...when no ones there to see them.
Thane spiraled downward, toward an abandoned house at the edge of the city. It was tall and dead looking, falling apart on the empty street below. Just what he needed. He landed gracefully and tucked his wings in as far as they would go, then slipped into his jacket, pulling at it until it was comfy. 25ft wide, bright red and orange wings? Seriously, what were these people thinking?, he thought to himself. He jumped off the side of the building, landing on the one next to it and made his way down from there. Wind whipped at his hair as he made my way to busy part of the city, keeping his eyes out for vigils or Heureux. He snorted at the thought of them. You couldn't go anywhere these days without someone from one of the flocks ambushing you. He sighed and looked around for a good place to get food. He spotted a McDonalds and started over to it. He wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible-even if it meant eating the disgusting food there.
7 miutes later he was out of there and winding his back along the streets to find a ATM. Moneyless again. Wonderful.[/size]

OOC~ please don't make the font smaller than the standard unless it is a note or something because trying to read the actualy story when it is small just is so annoying on my part... Please?
Night was ‘casually walking’ to the outside limits of the city someone was trying to hunt her down or something, she didn’t know who or what all she knew was someone was trying to find her and it never smelt of anything but trouble when someone was trying to find her. Not even her own family had to hunt her down unless it was bad. So not knowing who or what it was that was hunting her increased the inevitable chance of it being bad.
She continued to walk and noticed some abandoned places and walked into one of them. She had an apartment to go to but the hell if she would be so foolish as to lead a stalker to her home. But before she left her home this gloomy day she watched the news and it said it would be a nice day but between the stalker or hunter or whatever and the fact she could just smell the rain and sense it coming all day it wouldn’t be long before it would start raining as the wind was beginning to pick up even more.
Night decided for the night she would stay in the abandoned place. She looked around found a room and being tired from the ‘casual walk’ out of the city, flopped on to it and ‘nested’ into it until she was comfortable and fell asleep.

OOC: Sorry, I'll try to remember that from now on.
Thane grabbed the money and stuffed it into his pocket, then tensed when he walked out onto the street. He could sense rain was coming soon and he most defiantly did not want to be out when it hit. He hunched his shoulders and made his way back to the abandoned home. Much as he wanted to keep moving he wasn't flying in the rain-especially if the heavy black clouds had any say in how hard the rain was going to come.
He wrinkled his nose and paused when a drop of rain landed on his forehead. Tilting his head up he narrowed his eyes as more raindrops fell from the sky, soaking him within seconds. "Great, just wonderful", he muttered sarcastically, pulling his collar up and bunching his shoulders. He quickened his pace, almost running over to the abandoned building. He rushed into the building and slammed the door shut. He threw his coat onto a chair, stretched out his wings and tried to warm his hands, though with little success due to the moist in the air.

OOC ~ Thank you!
Night heard a noise that woke her out of her sleep. Though she was too tired to want to get out of bed there was always the possibility of trouble.
She walked down the stairs quietly, with her back to the wall and railing. Walking ever so slowly down and peeked around to the left then to the right and back to left. Night started to walk to the right of the stair case. Looked into a doorway that she was about to cross.
When she looked through the doorway and into the room where the apparent sound came from and saw someone. She didn’t smell any wet dog but she wasn’t about to risk it, she pounced on the person.

"Ahh!", Thane yelped as something hit him and he fell to the ground. His wings snapped shut with painful speed and were crushed under whoever was on top of him. He groaned slightly, lifting his head that had unfortunately met the floor in a hard, front on collision. He thought his nose might have been dislocated-He at least tasted blood. Oh god, I am in for it this time. I really got to start checking places are clear before I decided to rest there, he growled at himself, before deciding that he was getting squashed and he wanted this person off him now. And there was only one way to do that. "Don't mean to be rude or anything but you're kind of squishing me", and with that he flung open his wings- 25ft of bright red, orange and yellow feathers-and sent them flying into a wall. He couldn't sense any danger coming off her so he stood up and, brushing dust and dirt of his jeans, turned around to face his possible attacker... She was a light skinned girl with short, white and black hair. Not exactly what he was expecting. "Huh..", he stumbled. Social? Not him. Oh hey, I have blood on my face don't I?! Should probably do something about that, He winced as he touched the blood running from my nose. Yep, dislocated. Not broken though. Very good.

