Hey all, I'm ah back. Hope you enjoyed the last chapter.
Here is number two.
Enjoy
"Do I have to go?" Shayera moaned as she carried her backpack to the teleport. It wasn't heavy at all. Shayera only liked the special make that Flash had bought her. The straps clip together. They don't have to go over your shoulders, meaning that she doesn't have to spend forever trying to get it over her wings.
Shayera didn't know how to take the new that she was going camping with Wally and some of the guys. She loved woods ever since she was a little kid. She especially liked them at night when it was a full moon, which it luckily was in a few days time. Shayera was quite glade that she was getting out of the Watch Tower and so was the other six founding members of the Justice League. Shayera still thinks that J'onn should be coming to. He never gets out. However, she didn't complain. She's half all right with it, but camping with the others too! She's going to die. Each day a different man or maybe more than one. When you think about it that isn't half-bad, but they are your fellow work people, dare say friends! This was going to be fun, fun, fun.
"You'll love it. Come on. We're going to the woods my Uncle and Aunt take me. I still go on camp outs with them. Come on Shay, you'll love it!" Wally exclaimed. For once in her life she wishes Wally would just drop dead! Then she wouldn't have to go. She liked her room. It had become her natural habitat. All right, she'll admit that that is bad. She really does need to get out more.
She looked at Wally. He was wearing a short-sleeved light red top that went well with his hair. He also had knee high green shorts on and some trainers. She herself had a short-sleeved top on, but hers being dark green. She also had knee-high shorts, hers being a much darker green. Then her trainers with were Wally's old ones that fitted. They looked brand new, but Wally always kept his shoes in good conditions.
Shayera huffed and walked over to the teleport. Wally gave her a look.
"What?" she asked, not understanding. What she'd done? Wally nodded past her. She turned round to see Superman, Batman and Vixen walking over to say goodbye.
"Oh man," Shayera cursed. "As if this wasn't as bad as it was already." She turned to face them to let them say what they had to say. Sadly, Superman went first.
"Have a good trip Shayera. I just know that you'll love the great outdoors. The fresh air." Shayera raised an eyebrow. This had to be set up. Batman went next.
"Diana said to have a good trip, and she'll want to know all about it when you get back... I'd quite like to know how you and camping get along too." Shayera was now convinced that this was set up. Last Vixen.
"Good luck girl, ya going to need it. I spent two days in a wood and got a rash in ten minutes. Good luck out there, its jungle." She then surprisingly brought her into a hug. Everyone was shocked at that.
"Thanks vixen you just made me want to go even more." Shayera came out of her hug and watch her walk away. Shayera then turned to Wally who nodded a J'onn to teleport them down.
In a flash, they were in the woods.
Shayera and Flash had been walking through the woods for the last hour and she still couldn't get over how beautiful the woods were.
Sunlight blossomed through the trees like growing flowers. The trees were different shapes. Some were thin while others thick. Some were tall and others were small. Shayera laughed at how the some trees had faces. Mostly nice ones. The leaves on the autumn ground crunched under her feet as she tries to keep up with Wally's quick pace. She was loving this so far and couldn't believe that she hadn't wanted to come at first.
Wally stopped at the top of the hill that they were climbing. Shayera said that she could fly them up, but Wally wanted to do it the 'old fashioned' way. He said that they are camping so they'll camp. In other words, don't fly unless I say so.
Shayera dumped her bag down and looked a t the small clearing. It wasn't much, good place to camp.
"Hey, shay, come check this out." Wally shouted from behind a few trees. Shayera signed and walked over. She was really starting to hate walking, but knew that she would have to if she wanted to make Wally happy.
Shayera a gasped at the sight she saw.
"Wally... It's beautiful." She said breathless.
The view was unreal. It was a slope down to some more woods. In the far disentrance, there were mountains and a beautiful blue sky above them. It wasn't really much, but for someone who doesn't get out much, it was a lot. Wally started to laugh at Shayera. Her face was unreal.
"Yah, it's something. Bet you're happy that you came now. Stupid Vixen putting you off." Wally walked over to the bags to get stuff out. Shayera frowned.
