Odie stared out the window of his room. the stars winked at him from their spots in the navy blue sky. The horizen was not even going light with the sun. He remebered seeing a painting in Nikky's appartment that looked just like the scene he saw before him. He sighed and cracked his neck, closing his eyes for a minute. He hadn't slept all night and he was ready to drop asleep. He'd only met her, what? 36 hours ago? Forty-eight tops, and yet he couldn't get her off his mind. He needed air. Standing and leaving the room, Odie made his way to the roof. He opened the door, feeling the cool air on his skin (not wearing the red jacket) and welcoming it. The shape of something sitting on the edge of the roof. He saw it turn and immediatly turned on the roof light.
"Nikky?" he asked, seeing the pale girl slink into a shadow of something only to have her large wings knock a pot over. He was about to call everyone else when he saw her raise her finger to her lips, silencing him.
"Don't. Please. I'm just here to talk. To you and only you." she whispered.
"Then start talking." he said. He noticed that her eyes were no longer that piecing red, but back to gey/blue. They were red and swollen like she had been crying though.
"I'm sorry." she whimpered, standing and walking out from her hiding spot, her head low so her eyes wouldn't meet his.
"Okay, this is awkward. Explain." he said crossing his arms, completely confused.
"Its Cronus, hes a monster! He's forced me to do so many things I don't want to do already! Look at these!" she almost yelled, showing him a few over-sized bruises on her stomach, arms and legs along with cuts and scratches. "He did this! He forced me onto a wall and did this! He's running me ragged." she said, silvery tears streaming down her pale face.
"I can understand that," he said, uncrossing his arms and puting his hands on her shoulders, careful to miss the large bruises. " but why are you here on our roof?" he asked.
"I needed to get away from him. I left when he fell asleep." she said, wiping away one of the tears. She saw him stare at her, disbeleavingly. "I need to get away. I need somewhere to stay, I can't be alone right now."
"I can't just-"
"No." she whispered, stepping back away from him, out of his grasp. "Please don't leave me alone, Odie. I need to be away from this. I need protection from him." she said, more tears coming."
It took him a minute to answer, staring into her terrified eyes. His softened. He finally answered. "Alright. You can stay here, but I need to know if your really on our side. Not his."
"I'm on yours. Would I do this to myself? You can't look at my eyes and truely say I'd be with him willingly." she said.
"Okay, come on. You can stay in my room." he said, opening the door and lead her inside. They made their way into his room as quiet as possible. After they entered he closed the door. She sat on the bed, her eyes tired. "Go to sleep, keep quiet. I don't want the others exploding at me this early in the morning." he said. she laughe slightly.
"Alright, but can you stay here? I can't stand being alone right now." she asked, laying down. He nodded and sat on the bed beside her. She smiled slightly and closed her silvery/blue eyes.
"Nice timing on arrival." he said laughing a bit. She was already asleep though. He was still skeptical of her, but if she stayed under watch and everything vital to team was locked up tight, whether it be in his computer mainframe or in a notebook, he was sure they'd be fine.
He noticed her shiver and pulled a blanket over her sleeping form. His eyes caught on a small sivler band on her left ring finger. It was just a silver band with a falcon's face carved into it with silver/blue stones for its eyes. He lifted her slender hand carefully to get a better look. It was well crafted for sure. He couldn't make ends of what it was meant for. He set her hand back dow and moved behind her so he could lay his back on the wall. He shut his eyes for a minute, but soon fell asleep against the wall.
"Odie, get up! Your missing breakfast and Herry's hogging the toast." Archie said, knocking on the door to Odie's room. Atlanta stood behind him, arms crossed. They all hadn't slept easy and they figured Odie was just getting to sleep, but toast was toast.
"Open up Odie." she called through the wooden door. Archie grabbed the knobed and opened the door.
They were both shocked at the sight inside the room. There was Odie, sleeping soundly, with Nike sleeping up against him. She had her back on his lap and herself leaned up on him, nuzzled into his chest. The two in the doorway exchanged glances before quietly entering the room. Atlanta took out her bolas and Archie did the same with his whip. Archie tapped Odie on the shoulder, careful not to wake the other sleeper in his friend's lap. Odie stirred and opened his eyes. He felt Nike in her lap and woundered if she'd crawled onto him in the early hours for warmth or the feeling of protection.
"Odie, shes in your room, don't move and we'll get the others." Archie said quietly.
"No, guys! Wait! This is different, its not Nike. It Nikky in Nike's..erm..mutated form. I found her crying on our roof last night, saying Cronus was forcing he to do things she does want to. Look at this." he whispered, pulling down the blanket to reveal the largest scar on her. It spred across her lower stomach, in a purple/blue colour. "What person would willingly do that to themself?"
"Odie, how can we trust her?" Atlanta asked.
"I don't trust her fully, but I'm sure Nikky is somewhere in there." Odie said, gazing at Nike. She was so sound and peaceful when she was sleeping. And so beautif- 'No! bad Odie! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!' he thought. "We should keep an eye on her." he said finally. The other two nodded.
"Jay's gonna have your head when he finds out about this." Atlanta said, putting back her bolas.
"Thats a good reason not to tell anyone." Odie said, looking back at them.
"Sooner or later someone's going to notice a winged bird-woman walking around the house Odie." Archie said, closing the door a bit.
"She'll stay here." Odie said.
"Well, I'm going back down." Atlanta said, walking over to the door and exiting.
"Anything you and your girlfriend want?" Archie asked teasingly.
"Toast is fine." Odie said. Archie left aswell and Odie looked back at Nike. She was tranquil in her sleep, innocent and delicate. He moved a bit and noticed her moan slightly. He moved back int a comforable position, moving her so she faced his chest. He held her closer, feeling her shiver. He sighed. This felt so right to him, but something nagged at his brain. Something small, silver and grey/blue eyed that stared up at him from Nike's slender hand.
Sushi: chapter seven is up! I have a little favor to ask you guys. In your review for this, tell me which animal you want me to use for a part in my next story. The setting of the stroy for that animal will is beside it. I've already started chapter one, but I need the animal. It'll be mostly A/A, which we need more of, and a bit less of J/T that some other people post. Here are the choices I have:
Wolves, Nunavut tundra
Lions, Africa
Panthers, South Ameircan jungle (don't know if thats where they're found)
Tigers, same place as above (still not sure as I should be)
Foxes, Canadian forest
Fish, my fish tank
