Chapter 2- Meeting Angel

It's been about six years since I adopted my little Yoru and life was better for a while that is until Jeb left then our lives were a living hell. They have blinded my baby boy and that was the final straw; I've been planning our escape since. I've finally perfected it and I plan to escape tonight or tomorrow.

I probably should tell you how much both Yoru and myself have changed appearance wise. Yoru has grown so much, he's almost to my waist in height, and his beautiful eyes are clouded and unseeing. His hair has grown to his waist and it is almost always braided. His little wolf tail is ragged and wild. I only found out about his tail about a day after I adopted him. His little ears are pointed and healthy looking, well as healthy as you can be in this hell.

As for myself, I'm WAY to skinny due to giving Yoru most if not all my food to keep him healthy. I truly don't regret it, in fact I'm happy I did, if I die from starvation at least Yoru wouldn't go hungry. My hair is a deep brown and was almost to my ankles, they never bothered to cut my hair, so I just have Yoru braid it to amuse himself. My powers have advanced to the point of being able to send images to other people and read their minds. It's quite useful, since he's been blind we've had no way of communicating, I think that's why my powers advanced.

Yoru used to smile a lot and laugh even, but ever since he became blind he's stopped all that and settled for just talking to me with his mind and I talk to him in return and send him picture of all the beautiful and happy things I could think of. I still remember when I showed him when I adopted him and he smiled and buried his head in my hair and took a deep breath falling asleep like when he was a baby.

"Mama, someone's coming" I heard my baby boy think. My eyes shot up and I pulled him close to me so he'd remain out of sight due to my hair. Now you're probably wondering how Yoru could tell that someone was coming; well besides the point that his senses improved due to his blindness, we found out not long after he went blind that he could see auras, therefore, being able to see in his own way.

"Yoru, sweety, climb onto my back and hide in my hair until I know it's safe, ok?" I 'said' to him. I could feel him nod and into my side and climbed onto my back when I sat up. I moved my hair so that it would hide his small arms and legs. Then I heard the squeak of the cart they use to carry cages on. I hide in the shadows of my cage until they were done and gone, then I inched out and turned and started to examine the person in the next cage. The person in the cage was a little girl maybe six or seven years old. She had short blonde hair and small pair of white wings on her back just like me only mine are grey, black and white. Her small form was covered in a white patient gown, like me.

"She's pretty mommy, but not as pretty as you" Yoru said to me. I turned my head to look at him and smiled then kissed his forehead. He grinned for the first time in a long time and cuddled into my hair as I reached around and slid him into my arms so he could sleep. His little hands clenched on to my patient gown and settled the side of his head on my chest, then he fell asleep. I cut off my connection with Yoru so he could sleep, then I made one with the little girl.

"Little one, it's time to wake up. Please wake up" I told her as she started to stir.

"Five more minutes, Max," she mumbled. I chuckled soundlessly and reached my hand into her cage and stroked her hair. She opened her eyes and rubbed them. Once her eyes came to focus and she saw me, she backed away quickly. "You're not Max"

"No I'm Augustias, but please call me Tia, and this is my son Yoru. Who are you?" I asked her causing her to jump slightly.

"My name's Angel" she said. I smiled and nodded to her. I can already tell we'll be great friends and she'll be the one to help us escape.
