Chapter 7: Ending?
(Spot's P.O.V.)
He's back… but he's almost dead… Why is Gluax so cruel…? I wiped the last remaining tears from my eyes; I had to remain vigil over Wolf while he slept, so I could alert the matron of when he would do better… or worse…
"Spot…?" I heard a sleepy voice quietly call out to me, and when I looked down, I still saw Wolf sleeping peacefully. I looked over at Tyler, who had just woken up, "Mmhm?"
"Don't worry about Wolf too much," as he yawned, I was about to fire back off at him for that, but he continued, "He is tougher than he looks. I trained with him when we were still… Others… so, he will be just fine… OH…" his facial expression grew surprised and worried, "I wouldn't do that if I were you Wolf…"
I spun around to see a stunned face of Wolf, who was standing up behind me with his wings stretched to the side. Beneath the shock, I could see the pain in his eyes as he said, "Through the horrible feeling I'm going through, it would have been worth it…" I wrapped my wings around his body, and pulled him into me as I felt his wings wrap around me. I pulled my head away to look into his once lustrous eyes, and felt a few tears stream down my face as I roughly pressed my beak into his, surprising him more, but he soon relaxed into it. Happiness was spinning around my gizzard, butterflies were lifting themselves into my stomach, and heat was flooding into my entire body. I squeezed Wolf even tighter while we were kissing, and I would have kept doing it also, if not for the flinch and winces coming from him.
After I pulled away, he landed on his back and muttered, "I don't know… that kiss was amazing… but the hug was excruciating. The pain and love just balanced each other out." For the first time since he sacrificed himself for us, a true smile crossed my beak as I felt myself giggle. I firm wing was placed on my shoulder, and I heard the matron saying, "First Outillisa, now you! Time for you to leave," she started pushing me towards the exit, "You ladies have got to leave the hurt owls alone…"
"But it was me that did it!" I heard Wolf say, and the matron and I turned around to see him standing up. "I think I'm all better now, so can I go?" I looked over at the matron, who put on a sly smile as she turned to go walk away.
"If you can drink this, then you are fine to leave." I sighed softly as I heard Tyler groan loudly. I looked at him and asked, "What is wrong?"
"The stuff she wants Wolf to drink is what she gave me; it knocks you out cold in five minutes tops. I was fighting to stay awake after a few seconds…" he replied. I gasped, and Wolf just grunted, I'm not sure in approval, or disappointment. We turned back towards the Matron as she came walking back holding a nut cup.
As she gave it to Wolf, he took it, and took a deep drink from it, and slowly lowered the cup. He stumbled towards Tyler's nest, and slowly sat down. His head turned away from the matron and I as I assumed he fell asleep, but I saw Tyler grin.
(Wolf's P.O.V.)
When I was sure the matron couldn't see me, I slowly and quietly spit the nasty tasting liquid out, and whispered, "Sleep trick plan 'c'…"
I heard Tyler chuckle as he lightly poked me in the wing, and he said, "I think he's asleep already… can you check for me matron?"
I heard a sigh, and talons approaching. When I felt someone place a wing to my beak, I shot my eyes open and shouted, "BOO!"
"AHHHHH!"
Thunk…
"…oh… Gluax…" I said as I looked down at the unconscious form of the matron. I looked behind me to see Tyler rolling around as he was howling with laughter, and I looked towards Spot, who was standing there with a bewildered expression on her face. A few of the other owls in the infirmary were either too shocked to move, or churring loudly. I walked forward fast and grabbed Spot's wing in my own "Let's go! Before she wakes up…"
When we exited, we started to fly away, and I could still hear the laughter of the owls from the infirmary as a happy Outillisa flew below us towards the infirmary with Ezylryb flying next to her. Spot nudged into me and said, "Let's go home… I have something I want to ask you."
(Tyler's P.O.V.)
I was still rolling around churring exceptionally loud when Outillisa poked her head down at me. I smiled up at her as I laughed some more, and heard a deep gruff voice ask, "Why is the matron unconscious lad, and where's Wolf?"
I looked over at the voice and stopped laughing when I saw Ezylryb's face. I quickly shot up and dusted my feathers off and put on a serious face on, "He went out with Spot today, and as for the matron," as I looked down at her now stirring body, I couldn't help but feel my beak twisting into a grin, no matter how hard I fought to keep a straight face, "We scared her…" and then I started laughing again.
The matron slowly stood up and looked around. I bet this is gonna get me in so much trouble… but I gotta do it… "Hey matron," when she looked at me with a confused stare, I said, "Boo." She scowled deeply as the other owls started to Churr loudly, and as I predicted, I dove backwards as she attempted to slap me. I tripped over the edge of my nest, and fell backwards and hit my head hard on the floor.
…
Three faces were looking down at me, one looked concerned, one looked mad, and the last one had a neutral face on. They all kept staring at me, and I was starting to grow annoyed as they kept looking at me, "Will you stop it already!" the three faces backed away, and they all now had confused looks across their beaks.
I slowly stood up, and as I tripped, one of the owls grabbed me, and I pushed it away before backing away from the three of them. From what I could tell, the owl I had pushed away was female, and her eyes started to tear up, and she turned away as she started to cry. Even though I don't have any idea who she was, a pang went through my heart and I took a step forward and said, "Lady, I'm sorry if I have offended you, but I have no idea who you are." The beautiful owl looked back up at me, and while the two other owls slowly shifted on their talons I added, "now that I think about it, I don't even remember who I am… but you all seem familiar."
