It's daytime by the time I get there.

I don't see anything I set the cage down.

Thunder strikes and I slip down the hill with a scream.

I hang from a cliff.

I hold on by a root. "HELP" I shout,

It starts slipping and I scream.

"Here" a hand grabs mine. "David," I say happily.

"Grab my hand" I take it.

"Hold tight" I grab hold of him.

He pulls me up and embraces me. I hold him tightly.

We let go. "You really think I'd let you come out here alone you okay," he asks. "Talk about a cliffhanger I'm good thanks," I said panting.

I walk back up the hill.

"Where are you going" "I came to find her flock" I shout back.

"And I came here to get you before you got hurt" he states.

The thunder strikes.

"We have to go"

I make it to the top.

"NO" I shout.

I run up to the cage as the wind picks up.

"Doing this on foot is not the best plan" "the gate was closed" I answer as it starts to rain.

"I know I saw it it's too late we have to go" "but the" I look at the dove.

"STELLA ITS NOT SAFE" he yells.

"We need to get out of here come on" he pulls me close to him as we run.

We find a cottage. "Hello is anyone in there" no one answers.

The doors are locked he kicks it open and we get inside.

I set the cage down and he starts a fire for us.

"Okay let's get you dry" he states. "Who owns this place you sure it's okay for us to be in here" "well you're best friends with the Sheriff so I doubt she'll arrest us for breaking and entering" he jokes.

"Here" he puts a blanket around me.

I shrug it off. "Stop" "hey I'm just trying to help" he states.

I nod.

"What's going on with you today," he says genuinely.

"What's going on" I repeat.

"What's going on is I still have feelings for you" I admit.

"What," he says softly

"Why do you think I go to Grannies at 7:15 every morning even though I'm not a morning person," I ask him looking up at him.
