A/n: okay, okay… owls have huge killer talons. XD I forgot to mention that.
Love ya folks!!! Sorry this is out very very very very very (x20) late.
You have no POWL over me
Part 2
How nice.
Sarah awoke the good way. The way humans were meant to wake up… getting just as much sleep as they needed.
Coming back to the real world was a floating experience. She nammered softly with a smile and rubbed her eyes. Birds sang sweetly outside.
It's been a while since she's felt so good in the morning.
So good…
Oh no.
Her eyes popped open.
Something was wrong.
There's no reason she should feel good.
Her dumb first hour class starts at 8:45- which in the world of a growing teen- was cruel and unusual punishment.
She turned and looked at her old fashioned alarm clock on the table beside her bed.
Or…she tried to.
It wasn't there.
The was a little clean area surrounded by dust where it should have been.
"Oh fabulous."
Sarah bolted upright, practically falling off the bed in an effort to find the danged thing suddenly very awake.
She searched under her bed and around the table- behind it and under it.
Nothing. She had no idea what time it was, but she was guessing it wasn't…early. She hoped her teachers accept late assignments.
"Where the hell is it?!"
Just as she said that, something small and heavy hit her head. "Ow!"
Looking down she picked it up. It appeared to be a piece of ….
..her clock?
She almost considered not looking up. It would be so easy…just to ignore it and go downstairs…
But she did,
And sure enough his royal highness was perched on her ceiling fan (not moving-sadly) with the slaughtered remains of her alarm clock dangling from his beak.
"You ate my clock?" She accused incredulously.
He didn't move…just gazed down at her with his yellow eyes. Some of the gears pitifully tried to turn and made a tiny clicking sound.
Standing up straight Sarah pointed at him shaking her finger. "If I find out you made me late for class I swear I'll-…"
He dropped it on her head.
"Ow!" She cried rubbing painfully at her forehead then kicking the accursed thing aside.
She then glared up at him sharply.
He looked back. Other than a now empty peak he didn't move. He just continued to stare at her. Coolly…
"Bird-" She began, standing up straighter. "-This is on." She grinned.
Quickly jumping across the room she ran to the wall by her door.
He looked alarmed finally- quirking his head her way to see her grin widen.
Too late he saw why.
She turned on the ceiling fan.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
It was almost noon. Sarah had to run. She managed to get dressed somehow and if she got to school soon she could still make 6th and 7th period.
Jareth tried to follow her but he kept hitting the wall.
Poor dizzy birdie.
Sarah wished she had a camcorder.
"Stay here, highness, there's no pets allowed at school."
He made a frusterated coo and banged into the downstairs closet.
"Actually I take that back. GO HOME." She growled- an odd contrast to her barely contained giggles- and swung on her backpack. "Lata'"
She cheered in a fake deep voice and ran out the door.
((HOO!)) He exclaimed furiously behind her.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Thank you for joining us Miss Williams." Her teacher greeted coldly.
"You're welcome." She said immediately and cringed. His nostrils flared and a few kids giggled.
"Sit down Williams."
"Yes sir…" She responded a bit more sober and did so.
It was English class.
Her favorite subject, least favorite teacher. The dreaded Mr. Brown.
(Just switch the 'B' with an 'F' and it's Mr, Frown. Which is accurate anyway because he's already more inclined to 'F's than 'B's.)
Mr. Brown liked to drone on about technical stuff and seemed to suck the life out of the magic of literature.
Already Sarah began to zone out when he started his sucking.
She wondered why her dad or Karen didn't wake her up. There wasn't a note, although she was too much in a hurry to look harder for one. She was far too eager to separate herself from her new winged companion.
It was odd he came back. Seriously… if she was him, she wouldn't want to see her.
Unless it was for revenge. He did destroy her clock…
Or maybe it was because he was-
"What is that?!" Someone called out breaking Sarah from her thoughts. Everyone was gaping and staring out the window.
Turning that direction she figured out why.
There was a torqued off owl staring straight at her through the window. He looked a bit more ruffled than usual.
"Woah, it's like he's looking right at you Williams." Brian, who sits behind her whispered.
"He is…" She held herself back from saying and winced at the angry creature. What was he doing here?!
(Tap Tap Tap) He started.
Oh no. Not again!
"Stop it. You are REALLY not coming in here." She seethed at him in a hushed voice-Trying to make him disappear with her psychic powers.
She didn't seem to have any. But this was bad…there were waay too many people here.
His eyes burned and he leaned forward.
(Tap Tap Tap)
"Woah cool, look what it's doing!" Someone said.
"What is it Williams? Does that mean he wants to come in?" Brian inquired amongst the murmurs and smiles of the other students.
She didn't dare answer him and gritted her teeth.
It should be obvious.
That look in his eyes…
…the bird was coming in.
