The Winged Ones chap. 9

I was kind of dissapointed, i only asked him three questions in the time that i was there. I'll have to be quicker next time. But i cant think about that now, i have to get ready for school. I wasnt quite sure how it would be now that i beat up basically the whole popular group. How would people react?

"bye mom. ill catch the bus."
"ok, bye."
she smiled at me and i went out the front door. I usually just walk to school, and im aways early. Waiting for the bus made me feel like i was missing the whole morning. It finally came, and i didnt know where to sit, so i just looked around, for any familiar faces.

Everyone looked up at me and started cheering. Not knowing what that was about, i kept looking. i found Emma and she directed me to sit with her.

"Whats everyone cheering about, was a celebrity behind me?"
"No silly! They were cheering for you! You basically single-handedly beat the whole popular group. They werent friends with everyone."
"W'll, yea, but. C'mon. That cant be an acomplishment?"
"It appears like it is."
"Hm"
I found that strange. All i did was what anyone would do for a friend. Right?
Well, everyone wil have forgotten about it by lunch, it would go away.

Emma and i were walking in the hall when Kristi came up to us.
"hey Emma. im sorry i punched you, and im sorry we bothered you guys." she said, quietly looking at the floor.

Emma and i just looked at eachother, stunned at what was happening before us.
"uhh, its okaayy...."i replied first.
"Yea, you didnt break my nose so.."Emma added.
Then Kristi just nodded without looking up at our faces, and walked away.

"hm, i never thought i'd see the day!" I turned to Emma.
"Yea, who would have thought?" Then we went to our lockers and the rest of the popular group did the same thing.

The rest of the day was in fact filled with lots of cheering people. At the end of the day, i walked home with my friend in time for training.

"Hey Ava. Im ready. I turned around just as she appeared, and said "hi."

"your getting better. You could tell which way i was coming from because you were listening all around. Now, lets go."

"Ava, I Know Emma!"
"I know, dear. I know everything."
"Do you miss them?"
She stopped, and her eyes clouded with saddness, then she looked at me.
"Im sorry."
"Its alright. yes, i do. but, i get to see them. Mostly Emma though, Eric doesn't start training for another two years." At that moment, i felt truely sorry for her. She wont get to see her son for two years, and shes always off with everyone elses kids. She probably doesnt want to pass her lonely life on to her daughter either. That must be the worst life.

Training was silent, clumsy, and awkward. Like it was my dad and not her.


I couldnt wait to go to sleep and visit my grandfather again. So i hurried home.

"Grandpa? Where are you?"
"right here."
I turned around to see a serious look on his face. Something must be wrong.
"What?"
"I've just been informed of some serious news by the very first head of the humanosa's"
"What!?"
"Wings come in all colors. But, they are usually one color on the outside, and white on the inside. Like mine, and your moms, and jays. But yours are all purple."
"So, what does that mean?"
"It means that the Dark Ones are trying to kill you."
"WHAT!? Why?"
"Because they think they rule our kind, and they think that having three sets of immortal wings will confuse the young ones and cause them to protest. You see, The head is given bright red wings, which make them immortal to rule. Your solid color wings make you immortal, and Kubs wings with black on the inside make her immortal."
"and, am i supposed to know who Kub is?"
"Yes, you will soon enough. You must return to life."
"NO,WAIT!Im NOT FINISHED!! i still have things to ask you!"
but it was too late. He was gone.

I needed to figure out more about my destiny, and who this Kub person was.
