Kindness of a Heart
OK I got the votes in and the pairings are going to be Herry x Phelia and no I am not changing the other pairings. The other's are just going treat her as a younger sibling, so this is a note in advance. I liked the reviews to thanks to all. Ok on with the story readers.
Chapter 2
Phelia slowly awoke and cracked an eye open to check if her surroundings were clear. She slowly got up only to feel that the pain she had from last night was gone. Phelia wondered if she should go out of the cage and explore but decided not to sins she might get caught in the morning.
Phelia got up and stretched her stiff limbs and looked out the age to see who or what was out at the time.
When she looked out she saw a stern woman who looked 50 years old and she was talking to a familiar group of teens. Phelia was curious as to what they were discussing and if it concerned her in any way. So Phelia perked up her ears and listened to the conversation.
"So the Oracle made a mistake on how many of us there are" Atlanta asked while sitting down.
"It appears that there was" Hera said while looking at them. Hera was informing the others about the 8th member of there group.
"Who's descendent is she Hera" Theresa asked while taking a seat beside Jay and thinking what would the new member be like, was he/she mean, was he/she nice.
"This chosen one is suppose to be the descendent of Philyra" Hera said with a little softness in her voice.
"Wait isn't that the goddess of healing" Atlanta asked still trying to let the thought of a new member in.
"Yes and she was a shape shifter as well" Hera said before Hermes came into the room.
"Hera, Aries needs you right away" he said while sounding out of breath to Phelia.
Phelia watched as the woman known as Hera walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"So there's going to be a new member eh" Archie pondered from his spot on the sofa.
Just as they were going to say something else a man that was half horse came in with what looked like a big crate.
"This came in the mail for you" He said while walking out of the room and closing it behind him.
Phelia was curious as to what was in the box and had a funny feeling like something bad was going to happen.
"I wonder who it's from and who sent it" Archie said while looking for a tag to see who it was for.
"Here I will open it" Herry said while walking over to the crate and grasping the top, and pulling it off.
Phelia was amazed at how strong this guy was sins he pulled a nailed down crate top like nothing. Just then something told her that something was in the box that were alive (it's animal senses).
As soon as Herry opened the crate 3 strange looking black panthers popped out. Herry jumped back surprised that something alive was in the box. The others went into a defense mode and got ready to attack the threat at hand. Phelia saw what came out and started to growl a little knowing these animals meant trouble.
"Cronos sent us to eliminate the you heroes" one said while they all circled them.
Phelia watched helplessly from her spot in the cage as they cornered them in a circle (they don't have there weapons) . She made a low growl in her throat trying to tell what the panthers called heroes know she was still there. Then Phelia noticed that the red coat kid (Odie) was standing just near her cage.
Phelia had an idea that would work, if she could still speak normal even though she was in a animal form he may let her out. She thought it would be crazy but it may work to get him to open the cage so she could help.
"Hey You" Phelia said in a almost whispered voice to him. But he didn't hear her and she decided to try again.
"Hey" she said again but this time in her normal voice so he would hopefully hear her.
The kid turned to her and was kind of confused as to who was speaking to him. That's when he noticed the cheetah that the helped yesterday.
"Did you just talk just now to me" Odie said while looking at her while also keeping an eye on the battle.
"Yes" Phelia simply said while also keeping her eyes on the battle as well.
Odie was shocked yet in a way he wasn't, he has fought in battles that had talking monsters before.
"I can help your friends if you open the cage for me please" Phelia said while making full eye contact with him.
"How can I trust you" Odie asked while raising an eyebrow being cautious. He wasn't really sure as to let an animal like her out without having to be killed.
"Trust me I don't have the heart to kill anyone" Phelia said sincerely to him knowing it was true to her word.
Odie nodded and walked over to her cage slowly and lifted the lock to the cage and opened it a bit while taking cover behind the cage.
Phelia nodded a thanks and turned into a tiger an crept into the shadows of the room to the battle. creeping slowly so she was right behind them and they couldn't see her.
"So any last words before we rip out your throat's" another one said while preparing her claws to attack.
"Yea, you might want to run now" Phelia said while roaring and pouncing on the leader digging her teeth in as she went. Jay and the others were startled and Neil looked like he went white in the processes.
Phelia went in front of them a little while roaring a little while doing so.
"Oh girl's look here a little girl think she can take us on" the leader sneered while baring her teeth at Phelia.
Phelia also bared her teeth at this animal knowing that she had to fight there were lives at state.
