The next morning was hell. The blonde who I had learned was named Len, is still guarding me. He's taking night, early morning, and afternoon shifts. He only gets breaks to eat and sleep after 5 in the morning. He comes back at two pm. The other guard doesn't bother me as long I don't talk. I sighed and looked at the right top corner of the cell. I don't know why I picked that corner, I just did.I held my nees and felt my back. The girl with wings. That's what he called me. But why? I've only ever met him once. I smiled, thinking of him. His kind blue eyes. You could get lost in them...
"No!" I shook my head. That's almost worse than falling for the guy you have to kill. Nope. I can't fall in love. Noooooo way. Besides, I'm under a lock and key, no one can get in to this bad ass heart!
"What are you doing?!" The guard yelled at me. I looked down at him. This one was too skinny and I could probably take down if he put my cage on the ground. He had Blue hair and what looked like dark colored dirt on his white uniform. I decided I wouldn't waste my breath. I laid down, smiled at my corner and closed my eyes. May as well try and sleep.
Two people ran though the woods. Both of them blonde and wearing white cloths with black trim. Each had a pair of black headphones. the boy had his hair in a pony tail, the girl with her's down and four hair clips. Every ten minutes the two slowed down and looked behind them. They smiled at each other when the stopped and saw no one. "Rin. Come on, it's safe here." The boy said. The girl grew unease but agreed.
"Fine. But only on account of we're alone." Soon a yellow light seemed to grow onto the Rin's back. She closed her eyes and breathed in as the became circular wings. She opened her eyes and started to fly. The boy soon followed, his wings also yellow. The couple held hands and started flying together To what, they had no idea. But they did know that they were happy and they were free. But then, the boy fell. He fell inside of the forest, and Rin flew down to go and find him. She soon found him bloodied on the ground. His wings were torn and his side was cut right though to the other end.
"No! Please no!" Tears streamed down her face and her wings faltered. She sat by him and held him. The boy smiled and lifted his hand to her face. She held it.
"Shhh...it's okay. Let me become part of the earth. I love you, Rin, I will see you when you become part of this earth too." She smiled so that he would be happy. he rubbed her face until his arm dropped and his eyes become glossy with lack of life. She cried and he slowly faded away into nothing more than dust. All she could do was cry. she dropped her smile for the last few moments.
I woke up with tears in my own eyes. I don't understand why though. I sat up.
"Good morning, Sleeping beauty." I heard Len's voice. Oh boy, he's here. I gave him one more good look. He was wearing a cosplay I could tell this time. He was wearing Link's costume from Legend of Zelda. He looked up at my cage. "Still a bird I see." His voice full of life and joy.
"Still an idiot I see." I countered sarcastically. "What's with the costume?"
"I figured since you're the caged bird. I get to be the hunter that keeps you caged."
"Wow, what great logic." I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my arms.
"Don't blame me! I'm just a hopeless nerd that wants have fun at his job." He made a little pout face. Lip half showing and everything. He was adorable.
"Do you even get paid? She is your mom right?" I uncrossed my arms and put them at my sides, while he put his hands on the back of his head and smiled.
"Nope. But it's still a job." He blushed and looked down at the floor.
I chuckled at him, "That's not a job. A job you get paid for."
"And what's your job little miss?" He put an empathizes on 'little miss'.
"For one, I'm not little. For another my job is what ever the client needs. The client needs me to kill some one, I kill them. The client needs a spy, I come a spy. I'm not a silly guard that likes to dress up." The room grew silent. I wanted to look at his face, but he was still looking down so I couldn't see his face. I felt a sense of sympathy for him. I know it's silly, your not supposed to feel sympathy for the one keeping you in a cage but it's not really his fault. I was the one that got caught by his mom and now he's just his mother's little puppet.
"Well at least my job involves looking at you. It's a shame you got caught, Little bird." I literally just felt my heart melt. I felt my face get warm but then I shook my head trying to get it off. Get it together, Rin. You're not going to fall for him.
"I am not little. Get that though your thick head!"
""Nope. You're my Little bird."
"What make you think I'm your's?"
"Well you are trapped in my cage. I think that accounts for something." He does have a point. After I moment of silence and I looked away from him for a minute, then he's gone.
"Len?" No answer. "Len?!" Then I felt my cage lower, and heard the chains rumble. Soon I heard and felt the thud that indicated I was on the ground. I looked around me, I saw Len smirking by the control panel.
"Aww did the Little bird worry?"
'No, I just needed to keep tabs on you. You are a guard after all. If you left, when would I eat?" I tried to make my voice sound like I was indifferent about it. "So why did you lower my cage?"
