
"Southwest."

Rhore ran as fast as he could until he reached a canyon. He flew over the canyon, very low, but it hurt his wings flying in such strong winds so he landed immediately on the other side. He continued running until he found a small town. he went up to one of the houses and knocked.

Alex still felt a little uncomfortable, "Why are you going toward the School?"
"I'm not going directly toward it. I was just in New York City, and I've learned it's best if you move around a bit when they're looking for you."

The door opened in front of Rhore and there was a girl and her mom. "Oh my gosh, come in," the woman said when she saw that Rhore was soaked.
Rhore walked in and was given some hot cocoa. "You should stay here, for the night," the woman told him, when his eyes started drooping," we have a guest room upstairs and some pj's you can where." She got the pajamas nad brought them in," They were my husband's before he died."
Rhore put the clothes on and crawled into the bed in the guestroom.

Alex nodded, "I learned that the hard way. I've had a few scrapes."
Ruhe smiled, "Come with me then, we'll be safer together."
Alex folded her arms, "Fine. Let's go."
Ruhe grinned and took off. Alex followed.
