I was in New York again. Alone. Max and the Flock were sleeping in the hotel. I couldn't sleep. It normally happens. I listen into some bystander's head.

Ice cream. I want some more, but my Chihuahuas would eat it all and then get sick and then go to the vet and then I would have to pay for the fee and then I would lose like twenty five hundred dollars because I have like fifty Chihuahuas and then the ice-cream won't be worth it anymore. Am I lying to myself? OOOH! Peanuts!

That kid was... like Nudge but a bit slower... Let's see. Oh that kid. I wonder what he's thinking.

The girl looks lost. I mean she is staring at me like some psycho. She looks like she's extracting information from me. I wonder is there something on my face. I wouldn't care anyway... No I would. Let's ask her. No... Don't, she would be freaked out. Should I?

Typical. I sigh and shake my head. I scan through the sea of voices again and I decide to fly back. I walk into an alley way. Hmmm... Let's see. I spot the fire escape and I climb onto the roof. The roof was vacant and the voices were far off. No one was here. Safe and sound.

Yessssss... Commmme cllllooooossseeerrrr liittttlllle gurrrl

Huh? Strange. I must be delusional. I'm finally going crazy, as Max would put it as. I turned quickly to see if anyone was following me almost hobbling off of the ladder, but the only thing I could hear was the clanking of the ladders banging together. I climb up quickly, for I had gotten my paranoia from Max and Fang. I reach the roof and pant heavily and I quickly run across the roof to take off, but I trip. I trip over a large something. A large something that wet and sticky and warm it was heavy. I kneel towards it and held up the sticky substance on the something and held it up to the city lights. Blood. Wet and sticky blood. Recently bled blood. I check the arm's pulse. Nothing, Zero, Nein, Non, Nothing. I could hear the large footsteps pounding behind me. I u and a up into the air and start flapping my wings, the rush of the air relieves me. I elevated two feet until something grabs my foot and pulls me down.

"Hello, Sweetie. It was nice meeting you."

I hissed. I broke into the captor's head.

Sweetie. Come and get me! Come and get me. Try and kill me, Sweetie. Try and control me like your puppets, Sweetie. I know your secrets. I know your deepest fears and I can make them come true. I will not kill you, but YOU will kill yourself… as in suicide. I am your puppet, Sweetie. Try and control me. Try. Just try.

His grin gleamed in the city lights. I scrunched my eyebrows together. How did he know? How? How!? How had he known about me? Answers! I want answers. I screamed. Thoughts were filling my head. It was loud and it was piercing my eardrums. How? I don't know. A loud static noise filled my head. My sight got lost. I felt my ears numb. I screamed, but couldn't hear it.

Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. HELP! Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. HELP! Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Someone help me. Mommy help me. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Stop! Kicking me! Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. She hurt me. Please believe me. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Mommy I love you. Why don't you love me? Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Why are you calling me fat? I understand that I am and I lost twenty pounds for you. I stopped eating and now I am dying and you're still calling me fat? Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Help. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Don't hurt me! I didn't do anything wrong. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper. Whisper.

Pain was all I listened to. My heart ached. I felt my knees slumped over. My captor's foot kicked my body down to the ground. Why? I can't help. I can't help. I CAN"T HELP! Wails of help from various people cried out. I felt the tears come by the gallon. I wished myself to die. I wished myself to die.

"I wish I can die."

I whispered to myself in my head and I felt all the connection from me to my soul disappears in a crunch and the lights were out.
