Nova gazed at the moon as the other Brightwing newborns flew past, chattering excitedly about things that, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t get excited about. Not after she’d heard about Shade Silverwing. Now that was an honorable bat! He fought the cannibal bats, saved the sun, and sacrificed himself to save his son from dying in the Underworld. Now that was what Nova wanted to do. All that was exciting around here was the freaky bug Venus had seen last night. No; compared to Silverwings, Brightwings were as boring as toadstools! Well, most Brightwings. After all, Marina Brightwing, Shade’s mate, had been on most of his adventures too.
But, again, she’d been different. She’d been banded, and was outcast by her colony. All because of a stupid piece of metal, Nova scoffed. A stupid piece of metal, with which the elders of some colonies wove a tale of Nocturna’s Promise. Okay, so Nocturna’s Promise wasn’t a lie, but the fact that humans would help had been. According to the elders, the humans were some kind of saints, supposed to deliver them into sunlight. But, it was wrong of the elders. The humans had turned out to be traitors. And, Shade had solved the prophecy. Although, not as had been expected.
Apparently, where the Silverwings lived, nothing was to be expected. And that, thought Nova, inwardly sighing, was how she wished things could be. Sometimes, she just wanted to fly away from it all, the doddering old fools who called themselves elders, the fussy bats who watched over her, grooming her, teaching her, ever since her parents-. Nova choked on the familiar lump that had returned to her throat. Ever since they died at the hands of humans, she thought bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes. But she wiped them away. This was no time to cry. If she was ever to survive on her own, she couldn’t break down sobbing every time she thought of her parents. But maybe, she wouldn’t have to go alone.
Apollo landed beside her.
“What’s up?” He asked.
Nova raised her eyebrows. Here, the most popular newborn in the colony, was talking to her, the outcast. She hated hanging out with anyone, and here he was, invading her privacy.
“What do you care?” She spat.
Apollo’s eyes widened. “You looked sad.” He muttered.
“Whether I’m sad or not, it’s none of your business.” Nova glared.
She had expected Apollo to snap back, or start whining. But he did neither.
“If you want to be left alone, I understand. It helps me to be with other people, but I guess you wouldn’t like it. I was looking for a place to be alone, but you looked so miserable…” He trailed off.
When Nova said nothing, he flexed his wings and prepared to light from the branch.
“Wait!” cried Nova, surprising herself.
Apollo turned to her, looking just as shocked as she felt.
“If…if you must know,” She began, “I was thinking of my parents, and how they were taken by the humans. We were hunting outside a human building for a few minutes, and I heard a sound…and they were in a net…I managed to get away, but…I saw them loaded into a truck and taken away.” She sniffled, feeling stupid for revealing so much of herself to someone she barely knew.
Apollo moved in closer to her.
“But that isn’t all.” She wiped her streaming eyes. “If I were more…heroic, I could’ve taken those humans down and…” She growled in frustration. “Oh, I just don’t know, but I’d do something!” She looked at her feet. “Sometimes, I think if I could just fly away, it would make it all better. But I don’t have the guts to do it. Well, not on my own, anyway.”
She hadn’t meant it as an invitation. But Apollo surely thought she had.
His eyes flashed with a spark like two pieces of flint scraping together. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for someone to say that. I’ve been waiting forever for somebody to say: ‘I want to get out of this place.’ And now, you’ve said it. So you’re coming with me, right?” The fire in his eyes shone brighter than the moon. “On an adventure? We’ll leave first thing tomorrow night, before anyone wakes up.”
And despite the fact that her stomach was in knots, her head was spinning, and her toes sweaty from gripping the bark so hard, she found herself grinning broadly and whispering, “You’re on.”
If you get something else, go for it =D Cause this sucked xD
