The Colour Of Blood

I should have mentioned that?

Arik

I hear a noise from the door.

Who is that?

Cautiously I edge towards the door for fear it will be some sort of attack on my house. I relax a bit when I see Cloudy standing there, however I see Coco there (Cloudy's older sister) if she is here that can't be good. I open the door to Cloudy's eyes that seem to be a different colour each day; today they were strikingly grey.

"Hi!" she says calmly, "Arik we need to ask a huge favour... you see..."

"Our sister Fawn has been kidnapped!" Coco interrupts as she hands me a note. As I read it I feel Coco's blue eyes on me as if piercing my mind (which of course she was).

"So what do you want me to do about it?" I say, my voice turning a little horse.

"We would like you travel across Europe with us to help us find fawn." Cloudy says quickly. Due to Cloudy's rush I decided now would not be a good time to sit and wait. Therefore I rushed to pack my suitcase and scribble a note for my mum:

Dear Mum,

I am going to Europe with Cloudy and Coco; I don't know when I will be back. Will keep you updated,

Your loving son

Arik Angus Ashford.

We rush to the airfield where a massive planes are waiting, "Do you own one of these planes?" I ask Cloudy.

"It is our cousins. He agreed to piolet us around." she says while pointing to the cockpit of a particularly big Jet.

Out of the jet came the strangest guy you had ever seen, he had his hair hidden by a little cap. His body was covered from head to toe in a Bugs Bunny onesie. He hurdled himself at Coco whose expression alone said is it too late to run by which the answer was yes as she was embraced in a bear hug and the only thing I could hear her say was:

"Watch the ribs man Josh!" before she was completely covered by Josh's massive arms.

"Come aboard my plane!" Josh yelled into the horizon, "First stop France!"

We all boarded the plane and set off.

......................................................................................................

When I boarded Josh's jet I perhaps would not have if I knew what a terrible piolet Josh was. During the 1st 30 minutes of the flight all we could think about is are we going to fall? No! Are we going to fall now? Possibly! Will we fall before we reach Paris? Defiantly! Sadly however the plane steadied its self out... and that meant Coco could start asking me Questions.

Coco addressed her sister, "So Cloudy, what use could you possibly think this human could have on our quest?"

Using my instincts I turn myself to look like her and say in her voice, "Well this HUMAN if that's what you think I am, has a pair of ears!"

"What how are you doing that?" Coco yelled in outrage.

"I Miss Coco Pullman am a Homo flauae sanguinem same as you!" I retort.

"Ok... Sorry for yelling Mr man with yellow blood." She says in a more reasonable tone, "But, if you don't mind could you stop looking like me and go back to your brown eyes black hair, it suits you." I realise I am still looking like her. I change back to myself blushing.

"Hey... Josh where are we?" Cloudy exclaims.

Josh replied, "Still 1 hour 50 min..."

"Prepare for landing." A silky yet piercing voice said.

"Guess not." I say as I grab my rucksack as we begin our descent.
