Chapter 8: A Whole New World

(Hey everybody! This took forever to plan, but I finally got it up. Enjoy this will be the first of my chapters to include two songs, and I do not own anyone of them.)

The sun had set upon the city of San Francisco, ushering in starry endless night. Sasha lied on her stomach in bed, nibbling at the pencil in her hand trying to figure out a math equation, "Ugh, Mr. Hollister cannot possibly expect us to get this in time for the Exam!" She set down her pencil and planted her face in her pillow, groaning. "It seems like you could use some help." Sasha looked up to see the warm eyes of Charlie Barkin staring down at her, she nearly screamed, holding her muzzle she got out "Charlie?! What are you doing here? My parents are right down stairs, if they catch you-"Her rant was silenced by Charlie's soft, furry lips planting it's self on hers, he broke the kiss smiling "I missed you too."

Sasha shook her head to avoid the usual trance she falls into after kissing Charlie. "What do I owe the pleasure of having you in my bedroom?" She asks, Charlie sat down next to her, "Can't I just visit my girlfriend?" He grins; Sasha rolls her eyes playfully and kisses his cheek, "Of course you can love." She giggles, "Im just in the middle of something right now." She tilts her head over to her unfinished Algebra homework, Charlie picks up her homework his eyes quickly followed the words, speaking incoherently under his breath.

After a minute or two, Charlie picked up Sasha's pencil and scribbled down something and handed it to her, "This will help make everything easier for you." He says. Sasha looks at the paper and smiles. "You're the best" Her arms then coiled around his neck in a tight death grip, she quickly but passionately kisses him, this time leaving him stunned, Sasha used this opportunity to finish what's left of her homework, thanks to the hint Charlie gave her, she finished it in record time.

Charlie waited patiently on the foot of her bed, without warning Sasha brought him in a deep kiss, catching him completely off guard. She breaks their kiss and looks into his eyes, "Alright, Im completely done with my work." Charlie smiles, "Then let's go out, besides it's at least healthy to get out of your house once in awhile." Sasha looks at him, "Just promise me that there won't be some wack job trying to kill us." Charlie chuckles, "I promise." He kissed her cheek and gets up, "Now I think I should properly enter your home." Charlie grins and jumps out the window, Sasha's immediate thought was "Wait, My room is on the second floor, how did he-" she heard the doorbell ring, "That was fast." She thought, jumping from her bed and rushes out her door. She caught the door seconds before her dad could even touch the knob, "I got it dad." She gives her dad an innocent smile and answers the door, true to his word; Charlie was at the front door. Sasha's father gave a slight grunt and walked casually back to the living room.

Sasha kisses Charlie's nose and directs him to the living room, her dad plopped on the sofa watching a really old TV movie, "Daddy, May I go to the park with Charlie?" She asks in her 'Cute' voice. Her father gave another grunt, only it was more noticeable "Yea, Yea sure just be sure to be home around 6:30." Sasha looked at the clock; it was already 6:30. She rolls her eyes. "Dad, be reasonable it's already 6:30." Sasha's dad gave a slight growl, "Very well, 8:30 and no later, understand young lady?" his voice was authoritive, but fair. "Thank You Daddy." She kisses his cheek, there was a small growl from him, but she paid no attention to it, her dad was still suspicious about Charlie, thinking he might impregnate her. Thankfully, she knew better, Charlie was the ultimate gentleman…and boyfriend.

Sasha grabbed his paw and opened the front door and they were off.

They arrived at the park around 15 minutes later, Sasha breathed in the pure air around her, thanking god of creating this beautiful scenery, and thanking him for bringing her and Charlie together. Charlie took her paw and guided her to the shade of a large tree; He lies on his back, feeling the cool grass against his fur. Sasha lies down next to him; her head on his chest, his heart beat was calm and melody to behold, the unusual warmth of his fur brought shivers down her spine.

