It was early in the day when a distant cry for help woke me up. I got out of bed immediately. I quietly walked out of the room, and into the kitchen. I found a piece of paper and quickly jotted down a note.
Dear Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel,
I am going into the woods for a while. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
Just wait and make sure that you are all safe.
-Max
I put the note under a vase of flowers and headed outside. I spread my wings and let the wind blow through them for a while. Then, I jumped.
I headed straight for the cry. When the sound got loudest, I tucked in my wings and dove. When I was about ten feet above the trees I spread my wings again. I let myself slowly land on one of the highest branches. I jumped down. The cry was very loud now. It was coming from behind me. I slowly turned around and walked towards the noise. Then I saw it.
There were monsters, robotic fighters, attacking one little thing.
"Please! Don't hurt me!" it cried. It was a little girl. She spoke with such pain, it sounded like she was dying.
"Skye, don't make such a racket. No one will come help you anymore." one of the robots said.
"That's right" I said. Some of the robots turned around to look at me, "No one is coming to help her. But I'm already here." One of the robots ran at me. Before it could do anything I kicked it right in the stomach. It fell to the ground, crumpled up in a ball.
The robots took another look at me, then ran away. I ran over to the little girl on the ground.
"Are you okay Skye?" I asked.
"They... they bully me. I almost didn't make it. I've been alone for weeks." she said.
"Well you're not alone anymore. My name is Max. I'm gonna take you home with me." I said.
"Thanks, Max. You're, you're," She couldn't finish her sentence.
I picked her up and took off. I flew all the way back to house, although it was hard with the extra weight.
"Guys? Meet our new friend, Skye."
