Fawn's POV
Doren had become a huge help in school. He gave me the answers to every problem in a flash. He was good company for whenever I had a class with people I didn't know. When I went to LA, Doren snuck off to the kitchen to secretly get some snacks.
/The desks were in rows this time; two people per table. Mal and I sat in the second row. Harris wasn't in that class, but Ingrid Fresher was.
Ingrid had blonde hair and green eyes and was in between fair skinned and tan. She was exceptionally pretty, and never touched makeup. She played every sport imaginable, and only talked to the boys. That was the sad part. At lunch, James,
Mal, Harris, Ingrid, and I all sit at the same lunch table. James and Harris are good friends with her, but she ignores Mal and I.
Ingrid sat in the first row table on the left. James sat in front of me and next to another kid named Nolan. Our teacher, Mrs. Asstel, was really boring. I just sat there trying to say awake for half the period!
Right when my eyes began to shut, a kid named Fred screamed at the window. I picked my head up and saw the weirdest thing. It looked like a mole rat the size of a tower, and was made entirely of ice. It walked on two feet, and had sharp icicles
/sticking out everywhere. When it roared, it shot icicles and frost breath out from its mouth.
"FROSTY THE ICICLE!" James yelled, trying to sound cool, but seemed to be scared. Okay so Frosty the Icicle, or FTI, was out on the loose. It needed to be stopped! I bolted out of the classroom and into the girls locker room.
"Hey, what are we doing in here?" Doren asked, munching on a saltine.
"No time to chat! Wings out!" I said. In aburst of light I was Red Bird, and was ready to fight. I flew straight out the front doors out of the school with ease. You could hear FTI roaring. I flew to a nearby building next to the giant.
It craned its head and looked straight at me. Itseyes turned blazingred and it started to charge at me. I took off into the air and FTI completely missed me. I sort of chuckled, until I saw the thing staring at me. It didn't move, it didn't
roar, it just stared at me.
That's when I got scared.
The one thing that caught me off guard was the shape of a human scampering towards the ice giant. It must've been Dalmatian, and he was interfering. He was going to get himself killed!
While my eyes were still traced on Dalmatian, the ice giant shot one of the icicle things at me. I didn't have time to dodge the ice, so it ripped my wing, and I shrieked in pain. The was certainly bleeding. I began to fall from the sky, unable
/to do anything but cradle myself. I squeezed my eyes shut and prepared for the worst to happen; but then I stopped falling.
I opened my eyes and grinning at me was Dalmatian. I was incredulous. He'd caught me! He'd saved me! I suddenly realized how blue his eyes were, how strong his arms were, how much he cared for me.
"Thanks Dal," I squeaked. I think I liked him.
"Any timeRed," he replied. He put me down and ran up a wall. I stood there bewildered, and I just stood there frozen. Soon enough, I was following Dalmatian, though instead I was flying.
"Dal, wait! We need a plan!" I called over to him.
"I have a plan," he replied. No, he wasn't supposed to say that. He was supposed to listen and come up with a plan, or else they would both end up dead. Dal did a backflip off of the wall and landed on the FTI's neck. He took out one of his
rubber ropes and rapped it around the giant's neck, yanking hard. The walking icicle roared, spitting ice everywhere. Apparently, Dal had this covered.
I made way for a landing and hadeveryone evacuate, but most of the civilians had already made way for an escape. I glanced upwards and saw Dal plummeting from the FTI, flapping his arms like a mad man. I swooped over and caught him
by the arms in mid-fall, flying high into the clouds.
"Ahh! Too high! Please put me down!" Dal shouted. He held onto my neck and squeezed me into a hug like a toddler, his head buried on my shoulder. I suppresseda giggle.
"Wait, you're afraid of heights?" I mused.
"Yes," Dal moaned. I dropped down fast, which made Dal scream like a girl, that made me laugh. Once on the ground, Dal dropped down to his knees and kissed the ground. I snorted awkwardly. He was pretty amusing. Completely forgetting that
the ice giant was still there, the FTI spat a glob of ice at Dal and me. It crawled up around us, forming a sphere, until Dal and I were trapped in an ice ball.
