He watched the newbie head back towards the infirmary. She sure has atitued, were the only thoughts when she walked away from Blake's eldest brother, and first in command.

"Betchya' she won't last 3 days," hissed Brian, flicking Blake with his tail.

He chuckled. "Especially under Jake's watch." The younger brother laughed and went over to talk to his main apprentice. 

Blake, eldest brother growled at Blake. He cringed inwardly and tucked his wings close. In a rage, Jake would try to take a bite out of them.

"Yes Jake?" Blake responded naturally as he came to the wolf's side.

He turned his giant wolf head slightly so he could see the bird-man better. Keep a close eye on her, Jake smirked, Like a hawk.

"Ha ha," Blake scoffed at him, "make fun of the bird guy all you want, but you'll regret this." A wolf laugh escaped his snout. He stuck out his tongue at the 'animal', snapped his wings out, and soared, following the newbie as she ran through the island.

 Where does she think she's going?

Blake's perch from a old oak granted him with the sight of Jordan running into a moss wall. But instead of hitting rock and falling backwards, she went right through. He gasped in shock and hovered silently above the entrance. There was a small nook in the rock wall that fit the medium sized bird hybrid, so he hid in it, just to wait for the girl to leave so he could finish his order and retire  for the night. 

Nothing stalkerish of the sort. But of course it sounds stalkerish you bird brain! Blake curse at himself but shut up immediately when he heard someone coming. He didn't even dare breath when he caught wind of the foulest scent he ever smelt.

The Mistress is here. Or her minions at least.

Fear racked Blake's brain and he sent a silent prayer that she wasn't here for Jordan. But he wasn't heard as he watched 3 hooded figures come around the corner and look at the fake moss wall.

Don't be Shifters or Seers! Please God dang it! He repeated in his head. But yet again, they might Hear.

One of the three hooded ones looked up at Blake's hiding spot. Adrenalin filled his system and he was ready to fly ASAP. The man looked at him with understanding and turned back to the others. But the second female noticed his attention towards Blake and shifted. A fierce black and blue snake (with arms) the size of a alligator appeared in its place. It slithered where he didn't want it to.

Where Jordan was.

A shrill scream echoed through the island, and Blake spiraled towards camp.
