A/N: Chapter 2, new and improved (kind of).

As quickly as she could she pulled in her wings and crouched down low. She watched as the figure moved cautiously forward. Her heartbeat quickened it's pace and her breathing became shallow and quiet.

"Who's there?" They called out in a confident voice.

Krista didn't answer. As the figure drew nearer Krista saw that it was a boy. His face told her he was about her age, but he was slightly taller than her and she was 5ft 6". Because she was an avian hybrid she was unusually tall for her age, so this boy was really tall. He was also very skinny. Krista stood up and took a step forward, towards the boy.

"Me!" Krista announced confidently, although that's far from how she felt. The boy looked straight at her. Krista felt slightly unnerved by this but kept her confident posture.

"I thought you were someone else," he said coolly, "And who exactly are you?" He asked keeping the cool, casual expression.

"Krista, is who I would be," she said with her most confident tone, "And you?" She asked.

"Just Eagle," he said with an air of importance.

"Eagle?" Krista asked slightly bewildered.

"Yep Eagle like bird" he said smoothly.

Krista couldn't help but wonder if maybe he was like her, a hybrid. But maybe Eagle was a normal human type name. So she decided to go for it and test him.

"Not exactly like the bird though are you," she watched his face for a reaction. His coolness faltered for a second. Only a second. Then he did something that completely shocked Krista. He unfurled the most amazing pair of wings she'd ever seen. Okay so they were the only pair of wings she'd ever seen but never mind they were still breathtaking. They were a glossy grey with black flecks. Strong, and powerful.

His face dropped. Krista giggled slightly at the sight of his eyes bulging out of his head. He had not been expecting that. Krista thought about it for a moment and realised she had no way of knowing how many others there were like her. Up until this point she'd thought she was the only one. But she always held out hope.

A/N: I hope you guys like the tiny changes. Let me know :D
