Chapter 8
"I can see the nest from here!" WingClaw cawed.
"How do you know what it looks like? And how did you know about her?"I asked.
"Well...um... I...uh..."
"Is this what you are keeping from me? You better tell me!" I ordered.
"Ok...ok... WhisperHeart...is...my..." he hesitated.
"YOUR MOM!" I blurted
"Wow! Actually yes. Its good to get that off my back." He answered.
"Really? Wow! That was a guess! She's your mom?! OMG!"
"Yea... Well... I was afraid you might judge me..."
"Dude! Im a better person that THAT!"
We flew over to her nest. It was hidden pretty well. I was actually pretty surprised WingClaw could see it. All I saw was leaves.
"WhisperHeart? Hello? Are you there?" WingClaw called.
"Who is it? Im not going to buy anything!" a stern voice called.
"WhisperHeart... It's me...WingClaw..." WingClaw called.
"WingClaw?" WhisperHeart fluttered out.
"Hi WhisperHeart." WingClaw said shyly. "This is my friend... FeatherFlight."
"Oh WingClaw! I thought I would never see you again!" Whisperheart flew over to WingClaw and gave him a big hug. WingClaw kinda just stood there while she hugged him. WingClaw pulled out of her hug.
"Um...WhisperHeart... This is important. We were both taken by BranchWorm" he gestured for me to come over to him. "Well we got away. We want to help her though. We need to find the cure for yeep-"
"SpiritPecker has a cure!" she exclaimed "but he's dead..."
"Yea... We know. But the problem is we dont know where his nest is. You had him cure your broken wing. You know where his nest is, but we don't. Can you tell us?" he asked.
"He lives about two days from here (One day non-stop). If you go north till you get to the owl Rasha, turn left go straight til you get to the Giant Maple tree, his nest will be the highest nest there. Got it?" she instructed.
"Yep. Got it FeatherFlight?" WingClaw asked.
"Yea I got it."
"Ok. Ready?"
"OH no, no, no, no, no, NO! I am not going to let you go out now!" WhisperHeart interrupted.
"WhisperHeart... We need t-"
"No! I insist that you stay here till morning" WhisperHeart demanded.
"I'd love to stay here for the night! I cant fly at night very well. I just learned." I cawed before WingClaw could object.
"Just learned? You look like two months old!"
"Yea well I am two months old but I never learned till a couple days ago. WingClaw taught me."
"WingClaw? Wow! Im so proud of you!" She turned to WingClaw to give him a hug but he backed away.
"Actually, I better get to bed. I'm exausted!" He did a fake yawn and went to another room.
"Im sorry for his behavior. He's not usually like this." I reassured WhisperHeart.
"I know, I'm just worried for him." she said sadly.
"Well, I better get some sleep. WingClaw and I have a long journey ahead of us. Goodnight." I cheerfully crowed.
"Goodnight." she sighed.
