Starflight new this was the night, she had been captive long enough, she would escape and fly home. Only one shot at this, if I fail... Her thoughts had somewhat lost her or faded like they had been plunged into a thick muddy bog with a hazy layer of fog hanging over so heavy she could not draw her thoughts back out! Stop wasting time. She scolded herself, this will take longer than three moons if I don't keep concentrated.
      As she drew out of the guard how this lock worked she was pleased to find that it didn't require a key, nor other birds... Just her talons and she was out! When the guard had flapped away she started picking at the lock, it felt like ages before she finally got her to flip up the lock. Now she just had to move it to the side and she would be free! It took awhile but there was nothing worth mentioning, although it did make a rather clanky sound and she was afraid that she woke someone up.
      She fly fast and landed on the branch to think for a minute. Her brain was going so fast she barely got out what she meant!in the end she got, GO...DIRECTION...FAST...NOW!!! That's all she needed to know. She started east and was almost out of the camp when... "And where do you think your going?" Said a slithery voice from behind her.

I hope you are enjoying the story as much as I am!
