Electric Wings

Chapter 7

AN: I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while; things have been hectic for me! So without further ado!

My mom leaped up and shoved me behind her. She yelled out, "Who is it?"

"Um, it's Day Ward. I need to talk to Electra please." A low, husky voice rumbled through the door.

My heart rate shot up and my hands got clammy. What if he was going to yell at me more? You know what? I will not be treated like that! I will give him a price of my mind if it comes down to that!

Mom got up from her crouched position and pulled the door open, reveling a haggard looking Day. His blue eye immediately connected with mine and he said, "Electra, I am so sorry for taking out my anger on you."

He was going to say more, when my mom butted in. "Did you say something rude or mean to her? Do I need to talk to your mother about the importance of manners that you are clearly lacking?"

I felt my cheeks heat up. Now she chooses the time to bring out the momma bear? I gently tugged her to the side of the kitchen and whispered to her, "Mom, I am not the only one that got the shot. Day is the other person that got it. If he is going to apologize, then I am going to listen and decided what action to take after that."

She brought her hand up to her chest and rested it on her heart. "Oh honey, if Drew could see you now and how grown up you are." But then the loving expression disappear and a hard one replaced it. "But if that boy is every mean to you again, tell me. Okay? Now go talk to him and make him beg for his forgiveness." she winked at me.

I smiled and walked over to Day and grabbed his hand and lead him to my room. People l get your mind out of the gutter. Nothing is going to happen except for talking.

We walked in and I saw Day give my room a glance over, before waking to my bed and plopped down on it. It suddenly became awkward, and you could cut the tension in the air with a butter knife.

Day gestured me to sit next to him on the bed, so I walked over and sat on the very edge.

"Electra, you don't know how sorry I am for yelling at you. I know that it wasn't your fault for this, and I definitely know that Eliza was wrong about you. I am just so stressed with everything going on." He told me with pleading blue eyes.

"Day, you aren't the only one who is scared and stressed! We have to keep our heads on if we want to live! First we get shots, then we have a fight, then a guy named Drake threatened to kill us and-!" I said as my voice kept leaping up an octave with each word. Finally Day cut me off again.

He stared at me and shock, then anger filtered across his face. "What did you say about being threatened?"

"Mwumel uo thea" I muffled through his hand.

He quickly removed his hand and I said, "My mom told me that he came from the Winchester Lab, and the dude's name, Drake, said that he was sent here to kill us. But he was bored so he said that we have two days to run, and then he will come after us. when I told him to shove it, he threatened to harm my mom if we didn't run." I chuckled nervously and added, "And apparently my dad worked for this lab, and at this said lab they illegally combine human DNA and animal DNA. It turned out that we have some sort of penguin falcon DNA mixing with our DNA from the shot."

Well this is new. Day Ward was speechless. Although what he said next left me speechless. He said, "Go pack your bags Electra; we've got to run."

Convincing my mom was surprisingly easy.

"Hun, I know why you have to run, I just want you to be safe." My mom said with tears in her eyes.

Day butted in on this mother daughter moment and said, "As long as she is with me, she will be safe and sound." He said with a reassuring smile.

I had a book bag packed with three changes of clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, and deodorant, and some money mom shoved into my hand. Since it was fall, the late night are a bit nippy so I had a sweatshirt on and a leather jacket.

"What are we going to do with your parents Day?" I asked him.

"Oh sweetie don't worry about them, I'll take care about that!" My mom said to him.

Whoa, what? "What do you mean "take care of them"? You aren't going to kill them, are you?" I said panicky.

She started laughing at me and says, "No silly! I'll just tell them you two ran off or something like that. Just sneak in and pack some stuff Day, you guys are loosing time."

I kissed her cheek goodbye and she whispered in my ear, "come back home baby girl. I love you."

I choked up and said I love you back to her, and we were off in Days car.

It was nearing ten in the evening, and Day told me that his parents are usually in bed by eight because of their early morning. By the time we got to his house, I composed myself and waited in the car while he got some stuff together.

Day hopped back into the car and threw his book bag in the back seat along with mine. He stared the car up and we were off into the black distance.
