Chapter 5

"Ok, let's think about this a minute" WingClaw coaxed as he headed for the nearest tree branch. "Ok, the only way we can find the cure is to find SpiritPecker's old medicine nest, right?

"Yep." I answered

He went on "Well, why dont we find someone to ask?"

"Well, do you know someone who might know him, or was one of his patients, or someone who knows where he lived?" I put in.

"I think I do!" he proclaimed.

"Really?! Who?"

"WhisperHeart. She lives about sixty dead tree lengths from here." he finished.

"Finally some good news!" I grinned.

    It was getting dark so we decided to stay the night in the tree we found.

It was a small tree. It was a perfect size for us and it was completely covered with leaves at the top. There was a slight breeze which made the temperture very comfortable. If BranchWorm came looking for us, {which I doubt she will} she'll never find us here.

   I woke up to hear some wings flapping near our tree.

"WingClaw. WingClaw. Wake up!" I urgently whispered.

"Wha-"

I interrupted him "Shhh! I hear something outside. Be quiet and be ready to fly as soon as I tell you to, ok?"

"Yep, Got it." He whispered back.

I snuck to the best spot that kept me hidden but also let me see.

I peered through the leaves. I looked around and at first I only heard the flapping, and then I saw her. BranchWorm. She had come looking for us. She was about twenty dead tree lengths from our tree. I quickly snuck back to WingClaw and told him the news.

"She was heading away from the tree but we need to leave now." I whispered nervously.

He hopped on my back and dug his claws in my back, again, and started flapping.

"OUCH" I complained

"Well you cant fly so, unless you want me to leave you here..."

"No, no I'm good." I quickly interrupted.

He laughed.

We landed about fifty dead tree lengths from where I had spotted BranchWorm.

"Ok, FeatherFlight as much as I love carrying you across the forest, you're kind of heavy. I think it's time I taught you how to fly." he decided.
