I hold my breath not even daring to breathe as the knife presses into my skin. “What should I do first, beat you up, scar you or throw you off the tallest tree i can find.” The eagle man asks with a savage look on his face. “What about none!” A voice behind eagle man declares. Eagle man turns and as soon as the pressure on my neck weakens I twist away and stumble as far back as i can by back hitting the door. I twist the knob and run out expecting to find stairs but I look out of the door to see a wooden balcony beyond that is trees as far as i can see. I look over the balcony and feel rough hands push on my back and over the edge. I fall branches whipping at my body as i try to grab the air. I desperately grab anything i can but its just like the cliff, except now there’s no rowan to save me. I feel adrenaline rush as my instincts take over i feel a tug in my stomach and blue light flashes and I flap my new wings not fully understanding what had just happened. I look down and see flamey feathers covering my body. I’m a phoenix. But phoenix aren’t real right. I don’t care all i care about is the fact that I’m not a pancake on the ground. I flap my wings and fly back to the house in the trees I fly though the open door. Rowan is in the ground and the eagle man is over him holding a knife. I watch as he brings the knife down and even though its hopeless i rush foward and time slows Rowan and the eagle man stop moving. I stand there surprised then try to move. I move normally and my eyes widen how is this possible. i shake those thoughts out of my mind rowan needs help i owe him. I move quickly and streach out my talons to grab the knife. I fly to the window and toss it out then turn around and head back into the room. How do i make them unfreeze they wont stay this way forever right? I just need to focus i got myself into this mess i can get myself out of it. I think trying to undo what i did. I focus on what i want. I want them to speed up, no that’s not right they weren’t the ones doing this i was the only one affected, I need to slow down. As soon as those thoughts cross my mind the eagle-mans hand swipes down but without a knife it does nothing. Rowan pushes him off and punches him in the face but the eagle man doesn’t notice he is busy staring at me. Rowan notices and when he turns he starts staring too. “What are you staring at!” I try to yell but it just comes out in a squawk. “Listen they cant understand you” The cat says, “I’m Celia by the way and i can understand both humans and animals and speak in their native languages.” Celia says and I turn to see her laying on the couch calmly. “You said you didn’t know where the stone is!” The eagle man yells turning into an eagle and flying away. “Just let him stand there for a minute i need to talk to you, fly over here you’re gonna tire yourself out.” Celia says her tail twitching slightly. Now that she mentioned it it was getting tiring to keep my body from crashing to the ground. I fly to her and settle down shaking my feathers slightly. “Listen theres something i need to tell you, and you cant tell Rowan he would kill me, he thinks you dont need to know but i think you do.” She says with a sigh. “He doesnt want me to know how to turn back to a human?” I ask confused. “No!” Celia laughs, “Ill tell you how to change back but i want to tell you something first, without Rowan knowing.” I tilt my head confused, “But i thought you said that you could understand humans and animals and they can understand you?” “No no no no no. I can speak all languages, so right now he cant understand so… here goes nothing. He was dating someone. " Celia says sitting up with her tail curled neatly around her paws. “Why would i care and more importantly why would i care. Dont worry im not in love with him. She doesnt have to worry.” I say shaking my head at the silly cat. “Thats the problem.” Celia says and i look at her confused, “You were you were in love with him. And he loves you back, you guys were really close.”11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq84YSb18ov
