A bird that refuses to leave its cage

Chapter seven)

You didn't think you could have ran so fast over broken branches and muddy paths just to get to school.

But you did. And your body hates it.

Upon entering the gates, many if not all the students were rushing to get to their classes with no care in the world of who was in their way, pushing anyone who was in their path. Wings and stray feathers filled the open space as you pushed your way. Thankfully for your size and reflexes you were able to slip through the crowds and to your locker before making your way to your first class.

You sat next to Song who was sketching her way in her scrapbook, she gave you a small smile and a simple hello before handing you the work you needed to do since the professor left before you came in. You thanked Song and tucked the paper away in your bag. Now you were left with listening to other students chatter and writing of paper till your next class.

***

It was finally break time, Song somehow convinced you to join her at a secluded table to eat lunch with her. You personally don't like the attention others give to you in large crowds. But still you agreed, not wanting to offend Song as she practically gave you puppy eyes. And you being weak to everything that looked cute has ended you up where you are.

Entering the cafeteria you could already feel some eyes on you. The room became ever so slightly silent till you reached the table your friend was in. You sat yourself across from her and took out your work that was given to you while also making small talk with Song.

Soon enough that sort of peace was broken by yelling. Or more specifically, yelling towards a group of monsters.
One was a short yellow reptilian in a cute polka dot dress and yellow and white wings ever so slightly too small meaning they can't fly high or far, more likely to be used as a sort of speed boost. They coward behind a tall fish like lady who was atleast three feet taller than the yellow reptilian, she wore a black tank top and dark blue jeans, having some holes to fit her fins and gills. Her wings were a white on the inner feathers and a brown with a green tinge to it on the outside, they look extremely sleek and thick, obviously used for sharp turns and quick descending, although they don't look very great at flying low. She was yelling at the other students that were pushing at her and teasing a small ghost that she was also trying to protect.

"Go to that mountain and be the meat to satins spawn you freaks!" Said one boy pushing more at the fish lady, she growled but stayed still trying her best to not rip the boy apart.

"You waste of space and attention, you disgusting creatures should just die!" Said another lady from behind, ripping off the reptilian lady from the fish lady's protection preparing to lift off, and taking her with them.

You were quickly out your seat by instinct and without hesitation shoved the woman to one side and helping the poor shaking yellow reptilian up.

"Are you alright?" You asked.

"Y-yeah, thank y-you. I d-dont know what w-would have happened if she..." She trailed off tears pricking her eyes. Song came to your side in a rush, immediately taking your place in comforting the small dinosaur.
The fish lady was still staring off at the group though as if someone is holding her back now, you make your way to infront of her to see the little boy Frisk doing his best to hold back the group and the lady from a brawl.
The men kept making nasty remarks and attempting to either pluck the feathers off of Frisk or punch. One was successful in this and pulled out a huge chunk out of Frisks tail feathers, making them yelp loudly from the pain,one for the boys took this chance to punch the lady as she was off guard. The lady got knocked to one side revealing you, and you without hesitation punched him right back, though reeling back in pain as you just punched with your broken arm though no one noticed it thank God.
the others backed away, you noticed this and looked behind you now seeing about five new monsters joining in, out numbering the little four person group, but before they fully left they yelled: " well get you back you flightless freak!"
you brushed it off for now and turned to Frisk to aid him.
