Chapter 5
“Hey Shardloss, sup.” I said, sounding cool.“Now, you're comin with me.”
“Says who?”
“Says these lovely owls.” He said, gesturing to his Gang.
“And do they have any authority?”
“Im tired of you smart talkin me. GET ER!” Shardloss yelled. His gang unlocked their battle claws(!) and attacked me! They were coming fast, and no one seemed to be doing anything, so I waited. This was the hardest part waiting. But I waited. They were getting closer, but I just had to wait, just a little more, they were even closer now, wait wait wait, NOW! I leaped into the air and with a few flaps I made it to the ceiling. I glided quickly out of the classroom and down the winding hallways connecting the different rooms.
Where do I go? Outside? I thought as I raced down the hallways. Come on make a decision! If I turn left I’ll end up outside, but if I turn right I’ll end up near the janitors closet. Suddenly, a gear turned in my brain and a light bulb appeared above my head. I turned right and kept flying.
When I got near the closet I opened the door and jumped behind it. I heard the whistling sound of air blowing through a metal talon. I smirked. That’s right, just a little closer, now! I jumped up and slammed the door shut. I looked around and saw that I had only managed to get rid of the gang, not Shardloss.
“I’m tired of you.” He said, accenting it with a snarl. “Git! Git out ya little pile ‘o feathers! An’t no body like ya no more! Theys all know dat ya aint belivin in Glaux, so git!” I stumbled backwards and he came closer.
“Yall is just a big ol wet pooper! Racdrops on ya! NOW GIT!” He unlocked his battle claws and raked them across my face. It hurt more than a thousand insults. Yet maybe it didn’t. But it didn't matter. I didnt matter. I was no better alive than dead. I got up and stumbled away. Out into the night that was now overcast. The moon didn't exist anymore. I didnt exist anymore.
“Stupid Shardloss, you think your so cool. You think you have the power to just waltz up and take away someones life. STUPID SHARDLOSS!” I screamed into the night. As I screamed it up to the sky it began to rain and a few droplets fell into my beak.
“I dont belong anymore. Where do I go? Not home, not to school, blah! BLAH BLAH BLAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I screamed out to the world. Suddenly, it hit me! Literally! I crumpled ball of paper hit me squarely in the head. I looked into the woods and saw my other best friend, Aeron, a northern saw whet owl, flying towards me quickly.
“LEANNA! FOLLOW MEEEE!” Aeron screeched as she flew off in another direction. I got into the air and flew off the in the direction she went. What in the world is going on? I thought to myself.
