So, chapter 3 is now up, as you can see if you're reading this. Eventually, I'm going to draw some scenes from this fanfic. I'll let you know when I've actually done some.. Anywho.. if you have the time, please review. On to the chapter!
Starry's POV
I turn around to Skye."Well, what do you think of it?"
"Looks good to me," he says. He has that dream like expression on his face again, wonder why. I yawn, tired. After all, I didn't get that much sleep because of that storm. I could sleep in the cave, but Ithink I'llsleep in the branches of a tree. Watch me wake up because I fell out of the tree once I get to sleep.Even though that's bound to happen, I climb up the tree, morphing my wings back in. I lay down on a thick, sturdy looking branch. Just to feel safer, I wrap my antennas around the branch a few times.
My ear twitches as I hear the braches sway. I open my eyes back open, seeing Skye in the branch next to me.With a small sigh, I close my eyes again.
As I hear the sound of a twig snapping, I wake up, nearly falling out of the tree. Strange..It's now kinda cold. I slightly shiver as I jump to the branch below me. Hey, where's Skye? I glance around but see no sign of him. Oh well, he'll turn up, eventually... I jump onto the ground, and sit down on a rock near the water, just staring at nothing. Hmm..If it's going to get any colder, I'm gonna need some blankets and stuff..Off to the town..
Right as I'm about to leave, Skye comes flying back
"Where have you been?" I ask him.
"Well, I was kind of annoyed at the cold weather, so I went off to look for a friend of mine who can make the weather cold,"Skye replies..
"Who's the friend?"
"523, but he goes by Slushie now."
"Anyway," I say, changing the subject,"I'm going into the town. It's only gonna get colder, and my fur isn't that thick" I turn around, my wings ready for flight.
"I'm stayin' here," Skye says, walking into the cave.
I shrug and fly off. Hopefully, the electricity is out on some stores. What the meep...there's some snow falling from the sky now. In response, I shiver more.(Yeah, I like the cold..but I don't deal with it well. Weird huh?)
I land in front of a store, and peer in from a window. This place has mostly summer clothes, but there are some winter clothes.Now, which maneuver should I use to get inside? I guessI'll go through the window, but, I'll use my claws to break in. The silver claws I have seem flimsy, but are very tough, and sharp.
I push my claws into the glass, and cut a large circle opening. I slip inside, grabbing anything that could prove usefull. After grabbing everything I want, I almostleave, but what if Skye wants something? No way am I coming back here twice! I grab some things for him, jump out the window, then take flight.
AsI come back to the cave, I find Skye shivering. I roll my eyes. I knew Skye would need some stuff. Good thing I got some. I threw the stuff I stole for him at him. He quickly put them on.
"Oh, here's some hiking boots," I say as I threw them against the wall he was at. Quickly I put on some jeans, a couple of blue and grey shirts, a navy blue hoodie, and some slate colored hiking boots. Skye has on almost the same thing, but his hoodie is a spruce color, and his hiking boots are charcoal grey. " So, wanna just explore around this place?"
"Nothing better to do," he sighs.
This time I let him lead the way. I really hate how long it took to get places on foot. Flying is much quicker. Wait...where'd Skye go? He must have sneaked off while I was zoned out, thinking..
I jump slightly as something hits me. I turn around. Skye's laughing, a snowball in his hand. I duck as he throws another one.
"Hey!" I say, as one almost hits me. While he laughs, I make my own snowball, and hit him in the face with it. I smirk as he frowns..He then runs behind a mound of snow. I decide not to take cover, I'll just run and jump around the snowballs. It would be great practice for.
well...I dunno really...but it would give me something to do.
A snowball begins to zoom right at me. Instinctively, my arms reach out in front in front of my face, and my eyes close. Huh? The snowballdidn't hit... I open my eyes, and give a confused gasp. There is a yellow glowing, almost tranesparent, sheild in front of me. I think it's an electric sheild, generated by my claws and antennas. Hmm...this could be usefull.
Skye peers out from behind the snow mound."No fair, you've got a sheild!"
"Well you've got a mound of snow." I take one arm away from the sheild. Good, the sheild stays the same even if I have an arm away from it. I blow some ice into my hand without Skye noticing, and threw it at him. Yeah! Direct hit!
With a shake of his head, he sends the snow flying off him."Fine, I give up.. How about we go back to the cave? It's getting darker, and colder"
I mumble an okay, but since I didn't open my mouth to say it, it sounded like I said 'Mmhuh'. Skye seemed to know what I said though.
I was going to make a fire in the cave, to help us keep warm, but all the wood around us is wet from the snow. I walk into the cave, rubbing my shoulders to keep warm. Skye was already inside, huddled up in a blanket. Darn it... that's the only blanket I swipped from the store. I roll my eyes..Of course it is.
I sit next to Skye, pulling some of the blanket away from him. That's a bit better. I closed my eyes, leaning my head against the cave wall. Skye snores quietly and leaned his head against me. I was gonna shove him over, but his head did make my shoulder feel warmer. I lean my head against him, and blank out all my thoughts.
As the weeks went by, Skye and I spent a lot of time together. I've gotten really attached to him. I guess that's why I'm still here with him, despite the freezing cold.
I sit in the snow covered branches of a tree near the cave, looking at the grey sky. Snow was falling again. I wipe the snowflake flurries out of my eye lashes and fur.
With a leap, I land onto the crisp,ice covered ground.
Skye walks towards me, a nervous expression on his face."Umm.. Starry I need to tell you something."
"Okay, whadya need to tell me?" I reply, wondering what it could be.
"Well..." he rubs his neck,"I love you." I stand still, a bit stunned,but I quickly recover. I should've known this.. there were so many clues that should have made it obvious. How could I have mised them untill now? But wait...I think I realize something now..I love him too. I smile at him.
"I love you too Skye," I reply. He smiles back at me. Unconsiously, we both move closer to eack other, our faces brushing. We close out eyes and kissed.
I open my eyes, very surprised. Did we really just do that? I'm shocked, but I also have a good feeling from it.
"Hmm..how 'bout we go to the beach?" he suggests.
"Okay," I respond.
This time, we didn't go disquised as humans, so we could fly to the beach. I have to say, I missed flying. I hadn't flown someplace in a while. We land on some rocks that were close to the water. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the beach house with all my stuff in it. I might wanna go check on it.
"I'm gonna go check my hoard of stuff," I tell him.
"You go ahead, I'll just wait out here."
I give him a small kiss on his cheek, and run to the house. Quietly I open the front door, and close it with my foot. Now, which floorboards did I put the stuff under.. Oh yeah, the ones near the fireplace.I pick up the floorboards, checking to see if everything was still there. It is.
As I place the last board back, I hear something outside.They're voices, but not Skye's..thenI hear a car drive off. Shouldn't I have heard the car when it was kinda close by? Guess I wasn't paying attention. I really need to work on that.. Uh no... what if whoever was out there took Skye! I rush out of the house.
"Skye, where are you?" I shout. I begin to panick, hearing no response. Why does stuff like this always seem to happen to me? I was finally happy. Someone loved me, and then they disapear.. Figures.
Tears fall down my face. I couldn't help it. "Skye!" I just didn't want to face the fact that he's gone...
