Chapter 55

P.O.V Change (An Hour Before)

Stork jolted awake as a loud bang rang through his small room. He yelled when the back of his head bounced off the wall. He'd been dreaming peacefully, about his beloved Condor, but this time Blinx had been there and he'd been teaching her how to fly his ship.
As if he'd ever let that happen and he definitely wouldn't be wound around her the way he had been.

He allowed his eyes to scan the room and saw that said girl was gone. It disappointed him mildly to see that she had left. She'd actually been good company. Maybe that was why he'd been dreaming of her.
Figuring that he wasn't going to get back to sleep anytime soon, he decided to get up and get ready for the day.
As he pulled a fresh shirt over his head, someone knocked at his door, he groaned in annoyance and made his way over to open the door.
Piper was waiting on the other side.

"I didn't wake you, did I?" she asked politely.
Her polite question made him gesture to himself with intended sarcasm "Obviously not"

"Good. You wouldn't happen to know where Blinx was running off to, would you? She was in a real hurry from what I saw" the dark-skinned girl informed.

"Didn't even know she was gone" the Merb lied. He couldn't allow for any suspicion on anyone else's part. He hoped it wasn't something he'd done.

"Maybe we should tell Aerrow" he suggested.

Piper waved him off "I'm sure it's nothing, she'll be back in no time. Besides, Radarr was hanging off her leg when I saw her"

"Then maybe she's doing something for Aerrow" Stork replied with a shrug.

"You're probably right" Piper said as she began to jog away from him.

He shrugged it all off, but was worried by the prickling sensation that had begun to tickle the back of his neck.

He would feel it again in fifteen minutes time when unbeknownst to him, Blinx would keel over in unconsciousness.

"So, what do you know about me?"

"I know everything"

"So, what can you tell me?"

"Nothing, you are to figure it all out for yourself"

Blinx scowled at the smirking Oracle "Then what was the point of finding you?"
