Apologies and captives…
“Ahhhhhhh….” he screamed. “Hey,” I 说 “I never caught your name.” “It’s Aundre!” He called up to me. “What’s your name?” “It’s Ashtaroth.” I said. Just then we made a steep dip, Aundre screamed. “Calm down and be quiet!!” I 说 forcefully. “I’m afraid of heights!” he yelled “What!?!” I 说 “You begged and begged me to let 你 come and now 你 tell me you’re afraid of heights!” “What!?! 你 kidnapped me! ” He cried out furiously “Why did 你 make me come anyway?!?” He screamed. I thought quickly “In the country I’m from you-- they strongly believe in-- no one can know about my mission- I have to bring someone-- I need help---” I struggled to come up with a reason. “What country are 你 from, and what mission!?!” He cried. “I will ask the 问题 here-- don’t make me drop you!” I threatened. “You wouldn’t….” He teased. I let go of him he fell and flipped and turned… “Apologize!” I yelled maliciously. “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry--” He screamed. I grinned smugly and then grabbed him out of the air, flying up higher. “I knew 你 wouldn’t kill me…” He 说 still shaking “You want me to drop 你 again?” I asked grinning. “NO!!” He screamed. I cracked up laughing. We landed in Harkaimia that night….
“Where should we sleep?” I asked “How about a hotel?” 说 Aundre “What’s that?” I asked him. “What?!?” He asked in shock. “What country are 你 from anyway?” He asked “Umm-- how about on those cliffs over there!” I exclaimed desperate to find a way to slither out answering the question. “Race ya’” I called behind me. I ran spread my wings and jumped into the wind. I glided over to the cliffs making sure he could keep up. When we go to the climbing part, I 鸽子 down and snatched him up and carried him to the cliff peak. We landed on the cliff, the moment he hit the ground he fell flat on his back, while I landed gracefully beside him. “Oww!” he 说 rubbing the back of his head. “Where do 你 want to sleep?” I asked completely ignoring his last comment. “Wherever it’s safe….” he 说 looking around cautiously. “How about the 最佳, 返回页首 of that tree--” “No where that we have to fly to.” he interrupted quickly. “Well,” I 说 smugly “I’m going to sleep in that tree, 你 can just hang out down here all night, with all of the bears and tigers…” I teased, and then in one leap, I sprang gracefully into the tree. “Good niigght!!” I called tauntingly.
5 分钟 later…..
“Let-me-up-let-me-up-let-me-up-let-me-up--” he called banging on the 树 trunk. “I thought 你 could handle it.” I joked. “This is not funny!” He yelled ferociously, glancing behind him. I rolled over on my stomach and put my chin in my hands to watch. “It’s pretty funny…” I mused. “Please-please-please-please-pleas--” He called up terrified. “Fine,” I 说 “but, only because 你 are pathetically begging…” I teased. I put my hand down, he grabbed on and I easily hoisted him into the tree. “Thank you…” he 说 sighing in relief. I laughed my evil laugh. “How did 你 do that?” He asked curiously. “I’m tired.” I 说 quickly not answering Aundre’s question. I walked over to a nice looking branch and lay with my hands on my head looking at home. Aundre stared at me for who knows how long. “What?” I asked. “You don’t like to tell anyone anything about yourself, do you….” he said. “I like my secrets.” I told him simply. “Are they that good that they are worth keeping?” he asked. “Wouldn’t 你 like to know?” I 说 smugly. “Let’s get some sleep.” I said. “But, I have so many quest--” “No questions.” I interrupted, “Not tonight….” I 说 sleepily. “Tomorrow?” he asked “Good night, Aundre.” I 说 avoiding the question.
They 下一个 morning I woke up right before dawn, and I sat on the edge of my branch to watch the sunrise. “Good morning.” 说 the sun. “Good morning!” I called. Light was everywhere, it cast long misty morning shadows. This woke Aundre up. “Morning!” I said, easily leaping across the 15 foot gap between us and landing gracefully 下一个 to him. He rubbed his eyes. “What’s for breakfast?” he asked. “I already went hunting,” I 说 “but I guess 你 need to eat too.” I told him. I took him 由 the arm and fell softly to the ground, yet, once again, he fell flat on his back. “Whoops….” I teased. “Oww!” he said. I ignored him. “So what do 你 feel like having?” I asked. “Ham, chicken, sausage, bacon, Owl……” I trailed off. He looked at me, “Owl?” he quizzed. “You had Owl??” “It was really good!” I said. “Where did 你 cook it?” he questioned surveying me. “Who 说 I cooked it?” I asked, picking a feather off of my tongue. “Nice….” 说 Aundre. “I might skip breakfast….” “Suit yourself.” I shrugged. “We better get going.” I said. I grabbed his arm and away we flew.
