Chapter 1: Hiding

Max POV

I was running. Yeah, I was running for the first time. It was fantastic, I must have been going as fast as one of those human vehicles, what do they call them, oh Yeah, a...car? I was never thought of speaking human words. They call it reading and writing, whatever that means. Naturally, the secret bird language came to me as soon as I was born. Born isn't the right word, more like...created.

Yes I was running from humans. Mean humans that do bad stuff to me. I can't really tell you what they do, because I don't actually know. I have been with these bad humans for many bird years. They make...things and put them in...Ah, I don't want to think about it. I never, ever want to go there again.

I hugged the little me to me, as I ran. I don't know who I am or what I am, so I call the little me, child. I knew it wasn't a real name in human language, but the birds say it means young or little or something like that. So, until I find a better name, the small, white, sick, hungry little me, is child.

I turned the corner of the so called... street. I noticed that the street was bare, just enough room to fly. I started to fold out my wings from under my shoulders, running faster. I bet them in time with my chest. Soon enough my feet lifted off the ground. A single quick sound echoed through the street.

I screamed. Something happened to my wings. A feeling I felt many times before, where the humans kept me. I hated the feeling. I couldn't fly anymore, I fell to the ground, and had just enough time to protect child's head before it hit the ground. I turned my head to see the...cars, racing towards me. Humans in the cars were shouting.

I jumped to my feet quicker than an normal human ever could and continued to run down the street dodging and jumping over cars and these big two story cars (A/N Buses). The cars made weird noises I didn't like they reminded me too much of the place the humans kept me. I run through the maze of streets, until I came to a street that was deserted.

I slowed down my running until I fully stoped. I was... what's the word, oh out of breath. I could hardly breathe. I checked up on Child, who was wide awake and looking into my eyes. She was just as intelligent as I and knew she had to keep quiet if she wanted to stay free. I smiled, and hugged her close. Intelligently, Child hugged back. We held there for a while before hearing the loud noises of the cars.

I looked around desperately for a place to hide. A tree tall enough? While I was looking around I noticed the most peculiar thing.

There was a house in a tree. It looked like it was at the back of the house, but who would put a house in a tree. Maybe they had put it there for us to hide in? Maybe it was there just for me and Child? Well I couldn't stand here, I just had to check if it could keep us hidden for a few suns (A/N days), but still how wacky can humans get; I mean a house in a tree. The next thing I will see is a boat in the desert.

I ran over to the house's side gate, and swiftly jumped over it. I landed lightly and froze, letting my ears scan my surroundings for any movement. Nothing, I breathed out. I ran around to the back of the house into a beautiful garden.

With my super mutant bird night vision, I saw all the colours of the beautiful garden. Many flowers were in bloom. I didn't know the names of them, but I wish I did. I wish I knew the names of everything. I wish I knew the true name of me.

I shook my head to try and clear it from my mind. Dream to be like humans, to walk with them, to talk to them. Sadly the way I was going there was no way my dreams would come true. Dam those stupid wings.

I walked over to the tree and looked up. The "house" was higher than I thought. I could still jump up to it even if my wings were resisting me fly. I bent my legs and counted to three. One...Two...THREE! That was easy. I landed lightly, wincing with pain, onto the entrance of the...Tree house? I ducked under the low door roof, and stepped into my surroundings.

The house was small (A/N 2 meters by 2 meters), but it looked comfortable enough for both Child and I to sleep. I knew she must be as hungry as I was, but I was too weak and tired to do anything.

I sat down on the floor of the tree house. It was actually quite comfortable to sleep on. I pulled of my jacket and made a sleeping spot (A/N nest) for Child. I placed Child down onto my jacket I had set for her. I stood up and walked painfully to the opening of the house, watching out for any unwanted humans.

I heard a small whimpered, I turned to see Child reaching for me. I smiled before walking back to her sleeping spot. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms. Child smiled and relaxed into my bruised arms. I didn't take long before she fell asleep. I continued to hold her, until I started to feel tired myself.

I gently laid Child onto the jacket as she stirred in her sleep I adjusted the jacket to make it more comfortable. Sighed and lay down next to her. I brushed her hair out of her face before closing my eyes.

In the distance, I could hear rain coming. I didn't mind. Maybe If I had a water holder I could catch the rain, but I was too tired to do anything. I just let sleep take over me, physically and mentally. I had been a long time since I had had a decent night sleep.

Little did I know, that two teenagers who slept in the giant house below, would change my life and make my dreams come true.
