"Relax, I've Got You.", chapter 3
Kirsten looked at Songbird and said, "Aren't you supposed to be training Falkor and Lancealot today?"
Songbird covered his forehead with her hands, "I almost forgot! Thank you Kirsty, you're my absolute savior!" Kirsten nodded and watched Songbird take off to her job.
"Um.. Songbird, you need a lift?" Billie Joe asked her. She nodded and they took off to Songbird's house.
Songbird hopped out the car and ran into her house. "Kirsten, let the boys come inside, just don't let them break anything." Kirsten nodded and sat with the boys and talked with them... about Jack.
"He really did that?" Mike asked. Kirsten nodded and told them about the other one, who was... a guy.
"That must tear your heart out to find out your ex is like... a homo," Tre' said.
Kirsten nodded and said, "She thinks it's because of her that made him like that, now she's hated herself for like a month because of it."
Songbird came out with wet hair that looked almost black because of the water and her uniform with was a dark red polo shirt and jeans. On the shirt it said "World Bird Sanctuary," and it had the outline of a sparrow on the back.
"You work with birds?" Billie Joe asked.
Songbird gave him a sarcastic glare, "No, I just love wearing this shirt everyday while I go to work." She scoffed and rolled her eyes and got her keys for her transportation. The boys walked outside to a site of Songbird in her car, a Sunfire with her windows down, blaring the radio. She turned it down to talk to the boys, "You wanna come watch me work, you can ask Kirsty, it's interesting." The boys looked at Kirsten and she nodded in agreement. The boys then looked at each other and shrugged while running to their cars.
After 10 minutes of driving, they got into a large building that somehow, had a sweetness smell to it. People were holding birds and talking about them. One of the birds were loose and the boy seeemed to be having trouble getting it back. Songbird took instant actually, she put two fingers in her mouth and whistled. The bird, who seemed small from far away, was actually very large and came to Songbird's hand that she already covered with a glove.
"Thanks for your assistance," the boy said, a little cockily as if he did all the work himself.
"I'll take Nightfly, thank you very much since you seem to not being able to handle him, newbie," she said coldly. He started at her, cold and hard yet he thought he could charm her to being a little nicer. He tried, and failed, Songbird kept Nightfly and calmed him down before returning him to the rest of his kind.
"What kind of bird was that?" Tre' asked, watching the birds fly around the glass cage.
"Snow owl, pretty rare, and they're going to go endangered if that newbie is going to lose them," Songbird replied bitterly. She looked on either side of her and found someone, who was strangely running toward her.
"Sam!" she squealed and hugged him, "we've missed you."
"I know, but I've been sick you know, so.... how about you, it everything um, alright?" the guy said while twaddling his thumbs.
"What do you mean all right?" Mike said, joining the conversation.
Sam looked at Songbird, "You haven't told them yet?"
She shook her head and sighed. "Ok, there is another reason I'm called Songbird but you honestly don't want to know why because it's really scary and you would freak out."
"Try me," all of them said.
"Ok, you asked for it," she said heavily. She took off her jacket, reavealing only a tube top. "You ready?" she asked. The boys nodded.
Out of nowhere, two very large wings sprouted from Songbird's back and she seemed to be in pain as nails turned into talons, she stretched out her wings and shook them around so the old feathers could fall out.
"I've seen every scary movie but this is the scareist thing I've seen yet," Tre' said. Songbird drooped her wings and her head also.
"I have to go to a special school, Matthew Thomas High School is just a cover up name so people don't know who we are," she said, "even Kirsten has powers." Billie Joe looked at Kirsten and she nodded, she made a fist and out of that fist, came an eagle made out of crystal.
Billie Joe looked at Mike and Tre', and actually, laughed? "Well boys, I guess this means we need to transfer!" he yelled out. Songbird's head and wings shot up. Billie Joe was first, he entered in Songbird's mind and started to chat with her.
It's rude to read people's thoughts without permission,she said with a sly smile, knowing all of Billie Joe's tricks. Billie Joe was startled, "I've been well taught," Songbird replied. Tre' was next, first he turned into a fox, then a wolf, then a cougar, then back to Tre'.
Songbird looked at Mike, "I'm curious to see what yours is." He chuckled and fire spewed out of his hands and hit the ground but it went out, almost hitting Songbird. "Watch where you hit with your fire," Songbird screeched while raising up her wings in an angry motion. But Mike wasn't finished, out of the blue, he just disappeared then reappeared right in front of Songbird's face, then right behind Tre'.
"That's pretty cool," she simply said. "Um, guys why aren't people staring at us, Songbird I'm sorry but your wingspan isn't the smallest and I think you would notice a bird/human and people turning into wolves," Billie Joe said, worried out of his mind.
"It's ok, I have that covered," Kirsten said, "I can make it look like we're just normal teenagers talking about a movie we came out."
Billie Joe just nodded. "So is mind reading all you can do Billie?" Songbird asked.
Billie Joe shook his head and his eyes went clouded as did the sky, "Impressive, I say 'bravo' to you!" Songbird said. Billie Joe blushed and everything went back the way it was. "If you don't mind, I'm going for a stretch, this wings need some stretching, would you guys like to come?" she asked. Tre' nodded and turned into an eagle, as everyone did the usually flying techinque, all 'gifted' students could fly, no one knows why.
"So, Songbird, is turning into an angel all you can do?" Mike said.
Songbird shook her head, "I can heal animals and people just by playing the flute, make people tell the truth, but the most dangerous thing I can do is make people fall in love with each other.
"How is that dangerous?" Billie Joe asked.
"If you've ever seen it happen, you would know what she's talking about," Kirsten said to Billie Joe, "Imagine if you were forced to love someone and only love them, no one else, and that's the only thing you're concentrated on, not your family, or your friends, not even yourself, you're only concerned about that one person, and you love them so much, you stop caring for yourself and starve yourself to death, that's how dangerous it is!"
Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre' exchanged glances, did she have to put it so darkly?
"Yes, I did!" Kirsten said answering their questions in their mind, oh she's a mind reader also! Songbird was whooping, cheering, and just having the best time.
"You are my angel," Mike said while sweeping next to Songbird. She smiled and touched one of Mike's hands with her talons, his lips twitched and he turned to everyone else. "We need nicknames too! I want a nickname!" he whined.
"Ok ok, calm down, from now on, I'm Thunderbolt, I don't care what you guys call yourselves," Billie Joe said.
"Whoop! From now on I am Dragonheart," Mike said.
Songbird smiled, "Isn't that a movie?" she asked him. He nodded, "It's the best I could think of at the moment."
Kirsten and Tre' couldn't think of their nicknames so they just went where the wind took them.
"Are you seriously going to be transfering to Matthew Thomas?" Songbird asked while landing, kinda clumisly.
Mike caught her and steaded her, "Yes we're sure, I am since I met you and no one in Pinole knows anything about being one of us."
"Oh, well I better put these back," Songbird said while her talons turned back into nails and her back was wing free.
Mike smiled and hugged her, "Thank you for saving me, my angel."
Songbird covered his forehead with her hands, "I almost forgot! Thank you Kirsty, you're my absolute savior!" Kirsten nodded and watched Songbird take off to her job.
"Um.. Songbird, you need a lift?" Billie Joe asked her. She nodded and they took off to Songbird's house.
