'Silver's POV'

When I wake up in the morning, Clarissa gives me medicine and I'm rushed to get dressed, eat and get outside

I'm handed a bow and a quiver full of arrows that hangs over my shoulder and between my wings for easy access.

First, they show me how to hold the bow. Then, how to stand. And finally, how to aim.

"Okay Silver, shoot at the target." Cole instructs. I nod and pull an arrow out of the quiver, positioning it and getting ready to shoot at the target that was hung on a tree

I let the arrow go, and it misses the target completely, lodging itself into the tree above the target

"You did okay, but your posture was off. You must learn to hit the target on the ground before you can start trying to hit one while flying." Zane says

"I know, I'm sorry." I sigh. I'm a great shot with a gun, but not with a bow and arrow

"Don't be sorry, we've just got to practice... A lot..." Lloyd reassures me. I nod and take another arrow out of my quiver, positioning it, and letting it go.

After a few more tries, I hit the target. Not in the middle, but on the side.

"Woohoo!" I jump up in the air

"Good job." I hear Sensei's voice and turn to see him watching us train "now, try to hit the target while flying."

"But Sensei, I've only hit the target once."

"Silver, why are you so nervous? This does not seem like you." He questions

"I am not nervous." I cross my arms over my chest, still holding onto my bow

"Then try." I let out a sigh of defeat and fly slightly into the air. I take another arrow out and aim it at the target.

I shoot, and hit the target even closer to the centre than last time

"Why is that so much easier?" I ask, landing and turning to him

"Because, you are a natural flyer, so making you try to do something on the ground is much harder for you than trying to do something in the air. It's just like if we tried to make the boys train in the air, it would be harder for them because they are more used to the ground." I nod my head

~~~

Three weeks have passed. I can easily hit the centre of the target from the air, and hit it on the edges while on the ground.

"Mommy, do you have to train again today?" Kadence asks. Ever since I've started to train for this, I haven't been able to spend as much time with Kadence

"I do, I'm sorry Kadence. You can come and practice flying while we train if you'd like." He nods and follows me outside

I shoot at moving targets while Kadence flies beside me. A siren sounds, causing my arrow to be shot into the ground.

We rush inside with the guys

"Guys, the scientists have started bombing buildings! Sensei needs to see you, now!" They run into a room, I follow quickly

"This is their plan, they're starting already..." Everyone looks at me

"What do you mean, Silver?" Sensei asks

"This is how they're going to kill the population of earth. We have to go and begin to recruit mutants now. We cannot wait." There is determination in my voice, more so than ever before