“Can I ask 你 问题 now?” he whined for the 27th time. “Fine.” I gave in. “What are you?” he asked “An angel, 下一个 question.” I said. I wanted to get this over with. “That’s it?” he said. “I would have expected wizard, monster, half bird…..” “How about…. A shooting star?” I asked knowingly. “What?” he asked. “What would give 你 that idea-- You’re a star?” “Was.” I corrected him. “What happened?” He asked. “Specific 问题 only.” I 说 sternly. “What is your real name?” he asked. “Unukalhai, 下一个 question” I said. “How old are you?” he asked. “I’m not sure, around ten thousand I guess, 下一个 question.” I said. “How did 你 get to earth?” he asked. “I was a shooting star. 下一个 question.” I said. “What is your mission?” he asked. “Why do 你 care?” I asked dangerously. “If I’m going to help you,” he said, “I need to know what I am helping 你 do.” “Fair enough,” I said, “I must make peace on Earth and stop 你 Earth stars from destroying everything.” I 说 severely. “No 更多 questions, I don’t want 你 to ask me any 更多 questions.” “But--” he said. “No questions.” I replied harshly. “Alright…..” He 说 sadly. We flew in silence for the rest of the trip.
We landed in Marazuma. “Let’s go find somewhere to stay.” I said. “How about in a cardboard box on the side of the road.” he 说 glumly, he was still upset with how I turned him off of asking me questions. “No.” I said, I could never cheer anyone up, I was too cold hearted. “How about on 最佳, 返回页首 of that building?” I asked trying to lighten my mood. “Sure, whatever…” he 说 pitifully. Now I actually felt bad, he wouldn’t be nearly as fun to bully. I took him 由 the arm, spread my wings, and flew to the 最佳, 返回页首 of the tallest building.
That night we had been laying side 由 side in silence. I took a deep breathe, “I’m sorry.” I said. I never apologize I didn’t know why I was doing it to him. Though part of the reason may be because I liked company, and I wasn’t about to drive him away. My apology took him off guard, and to be honest, I was surprised 由 the sincerity and truth of the words, I was sorry. “What?” he asked, “I 说 I’m sorry.” I repeated. “Really?” He looked at me surprised. I nodded, “I didn’t expect that, not from you.” 说 Aundre. “Well, I am.” I 说 sincerely. “I thought 你 hated Me.” he said. “Nah.” I 说 shaking my head. “I just like to bully 你 is all, nothing personal, I’m just like that.” “Are 你 this bad and rearranged to everyone?” he asked. “Who knows.” I shrugged, “Let’s get some sleep.” I 说 closing my eyes.
The 下一个 morning I woke up, “Good morning.” 说 the sun. “Good morning.” I said. Sunlight made everything have long shadows. I thought it over, and decided that it was good I apologized. I know it’s the right thing to do but… I’ve just never been able to do it. I guess It’s best if 你 just get it over with.
“Morning.” he said. “Morning.” I replied. “Ready to fly?” I asked. “Sure.” he replied. I spread my wings and I stood on the edge of the building, he stepped up with me, and I took his arm. I jumped and we soared into the air. I always loved the rush of cool air 你 get when 你 first took off. “Can I ask 你 a question?” he asked me. “That depends on what it is…” I 说 suspiciously. “How many days do we have to complete the mission?” he asked. “Twenty-nine.” I said.
He looked at me, “That’s it?!?” “That‘s it.” I answered. We didn’t talk much this time, I was mostly thinking. There was one part of my mission that I didn’t quite understand, but-- no, no, it couldn’t mean… could it? I saw land, “That spot looks good” I said. We landed on a sky scraper to take a break. Why? Well, we couldn’t very well land in the middle of a populated area. I can see the headlines now, ‘ANGEL SWOOPS IN CARRYING TEENAGE CAPTIVE’. We saw a flash of light. It caught the attention of both of us. It began to drizzle, then rain, then pour. There were flashes of light from every direction and the loud rumble of thunder.
*CRACK*
Lightning hit the 最佳, 返回页首 of the building, it startled Aundre so much that he slipped and fell off a twenty story building. I 鸽子 after him spreading my wings it was ten times harder to fly than usual, my wings were wet and heavy, the rain blurred my sight, and I was startled 由 sudden flashes of lightning. It was like I just couldn’t go fast enough. Aundre was just a few feet from the ground,
*ZIP*
I went faster than the lightning. I snatched Aundre, inches before he hit the ground. I pulled him 由 the arm until we reached the nearest apartment balcony with a roof. We sat together we were both shaking… That was definitely not your everyday event, I could only hope no one saw us. In fact I recall looking over the edge of the balcony a few times. When I calmed down enough I looked at him “Are 你 okay?” I asked. “Yeah, you?” he replied. “Fine.” I said. “Wow,” I said, “That was scary.” “Huh, no kidding!” He said. I laughed a little, I was still shaken. When the storm was over we left.
