Storm Hawks

The Twilight Beauty

Chapter One

It's was a warm night and the Storm Hawks were relaxing. Finn, Junko and Radarr were playing a game. Piper and Stork were reading books. The only person that had nothing to do was Aerrow.

He was too busy wondering about what dream he had. There were people, three of them all wearing cloaks in the shape of a bird.

"But how will I know if she's the one" asked Aerrow

"You'll know in your heart," said the fading figures, "remember this and you'll always know."

"For she is the one who helps and saves

She is the one who lights the darkest cave

So those don't know but yours truly

She is the one The Twilight Beauty"

Those words have been buzzing round his head for weeks. What do they mean?

"I can't let it get to me" said Aerrow thinking out loud so everyone heard.

"Get what to you Aerrow?" asked Piper

"Uh nothing I'm fine" replied Aerrow giving her a fake smile.

"Well okay" she said unsure.

He's been acting weird lately thought Piper.

It turned out that Piper wasn't the only one to notice the leader, the rest of team started to realise too. Like just a minute Finn broke a plate. Aerrow just put his arms up and laid down on the couch and said " I broke plate yesterday it must be catching".

When Aerrow went to fix his skimmer. The Stork, Finn and Junko had a talk.

"What gotten in to him?" asked Junko

"Probably mind worms" said Stork

"Aerrow looks like he has something on his mind," said Finn " someone should talk to him"

"Yeah but who?"

They all looked at Piper who was quietly drying the dishes.

"Maybe Piper could" said Finn smiling.

"Yeah Aerrow will listen to her" said Junko.

"Okay, then who is going to ask her?"

Finn and Junko both looked at Stork.

"Hmphf fine I'll go" said Stork eventually getting up.

When he got there, Stork took a look back. Junko and Finn both gave him thumbs up.

"Uh hello Piper could I talk to you" started Stork

"What is it Stork" asked Piper

"Well me, Finn and Junko have been concerned about Aerrow, he's

been acting really strange lately"

"I know but probably he would not rather talk about it" replied Piper

"Not to us but to you" said Stork

"You really think that?" asked Piper

"Probably yes" he replied

"Thanks, I talk to Aerrow and ask him what's wrong" she said and with that she walked off to find Aerrow.

Piper found him in the hanger bay where the kept their skimmers.

Aerrow was underneath his fixing his. When Piper started walking to him.

"What is it Piper?" asked Aerrow without getting.

"Aerrow…" she started.

"Piper I'm fine just I've had a lot of things in my mind lately" Aerrow interrupted.

"I know just the rest of the team are wondering if you are okay that's all" said Piper calmly.

"I'm fine" said Aerrow annoyed.

Piper lost her patience.

"Aerrow I'm not stupid, I can take a hint" she said in her most annoyed tone.

And with that she walked.

"Why did I even bother" she grumbled loud enough for Aerrow to hear.

"Piper I'm so.."

But it was too late she was gone slamming the door behind her.

Back on the bridge, everyone seemed eager to hear what had happened.

"Your Skyknight is fine" she said picking up a box of pans.

"That's good to know," said Junko "Piper are you okay?"

"Yes Junko I'm okay, I feel okay , what do you think?" she answered slamming down the box of pans with such a force they all played a tune. When she looked up, everyone had froze.

"Look Junko I'm so sorry" Piper said sadly and embarrassed.

"That's okay" Junko said

"Look if anyone wants me I'm in my room" told Piper into the stunned silence. And with that she walked out.

This is my first Storm Hawks story.