Charlie kissed her forehead, enjoying the beauty of the girl next to him and the tranquility of the park:

Charlie:

Staring out at the rain, with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky

It's all right I survived I'm alive again
Cause of you made it through every storm
What is life what's the use if you're killing time

I'm so glad I found an angel, somewhere
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl (you live) my world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live, there's a reason why, I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help(when no one else can help)
Because you live girl, my world(my world) has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl,(cause you live) my world has everything I need to survive,

Because you live, I live
I live

Sasha looks up at Charlie, his eyes brought immense warmth and love within her heart, she grew more in love with him then the first time they've met. She closes her eyes and snuggles up to him hearing his heart gently beating in his rib cage, Charlie's deep voice broke the silence, "It's getting rather late…" his voice was full of sorrow, Sasha knew instantly that he doesn't want to leave her side…and neither does she.

Charlie lifted both her and himself up, Sasha in his arms; she lays her head against his chest, his heart still beating softly against his rib cage. Charlie walked slow, to not let the moments he have with Sasha end, holding her close to his chest, his ears perked, hearing a rustle in the bush. Charlie held Sasha even closer than it was possible, his teeth gritted as he realized what was behind the bush…

Two Doberman jumped right out of the bush, Charlie swiftly dodged them, until something whizzed past his face and ricochet off the statue behind them. They were armed. Charlie's heart began to pump fast; he had to get Sasha out of this park, unscathed. There was a malevolent laugh behind the bush, the two Doberman were on both sides of his possible exits. A third Doberman accompanied a large Rottweiler, the same that attacked them a few months ago; there were scars all around his body from his last encounter with Charlie.

Charlie looked at his arms, Sasha was absent from them, He started to furiously look around; none of them seemed to have seen her. "Sasha, Run as far as you can and don't look back." He thought. Then he heard two 'dings' behind him, and looked behind him, Sasha had bludgeoned the two Doberman blocking the exit with a lead pipe, beating them into unconsciousness, "RUN!" she yells at him, Charlie took the chance and ran, The Rottweiler began shooting at him each bullet whizzing passed him, everything was going in slow motion.

Sasha ran to the outside of the park, Charlie caught the blurred sight of a bullet whizzing past him only this one was aimed at her.

"That Snake!!" Charlie eyes flashed, his legs felt faster then ever, he dived past the bullet and used his body to shield Sasha, Sasha stopped and turned back to see Charlie take the bullet, "CHARLIE!!" she screamed, but Charlie's face was telling a different story, he was still waiting for the bullet to come…but it never did.

Charlie looked behind him, and there it was, the very bullet aimed to kill Sasha was nothing but fragments. The thugs were spellbound as well as Sasha, Charlie turned and in a bright flash, Charlie's back sprouted wings, wings worthy of an Angel. The Leader dropped his gun and his mouth was a gapped, Sasha etched ever inch of Charlie's wings, she felt as if she would faint but her mind kept her standing. Charlie smirked, his eyes drinking in the almost hysterical faces of there attackers.

Sasha mind finally gave in to the sight and collapsed onto the hard concrete, Charlie looked back at her for a brief second, The Rottweiler broke his daze, and he quickly grabbed his gun and fired what was left of the magazine at Charlie's way.

Charlie's ears perked, hearing the bullets heading his way. He brought his right wing to defend him from the barrage of bullets, each one deflected right back at the attackers, The Rottweiler ducked for his life as his men took each bullet, There blood pooled around them, each puddle mixing in with the other. The Rottweiler emerged from a bush; he dropped his gun in horror as he sees his men, dead. He picked up the gun and in rage ran straight for Charlie and threw his gun at him, Charlie was able to easily dodge the gun but was football tackled by the Rottweiler. Charlie's left wing knocked him off him, just before he could retaliate; Charlie lifted the Rottweiler from the scruff of his neck and threw him into the fountain, Charlie took the chance and immediately took flight, taking Sasha's still unconscious body up with him.

Sasha stirred in his arms, "Charlie?" she says, groggy. "Shhh, go back to sleep, everything is going to be fine, just don't look down." He says, but too late Sasha looked down to see that she was gliding through the clouds, or it was Charlie who was doing the gliding. She wrapped her arms around his neck, yelping in the process, her eyes closed tight, Charlie smiled "You looked down didn't you?" Sasha gave a quick nod; Charlie kissed her forehead, "What am I going to do with you." He chuckles jokingly.

