Prologue
I woke up in a different room. I'm not even in my house anymore. As I sit up I see multiple people looking at me. I tried to get up and run for it but I couldn't. They had chained my feet to the bed. Anger fumed inside of me, as I looked at everyone.
"Where am I?" I asked. They didn't answer, so I tried again only this time screaming.
"Where am I!" A boy stepped forward, and I reconized him as my hummingbird friend.
"You are now in the trees." He said.
"What do you mean I'm in the trees?" I asked feeling stupid for doing so.
"Well we're in a 600 ft. tree, and if you don't believe me look out the window."
I thought to myself how am I supposed to get up and look out the window? And then a boy got up and unlocked my chains
" Hi I'm Nickolas and I will be taking care of you while you are here." He said with a smile.
I looked at him skeptically. "Thanks...and I'm-" He cut me off.
"Yes, Dylan. I know who you are." He helped me up.
"How do you know who I am?" I said confused.
"I am sort of like you actually. I am a Hummingbird." I gave him a look like he was crazy although I was beginning to think I was crazy too. As I walked over to the window Nickolas followed and so did the guy I found in my bathroom floor.
"Hey Dylan." He said.
"Who are you?" I spat.
Nickolas jumped in and said "I'm sorry Dylan, this is Westly." I looked at 'Westly' in discoust. He looked back at me and I just turned my head and looked out the window. Westly wasn't lying to me when he said we were in a tree. I slowly backed up. Nickolas asked;
"So are you afraid of heights?" I turned to him.
"Are you crazy? NO I'm not afraid of heights. The only thing I'm afraid of is standing in front of a window with Westly behind me."
"Why are you afraid of me?" He said sounding offended.
"Oh I dont know probably because you were a hummingbird one minute then you were a boy who apparently kidnapped me, and ended up putting me in a 600 ft. tree." I said putting as much sarcasm in my words as I could.
"She does have a point Westly." I looked at Nickolas.
"Thank you but I don't need your help. Now may I go home? You made me late for dinner and now my grandma is going to kill me." I turned to look at everyone waiting for an answer.
As I glanced at Westly he looked very upset.
"Yes, but let me help you out." Nickolas said with a smirk.
"Why are you smirking?" I asked and then Westly also started to smirk. Everyone behind them got up and they all turned into a hummingbird and picked me up and carried me out of the tree. I don't know if I passed out or something like that, but all I remember is watching the sunset as they brought me down. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen. The clouds reflected the colors of Purple,Yellow,Pink, Orange, and a little bit of red. The clouds were so vivacious I could not believe it. The wind blew my hair around, and I felt like a feather. I wanted to stay like this forever. I dont know when I passed out, but when I woke up, my grandma was there, and she had a worried expression on her face.
"What's wrong grandma?" She looked at me and started to cry.
"I'm worried about you." She said with tears running down her face.
"Why?" I asked, only this time with more seriousness. She looked down.
"You have become of age." She murmured. But before I could ask what she meant, I blacked out again.
I woke up back in my bed there was a note on my dresser and I read it.
'Went to the store be right back, Love Grandma.' I looked around to find my shoes but they seemed to be missing. So I just got up put some socks on and went down the stairs and I heard the TV. So I walked towards the living room thinking grandma just left it on before she left. As I walked in Nickolas appeared and walked towards me pushing me back.
"What are you doing?! Let me go!!!" I screamed. I noticed he was crying. He pushed me up against the wall. I couldn't get out and I heard my grandma screaming.
"Help me!!" Her old voice echoed through my head. She was in pain. With one last scream it became silent. I started to shake.
I looked up only to find a strong tall man with a knife. It had blood all over it, and he was walking towards me. I knew that he killed grandma and I was next. I started to sweat like crazy pushing Nickolas away. Fortunately I got him on the ground long enough to punch him and then I ran out the door. I ran as fast as I could only to find I had no where to go. No family and no friends. Tears were strolling down my face, blurring my vision, but I kept on running.
Nickolas was behind me running fast, screaming "Dylan! Stop running. I'm trying to save you!"
I didn't listen I kept running. I ended up at a huge cliff. I looked behind me with Nickolas catching up. I looked at the sky and then I jumped. Only somehow I wasn't falling down. I'm gliding through the air. I don't have arms anymore I have giant eagle wings and my mouth was not a mouth anymore it was a beak! I lost control of myself and I started falling again only this time something caught me.
