Fly Away

Chapter one

Gilda's pov

"It's been 2 months since we escaped from the farm, It's been really hard finding food and shelter since we have a big group. We've been moving from place to place trying to hide from those terrifying demons.

I glanced at Don while he was admiring the birds from across the streets that he told me when he learned about different birds from Ray. I never knew what was so interesting about them. I mean they are pretty, But he's never really looked at books back then.what catches his eye..? Me and the older kids discuss the next plans to prepare for what we need next as the younger kids are asleep peacefully on the ground since they were tired of walking. As I look at the birds I notice that...they could fly anywhere...maybe if we were birds we would go anywhere without any worries. I zoned out for a bit but came back to hearing Emma saying "we'll have to move before sunset and once we find a place were we can all fit to sleep we'll settle down Don and Gilda will be a on look out tonight for about 3 hours and then we'll switch over to me and Ray'' I always wondered where we would sleep if we didn't find a place were we all fit but that's never happened. I wonder how It's going at the farm...? Is mother still shipping kids over these past 2 months..? Or are they safe...?

We started walking, I took a quick glance at Don, still admiring the birds, Every step I took... It always makes me think, what if we ran into other humans? We've been walking In a town God knows where and we have  seen many buildings, Humans, Cars,, Nothing but Buildings. Emma's found fruits in almost half the trees we've come across.

Don's POV

Over the past 2 months we've been moving from place to place without spotting any demons. It's been hard surviving 2 months without no permanent shelter but I think we've managed to at least be safe from them

I've found interest in birds that Ray has shown me in the so-called books he stole from the farm. I've never really found interest in them but lately I've been thinking... that those birds meant freedom to me. I don't know why but that really gave me hope for the future. I've also wondered what would happen if we ran into a demon...My thoughts get filled with terrible things.What would happen? Will we die? What if everyone has to return back? What would happen then? I was still admiring the birds Ray has shown me when I hear Emma saying "We're moving again"

I was kinda disappointed knowing that I'll probably never see the birds again but I had hope... hope that's leading me to thinking I'm free. What's gonna happen In the future? What if we end up in a humble home or maybe once we're all older we could get jobs and live together. I've always wanted to become a doctor. Since we don't own any money, we would most likely climb trees and find fruits. We always thought of asking for money since we're just under 12 and we're a big group of people. But I always disagree with them because I think I've heard someone saying that some people from outside the farm were associated with demons. But who knows maybe they won't know we're from the farm. But who knows maybe we could ask for money so we could get out of these clothes we've been wearing since we've escaped.