"Vixen never put me off. By saying that it's like a jungle, just made me want to come even more... Although, what if other campers come? What if they hate me?" A horrible thought crept into her mind. She had watched Frankenstein with GL once. She imagined people with fire and pitch forks coming for her because she was a monster. She started breathing heavily without even knowing it. Luckily, Flash knew how to handle her.
"Hey calm down yah. No one here is going to hate you. I know that for a fact. Now, look what I've got." He plunged into his bag and pulled stuff out. A packet of marshmallows, a packet of bisects, a packet of sticks and a packet of sliced apples.
"Everything to make somemores and, I know how much you love apple so I knew that you wouldn't be able to live without them." Wally said with a hart-warming smile. Shayera returned it. She walked over, took the packet of sliced apples, and opened it. She couldn't live without apples.
She walked over to a tree and started staring at it. There was face in it like the others, but this face was different. It seemed scared, not like the others that were happy. This one was full of fear, like it was screaming. Screaming in pain and fear. Begging for mercy at the hand a of a fate far worse than death. It looked like it was warning her. Begging her to run, run for her life and never come back. Like something bad lurked within the woods. It was telling her to run and don't come back. This face was not a happy one. It was a trapped one.
"Well, hello there." Shayera turned round surprised. There stood a woman and a man. Her first guesses was husband and wife. They looked as if they were in there late forties or early fifties.
The wife had short dark brown hair and a white lightly wrinkled face. She had a brown short-sleeved top on, gray knee-high shorts, and a big backpack. She had very light blue eyes that looked like they went on forever.
The man had short brown hair and a long face with a nice jawbone. He also had the same as the wife. Brown short-sleeved top and gray knee-high shorts. Both their shoes were mountain hiking boots so they must have come from over the mountains.
Shayera froze scared at how they might react. Wally got in there first.
"Mr and Mrs Jones, long time no see." He said getting up and jogging over to them, the wife bringing him into a hug.
"Ah, little Wally lovely to see you again. Oh, well, can't call you little anymore can I now, ya big boy." She let go of him and ruffled his hair. Wally laughed and this, like a little kid. Shayera relaxed at the fact that Wally knew them.
The husband looked at her.
"Ah, hello, you must be Shayera." He said walking over to her a shaking her hand. "We've heard quite a bit about you." Shayera raised an eyebrow.
"Ya have?" she asked puzzled at how.
"Oh, yes," Mrs Jones butted in. "We met up with Wally a summers back. He would love to chat about you. Ah, come her girl, let me see you." Shayera walked over to her as she felt her hands.
"Sorry if this is odd, but I'm blind you see." Shayera nodded. She got it. A roommate of hers back a long time ago was blind and had to feel her way around. This took her back. The girls name was Hereis. She was a bit of a hippy, but was alright and they became good friends. Well, were good friends before she died for Thanagar at the age of fourteen.
She remembered what she had been told when she was eight years old.
You're never too young to die.
"Well, form what i can tell you've a lovely girl Shayera. Beautiful wings may i add." Shayera was snapped back to the peasant by Mrs Jones's words. Shayera a nodded.
"Thank you." She nodded back. Mr Jones and Wally had been talking. They noticed that the girls were finished and Mr Jones made an exit excuse.
"Well, maybe we could all meet up for a camp fire tonight? We'll only be down the hill if you need us." He said walking over to his wife and putting his arm round her shoulder.
"Yes," Shayera said. "We'll do that, and we're only up the hill, if you need us." They nodded and waved goodbye.
Until tonight, Shayera thought as she watched them go down the hill. It was nice to know that what happened last year has started to be forgotten. However, she's forgotten something else. Something important...
"Shayera, where are the tents and sleeping bags?" Oh, so that was what she forgot.
"Eeerrr, I kind of forgot them." She gave him a smile, that didn't work, but oh well.
"Great, we have nothing to sleep in.
"Hey, we can do it the 'old fashion' way. Yah. Have some fun." She smiled, jumping on her feet. Her hair bobbing up and down as she did so. Wally smiled and shook his head. He was getting somewhere with her at last, at long last.
"So," she said, walking over to him. "What these woods called anyway?" she asked hopping for a good answer. Wally looked at her a smiled.
"Winged Woods." Just as he said it, a crow screamed. Flapping it wings is flew away to prepare for tonight.
