Okay, chapter 5 is finally up. Sorry it took so long...I've been lazy, and to add to that I was grounded from the computer because of a certain history grade. But luckily I'm not grounded anymore. Oh and to let you guys know, on my profile I've got some links to pictures I've drawn of Starry and Skye. Thankies to everyone who's reveiwed so far. Anyway, on to chapter 5.
Starry's POV
As the sun sets, I give up on looking for Skye. I don't feel like going back to the cave, thereare too many memories there.They'll do nothing but bring me depression.
I just lay on top of a rock, my wings hanging off the sides limply. My face is still wet with tears, and as the wind blows,I feel even colder. Why did Skye have to dissapear...especially right after I told him that I loved him, and vice-versa. I guess I was ment to never be really happy.. I close my eyes, wanting to forget this whole experience.
What the-? I wake up hearing loud footsteps. With a glance over my shoulder I see the cause of them. There is a tall fish/whale looking alien on the beach. I'm pretty sure he sees me because you know how hard it is to see a deep blue odd looking creature laying on light grey rocks (wink wink nudge nudge).
Slowly I crawl off the rock. Geeze, fish-face must be blind, my wing just went up straight in the air... or maybe hes just pretending not to see me.I crouch behind a rock, and the footsteps grow louder. I lean against the rock as his shadowgoes over me. He's gonna see me no matter what.I vault into the air and soar away.
I give a smirk to the fishy creature as he stomps his foot in frustration.He raises his blaster and fires some plasma balls at me. I place my arms out in front of me, and create an electric sheild. The plasma ball reflects off the sheild, going faster than it had coming towards me, and is headed right to the fishy-guy. As it hits the ground, sand is blown into the air, making something like a dust cloud around the fishy-guy.
I use the opprotunity to fly off. I'm pretty sure I'll see that guy again. He just seems like one of those guys who continuesly tries to achive something, but never does. I've got one word to describe him... loser.
I fly onto the top of a building, and climb down. Who cares if there are a lot of peopole out today. If they start muttering amongst themselves about that it's creepy that I'm blue, I'll just say it was a sharpie freak accident or something... As I walk, something on a pole caught my eye. Looks like flyer, advertising something at the Birds of Paradise hotel. OOOh, I bet they've got free food!Let's see.. it's on Friday. Darn.. you need to buy a ticket to get in..screw that, I'll just crash the party.That works. Now, when's Friday? I think it's tomarrow...Well, I need a disquise for it anyway.
I walk off, headed for the abandoned house. I think I remember stealing some clothes... I ran into the house, and pull up the floorboards. I grabbed the bag and searched throught it. Yes! There were some black flip flops,jeans, a grey shirt, and a choker with shells weaved on it. I reached iside the bag more to find dark blue gloves that had holes for my fingers that went to my elbows. Nice.
I guess I'll just stay in around here till Friday. I don't feel like going anywhere else. I carry all the clothes and stuff up the stairs.Then I go back downstairs to put the floorboards back, andgo back outside.
With a quick glance around I see no one was on the beach. Good good... I morph out my wings, and looked at the ocean ahead of me. I felt a longing to go into the water,even though its.. what?50 degrees out here? Something like that...Well, water's normally warmer than the air is.. I run ontop of a rock and leap into the water. Hmm..this feels good. The water is actually kinda warm, well compared to the air's temperture anyway. I flap my wings slowly, not wanting to zoom off or anything.
It didn't take long before I became bored. Normally doesn't. I swim down to the bottom of the sea, and kick up off the ground. Soon, I surface to the top of the water. Huh? It's notcold anymore. The grey cloudsare gone, and all the snow is melted. Awww...now it's gonna be warm again.. Oh well, the cold was nice while it lasted. I swam to the shore, shaking myself dry as I walked onto land. Hmm..still bored. I grab a rock off the ground and threw it at a palm tree. Mildly entertaining...slightly.
As I look over my shoulder, I see the same fishy alien from this morning. I roll my eyes and sigh. Well, it does give me something to do.. Appears he doesn't notice me here. I'll fix that.
I hop ontop of a large pile of rocks, formed an electric orb in my hand, breathe fire on it, and throw it straight up into the air. He looks over at me startled, as the orb exploded. Yup, that got his attention. He walks towards me, a blaster in his hand.
"There you are..." I hear him mutter. Hey, this might be a great time to figure out what the stuff in my antennas does... I sat there on the rock, waiting until he got close enough. Once he did, I lash out an antenna, letting it go into his skin. I let whatever is in the antenna flow into his arm, and quickly pull my antenna back to me. I did this so rapidly, he had a hard time realizing what I had just done, so his expression tells me. He then fell onto the ground. Uhhh...so, what'd it do? Did I kill him or something? I jump off the rock, observing the fish face. No, he's not dead, he's got a pulse. He then snors. Huh... that stuff in my antennas must be like tranquilizing stuff.
With a laugh, I turne around heading to the house. The sun's beginning to set.
