Triplets (girlxgirl)

8- laughs and memories

We had been flying for a while and neither of us said a word to each other. I was lost in my thoughts, wondering about everything that has happened so far since the girls arrived. I knew Jimmy had awakened some of her blood but I didn't know how much and I think it was time to figure it out. I looked down to the girl in my arms. She was looking straight ahead, her mind wondering away god knows where. She looked so innocent and broken it was hard to see that she could kill someone without remorse. I knew what I had to do but I hoped she won’t kill me for it. I let go of her body, letting her drop from hundreds of feet in the air.

“Come on, come on. Show me something” I said. But she kept falling and falling. “Shit” I dove down racing after her the wind hitting me in the face. By the time I reached her, we were almost at the treeline. I grabbed her by the waist and lift her up into the air again.

“Are you crazy?” Jimmy yelled at me. “I swear you’ll regret this when get to land”

“I wanted to see what you could do”

“What?” I stopped flying, grabbed her by the neck and held her at arm’s length. Her feet were hanging down towards the ground.

“Listen, and listen well” I said slowly. I waited before I had her undivided attention. “I know that you have awakened some of your blood. I saw you sucked that guy dry the day we went to Annwn. My job is to make sure that you are not a threat to the town and school okay? I just want to know what you can do, can you show me?” As I spoke, my voice got softer and softer. Jimhaya looked at my thoughtfully for a while. Without a word, she took my hand and ripped it off her neck. I screamed of fear that she would fall but to my surprised she stayed in front of me not moving.

“Shit, you gave me a fright” I said holding my chest. Jimmy looked at me with a ghost smile on her face.

“You were afraid for me?” she asked confused.

“Ya” I said, “I was” After I said that, there was an awkward silence, just looking at each other. I cleared my throat. “So you can fly huh?” Jimmy didn’t answer; she just kept looking at me.

“If you have questions, you have to ask Jazzy. I’m not giving you any” She said quietly.

“Good to know” I said. I decided to change the subject, “How about we race back to the lake. Through the wind and through the trees, what say you?” I grinned at her and started my way back where we came from and her following close behind. I dove down into the trees flying through the branches and she followed. I was laughing, enjoying the wind through my hair and avoiding the obstacles in front of me. We continued like that for some time until I decided to go faster. I went back up above the trees and continued my way to the lake. When I looked behind me, I couldn’t see Jimmy anywhere. I laughed: nobody messes with a child of the wind. As I turned my eyes back to the front, I saw a black smoke and what looked like webs appearing in the air. I put the brakes trying to change course but I was not able to. I crashed into the figure fairly hard and we went falling out of the sky. We crashed into the lake and the water above my head took the away air in my lungs. The shock of the cold water kept me frozen for a few seconds before I managed to control my body again. I retracted my wings and swam up to the surface.

I looked around to Jimmy in the water with me. I was so mad right now for teleporting herself in front of me that it occur to me that she was laughing.

“Are you nuts? We could have gotten hurt” I screamed at her. “Stop laughing you piece of-.” I froze. She was laughing. I looked at her and noticed her features were softer. She had dimples showing with her wide smile, her smile that showed her perfect white teeth looked sincere and her eyes held life for the first time since I first met her. It’s a beautiful sight: seeing a person come back to life even if it doesn’t last long.