A piece of fur Phelia got from the cat was floating down to the ground. As if sensing each others movements they waited for it to fall to the ground to attack. As if in slow motion when it fell to the ground things went faster as things got ugly.
The evil animals all went after Phelia at once trying to kill her for interrupting there kill on the heroes. One came at Phelia from the front and Phelia flung the animal over her as a another came at her. The other one came at her back and Phelia turned and put her jaws around its neck and flung it into the wall, but it jumped off the wall and came at her again full force. Phelia knew if she didn't get out some how she would be hurt badly.
Phelia didn't notice that one creped up behind her and sank its teeth into her shoulder making it bleed a little. Phelia turned and locked her jaw around its neck and threw the animal against the wall, hard, making it disappear in a cloud of red. While the other two cats pounced on her taking Phelia down hard to the marble ground. Phelia now was struggling on there hold trying to escape, but one sank its teeth into her same injured arm, and Phelia let out a cry of pain.
Jay and the others finally out of there shock and decided to help her out. Herry ran up to Phelia first and took one by her other side and punched it making it disappear in a red cloud. While Phelia feeling the other one off of her made her get up and toss the other one off of her tearing a little bit of her flesh in the process.
When all of them were gone Odie came out from behind the cage and walked over to the others. Phelia stood up a little while wincing a bit and wobbling a bit. Odie noticed this and walked over to her knowing that she wouldn't attack him.
"Hey you, ok" Odie said while noticed she was bleeding a bit from the battle. Then he noticed the others walking slowly towards there friend and the animal.
"Odie why are you talking to a tiger" Archie said while laughing a little thinking he\is friend went nuts.
"Because this tiger can talk as well" Phelia said while wincing a little at the pain. And this shut Archie up fast in shock.
"You can talk, but how" Jay asked in a shocked voice and wondering how it could in the first place.
Phelia though for a moment deciding whether or not she should tell them, but deciding she should sins they saved her from the cat attack. She sighed knowing that they would probably throw her out on the streets anyway. But she knew they wouldn't sins the guy known as Odie was helping her kindly anyway.
"I guess its alright for me to show you" Phelia said in a worried yet relived voice. While she knew they would want to find out anyway so she thought it was ok.
Phelia thought of her human self and started to change back into her human self. Slowly yet surely she changed back into her normal self, the fur she once had turned into skin and her clothes were still intact like nothing happened, and the hair on her head grew longer.
Jay and the others were shocked, this girl was a tiger and she looked around there age.
Herry was the one who was shocked the most then the others at this, the tiger he once saw was now a girl. In his opinion she looked a little cute, she had dark brown almost black hair that went down under her shoulders. She had a nice looking body that didn't look like she under ate or over ate. Her eyes were a nice color of brown that you could get lost in easily if you looked hard enough.
"Phelia is that really you" Atlanta started in an amazed voice while walking a little to her.
Phelia then turned around and came face to face with a familiar face she remembered when she was still with her mother.
Flash back
"Atlanta this is Phelia" Phelia's mom said while introducing her to a red haired girl around her age.
"Hello" was all that a 7 year old Phelia said from behind her mom while looking at the other girl shyly.
"Atlanta were going to be outside in the back yard talking ok, why don't you show Phelia around" Atlanta's parents said, while walking outside to talk with Phelia's mom.
"So what do you want to do Phelia" Atlanta said while walking up to comfort her new friend. "Do you want to play video games in my room" Atlanta continued while pointing up the stairs.
"Sure" Phelia said as the girls ran up the stairs to play video games and talk.
After about an hour of playing video games Phelia's mom called from down stairs letting her know it was time to leave.
"Hey Atlanta" Phelia said while they started to walk down the stairs to say goodbye.
"Yea Phelia" Atlanta answered while walking down the stairs to her parents.
"Thanks for being my friend, lets stay friends forever" Phelia said while walking to her mom.
"Sure thing Phelia" Atlanta said while wavering goodbye to her new friend.
They visited every day until Phelia turned 8 and she moved to Alberta and they never saw each other sins then.
End flashback
"Atlanta" Phelia said when Atlanta hugged her, but she tried not to wince out load when Atlanta hugged her wound.
"It's been 11 years sins I last saw you Phelia" Atlanta continued while ignoring the looks her friends gave her.
"Uh Atlanta can you introduce you friend, were still here to you know" Neil said while looking at the girls.
Then Atlanta remembered that she had yet to introduce Phelia to her teammates. She smiled and let go of her and walked over to her team.
