Hiding behind lies

[Night and Akito]

I had just arrived in the mall parking lot and got out of the car and got the big box of 'goodies' for work a big box of 'goodies' that if spilled would be very bad for me and even worst for my job!

I entered the mall and was headed for the new fancy-smancy restaurant Moonlight Rose i had to go past a few stores to get to the place but nothing like a good walk. or so i thought. i had to go past what looks like no-good-punk-wanna-bes, but were actually bored-looking-for-trouble-in-the-current-form-of-trying-to-make-my-life-hell-punk-asses. "Hey what's in the box babe?" on of the arrogant asses asked. "Nothing of stealing or vandalizing value. so if you'll move i need to be somewhere." "what's the rush?" another questioned as he was reaching for the box.

Ugh, why was flying so irresistible? Every current that swept under her wings and brushed lightly against her feathers, that slight breeze that pulled at her hair lightly and bringing her higher then any plane; only falcons flew this high and the thrill of seeing some made Doll, shifter her wings slightly to swoop around them and cast an eye. She sent out a call from her lips inviting them in ‘come and fly with me!’ she roared above the winds in Eagle tongue and one turned away from the others and eyes her. Its beautiful golden eyes reflected her own and with a tilt of its wings, swooped to join her. The eagles wings brushed against her own in a welcome and a smile crept over her pale features the strong bird asked ‘you seem unnatural little one, you are not yet grown. Where you come from what is your calling?’ angling her wings to the side she swooped sideways gracefully and watched the big bird before answering softly ‘I am but a mask wise one, they call me Doll. You have wisdom in your reach what have you seen?’ Doll hadn’t talked to many birds; they were mostly scanty and scared of her mass size. Budgies were funny, they talked mostly babble but it was all fun.

Doll watched the big bird turn lightly and move as a ballerina in the air, its long pure movements made her look like a klutz in the air ‘much, but none of your kind, are you of a new species?’ Doll laughed lightly as the sound broke the swift course sound of the air whistling past her ears, she took a glance down; they were heading over and past the bush lands and the city were appearing in her vision, her gaze clouded over. Maybe they would welcome her there; she hadn’t seen her trackers for two weeks so maybe it was time for her to take nest again; she snapped back to the present the Eagle was enjoying the silence but she could tell he wanted an answer ‘yeah I guess I am, but one of a kind mostly’ Doll found herself laughing again, it was easy to be around animals, they understood her. And they could never betray her. No one knew her like they did, except for Shadow, he knew her quite well.

A thermal wafted under her grey wings she let her muscles tighten as a reflex and it lifted her higher then the falcon in an arc, the city lights were very clear and the eagle said ‘I must return, but promise me little one, promise that you will stay away from dogs, I can see the fear and the scent you have of them, just be careful’ Doll saluted him lightly and he turned to start heading back, tightening her muscles she pulled back and stopped mid flight she had to constantly strain her wings to keep aloft but turning around she called ‘I was so caught up! I didn’t ask you your name!’ the bird without turning around shouted back “Manibrook’ Doll laughed lightly at herself ‘Manibrook’ meant freedom and heights, something very common among the bird culture, it is spoken that only powerful souls. Ah she thought, maybe there was the next leader of state in her mists.

Doll flexed her wings and let them drop behind her; the building protected her from sight so she quickly tucked her hot wings away. She felt flustered from the exercise and with a glance she noticed some shops or more a mall, pulling her hoddie over her head she wandered through the streets with her head down. The sounds of critters were murmuring softly but not as aloud as they were before. The people were more annoying, the sirens and the constant wailing of children. Some mindless chatter about how their day was, walking through the door Doll pulled her hood down and let her coffee brown hair fall around her shoulders. She hadn’t bothered with it lately so it was kinked from the rain and if some looked close enough they would find a few leaves and twigs.

Walking slowly and looking at the blazing lights that flashed some signs and others just florescent that buzzed slightly. A voice caught her attention, a dark human was annoying a girl, she looked around her age. Walking swiftly through the crowds she kept her head down and she came up behind the girl, lightly she grabbed the boys hands and with a thrust of her foot she slammed down on his and pushed him against the wall ‘She asked you to get lost’ her voice grave and her eyes were daring him to argue with her, she was angry; mindlessly angry at why he had the right to hurt this poor girl. Her hair fell around her face like a halo and her grey eyes burned with fury as she waited for him to answer.

The boys must've got it cuz the people around were starting to get closer looks and forming a rather large and increasing audience.

Sercurity showed up and started to break up what was going on and the guys slipped away before getting caught but they must be thinking revenge next time.

"Umm thanks. I'm very grateful and um..." i looked at teh nearest clock and damn near went pale. well paler than my normal skin color. "...kuso! Aa, mo osoi! Hontoni gomen!" i bowed my head as much as i could with the big box in my hands and started to head off to work.

She felt her hand tighten around his wrist, her blood was burning with anger. Her eyes blazed at him, she had to resist the urge to cut his circulation off, the mummers of humans behind her were growing. She felt her fingernails digging into his soft human flesh, she could break his wrist. Maybe as a frequent reminder not to mess with woman. Their treatment to woman was something to be spit upon, she was treated better by some of the scientists in the lab them some woman were treated by their 'loved' ones. Humans gathered around and she let go of his hand, he grasped it lightly but went away. Turning her head sharply when the security went past and pulling her hood back up, she couldn't be too careful, these people all could be against her, they could all kill her if they remembered her from any wanted posters, she was as dead as soon as she was in the police office.

The humans left and the security wandered back to their posts, she looked out from under her hood to the girl and offered her hands 'I can help if you want, I have some time' Doll pulled her wings tighter against her back encase anyone looked at her strangely, she kept her eyes on the crowds. She noticed the girl was walking off, she followed silently, her steps quieter then a shadow. She had to be silent in the wild, live or be eaten. Her hair fell around her face as she followed the girl, not in a stalking way.

Doll lengthened her stride to keep up with the girl 'Are you okay, don't worry those guys are kidding themselves, you don't rally have to rush off do you?' truth be told Doll haddn't talked to a human in what felt like so long, animals were brilliant. But humans had that natural feeling about them that made you feel wanted, Flexing her fingers inside her pockets and letting her muscles relaxed and the strain on them was weakened lightly, would she ever answer?

"I'm late but if you do mind helping i would be eternally grateful!" i handed her on of the boxes on top of the big box and started walking

...Night couldn't help but feel like a lot of weight being lifted off her if this kind girl would help... (ha ha get it?)
