Skya's Secrets; The Ice Cat

Chapter 6, (Someday...)

Sorry guys! I've been having writers block for a while now on this story, so thanks for waiting soooooooo long! Hope you enjoy! :) - CrescentMoon

Oh! And by the way, this chapter will be suuuuuper sad, so...HOPE YOU ENJOY THE TORTURE!

Skya felt pride to live in a village with such a name. Featherall. Featherall. Featherall.

"Do you like it?" her mother asked.

"I love it." she exclaimed, "I wanna meet everyone here, and learn what it's like to live in a village, and-" she stopped. She slowly realized that she couldn't possibly live with a hand in each world. She'd have to choose between the C.A.F.S, and Featherall.

She lowered her wings in sorrow, looking down at the ground. She couldn't speak, couldn't say anything at all but a faint, "I'm sorry." She closed her eyes, and imagined what it would be like to stay here, but she couldn't stay. She belonged in the C.A.F.S., as a villan.

Her mother and father stared at her with worry clouding in their eyes. They glanced at each other, while Skya started slowly tearing up.

"It's ok, hun," her father told her, "You don't have to stay."

Oh, but Skya wanted to. She wanted to stay here forever with her family, and never have to worry about who she was, and how evil she had to be, how evil she was...she couldn't...I'll never fit in here.

Her mother grasped her hands and said, "No matter where you decide to go, you'll always be our little Daya." He father slowly nodded in agreement, before Skya pulled away from her mothers hands, gave her parents one last long hug, and turned around to leave under the watchful eyes of the village folk.

Before disappearing behind the brush, Skya stopped, "I'll come back," she faintly whispered through her tears, and her back to the village, "Someday..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Conas was silent the whole trek back, sometimes giving Skya warm glances, but nothing worked. She couldn't be happy at a time like this.

Sunrise. The spy camp would be waking up soon, but Skya didn't care. She always hated those guys anyway, except Conas. Skya took to the air to clear her head, letting her wings spread out. She wasn't aloud to fly that much in the C.A.F.S., another thing she hated about them.

Skya soared above the trees, perfectly swooping under and over the thick canopy. This made her feel much better, it made her feel free. Yet, she wasn't free. She had to go back to the camp, even if she didn't want to, and she couldn't just leave Conas to go back alone to deal with them.

She quickly turned around, and glided down to where Conas was trudging to the nearby camp by himself. She landed beside him, "Hey," she said. She felt much better after that little fly around, "Sorry, I just...needed some time." They both continued walking.

"I understand that," he replied wholeheartedly, "After all, you did have to leave your family and your home, even after you just met them." He sighed, "At least you get to meet your family if anything. Mine are still out there," he exclaimed, gazing at the sun-lit jungle behind his back.

"You'll find them," Skya told him. They turned around, and kept walking back to the camp.

As they approached it, they saw a muscular figure in the distance. It must have been a fellow agent, looking for where they disappeared to. Skya ducked beneath the nearest bush, dragging Conas with her. She knew she needed to hide, considering that she'd been gone for so long, a person could get suspicious.

As they quickly hid, the figure turned their way. He probably heard them, so Skya and Conas stayed very still. Skya loved the way their shoulders touched, after all, she still had a crush on him.

The figure yelled at them, "Hey! Who's there?!" in his loud deep voice, he stomped over to the bush they were hiding behind and peered around to stare right at them. He was a gorilla man, very tall, and scary. At first he looked relieved to see they weren't enemies, but then he quickly turned suspicious.

"What are you doing out here this early?" he asked them.

"Uhh," Skya started, but Conas quickly finished her sentence.

"We found an intruder," he started with confidence in his tone. She had never seen this mischievous side of him. It made her like him even more that he could take risks, "And, we chased him off into the jungle," he pointed towards the distant trees, "Don't worry. We took care of him." The guard stood there in suspicion, then he snorted and let them pass to the camp.

As they got far enough away, Skya asked him in awe, "How did you do that?"

"Years of living in the C.A.F.S. does something to people," he replied, "You aren't supposed to know this, but...I was destined to be a spy. A good one." Skya understood that. She lived in the C.A.F.S for her whole life too, but she didn't feel like she was destined to be evil.

Skya didn't respond, and as they reached the camp, the leader of the mission, the dog man, called to us from his tent, "Hey!" he hollered at them, "Where were you two?!"

"We were-" Conas started, but Skya interrupted,

"We're quitting the mission," she was loyal to the C.A.F.S no more. She was going to find Valcon, and rip him apart for ruining her life, and keeping her away from her family.

I'll come back someday...she replayed in her mind a thousand times, hoping it were true. It would be soon...
