Chapter 9

Harmony's POV

Bullet shots echoed through the air. I intangibly ducked and the bullets hit the branch that was behind where my head used to be. "Hey! Watch it with that thing! Somebody could et hurt!" I yelled at the thing. It was close enough for me to tell it wasn't some kind of fly Eraser or like that. It was clear that they were a killing machine… machine… Robot! They were some kind of killing robot!

The robot took aim at me again with it's gun and I tumbled out the tree just in time; the bullets missing me by a hair. I flipped in the air and landed on my feet, but unfortunally, I landed on my feet with one foot in a hole. The crack of my ankle was almost as loud as the gunshots. That's when I heard the growls rip through the air. Looking around, my heart almost stopped.

I was surrounded by several huge-as-a-horse (no kidding!) wolves! Since Erasers have been trying to kill me my entire life and they have wolf DNA in them, I have the right to say that I am not fond of wolves. At all. The only thing I like about them is their loyalty to their pack. Kinda like my flock. The closest one to me was a sandy color. I didn't even know wolves could be that color. The wolf had brown eyes… kinda like Seth's… His ears were pinned back and his teeth were bared. But not at me, it was growling at the robot. He crouched over me protectively.

The robot or whatever it was seemed to enjoy my pain and took it's time killing me. I refuse to be killed on the ground. If I had to die today, I would die fighting, not cowering on the ground. To much to my and the wolf's surprise, I reached up and grabbed a handful of sandy fur. I painfully pulled myself to my feet. The wolf whimpered and whined. I hoped that I wasn't hurting him. Tears were sliding down my face. The wolf licked at them. I shoved his face away, saying, "That's gross! Keep your tongue in your mouth!" The wolf whined again and nosed me and then looked back at thee ground. The wolf wanted me to sit back down on the ground. "Why in the hell would I do that? I am not dying sitting on the ground." I snapped. The wolf growled again. "Fat chance." With those words, I spread my wings, pushed off the ground with my one good foot and leapt as far into the air as possible. I flapped my wings frantically. I managed to get off the ground and into the sky. While the wolf and I were talking- I must be loosing my mind!- the robot decided to invite his friends to this little lets-kill-Harmony Party. There were now five robots.

I shot at nearest one, dodging bullets and punched it on the head. I think my hand got hurt worse than it did. It didn't even look fazed. I growled and wrestled the gun out of its hands with great difficultly. I got some cracked ribs, a slip lip and a bruise that I could feel already forming on my cheek. I quickly shot the thing down.

I did some fancy flying t dodge more bullets. These things seemed never to tire and I on the other hand was looking steam quickly. Nothing seemed to be working. How was I going to beat them? I wished that they had an off switch…. I flew up high to try to confuse them and attack from above. It didn't work. I dove down to the ground then pulled up quickly, barely missing the ground. One robot smashed into the ground. I laughed. One to dead and three to go.

Something hurled from much higher up than us and attacked a robot. With the help the mysterious being, I destroyed the rest of the robots. As the person destroyed the last robot, it yelled, "And stay away from my sister!" My blood turned to ice and I forgot to move my wings, dropping several feet. A wolf howled in pain, snapping me out of my shock.

It couldn't be… I was seeing things. There was no way my sister could be here. "Can't you stay out trouble Harmony? I don't want to keeping have to save your butt." she laughed.

"M…Melody…? I…Is that really you?" I sputtered.

"Of course silly! Who else would it be? The tooth fairy?" I stared the girl hovering in front of me. She looked exactly like me, except for the wings. While mine were all white, hers were black. "MELODY!" I screamed, launching myself at her. I couldn't believe that my twin sister was here! Its been so long since I last saw her. We laughed together, matching tears in our eyes.

Suddenly a wolf howl sounded out in warning. We broke apart to see one last robot that we hadn't seen before flying towards us, gun firing several times. "No!" I screamed. I spread my wings in front of Melody- who pushed herself in front of me- and my wings took the bullets that would've taken my sister's life. The world started to fade to black. "Harmony!" Melody screamed as I felt my wings crumple and I feel down to the earth. Before everything went black for good, I heard wolves howling. One above all.

Here is a sneek peek at the next chapter...

I didn't like having her up there, fighting. I wanted her on the ground, with me protecting her. She was MY imprint! Didn't she understand how much I loved her? All the others were laughing at me. 'Shut up!' I snarled at them. Harmony was hugging her sister when I saw another robot thing shot out of nowhere and start shooting at them. I let out a warning howl. They turned to see it, but it was too late to do anything. Melody pushed herself in front of my Harmony only to have Harmony's wings fold in front of her, like a coccoon. Bullets hit my precious angel. Her wings went limp and she started to fall to the ground. Everyone howled, but I was the loudest, the one voice with the most pain in it. I wasn't going to let my Harmony die! I would do anything to save her. Anything.

Hope you guys like what I wrote and what I have planned. I was debating to have it only in Harmony and Willow's POVs, but Seth should get his chapter of fame. ;) REVIEW REVIEW!