OOC~ Like Fox said on the C-Box has to be third person "Thane said" not "I said" Night's hair in the picture looks blond but it is actually white and black and she has silver iris'
When Night hit the walk a lamp or vase something fell from the table and knocked her out. She was out so much not even the brighter-than-the-sun feathers brought her out of the darkness that surrounded her consciousness.

OOC: OK, sorry. I'll try to remember that from now on.
Thane paused for a second, then realized she was out cold. "Ahh, brilliant", he muttered, walking over to her,"Umm. Maybe I should find something for her to rest on...". He looked around before picking her up and carting her over to a chair, where he placed her in what he thought might have been a comfortable position. He peeked out the curtains, to find that it was still raining, then sighed and sat down against the wall. Before long he was snoring lightly, wings stretched out on the floor around him.

After awhile Night started to regain her vision and was awakened by snoring. She moaned a bit moving her head side to side. “What happened…?” She leaned up looking around and saw the guy she jumped on. “Wow.” She whispered still a little drowsy from the hit and beginning to get a headache from the colors of the wings. She kneeled next to the boy. “Wow, I feel sorry for attacking… he’s a bird not a dog…” She gently moved some of the hair covering his face to see her post attackee.

Thane wrinkled his nose then yelped, his eyes flashing open and his hands flying to his nose when he realized that his nose was still dislocated. He swore under his breathe, then looked up and saw the girl. His head jerked back in shock, slamming against the wall. "Ow...well, that helped a bit at least", he said, rubbing his head, then looked at the girl again,"Hey, sorry for knocking you out before...".

OOC~ Sorry for the short post
“Sorry for jumping you… I can fix your nose if you want…” Night pointed to the dislocated, bloody nose.

"Err, no thanks, I'm good", Thane said, pulling himself up into a standing position. He quickly cracked his nose back into place-cursing softly as a jolt of pain was shot through him- then looked her over. She didn't seem very dangerous. He relaxed and pulled in his wings,"Are you OK yourself? That picture frame looked pretty heavy", he said, pointing to the picture that had knocked her out before.

“Slight bruising on my left clavicle and shoulder blade and a little disoriented, but that’s about it.” She laughed a bit trying to make sure he was reassured. “Besides I shouldn’t have been that alert.” She gently massaged her left shoulder.

Thane smiled lopsidedly and cleaned away the blood with a tissue he found in his pocket,"That's good to know...I guess". A shuffled his feet a little and let his bangs fall across his eyes,"I'm Thane by the way", he shrugged. Wow, I really am pathetic aren't I? Maybe I should work on my social skills...He thought to himself, with a small grimace.

“Night,” she said still rubbing her shoulder, “pleasure to meet you…” night started to get up by putting her free hand on the couch to leverage herself up.

Thane helped her up and shivered slightly from the cold then asked innocently,"So, do you belong to one of the flocks or are you a nomad?". And the questions begin..., He sighed in his head. This was beginning to become a tedious reaction.

Night shrugged her shoulders then winced in slight pain. “More or a nomad but I live in the city. And you?”

"Yeah, pretty much a nomad", Thane replied, rolling his stiff shoulders,"I just wonder around, stop whenever I need food or money. I get to see a lot of the world this way. Plus it means I keep away from most of the erasers 'cause they can't keep up".

“I guess that makes sense… I’ve seen plenty of the world, but this is just the current place for me… ya know right place at the right time… well kind of…” She looked away to a window and saw through some ripped up curtains that the rain was increasing in its power and numbers. She sighed. I don’t like heavy rain if it sprinkles it is fun to dance in but nothing this heavy… she sighed again.

Thane nodded,"Yeah, I know what you mean, but places for me only seem to last a month or two". He looked outside and grimaced at the rain. There was definitely no way he was getting a flame in this weather. He saw Night's expression and asked,"Not a rain person huh?".

If she had cat ears they would have perked up in surprise. “What are you a mind reader? But no, I’m not a rain person at least not when it is this heavy.” Night started to blush a bit between feeling comfortable around this stranger and that she was apparently so easily read.