"Guy's this is Phelia, Phelia these are my other friends and team" she said while Phelia nodded and everyone said hi.
"So how did you turn into an animal Phelia" Archie asked Phelia while looking at her in a questionable way.
"I don't really know how actually" she said truthfully while thinking about it more. What Phelia didn't notice that the wound she had was now visible through her shirt.
"Phelia your bleeding" Atlanta said in alarm when noticing the blood staining her sweater.
This made Phelia come out of her thoughts in an instant and look where the wound was and noticed the blood. She now realized that it didn't hurt anymore when she first got it, it now felt like it wasn't even there now.
"Here sit down" Atlanta said while gently pushing her friend on the couch while pulling off her jacket.
"I'll get the first aide kit" Archie said while walking to get a first aide kit for her.
"I'll go and get Hera" Jay said while walking out the door and to find Hera to tell her about there new visitor.
When Archie came back with the first aide kit, Theresa Told the guys to get out of the room and they did. When they were out Atlanta and Theresa were the only ones left in the room to help her.
Phelia took off her shirt and noticed a little pain was there but it was not as bad when she first had gotten it. That's when she looked at her shoulder and saw the wound that the panthers did to her. It wasn't really large but was big enough to cause blood loss at the time and it looked like her shoulder was torn open. Atlanta saw this and gasped knowing Phelia was in pain probably and it looked like it hurt. Theresa also gasped at the wound and felt sympathy for Phelia, getting bit by a panther would hurt.
When they got the shirt off al the way Atlanta applied some peroxide to the wound and knew this was going to hurt.
Phelia winced at the pain the peroxide and tried not to think about it much. Then Hera came in while closing the door behind her and waking over to the girls.
"What happened to her Theresa" Hera said in a worried voice and took a look at the girl.
After telling Hera what had happened with the panthers coming after them and Phelia saving them sins they didn't have there weapons.
Then it hit Hera, this girl could possibly be the descendent of Philyra and the groups new member. Sins her name was pronounced Phelia it could be a possibility.
Once Phelia was bandaged Hera gave her a gown to were until they got most of the blood off of her clothes. After this was all cleaned up Atlanta gave Phelia a painkiller and it would make her fall asleep as well so she would heal better.
When Phelia took the pill Hera told Atlanta and Theresa that she could stay in the dorm room next to them. They both nodded and lead Phelia to her new room for now till she was better. When the three of them walked out of the room the guys were long gone and probably asleep now (sins Phelia woke up at 2:00pm to let you know).
When they arrived to there destination Theresa went into her room and bid the others a good night. Atlanta nodded and showed Phelia to her room while saying a goodnight also and heading off to her room.
Phelia's room was nicely furnished like a fancy hotel room, she had a four post bed with sheets dangling from them. Phelia also noticed that the room color was a light cream with a hint of lavender in some parts. She had a desk near the window and a white mini couch was beside it, also she had a dresser with a mirror on it with cherubs around it.
When Phelia walked over to her bed she noticed that the sheets were light blue colored with gold stitching at the bottom. She climbed into bed to relax a bit while minding the wound on her shoulder that seemed almost gone. Phelia sighed in pure bliss thinking this was the best bed she had ever slept in sins she came here.
Phelia's eyes grew drowsy sins the medicine was kicking in, but the one thing she had on her mind was to talk to Atlanta to catch up on things she missed.
"I see you have failed in killing the heroes" came a dark voice from the shadows as it saw the three panthers return defeated.
"We had them cornered and ready to kill, but this tiger got in our way" one said while trying not to sound frightened. She didn't know what he would do to them for failing to kill the heroes.
"Did this tiger by any chance have a name" came from the shadows in a demanding voice.
"We didn't get a name, but her voice held the sound of a young girl though" another said while trying to get them off the hook.
At this the shadowy figure pondered awhile and then came to a conclusion in mind.
"Fine, when we attack next time get more information, and don't fail me again" the shadow said the last bid in a cold voice.
"Don't worry we wont make another mistake again" the leader said while inside sighing in relief that they wouldn't be killed.
The shadowy figure vanished and the three panthers left to find a place to heal and rest while planning there next attack.
End Chapter
So what did you all think of that chapter eh. Yes Atlanta and Phelia knew each other sins they were kids. My friend helped me come up with that idea for Atlanta and Phelia being friends. If she didn't come up with that idea then this chapter would have taken awhile longer, so I give my friend a applaud for letting this chapter to continue. Oh yea, find out what happens in the next chapter I'm already working on, its going to be a awesome chapter.
