Chap. 4

I peered over the edge, that was a long fall. WingClaw landed on a tree branch, several nests over, "You coming?"

 I gulped, "Probably not."

"Well, you better hurry your tail feathers, because BranchWorm's coming!"

"Look I maybe should of told you this..."

"Told me what" he screeched!

"I HAVE A TEENSY PROBLEM WITH FLYING!"

"Have you gone yeep!? All birds can fly."

"Actually... penguins cant fl-."

"NOT THE TIME!" He interrupted me in a angry tone.

"I can't do it!"

"Here's a short lesson kid, FLAP YOUR WINGS AND JUMP!"

I mumbled. "Flap to my death, how soothing."

BranchWorm came scrambling out of the tree nest, "come here little child, come to mama!"

Sighing, "well here goes my life." I made a brave leap toward WingClaw and flapped my wings.

"You can do it!" He screeched encouragingly.

I was doing it, I was flying! Well up until I stopped moving.. then I started falling...

WingClaw was frozen in place.

I screeched, "HELP ME!!!"

WingClaw dived toward me, "DONT WORRY I'LL PROBABLY CATCH YOU!"

"PROBABLY?!?!?!?!" I screamed in fear.

He dug his claws in my back, and lifted me into the sky.

BranchWorm stood speechless at the end of her nest. "Wha-?"

I laughed "Come catch us if y-!"

"Actually, um, FeatherFlight she probably can..." he interrupted.

"Plus, I dont see a need for catching!!!" he yelled toward BranchWorm.

I looked at WingClaw and giggled, "Baby" I mumbled.

"Says the two month old crow!" he replied, rolling his eyes.

"Well, how old are you Mr. JustDugMyClawsIntoABabyCrowsBack?"

"Um.. I'd rather not say... and Plus, that was kind of mean Ms.ICantFlyAndAlmostFellDoMyDeath."

"That hurt right here," points to heart, "But it hurts more back here," points to back,"You know where you dug your claws into?" I sneered.

We both laughed.

"Well, what do we do now?" WingClaw asked.

I sighed "maybe we should find the cure for BranchWorm. I feel a little sorry for that crazy old coot."

"What about SpiritPecker, maybe we can find the cure in his tree nest..." He added.

"Ok. Lets go!" I went on.

"One problem," His voice sounded worried.

"Yea?"

"Um, I dont know where it is..." he mumbled.

"What!? Then how are we going to help BranchWorm?"
