Thank you thank you! To all who have reviewed! And followed and favorited! If you aren't following these people, you better.
xxxcrybabyxxx11 – Thank you for favoriting! And reviewing! I was hoping nobody saw it coming, so that's a great thing! Thank you for liking my writing!
TheRoseShadow21 – Thank you so much for your review! I love constructive criticism. I was thinking how some things could have been probably better in Ziva's POV, but I kind of wanted it in Aya's. Not positive why, I just value my made up characters and I haven't ever done a shape shifter before so I wanted it in her view. I am loving your reviews though! Please keep it up!
Mixuuhh – Thanks for the follow and review! I hope this is a soon enough update, lol. Enjoy!
Ziva's POV
My heart stopped. I may be a strong person but nobody could handle this. A shape shifter!? And now there is some creature in front of me, begging not to tell anyone and crying her eyes out.
I looked at her 'special' features. The long dark bat wings, they were long. The wings looked very strong, but I guess they would have to be for flight. Her piercing dragon like eyes, I didn't know what to think of them. Her claws, long and sharp, what was I supposed to do?
The girl I thought I knew sat on the floor crying. She wasn't just a girl though, was she? I tried to regain composure. Somehow after about fifteen minutes of standing there in paralyzing fear, I let out a deep breath and stood back up using my own legs instead of the wall.
Taking my chances, I took a step forward and knelt down in front of Aya. Aya. Bird. Her name means bird. I guess I could kind of see why she is named that.
Aya didn't look up. She wiped her tears away and sniffled, but kept her gaze away from me. I eyed her wings one more time, before reaching a hand out to her placing it on her knee; my attempt to comfort her.
"I will not tell anyone" I said finally. It took strength, but I still had no idea why I had said it. Out of pity I guess.
Aya slowly looked up at me; I winced a little at the look of her eyes. Her pupils in slits, it was kind of creepy first hand.
"Are you afraid of me?" She said quietly. Her voice was a little low from all the crying. Was I afraid, yes, but who wouldn't be.
"A little, but I think I will get used to it" I smiled warmly. Aya gave me a small smile. Then she frowned again.
"I can't stay here" Aya said sadly.
"Why not?" I asked. I had talked to Gibbs about that. He gave no guidance; he just said something like go with what you feel is right.
"I can't live with you, borrow your clothes every day and night, and eat your food. All of that is taking your money. Which I cannot do." Aya said plainly. As she spoke I could see her long, sharp k-nine teeth. I was sure that these kind of looked like a vampire or something. Although I cannot be sure what these Americans are talking about.
"And who said you couldn't?" I smiled. Aya looked very unsure. But I wanted to help. I know she is dangerous, but I couldn't send her back to the streets.
"I did, I will not take your money" She stated. I stood up holding a hand out to the girl. She took it, and I pulled her to her feet. She stretched her wings then folded them neatly behind her.
"Well, I do not entirely care. I would be honored for you to stay with me for a while. To be honest I am quite interested in what you can do" I told her. I did like Aya, and the fear is gone. She wouldn't hurt me. I trust her. She thought for a second before smiling a little.
"Thank you Ziva" Aya squeaked. She wiped off the dirt from her clothes that had got there from being on the elevator floor.
"I am sorry about earlier" She said lowering her head.
"Rule number six, never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness" I told her. She looked up at me smiling.
"Now come on. I will tell you what has happened on the way to the interrogation viewing room if you want to know. But we have been in here long enough." I informed Aya, turning the elevator power back on.
She nodded but tapped my shoulder, I turned back to her.
"What about the dent I made in the wall?" She asked innocently. Oh, how to explain that.
"Let's just pretend it wasn't ever there" I laughed. The elevator dinged, signaling we were back to the correct floor. I stopped spinning around to Aya.
"You have to-" I shut my mouth instead of continuing. Aya smiled. She already turned back to normal. Her eyes were normal, her nails were normal, her teeth were normal and there was no bat wings sprouting out of her back.
"Ok then" I said leading her out of the elevator.
Sorry for the lack of chapter. This one isn't very interesting. But I have to stop here because I need to go to bed early. School starts in a couple of days, so I have to stop staying up to late and sleeping in.
Continue the awesomeness I call reviewing, following, and favoriting. Thank you all!
