Tears and blood of a Phoenix {on hold}

Chapter 17

I flew for about a minute before getting caught by tornado. I was in his talons, him holding me tightly till I could wiggle free. We flew up so any cargo flying out wouldn't hit us. It didn't take me long to swing over and get on his back. Tornado flew down trying to dodge falling cargo to lift the door up. After about two tries he pushed it up now it was time for the ambush. We flew next to cargo plane. I had tornado claw at the ship. Making a Phoenix with its wings spread out. After that we flew up to the pilots and waited til they spotted me next to them. The co-pilot noticed me first and began to panic. The main-pilot slowly turned his head toward me after he had noticed me. I put my fingers across my neck. Tornado flew ahead and I closed my eyes as he turned around charging at the plane. He swooped up just missing the glass in the front and dove down to the ground, the wind made the plane overturned. Next he flew to the wing and landed there and waited til the plane overturned and then pushed off. I opened my eyes to see the back wing about to hit tornado and me. I closed my eyes waiting for impact and wait. I wait for five seconds and open my eyes to see we are next to ocean and Esperanza. We watch and two figures jump from the plane with parachutes on. They wait for a minute or so and pull the string. One landed in a tree and we didn't see where the other guy went. The plane went down and seconds later we heard a explosion. The pilots were about two miles away from the crash. We go ahead and go check it out.

******** (it was just flying nothing incredible so I skipped that part) ********

After I check and made sure it is safe Esperanza and I try to get as much items as possible. We manage to find fishing gear, food, water, a couple more daggers and bows and arrows, clothing, and three bags. I pack it in the other bags and ran out with Esperanza. We get about a couple feet away so we are hidden. We begin organizing what we have into groups. Weapons, clothing, first aid, food, water. We take two of the bags and make a bag for ourselves (her and Esperanza, the Phoenix's can survive just fine.) we separate the rest of what left of the four groups into two groups: Battle and survival. I place my personal bag behind me and put the strap on my shoulder. Esperanza does the same with her bag. We load up what is left onto the Phoenix's when we hear someone voice. "Phil? Where are you? Holy shit... T....the....p...pl....plane. Boss is gonna kill me." I take out a knife and a pistol. I have never used a gun before but I was taught how to load and shoot. I hide behind a tree and slowly make closer to the voice. It was one of the pilots. I sneak up to a tree next to the plane crash. I went to take a step but ended up snapping a twig getting the pilot's attention. "W....who is there? I am unarmed, please don't hurt me." I decided to step out of hiding. I point the gun in his direction (yes it is a guy and no I did not assume his gender.) He turns around a see me holding the gun. He is about sixteen, a young man with white hair and green eyes. "Please...please don't hurt me.....I have a family and friends......I don't know if they would miss me but I want to be with them. Please! Don't hurt me..." I lower the gun slightly so if I did fire it would hit the ground. "T...thank...y...you."

"Who are you and where are you from?" My face was crease showing no emotion. We spoke in a high-pitch voice, it was extremely annoying.

"I am Travis from Tula..."

"Ok, now tell me is that plane traceable?"

"..."

"Tell me or I shoot and figure it out for myself."

"No, No, please don't. It is, a plane should arrive about twenty minutes."

"Anything else I should know about you?"

"i am not sure."

"Are you willing to fight in a battle?"

"Why?"

"I am Lilith leader of the fallen Phoenix tribe, we are going to fight to end the war..."

"E...end the war?"

"We must, fallen tribes are coming back."

"Besides you?"

"Do you know of the white eyes?"

"No....may I ask how old are you?"

"Well my birthday is coming up so that would make me seventeen."

"Oh....well how come you're helping me anyway?" I hear a plane overhead.

"Shit, that is for another time? So do you want to end this war or not?"

"I do but may I ask why are you recr-"

"Good, run now and talk later follow me!" I grab his hand and lead him to the Phoenix's. I hop onto tornado 's back. He struggles to hop on, so I pulled him up. "

"Damn for a 16 year old you are weak" I stated

"For a 17 year old tribe leader your strong."

I make sure he is holding on and instruct tornado to take off in the opposite direction of the plane. Travis eyes widen as we get higher and higher.

"You're going to kill us!!!" I ignored his scream and think. I switch from sitting up to laying down on the back. I whisper to tornado and ask if 'you can cut of someone's oxygen and still keep them alive.' He nods and cocks his head to the side as if he is asking why. "Can you cuts Travis's air but still keep him alive. He is annoying!"

"Hey!! And please don't do that."

The next thing I know Travis is asleep on tornado's back. Tornado and ocean stop allows me to make a hammock with the bags we found. I lay him in there and hang the bag with him inside of the talons of ocean. We begin to move again. I hang onto tornado's back and stare up onto the sky. I decided I should sleep and decided to do so.