The oldest owl seemed to be a male, and he seemed to have a horrible deformity on his talons, along with his eye that wasn't quite opened all the way. He stepped forward, but I quickly stepped back. The one I had made cry seemed to step forward with hesitant movements. I didn't feel threatened, but I didn't like how she was getting closer. She continued to creep closer to me until our chests were almost touching, and as I looked into her eyes, they seemed so familiar, but I couldn't place where I knew her from. She wrapped her wings around me, and before I could react, she laid her head on my shoulder as she said, "Please Tyler, don't joke around… I'm not in the… mood… for you and Wolf to playing games with me right now…"
Carefully, and gently, I removed her from my body and backed away before saying, "You say my name is Tyler, but I don't know if that is true. If you get this other person, Wolf, maybe they can help me l find out who I am…" Before I knew it, she was out of this room we were in, leaving me with the two older looking owls, and a few owls around the room looking at me…
(Wolf's P.O.V.)
The pain was slowly leaving my body, and being replaced by blissfulness as I soared among the vines around the tree, following close behind Spot, who seemed to radiate with something that resembled happiness, but shimmers of nervousness also came from her. She had wanted to ask me something, but she still hadn't said a word since we left.
Our hollow was soon within sight, and the nervousness from Spot seemed to grow even more. I was about to ask her something, but she darted into the entrance of our hollow before I could open my beak. I sighed before I followed her into the hollow, and when I landed, she immediately gave me a hug, practically showering me with her nervousness now. she pulled away and said, "That night you were captured… when you said we were mates…" she stepped away from me and turned her back to me before talking again, this time in barely a whisper, "Do you really want to become mates?"
I staggered backwards as the words hit my ears, and a full force of emotions started to howl in my ears, screaming their individual responses. Without my knowing, I started to say slowly, "Yes…" the words of every emotion were still blocking out everything else, and it seemed if only a strong wind was blowing past my ear slits, blocking out every sound with a deafening roar. I don't know why, but Spot snapped her head towards me with a huge smile plastered on her beak as I said unknowingly again, "Only if you want too however…"
She flew at me and tackled into me before kissing my multiple times, and by now, my hearing had returned, with my only emotion showing was caring. Spot gave me a particular kiss that made my stomach do a flip as she slowly pulled away. I sighed contentedly, and before she could kiss me again, I heard a female voice call, "Wolf, I need your hel… OH!" I felt all my feathers rise up, and saw the same happening with Spots. I beaked around her head, and saw Outillisa standing there, but looking the other way. She said, "Wolf… Tyler can't remember anything…"
When she said that, I sighed explosively and asked, "Did he hit his head?"
She slowly nodded, and I whispered so only Spot could hear me, "I gotta go fix this Spot… sorry." She nodded, but before I could get up, she made my stomach do another flip. When I was up, I was looking at her with a grin before walking up to Outillisa and saying, "Let's get going…"
I sped off towards the infirmary, and rushed into it as I came near it. Ok, there he is… I walked up to Tyler, who seemed to be panicking and trying to back away. "Calm down Tyler, your amnesia kicked in again; that means you lost your memory… again…" I turned and faced Outillisa, "Give him a kiss… that should jog some of his memories… maybe those sparks his wings used to do will work again."
"Uh… um… n… no. NO. I don't know her; I'm not just going to kiss her!"
"Oh, and do that little rub trick he taught you too…" I added. I turned back to Tyler, and said, "Don't you want your memories back?"
As he opened his beak, Outillisa flew past me and ran her finger down his chest, causing green sparks to dance, and as she tickled, a swear lighting struck his body. His eyes snapped slightly towards me, and recognition spread across his face, and then Outillisa pressed her beak to his. Payback is a bitch…
"AWWWWW! How sweeeeetttt!" I said with a little kids tone. I laughed as Tyler turned bright red, and Outillisa pulled away quickly, her being a deeper shade of red. I laughed louder as Tyler crumpled to the floor. I walked up to him and said, "Sorry Tyler, but Outillisa…" I lowered my voice, "Walked in on Spot and I while we were kissing," I raised my voice now, "And your amnesia had come back also…"
"Haha… yea, thanks…" he said back.
"Oh, and Tyler… get well soon. We have to talk to the King and Queen today… I have an idea on how to end the Pure One Anarchy…" I said. I watched as apprehension crossed Outillisa's face, and a hint of restrained anger crossed Tyler's beak…
-Five Months Later-
I looked over at Tyler and as he nodded, I looked behind us, and saw a pleasing sight; twenty heavily armed and armored guardians' were standing and waiting for us to give our orders to them. It had been hard, but I had convinced the King and Queen to grant us a chance to train troops, and attack the Pure Ones when the time presented itself. I had trained all the twenty owls in my tactics, and Tyler had done the same. All these owls had learned to respect us over time, and they all had equal skill to us, which was a hard task to do. I opened my beak and said, "This is the night! We will finally end the Tranny of the evil owls known as Pure Ones. They have caused many owl kingdoms trouble throughout time, and we will finally end the anarchy they have created. Do not attack any crows you happen to see," mummers went through the small group, "for I have managed to negotiate a war pact with the crows to help us in this attack. We will also be receiving the help of a few eagles, and a few wolves as well. We will win this battle, and finally free all the owl kingdoms from the fear they have been experiencing for all this time." I looked up towards a tree branch, and saw Outillisa and Spot both observing our soon to be departure.
"When we arrive at the mainland, we will fly and wait at a designated waiting area… we will fight for the valor, tranquility, and freedom of every owl that can't, or has died from the Pure Ones… Now!" we looked at each other, and shouted, "LETS FLY!"
A.N.: I know, weak ars ending… but seriously, I couldn't write anymore… I was barely fighting the writer's block I was getting. I was planning on including the fighting scene in this story, but who knows… some other writer might do that for me, or I will make a sequel to this sequel XD.
Seriously though, thanks for everybody's great reviews! Sorry for the weak ending, but I was experiencing writers block…
