Over the last eight months Echo had grown, to a full grown wolf. His blues eyes had changed yellow and he was now up to my stomach. All my other friends had got their spirits as well. Freya had received a Lion cub named Diego, River had a fox called Francis and Ebony had a leopard who went by Beauty. Our new friend, Delia had a black leopard called Burgheera.
We were all chilling under the stairs, as per, and playing with our spirits. Jenna's Dalmatian Cookie was chasing and playing with Echo. The leopards were asleep and Francis was lying across River's lap. Diego was sat with Freya and kept pawing her face. We were all minding out business when there was a loud bang on the window behind us. Echo jumped in front of me, hackles raised and teeth bared. A boy had been smashed up against window, pinned down by another. Their spirits had each other at the throats. I tried to see if I knew who they were. River gasped and we turned to look at her.
"What is it?" We asked in unison.
"That's Aman!" She cried. "Why is he being beat up?!"
"I dunno, but isn't that Tornado?" Jenna replied, gob wide open.
Tornado was a nick name, his real name was Wesley Cregs. He was known for being violent for no reason. He once got excluded for sending a kid to hospital. He was tall and had silver, spiky hair. His spirit was a Bald Eagle.
Aman was a really nice kid. He was short, had glasses and was hilarious. He had black hair and his spirit was a Canary. Hence why we were all so confused on how he had managed to get into a fight with Wesley. He had great friends that he always hung around with.
We ran out if the fire exit and saw the birds flapping a screeching in the sky. Aman was pushed up against a wall with Tornado punching him.
"Get off him! Get off!" River cried and charged at the boy.
Tornado turned and tried to punch her. No one ever threatened River. Her fox leapt on his bag and snapped at his neck. Echo wrapped his jaw around Tornado's ankle and made him fall over. I leapt on his stomach and slapped him across the face. I was about to punch him when Freya grabbed me and held me back. Mr Millroom came out and grabbed Wesley and dragged him inside.
I went over to Aman who now had a black eye and a nose bleed. We took him to the bathroom to get him cleaned up.
"What did you do to attract attention from Wesley?" Ebony asked wiping the blood from his nose.
"You tell me, you tell me."
