Too broken

The golden eagle

I sat at the normal sit.Joe was beside me nothing unusual. Chemistry was a course that passing was a priority. No one wanted to see that lecturer for another year. The lecturer entered with a new student.Still nothing unusual, happened all the time. 'Hello comrades, another student from...'he began his boring speech. Her eyes caught my attention. Ocean blue. I looked around .I wasn't the only one watching her. Many were. She took a sit at the front row.I saw her in most of the lectures throughout the day.

Being a friday, I was on fire, most of the guys were.Joe and my other buddies dropped around 7pm with their share of girls. And a blond for me.I hated blonds, and I had a feeling that's why they brought her. But being a friday, I could hook up with any type of beauty .Stress on the word beauty. She may be a blond, but 98%beautiful.The party was crowded and we squeezed ourselves in. We had a few drinks before taking the party to the dancing hall. I never knew blonds were good dancers till now.Till fricking now. She sat on my lap for more drinks. Time flew. We got wasted.'Wonna get out of here,?,'I whispered.She gave me a cold shoulder. The blond wasn't into me at all. Just another party freak.Right way to live.I looked for my friends to no avail. Most probably they were upstairs .I moved past the crowd and stormed outside. Damn, I should have come with my jeep. The air was cold and I could tell it was almost 3.00am.Birds chatting was my music,before I heard some screams. I was immediately sober. I followed the screams which led me to a gathering. Four red wolves surrounding a girl.Then six grey wolves appeared. Clearly the red wolves had been outnumbered. I slowly went for the girl,as the wolves were tearing each other apart. I don't remember breathing. Light wasn't the word to describe her weight. Lucky for me, a taxi appeared, and I boarded after helping the girl on the back seat. We were at my house in no time, and after paying, I carried the girl upstairs. I only breathed after I lay her on my bed. Only now I noticed the blood on her entire blouse and jeans,. I hurriedly stormed to the bathroom and took a wet cloth, and one of the nightstands gown.I took off her blouse and jeans. I felt her tremble ,but it seemed like an involuntary action.,.She had a very deep wound on her ribs,and just a scratch on her right thigh.I decided  to clean her up, and with some bandages, I managed to stop the bleeding. It wasn't perfect but she would survive. I helped her on the gown. That's when I recognized her face. Damn. The new girl. I felt sorry for her. I couldn't imagine what had happened to her, but I was extremely tired, so after closing the door I went downstairs and passed out on the couch. It had been a long night.

I woke up at around 12pm .My head was killing me. I went to the kitchen and put some ice and  drink on the glass ,hoping the headache would cool down .Lie. It always cooled down ,no hope was required. I prepared breakfast hoping the new girl would be awake. I knocked at the door and after no response I went in with her breakfast.She wasn't on the bed. I put the tray down. Blood on the floor all the way to the opened window. The nightgown hang on the window, with a golden feather. She was gone..
I spent the whole day, well let's just call it afternoon cleaning the place up and doing some exercises. Joe and my other buddies arrived a bit later with details of the bash and how to  organize another one.. I didn't tell them of the new girl. It just never came up..

Monday classes were,.just classes. The same. I didn't see the new girl anywhere. I went to the school department and with a few lies here and there ,I got her address,. I remembered my sister, her pain.I wasn't there for her, or with her. A burden I would have to carry for the rest of my life.
I left the school premises, afterall I didn't have a class during the afternoon. I drove southwards. The journey was long. Why didn't she live in the school premises? And how would she make it to the morning lectures? I arrived at the exact homestead. It was isolated. I parked the car, then knocked at the door. There was no response. I knocked a few more times, and still after no response,I opened the door.Thank Heavens it wasn't locked .I walked in and immediately a knife was on my neck.Trouble. Coming was a bad idea.'Who are you?'I heard a female voice. I gradually turned around  with my hands up and there she was, the new girl.I examined her features,she held a knife on one hand, and the other held her ribs. Her wound. I travelled to her eyes just to find hers fixed on mine. She threw the knife past me and it hit a bird in the house,which turned golden then disappeared. Yep. I shouldn't have come.'My name is Ryan, we met yesterday at the woods,,,,'I begun explaining before she started breaking down in front of me. She was in pain. I went closer and held her, and after showing no resistance, I helped her to the bed,where she passed out. Great. Just great..
