As she touch down in new York, Star listened for any sounds or noise. But upon not hearing anything she thought, *Ok, what is this? New York is the city that never sleeps, but here it is so quiet.* Star walked down the alleyway in which she landed. Walking slowly as not to draw attention, she walks toward the light when she heard a rustle. Star whipped around to look at an area of the alley. Suddenly a blond haired twelve-year-old girl came at her with a hammer in her left hand, and her right-hand, twisted at an odd angle. Only Star's past skills kept her from being brained.
"Woah killer. I am not a threat. Can you please not brain me?"
The girl stopped and looked at me quizzically and put down her hammer. Then she brought out a simple gray spiral notebook and a mechanical pencil. She then flipped to a spare page at started to write.
"I'm sorry. I thought that you were someone else. What is your name?"
"My name is Star. I am sorry for scaring you. If you don't mind me asking who did you, think I was?" Star replied. When she saw the girl's scared look and her hand shot to her throat. Star started to panic. "You don't have to answer. If you're running from something, then it is not my place to ask." Her hands went to a calming manner. Her sea green eyes widened. The girl sighed she looked at her with startling stormy gray eyes. They held pain and sorrow with a huge dose of fear. She then started to write slowly and uncertainty.
"I thought that you were my father. He promised me if I ever run away he'll… follow … me… and kill me. He nearly did, last night he… broke my arm … and somehow cut... my… vocal cords. Star … you're not … going… to hurt me … right?" She finished writing her bright gray eyes stared at me. She looked so much like Angel that part of my brain made a promise never to let the waste of human breath she called her father or anyone else hurt her again.
"little one I'll never let anyone or anything hurt you again. How about we go over there in the light so that I can set your arm. It won't hurt afterward. What is your name so that I can call you something?" Star held out her hand for the young girl to hold.
"My name is Amanda. Thank you, Star."Amanda wrote then got up and grabbed her hand. Slowly Star led the two of them to the lamp that she knew was there.
"Here." Star put down her bags, and helped Amanda sit down. She then dug through her own bag to find some medical supplies. *damn I'll have to get more supplies soon. Expect if I am going to take care of Amanda and her broken arm. This sucks. I only have enough for two days, and that's if I don't get attacked and water doesn't heal the wound fast enough.* Star looked at the mute blond. *Hmm maybe I can try to heal her as I heal myself. That would help with the pain and cut down the healing time. I do have enough water to do that, but how much energy will that take. Will I have enough? I should. She needs that arm fixed today, or it will grow wrong and be every bit as painful as a bullet wound.* Star set the supplies next to the place where she first took off oh so long ago. " Amanda sit here so that I take care of your broken wrist. I will not lie to you, this will hurt a lot, but it is better that letting set on its own. Because that would be very painful. Even worse than setting it, Ok," Amanda nodded. Star gently took her broken arm in her hands, and pushed down on the arm, letting it slide into place. Then Star poured some water in her hands and told the water to heal. It started to glow (like Katara when she heals) Star could see the swelling go down a little. She then took away the water and applied the bandages. Star looked her new friend. Tears were flowing freely down her face, a look of pain and sadness written on.
"I'm sorry for that. I never meant to hurt you that much. Are there any other places where you are injured. I can heal it with water so that it won't hurt you anymore." The fog past from her eyes. She nodded. "Ok, I'll just put water on your chest and spread through the body." Amanda nodded again. After Star had healed her, she looked at the rest of her body. Star saw the cut that made her mute; sadly she knew the size of the blade and the damage it caused. It was a surgical blade with a very rusted edge. Star knew that it would take a long time for it to heal and her vocal cords will never grow back without some medical help. Her hair was a golden blond caked with dirt and grime. Amanda laid down on my lap shocked Star asked
"How can you trust me? I am a complete stranger." Amanda did a small smile, she wrote before passing out from exhaustion.
"I felt like I can trust you. I don't know why I just could."
Star watch over the sleeping blond in my lap thinking *Wow. I've changed in the past year and a half. I'm no longer the scared shielded girl forced into the life on the outside; but can I do it? Can I take care of an abuse victim? I'm feeling scared and worried, I already have the monsters hunting me down, they could kill her, and I can't lose any more friends. I have already lost plenti; My flock, pyro boy, and many others. I don't want to lose another.* Star then took her eyes off of the sleeping blond and looked up at the sky. She saw the big dipper and the newest one that looked like a huntress, sort of. *Funny that constellation didn't appear until a few days after left the flock,* (She left a moment after Bianca died :'(-). She thought whoever it was; They must have been lucky to get such of an ending; and that is how she stayed until dawn came, staring at the stars and the little girl she swore to protect with her life.
