Chapter 14: Starting to See...

You smiled awkwardly at Charlie and Vaggie. "Is there a place for us to talk in private? I would like to fill you guys in on all that has happened, so you are not left in the dark." you said with your arms spread out in a shrug, your wings flaring out a bit with nervous energy.

You saw Vaggie smile from behind Charlie, who in turn cocked her head at you, smiling sweetly and squealing in excitement "I know! Let's go to my room! It's a bit a ways from here, but it's more private than anywhere else I know!" She said with a ever growing smile.

You saw Vaggie chuckle and nod her head in agreement to Charlie's plan. "Lead the way!" you said, gesturing with your hand in the direction you thought was the exit to the Library or at least you thought it was in that general direction...

You heard a half audible chuckle from Bastian that he covered up by coughing. This made you turn sharply and glare at him, quirking an eyebrow in his general direction. He seemed to choose to ignore you.

You heard a soothing voice, but didn't understand his words. Though you felt comforted, nevertheless "Welcome little one, to your new home. You are a miracle." he said boobing your nose. You cooed and grabbed at his long black hair with your little hands. You remember seeing a bright smile, the memory fading...

A new memory emerged. You were laughing and twirling in you black long gown with your arms spread out in glee, you were finally going to get out of the castle. You remember the overwhelming feeling of excitement and freedom at the thought. Of Bastian yelling after you not to trip and to act more like a lady. The frustration on his face...
