Caitlyn yawned and stretched. They have been travelling for five days now and they desert was still all around. It would take about seven more days to get to the sea. She grabbed her make-shift wings, that to Skyler still looked like a bunch of cloth and sticks. Caitlyn attached it to both her wrists then to her waist. She made these when she was ten while she was watching a flying squirrel and then started to copy it's form. Skyler was still asleep, so Caitlyn thought that she would go for a spin. Plus she didn't want to be around when she did wake up for she was always cranky when she did. Caitlyn opened her arms and launched herself of the sand and pulled her arms up to match the current of the slight breeze. She sighed contently and flapped her arms twice and was soon higher in the air soaring through the air. A buzzard with blue eyes was following her and she leaned her arms and it made her turn. She started to scare it of by hooting and making faces. The buzzard flew of and Caitlyn grinned. She then flew up higher and higher to see if she could see the ocean. There it was, a tiny streak of blue of in the distance. "Almost there!" she exclaimed to herself. Then Caitlyn headed back the way she came, darting through the sky like a fish in water. She spotted Skyler still asleep and she landed quietly and a small cloud of dust floated around when she did. Caitlyn unhooked her wings an placed them and the ground.
She walked over to Skyler and nudged her with her foot. "Come on we should get going" Skyler blinked a few times then rolled to her side and grunted. "Why do you always get up so early?" Caitlyn grabbed her hand and pulled her up and Skyler started again. "I mean we want to have lots of energy so we can travel quicker and so we can stay up later to travel and - " "Oh Skyler stop stalling and lets leave ok?" Interrupted Caitlyn "Its going to be another long day for us so we should leave now."
They trudged through the never ending sand that started as soon as they left the jungle. They were running out water and the buzzards were still circling like they have been for about two days now.
"Those stupid buzzards are driving me crazy!" Skyler made a crazy annoyed face.
"Poor things." Said Caitlyn "I bet they are starving." Caitlyn recognized the buzzard with the blue eyes.
"Oh so now you are feeling sorry for them? What about us? We are starving! What are we going to do? This whole trip is a just a wild goose chase!"
"Hey! Chill your pants ok?" Caitlyn said."We will find food. In the desert. Somehow."
"Your not helping." Skyler paced around. "I had no idea big journies were so stressfull"
"Your complaining again."
"I am not!" Skyler grunted and Caitlyn rolled her eyes."Yes you are. Now lets go. We are almost there."
