((Roleplay here if you made a character in flock 1!))

Ryder sat on a rock by himself, gazing out over the sea they were camped out next to. The waves crashed and they wind blew. He sang to himself and waited for somebody else to wake up.

Brooke yawned, stretching. She saw Ryder and walked over to him.

Ryder's head turned. "Hi Brooke." He said softly.

Brooke nodded, still kinda asleep.

Ryder scooted over. "Sit." He said shortly and returned his eyes to the water. The rock he occupied was on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

Brooke walked over and sat next to him, looking at the ocean. She smiled.

Ryder stood up, peeled off his leather jacket and jumped. Right before he hit the water, Ryder unfurled his wings and shot upward again, laughing.

Brooke spread out her wings as well, soaring after him.

Ryder flew high, tucked his wings, flipped and caughthimself just above the water, sending spray everywhere. He kept laughing when he saw he had splashed Brooke.

Brooke squinted her eyes and splashed him back.

Ryder smiled. "Let's not engage in a splash war. I fear you will be the one pissed off and sopping wet." He winked and flew back up to the rock.

Raven bolted upright, gasping for breath. Then relaxed as she realized it had only been a dream. There were no Erasers. No whitecoats with their needles and freaky sterilized smell. She stood and walked outside, saw Brook and Ryder flying.

Ryder sighed as he hit the ground running. "Hey Raven!" He called.

Chester was still sleeping soundly.

"Hey Ryder!" she called back, walking over to him.

Ryder looked her up and down. "You sleep okay?" He asked her.

"Not really," she said, pushing her dark hair back from her forehead. "Bad dream."

((Is Ryder flock leader? Can Raven be second-in-command?))

((Unconfirmed he will be if its okay with Carly. Raven would be a good second in command. But the flock better have somebody chill or they're dead.))

Ryder frowned. "I know what you mean. Sleep sucks sometimes." He commented, watching her intently.

((That's fine; Carly isn't one to lead, she's good at coming up with ideas and stuff like that.))

Carly landed near them on the ground, folding her wings back.

((Okay.))

Ryder folded his ebony wings behind his back and pulled back on his dark jacket. His ears perked up and his eyes scanned the horizon, looking for any sign of danger.

((Okay, cool. So Ryder's leader, Raven's second in command. Got it.))

Raven gave a wry half-smile. "Yeah." She glanced around her, instinctively checking for anything suspicious.

Ryder didn't sense anything dangerous so he just looked at Raven, waiting for her to say something. He wasn't a big talker.

((Yep. Sorry that was so lame it late so I just said that.))

Raven shifted restlessly. She felt like leaping over and taking off. "Let's bounce," she said, jumping over the cliff, letting herself fall for a few moments. Just as she was seconds away from hitting the water, she unfurled her wings and flew back up.

((Lol yeah...it's pretty late. 4:57 AM over here))

((hey...want Ryder and Raven to have a crush on each other? And be best friends at the same time? Not the most original idea...*shrug*))

((Sure. :)
We can probably get on the move soon and just pretend as if everyone's awake...))

Ryder smiled after her. "Alright..." He dropped his jacket once again and sprinted after her, leaping off the cliff. Ryder's grin widened as he flew, he felt so free.

((Yeah...))

Raven flew up to meet him, flying a few feet away from him.

Ryder faced her, flapping so he slowly glided up and down. He smiled at her, then looked at the water beneath them. It was rough and choppy as if a storm was coming on.

Raven smiled back, keeping her wings in the same rythm as his so they wouldn't smash together. "Hey, I found this place a while back. I want you to see it," she said.

Ryder smiled, "Okay, lead the way!" Then he thought for a second and called to Brooke on the ground. "Be back soon!"

Raven flipped in the air and flew towards the place she'd found yesterday. It wasn't far. "Down there." She nodded at the canyon with it's towering cliffs below her.

Ryder grinned. "Pretty." He commented for lack of words. He flew down lower and studied the rocks on either side of him.

Raven landed on one of the cliffs. She rounded one of the huge boulders that jutted from the cliff and nodded toward the hidden cave type place beind it. "I thought it would be good for the flock if we needed it sometime."

Ryder stepped inside. "Looks good." Some light shined in, but without his raptor vision, he would be blind. It was small but cozy. Ryder turned around to face Raven.

((Want them to get attacked by Erasers?))

((Sure.))

Just then, he heard a sound, like a growl. Ryder raced to the edge of the ledge he was standing on. There were erasers at the top of the cliff.

Raven stiffened. Something dark flashed in the corner of her vision and she whirled around-just as an Eraser cannoned into her, knocking the breath out of her and sending her crashing to the ground. She winced and bit back a cry of pain as her head slammed against the rocks. She was back on her feet in an instant, though her head ached.

Ryder cussed and swung a kick around, catching one in the face, downing him. Ryder held up his fists as many surrounded them. He pounced, unfurling his wings, sending another into the dark water. Ryder took another down with a punch to the neck. Something scartched his face and hit his chest, but Ryder got back up and killed that too.

The Eraser who had knocked her to the ground was leering at her. He advanced slowly, and she waited, tense, muscles taut. When he was inches away, she whirled around behind him, delivered a hard kick to his back, then punched him on the nose. He spun around, though slowly, but furious. She clapped her hands over his eardrums, and he wailed and doubled over, clutching his ears. But now the other Erasers were closing in on her. She knocked a few out, then, almost by luck, gave one a hard hit to the base of his neck. He went down like a ton of bricks. "Ryder! Weak spot-back of the neck, at the base!"

"Got it!" Ryder called. He kicked a guy there. He collapsed. Ryder grinned, taking off and hovering, using his feet which were stronger than his hands. Ryder reviced a tear in his wing, bring him down. He cussed, but took down two more before the left and he passed out.

Raven took out the remaining three Erasers easily. Then she saw Ryder. She ran over to him, knelt next to him. "Ryder!"

Ryder opened his eyes, drifting in and out of consciousness. "Shit." He groaned. "That hurt." His wing was bleeding, but healing before his eyes. Ryder's head was clearing and he could sit up already.

((NEW POWER extra super fast healing...))

Raven watched his wing heal. They all healed fast, but not that fast. Wordlessly, she pointed at his wing.

Ryder lifted up his arm and looked at his dark wing. "Oh my god." It was completely healed. "Well, that's convient." His bruised face didn't hurt as much either. Ryder was still bloody and dirty, but by now, completely healed.

Raven gave a wry smile. "Well. Looks like you've got a handy new skill."

"For sure." Ryder agreed and stood up. "You okay too?" He asked, looking her up and down and checking for injury.
