1 week later
The week
went past quickly, and Shaula seemed to go back to normal. One
afternoon they were left alone, she apologized to Wilt and there was
peace once again between them. In a couple of days, Wilt began to
feel again that Shaula was trustworthy. And he remembered a decision
he had made.
He had to
tell Shaula. In the end, she had told him everything… Sheila using
her as a living target to practice her fighting skills on… breaking
her wings…
And all
the times she had stared so intensely at him, trying to hide her
interrogative looks to his missing arm, wonky eye and stitched face…
He
had to tell her. He had to get rid of this secret. No one will
know. No one… only Shaula. Wilt knew she could keep secrets.
Sheila
came back to visit Shaula and they once again went for a walk.
„Shaula…
how is it going?"
Shaula's
eyes started glowing red.
„I think
I'll get over it very soon."
„Move
on, then" replied Sheila „I'll be back tomorrow. Hope I'll
see some results. You know, we can't keep Terrence doing this
forever!"
Shaula
grinned evilly… like no one had ever seen her before.
„You
will, Sheila… you will."
Shaula and
Wilt were sitting in the tea-room. Just the two of them.Shaula
poured some tea in Wilt's cup, then smiled at him.
Wilt
sighed as he took a sip of his tea.
„Shaula?"
„Yes?"
her bright black eyes looked up at him.
Wilt
looked around suspiciously, then stood up and peered out on the
corridor before closing the door.
„Shaula…"
he began.
„Wilt!"
she looked sincerely surprised „what are you doing?"
„Remember?"
he asked, touching his stubby arm „I said long ago that one day
maybe I would tell you."
„Wilt!
Oh, Wilt! Are you sure?"
Wilt
looked down, then nodded.
„Yes. I
have to get it off my chest. Shaula?"
„Wilt?"
„Promise
me… promise me you won't tell anyone. Not anyone. Not Sheila,
not Bloo, not Mr. Herriman, NO ONE AT ALL."
„I
promise."
Wilt sat
closer to her, and, very silently, began his story.
Terrence's home
Sheila
entered his room quietly.
„Is it
going fine?"
„Perfectly."
Sheila
took a quick look at what she wanted to see, then hugged Terrence.
„Fine…
great. You're just doing… great."
That night, at Foster's
Night
fell. Wilt slept with a shy smile. It wouldn't come back in his
nightmares. He got it off…
Did he?
The worst was yet to come…
Shaula's
eyes suddenly opened, glowing red. She grinned as she got off the bed
and looked at Wilt.
Poor,
poor stupid boy… it will be not ME to tell the whole world…
Then
she sneaked out on the corridor and down the stairs, until she
arrived to the headquarters of Bloo's Foster's Gazzette.
She
took a peek at next day's headline story, Bloo builds time
machine and goes to year 467358.
She took
it off. Fortunately, it wasn't yet printed, so she could still
write in it.
Stupid
headline. What about… maybe…
Her eyes suddenly glew red such intensely that for a second they lit up the entire room. They kept on shining of the same colour as she rewrote it all…
