Shadow

We didn't expect a beast morph as a sparkling. No one on Lockdown's side of the family had been beast morphs; at least we didn't think anyone was, so it came as a bit of a shocker to us. Time passed in space, and all our sparklings grew. While her siblings were all fourteen, Aquila was seven stellar cycles. At that time, she was wanting to fly.

I'm serious! That sparkling did everything imaginable to try to fly. She jumped off of stuff especially. Her favorite thing to jump off of? Her father's trophy case of course!

"Aquila, get down from there!" I demanded.

"I will here in a minute. I gotta wait for the vent to turn on".

She didn't seem to catch on that she didn't have feathers. Her wings were mechanical, so they would work in time, just not now. The vent came on, Aquila spread her little wings and tried to fly. No surprising, she crashed into Lockdown as he came in.

"What in the world are you doin' kid?" he asked.

"Trying to fly" Aquila answered.

"Don't kill yourself doing it".

"I won't" she jumped off of him and left.

I sighed. "I swear, that girl's gonna get herself killed one of these days".

"I think we've already established that".

"Lockdown, maybe we should tell her, and the others, about my being human".

"Shadow, we've talked about this. We're not gonna tell them until they're old enough to understand".

"But Lockdown, she's even more mismatched than you. None of her parts match, and she's a beast morph. I think she deserves the truth".

"She's no different from the others, Shadow. I don't want her to feel any different. No one knows more about being an outcast better than me. I don't wanna make her feel bad. Besides, she'll grow out of this".

We heard a crashing noise, and Aquila called "I'm okay!".

I gave Lockdown a dark look. "I severely doubt that".

But then again, he had a point. I saw no point in arguing, so I just let it go.

A/N: How was that?! I just got done watching Balto 2, and I totally ripped this. I feel so bad right now! Even though I shouldn't. Anyway, gotta go. Leave me a review.
