Chapter 6- The Magical Tear

The night had felt like forever, Noya was sitting on a bench in the basement as her real skin had dissolved inside of her dragon form. She had noticed something, her skin of her dragon was not pink, it was a translucent silver, but it looked really pretty. She woul dhave to keep energized, Alfred came by every three hours to give her the food she needed He would feed her, because she was too weak to feed herself during her transformation. Then she got quiet time alone, she thought about the history o fthe other planet Astor. Where could she be hidden? There must be no light in Astor either. She had looked at the ground, the skin on her neck at the ground, the skin on her neck had started to drip, her face too. It looked as though she was crying. Her skin that had dripped formed into flaky water and grease from her pores. Half of her her face had pealed it was getting ready to dissolve under the dragon layer to be nursed.

Noya noticed something, everytime she looked at the window to her right, a short glassy window it a black rim around with yellow curtains that looked rather bright and distastefull with a brown basement wall. There was a face in the window, it wasn't a kero -- or else it would of had light blue skin. It looked like an animal, had the shape and form more of a hawk. She got up and walked to it slowly. IT was a hawk, she could see it's light brown fur with light yellow eyes, black beak. It watched her carefully, then a horn blew out of nowhere, Noya was startled. The sound of the horn seemed to be like it was outdoors, Noya watched the hawk, it stared at her for a few moments, then backed away and took off.

Noya was confused, most hawks don't just back up and fly away..this one did. It was more then a hawk, she thought. Noya sat back down on the bench as she heard Alfred's footsteps, he was talking to someone- it had a female voice. Alfred walked down alone, "You left your spot, eh?" he replied, smoking a cigar.

"How do you know?," asked Noya.

Alfred pointed at the floor, there were marks of flaky skin drops all over. Noya blushed, "Now sit there please dont move...,"

"I saw a hawk in the window," replied Noya.

"I'm sure you did," smiled Alfred. Noya gave him an angry look, "What? You don't believe me?," she asked. Alfred chuckled, "It will be okay..," he said. Alfred sounded wierd. The whole time he cleaned the floor, footsteps could be heard from the stairscase, It was Noya's mother, Emily, "Hello Dear! It's so great to see you again," she smiled. Noya cringed, "Not you!, I don't want to see you!," she yelled, "It's okay..your mother told me about your illness," replied Alfred.

Noya was confused, "What Illness!..I don't have an illness!," she replied clenching her fists together.

Her mother sounded strange too, "Yes you do.., remember when you hit me dear?,"

Noya got up, "What are you talking about!,"

"Please sit..also there are no hawks located in this area unless you are seeing things," replied Alfred, as he sat next to Emily on the bench in front of Noya.

"I thought you were my friend, Alfred," replied Noya, a tear had dropped from her eye, it was a magical tear, silvery-white. She got up and hugged Alfred, "Let go of me!," he screamed trying to throw her off, her tears rolled off her rotted face, as it fell onto Alfred. Suddenly a spark flew out of the tear- it was magical as Noya saw it. Her eyes widened, the tear had opened itself and a bunch of tiny white stars surrounded, him and he rmother as he threw Noya against a wall.

It was as if they came back out of being under someone else's power. "Oh no!," screamed Alfred, he got up quickly from his chair, "What have I done?!," he shouted tearing his white hairs from his head.

Noya was layed against a wall, unconcious, her mother had awoken to see where she was and saw her daughter laying on the floor, "Noya!!," she ran over to her, both Alfred and Emily picked up Noya onto the bed.

Emily hugged her daughter who was almost dragon form, more skin had dissolved across her neck.

Five minutes later she had awoken, "Alfred?," she called, Alfred and Emily watched her. "Noya!," they shouted looking at her half opened smoky-gray eyes. "I know what happened to you guys..I think," replied Noya looking at them. "No need for that," she looked into her mom's face, it glowed against hers. Her pretty eyes sparkled, Noya hugged her mother, "I love you..," she whispered. Her mom cried softly, wrapping her arms around her child.

"I'm sorry, I never told you..I didn't know what to do..I was scared," replied her mother. "It's alright, I'm sorry I ran away," replied Noya, as she put her fingers through her mothers soft black hair, it felt like silk.

Noya had a pain in her waist, "Mom..don't hug me, you might get skin pieces on you..," replied Noya.

Her mother shook her head, still hugging her tightly, "No dear..I love you, I don't care, your still beautifull to me, no matter if your a dragon or not." smiled her mother, as tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.

Noya felt loved, she kissed her mom's wet cheek from the tears, Noya licked her lips, it tasted salty.

"She'll need sleep," interrupted Alfred, putting his hand through Noya's hair and rubbing it softly as he whispered, "My buddy..," a little smile appeared across his face.

As they turned to go, Noya interrupted them with a question, "What do you last remember..,"

They looked at her and said, "I remember a horn being blown..then it felt as though I was in a deep sleep," replied her mother.

"Me too," smiled Alfred, also confused.

They walked out, "Good night dear," replied her mother smiling at Noya. They closed the basement door, Noya looked out at the window. She thought things over, That horn had to do with something..with them changing their whole personality, and how? There was also a strange light brown hawk watching her in the window, she wondered how long it watched her and why? The tears that left her eyes must of had something to do with her magical form. Her tears were much more stronger as the transformation had been going on. They were tears of healing something that was a part of her dragon form. She was getting tired thinking of it, ones she transformed over night she'd go through having to learn how to transform back to herself, and then she'd have to train some fighting and defence before she had to take off to Bloda, the planet she wished to leave to. The skin was coming off slowly, as she dozed off to sleep.
