He cocked the gun and aimed it at mom."I would hate for you to leave just when our relationship is getting started." He smiled and blew me a kiss. I wanted to hurl.
"If your going to shoot anyone shoot me." I said stepping forward a step. He turned the gun to Tiff. "Nah, I don't want to mar your pretty face, even if it will heal right back. It might scar my image of you." He said giving me a wink. I snarled. "Oooh I like them sassy! I tell you what, you come with me peacefully and I won't kill your friend and mommy." He said pointing the gun at Tiff, then Mom, and finally on me.
I thought for a moment before saying; "Why are you alone?" I asked. He gave me an exasperated look. "What makes you think I am alone?" He said flicking his head up, two small dots appeared on my black tank. "I always make sure I am covered." He said waving the gun nonchalantly.
I focused all of my extra sensory abilities on where the two dots were coming from and a smirk played at my lips. "Alright Finn, I will go quietly with you." I said letting my head fall. "Vie, no!" Mom gasped. "It is for the best."I said. She relaxed recognizing our code for "It's a trick."
I took a few cautionary steps towards him. and he waved the gun for me to come so I took a few more so that I was a "Safe" distance away from him but where he could still reach me if need be. "That's much better. Oh and don't worry. I am sure we can still work out our differences and make this relationship work." He said with one of his sweet Finn smiles which made me want to kill him even more.
I leaped at him and grabbed the gun as he pulled the trigger and pain exploded in my left hip. I spun around and kicked at his stomach as I punched him in the face breaking his nose. I dodged his right and fell back onto my hands as I kicked out his kneecaps. He fell screaming and I chopped the back his neck with my hand. He fell down unconscious. I turned to see Tiff staring at Finn and Mom running to the car to get the first aid kit.
I walked over to the car and sat on the bumper next to Mom and she took the bullet out with tweezers making me wince. She cleaned the blood away and my super speedy healing had already staunched the blood flow the the wound, so she bandaged the wound and I walked over to Tiff who appeared to be in shock. I took her hand and dragged her to the car. "Mom, I think it would be best if Tiff go with you so I can focus on a perimeter around the car. Also, take this. Just in case something happens." I said handing the gun to her. She took it and gave me a hug telling me to be careful. I turned and got Tiff into the car before turning to the woods and running so as to get a good takeoff. I spread out my full twenty foot wingspan and took to the sky feeling the natural free feeling as I rose above the ground and into the vast blue nothingness that is my world.
I swung around and watched with my raptor vision as mom got into the car and drove out of our driveway onto the open road and pull onto the highway. A few minutes down the road I pulled a walkietalkie from my pocket and pressed the button. "Eagle to ostrich, I repeat Eagle to ostrich."I said giggling. "I hear you loud and clear Bozo, where do you feel like moving this time?" She replied and I laughed again.
I acted like I was thinking before I said anything. "You pick." I said knowing full well that she was going to pick was static on the walkietalkie for a moment. "How about Orlando?" She said making me bust out laughing. "Sounds good." I said and adjusted my internal compass to angling south east. I gave mom the directions and turned off the walkietalkie so I could enjoy the beautiful sunny day.
After about three hours I turned on the walkie and in case she needed to stop.
An hour after that she said that she needed to stop and so I told her that there was a restaurant a mile or so down the road and I pulled ahead to scout it out. I landed behind the restaurant in some trees and walked around to the front just as they were pulling into the lot. I waved and waited at the door for them.
Mom ordered a large amount of food and instructed Tiff to do the same. (With my metabolism, in order for me to fly I need three times the daily calories of a full grown man.) I ordered my normal amount of food for the road and we went to sit at a table. Mom walked off to make a few phone calls about selling the house and then rejoined us. "I am really really sorry by the way." I said looking at the table top. "I was getting stir crazy there anyways." Mom said to make me feel better but I knew that she had really liked it there. "I had nothing there really anyhow, except for you." Tiff said, speaking for the first time. I smiled at her honesty, but cringed on the inside at the truth behind it.
We got our food and Mom and Tiff gave the extra food they had gotten for me. I ate it greedily and amazingly finished first.
We paid the check and walked outside into the chilling wind. I grabbed my jacket from the car and gave them a hug before jogging around to the back of the building and taking a running takeoff.
I watched them pull out and resumed my traffic check to make sure none of the cars looked suspicious or reckless then relaxed a fraction to enjoy my flight. I always sang when flying for long trips. So I put on my headphones and turned the music up so that I could barely hear the wind and sang my heart out as I watched for danger.
We continued southeast until long after sundown. I spotted a nice hotel a few miles ahead and radioed Mom about it. She agreed that it would be good to stop about now and told Tiff about it. I again ran ahead to check it out and waited for them to get there.
They pulled in and I took cash from mom to get the room and ran inside while they got the overnight bags. I walked into the lobby and the guy behind the counter looked up at me and smiled. He was about twenty and well built with green eyes and a nice smile. I was instantly suspicious.
"One room please, with two queens if possible." I said as I looked back at the door and saw Mom and Tiff walk in and I relaxed a little knowing they were close enough for me to protect them if need be. I turned back to the guy behind the counter and h was verifying the room cards. "Here you go, one room with two queen beds. And two room keys." He said handing me the cards and I gave him the cash for the rooms before turning around and walking over to Mom and Tiff. I handed one key to Mom and kept the other for myself knowing I wasn't going to let Tiff out of my sight now that she was under my care. I then realized that there had been three cards in the sleeve, I looked at the third and realized it was a hotel card with his number on it. I blushed and walked over to the elevator so I wouldn't have to look at the guy.
We got to the room and I waited for them to get showers much to their complaint for the fact that I deserved the first shower from flying all day. I declined and waited. I grabbed some clean clothes from my overnight bag and jumped into the shower. I was in there for over an hour before I finally got out. I walked into the room and made it secure before letting myself fall asleep.
Dream
I was laying on the ground wet. I sat up and rubbed my eyes only to realize that my hands were covered in blood. I looked around me and there to my left was Mom, and on my right lies Tiff. Both of them practically torn to shreds. There is another body but I don't recognize it until I look and his wrist. There on his wrist is the tatoo of a rifle. Hunter. I break down weeping and then black out.
End of dream
I wake up crying relieved that I had not woken up Mom or Tiff. I got out of bed and checked both of them just to satisfy myself that they were alive and breathing. Then I climbed back into bed and lay there till morning dozing off and on.