Charlie:

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
tell me, princess, now when did
you last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

Sasha opened her eyes, the cold wind whipped her face, she looks up at Charlie, in the moonlight he truly did had the features of an Angel…

Sasha:

A whole new world
a dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
it's crystal clear
that now I'm in a whole new world with you

Charlie:

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Sasha:

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
through an endless diamond sky

Sasha (Charlie):


A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)

A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath - it gets better)

Sasha:

I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

Charlie (Sasha):

A whole new world (Every turn a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue (Every moment red-letter)

Both:


I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

Charlie (Sasha):

A whole new world (A whole new world)

That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)

Charlie:

A thrilling chase

Sasha:

A wondrous place

Both:

For you and me

Sasha kissed the bottom of Charlie's chin and laid her head onto his chest, hearing the familiar melody of his heartbeat, pumping in his rib cage like a symphony orchestra, the night may have been ruined, but this moment of her life she will always remember.

Charlie glided across the sky for a brief moment until he dived down; her heart began to beat furiously as he landed at her front porch. He let Sasha down, her legs was shaking "this could take some getting use to." She thought, her paw touched the door knob but her dad had already answered, "You're late." He said. There was a smug grin painted on his face. Sasha quickly looked at Charlie, his wings had disappeared. She drew a quick breath of relief; her father hadn't seen Charlie swoop in, "I'll talk to you later." says Sasha giving him a hug. "Meet me in my room…we need to talk." she whispered in his ear and let go of him; Charlie made a quick nod and looked at her father. "Mr. La Fleur." He also gave him a quick nod and walked off the porch without a look back, Sasha hurried inside, but a firm paw was on her shoulder. "What's the rush? How was the date?" Sasha rolled her eyes in annoyance, "It was fine, nothing happened so get your mind out of the gutter dad." Sasha looks at her father with a serious face. "Charlie is a great boyfriend and he's a gentleman to boot, he would never force me into anything that was against my wishes." Her dad rolled his eyes and let go of her shoulder, "Fair enough, go to bed, your mother and I are going out and we don't want you to have him over." He stressed the "him" as if it were an evil object.

Sasha scoffed, "Alright…have fun." She attempted to make her voice sound content, but on the inside she hated how her dad treated Charlie like he was some street punk, her mom had absolutely no problem with Charlie and wouldn't even mind him even having at least dinner with them. She reached her room and as she wished, Charlie laid upon her bed, paws behind his head. Sasha closed the door behind her, Charlie eyes met hers. Sasha climbed into her bed and lays her head on his chest; she snuggled with him breathing in his scent. Charlie wrapped his arms around her protectively and kissed her forehead. Sasha's head was spinning the sudden attack, Charlie suddenly sprouting wings, the flight, everything. Charlie looked away from Sasha; his mind was deep in thought, trying to figure out how to talk to her.

"Charlie?" Sasha's voice broke his daze. "I… I don't even know how to actually ask you but…the wings…where did they come from?" Charlie took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully "Sasha… I've been keeping this secret from you for awhile because I was afraid of how you'd accept me, I…Im an Angel." Sasha looks up at him, it explains everything, how Charlie was able to recover from his fight so fast, how Charlie kept getting into her house without anyone seeing him, how he always seemed to know where she is all the time.

"You're an Angel?" was all she could muster; she was blown out of her mind. "I was afraid of how you take it…" Charlie says, he let's go of her and gets up, Sasha lifted her head from her bed and ran off to block his path to her open window. Charlie looked at her in confusion, "You don't want me to leave? But Im pretty much a-" Sasha placed a paw on his lips, "Charlie I could care less if you were an Angel or any other supernatural being, Im only happy that you're here with me right at this moment, I don't care if you're an Angel, that just gives me all the more reason to love you…" Charlie's eyes started to water, as did Sasha's. He embraced her pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss; Sasha broke the kiss for a brief moment, "I Love You Charlie Barkin." She says, Charlie smiled his eyes shining in the moonlight, "I Love you too Sasha… Now and forever." They two canines' muzzle connected for another passionate kiss, they kept each other in a tight embrace, afraid the other would vanish if they'd let go.

There kiss became a bond that tied them together, unifying there souls… as well as there hearts.

(Phew, Don't worry there's still more, but in the next chapters Im going to concentrate on the other characters)
