Chapter 12
Shadow POV
"Shadow we've been flying for 16 hours...Can we stop and rest" Talia complained. I sighed. My wings hand been killing me for the last hour or so. I glanced over to Talia who was being carried by Silent. She had gotten tired an hour or so ago and asked him to carry her.
"Fine. There's a town down below. We can go to a restaurant, get some food and relax for a few. Sound good Silent?" He gave a swift nod and I angled my wings. I landed in a patch of woods by the town and closed my wings. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure they had followed. They did. Silent set Talia down on the ground, before we headed into town.
We walked along the side walk Talia skipping ahead of us. I smiled. Even though everyone was still missing it brought a smile to my face seeing her so happy. Silent was walking to my left, his hand brushing past mine every few seconds.
"She's gonna find out eventually" I whispered glancing at Talia, Who had stopped skipping and looked back to make sure we were following. She saw us then kept skipping.
"So? There all gonna find out soon. We don't have to hide it" He whispered back sliding his hand in mine. Our fingers intertwined and I smiled.
"There's a restaurant up ahead to the right." I said then called "Talia! Take a right!" she didn't even look back but turned right at the street corner. It took me and Silent a few seconds to catch up to her. She was waiting outside the restaurant I had seen. She gave a huge grin when she saw us. I rolled my eyes.
" .Word." I said glaring at her. She giggled and took my other hand. We walked into the restaurant and was greeted by a women in uniform.
"Hello. Welcome to the black bear diner. Will it just be you three?" She said grabbing menus.
"Yes. Just us." I said nodding. She finally got a good look at us. See's out torn jackets, our slightly messed up hair.
"Alright...Would she like a children's menu?" I nodded. She lead us to a booth in the back of the restaurant. It was by a window. Talia sat on one side, me and Silent on the other side.
"Oh! Shadow! Look at this! They have cheese cake. I love cheese cake can I get some?" Talia begged showing me the picture of cheese cake on the menu.
"Real food first. Cake second" I said flipping threw the menu. I finally decided on Steak and closed my menu. The waitress came over.
"Hi My Name is Samantha and I'll be your waitress. What can I get you to drink?" She said looking directly at Silent. She had long red hair. Which made me hate her even more! I hate red heads. Hate. Hate. Hate.
Silent looked over at me and smirked. Stupid idiotic mind reader! Talia gave us a confused look but shook her head after seeing the waitress.
"I'll take a coke" Silent said. I wrapped my arms around his neck from behind setting my head on his shoulder.
"No Coke for you. You know how hyper it makes you" I said then looked up at the waitress. "He'll have a Water. I'll Have a sprite and so will she" I nodded and Talia who nodded eagerly. The waitress wrote down the order and left, but not before winking at Silent.
"You know I love coke! Why can't I have coke?" Silent complained after I had moved my arms from his neck.
"Because. Last time we let you have coke you wouldn't shut up!" I said sternly, "You ran around shoving ice down our shirts screaming 'The ban hammer has spoken!' You were insane"
"Oh yeah! I remember that!" Talia said giggling. "You were annoying"
"Point taken. Water will be fine" He said as the waitress came back setting our drinks down.
"Are you ready to order?" She asked. Silent and I nodded. I looked over at Talia.
"Talia? You ready to order?" She looked up from the menu she had been coloring.
"Oh. Yeah! I'm ready to order Sh- Mom" She bit her lip giving me a look that meant she was sorry. Silent gave a grin and I elbowed him.
"I'll have the prime rib, Side of Potato's and corn. Extra gravy" Silent ordered shutting his menu. The waitress looked skeptical, but wrote it down.
"I'll take the road house steak medium rare. With Potato's and green beans" I ordered shutting my menu. She wrote it down and turned to Talia.
"Um. I want the Chicken finger meal. How many chicken tender's are in that?" Talia asked.
"Four I believe" The waitress said.
"OK. Can I have two orders of that? Two orders of fries and BBQ sauce...Please" I smiled. The waitress stopped writing and looked at her.
"Two orders? Just for yourself?" Talia nodded eagerly.
"Alright. I'll be back with your orders" She said giving us one last look before walking off.
