Zareth Is a Typo Boy Movie:
White Bird
Chapter 11
Nacht
Three years went by without any events. Aloe came and went as he pleased. Sometimes carrying a basket with him. A tiny snoring creature within. Covered in cotton balls, and a blanket. Never woke up even if it got a little loud within the room. Danny swore he hybrinated. After some months Aloe just stopped coming all together.
Ryan, and Danika would stop by when he needed a babysitter or a break. He was falling apart and Danny could tell. Danny understood his desire to be alone. Sometimes Danny would sit on the balcony with all the blankets in the house and pillows from all over and just curl up and look at the stars. Otto would come upstairs and see her sleeping. One of her sisters watching her from the tree across the way with so much fear in their eyes. More often than he cared to admit he had hidden the knives in the house after finding one on the floor and a rip in her outer shell. Danny wanted to give up.
No matter what, she never raised her voice to him or his cousin. Sometimes Ryan would sit with her and they would talk. Ryan would end up holding her as she cried and he'd stay the night. But he and Danika would be gone the next morning.
What could he do? Otto was only 8 years old. If Ryan was unable to do something then what made him think he could fix this? Everything they had ever known was gone and they were alone.
Broken was the word Danika used. Broken...and scattered. Even the ninja were hurting when Arcadia died trying to protect her daughter Kyoyo. Lloyds one and only child.
He sighed as he looked up seeing Aloe break the treeline just on the other side of the corn field. He smiled and waved.
"He squirt." Aloe rubbed Ottos hair and chuckled.
"Where the hell have you been? Moms been…" Otto growled and shoved Aloe's hand away from his head. "Not the hair!"
"Don't you concern yourself. Where's mom?" Aloe asked sitting down on the picnic table with him.
"Not here, she's got a shift at the library. A constant she's been doing for a little while now trying her best to raise me. No thanks to some." He threw a stick to the side and stood up. Otto realized his mistake all too late.
"Oh...okay." Aloe grabbed Otto's hair and held him upright and glared down at the boy. His hair changing color flowing down his back. The purple curls weren't unknown to him. Actually they were so known that Otto smiled and he reached out for her.
"Aunt Mids. You kidder. I thought you were my brother." He giggled kicking his legs in mid air trying his best to get to her. Midnight smiled at him.
"Ah I figured you needed a distraction. You looked so lonely. I thought your brother would at least put a smile on your face. I'm so sad that I was wrong." She said sitting down on the picnic table and put him on her lap running her fingers through his hair. A past time she knew he liked.
"I mean it would be a shame if Danny were to come home to see you with me. You see...I think she's finally remembering." She looked up at the car as it pulled into the garage.
"What do you mean Aunt Midnight?" Otto looked up at her. Her fingers started to get a bit more rough. "Ow...Aunt Mids that hurts." He grabbed her hand.
Her response was to grab the lock of his hair and hold it there. Otto hissed with pain.
"So sorry. I'm afraid you got a bit of a tangle." She lied.
The tears stung Otto's eyes and he tried his best to remove the hand from his hair.
"Please...I'm sorry. Whatever it is I did. I'll be good next time. I promise." Otto was shaking in her arms. Danny opened the back door.
"Otto you should come in now. Theirs rain comin...oh hey Midnight. I didn't know you were coming over." She stopped midway between them and the door. "Midnight your being a bit rough with him."
"Mama!" Otto cried out
"Tread lightly Danny…" Midnight smiled kindly at Danny. "It took so much effort to create him, and if he were to be damaged. There will be hardly any way to repair him. So fragile." Midnights smile grew to be more sadistic. "It would be a shame if he were to...break...something." Otto cried out as Midnight twisted his arm behind his back.
Danny's eyes however rested...just over Midnights shoulder as a large set of teeth bit into the shoulder that held Ottos arm tightly. Midnights arm hung from the teeth of Aloe's mouth. The glare as he looked down at the wingless hornet. Otto fell to the ground at Aloe's feet.
