The cold air burned my throat it felt like I really couldn’t speak if I tried; but I had lost so much blood my body actually felt warm. I guess mild hypothermia does things like that. I thought listening to the voices around me in a daze. I felt something pour into my mouth; I gagged on the bitter taste. It was like drinking vinegar. I opened my eyes to see an unfamiliar face watching me; I jumped a little in shock. Before I could say anything a man with sandy blond hair dragged him away. m‘kay that’s not weird.
I looked up as Shadow jogged past them. He didn’t say anything at first but held out his hand. I couldn’t help but smile a little and grab it; he pulled me to my feet. I wobbled a little unsteadily as I tried to find my footing in the uneven snow.
“Careful.” He smirked.
I gave him a smart look but my face felt a little hot. “I’m fine, no need for alarm.” I laughed hoarsely, ouch. I rubbed my throat.
His face softened like every worry he had was washed away and he had finally breathed easy. I was little saddened to think he had burdened himself so much. I guess things would be different from now on.
“I’m glad,” He breathed with an audible sigh. “When I saw you there I thought…” His eyes got dark again. I got flustered; I didn’t want him to worry about what happened, only the here and now. I had spent a good chunk of my life caught in the past it only destroys the present.
Without warning, I slapped my hands on the sides of his face. He looked down at me shocked. I sighed, I just had to fall for someone a half foot taller than me didn’t I?
“I’m tougher than you think.” I grinned my prettiest smile through the beaten and black bruises.

I had migrated to sitting atop her shoulder as Ghosti trotted along behind the group; it was full of odd faces and I barely knew a single soul. We approached a hotel in the northern sector of the city. It was nostalgic and the feeling of it all made me want to fly to the heavens and never look down. But as my utter soreness recalled I had lost by bet.
I may be a poor loser but I’m still enough of a gentleman to honor a deal. So we’ll see where this mad adventure takes me.
“So what do we do from here?” Ghosti asked, as if she read my thoughts, glancing at me out of the corner of her eye grabbing my attention.
I cocked my head; pointing my beak toward the horizon. “Do you see how the most distant part of the sky is always the clearest?”
“Yes…” She said carefully not sure where I was going.
“Well let’s strive for it.” I cawed with confidence.
She sighed. “Do you always have to speak in metaphors?”
“I do not see a single thing wrong with that.” I turned my head up. It wasn’t even a metaphor.
“Whatever let’s just go.” She said as we entered into the grand lobby of the old hotel. Each of us were given room numbers and retired to them.
