(Aurora's P. O. V.)
I watched Kim work on her math homework. The pencil moved quickly, math was pretty easy for her. Luna lay silently at her feet. It was a uncomfortable kind of quiet. Charlotte was asleep, and Kim's mom was at work. Soon, I couldn't take the quiet. I grabbed the pencil out of her hands with my claws.
"Hey!" She yelled.
"You've been doing homework for two hours, you need a break." I told her.
"Alright, fine. What do you want to do?" She asked firmly.
"We have to do something?" I asked. Kim rolled her eyes, and took the pencil out of my talons. Her mom made a rule about not sitting around doing nothing, until all homework is done. I groaned, it is so boring staying inside all day. I mean it was a beautiful day, and I would totally go outside if I could open doors, which I can't. I jumped off the table, and Luna swatted at me. I dodged her attack. I waddled away, birds weren't built for walking. I glanced into Mrs. Beulah's library. Kim isn't allowed in there for some reason, but there was no rule that says I'm not! Actually, there is, but I don't care! I made sure Kim wasn't looking, and walked in. There were a couple book shelves, nothing out of the ordinary. Then, something caught my eye, a large brown book, with golden letters spelling "Spirit Birds." I jumped up on the shelf, and dragged the book out. I dropped it, and it made a large crash when it hit the floor. Kim came running over.
"Aurora, you're not supposed to be in here!" She yelled.
"Look what I found." I said, moving the book over to her. Her eyes shifted from being angry, to rather curious. She picked up the book, and ran her finger over the gold bird design in the front cover.
"Oh, it's a book of the different spirit birds." She said, examining the book. Kim walked out of the room, with the book. I smiled, and followed her. She ran upstairs, and I sat on her shoulder. We sat down on her bed, and opened the book. A piece of paper fell out of it, but we ignored it. The first page was about a sparrow, named Willow. Along with a very detailed drawing of her. All spirit birds have their own name, people can't name us. Good thing to, or I would have been named something like Fluffy. We flipped through the pages.
"Flashstorm, a large falcon. Bird of legend. Very fast, special power is the ability to make, and control lightning bolts." Kim said.
"What are birds of legend?" I asked.
"They are very powerful, and smart birds. They have usually lived twice." She said.
"Find me! Am I in the book? Find me!" I said. Kim nodded, and started flipping through the pages.
"Let's see. Clover, Winter, Sandy, Blossom. I don't see you." She said sadly.
"Am I not a real spirit bird?" I asked.
"Of course you are! If you weren't, how come I have this." She showed me her hawk amulet, that was looking proud, and strong.
"What does that thing do anyway?" I asked. She shrugged. Kim continued to look at the pages, when suddenly, she stopped at a page, and her eyes went wide. Part of me wanted to ask what it was, another part didn't want to know. I took a deep breath.
"What is it?" I asked, fear overtaking my voice. Kim bit her lip, and started to read the almost completely blank page.
"Aurora Borealis, or Aurora. Species, red-tailed hawk. Size, unknown. Speed, unknown. Power, unknown.
Obtainer, Serena Crawford. Little is known about this bird of legend. Most of it was lost to history, or banished by the Dark King. All that remains of her is Aurora's story, and Serena's prophecy." Kim said, she was sweating, and shaking with fear. I remained quiet. Then, we heard the front door opened up.
"Kim! I'm home!" Kim's mom yelled.
