One Day I'll Fly Away....

Chapter 1

GO READ THE PROLOGUE FIRST!!! GO NOW!! MY COMPUTER SHUFFLED MY CHAPTER ORDERS!!!

Chap. 1. Yeah! Let's get this started! Let us also leave all of the negative comments for something else. And I will be continuing my One Direction Imagines. So I am taking requests as of right now. 

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

 " I will always be there for you my darling. Always. I will never leave you."  my mommy whispers in my ear as she tucks me in. Engulfing me in mounds of blankets, she leans over and plants a soft kiss on my forehead and goes on singing me my favorite lullaby. 

" Happy dreams my love." she says as she moves from the edge of my tiny bed and towards the door.  " Mommy"  my tiny voice whispers. 

" Yes my love"

" You promise that we will be together forever?" I ask already knowing her answer, but never getting tired of it.

" And ever, my darling" she says and closes my door, leaving me to drift into peaceful sleep.

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

 My eyes snapped open, bringing me back to reality. Day 23. Same dream every night. That liar. She promised. How could you lie to a 4 year old. I take a deep breathe and check the clock for the time. 7:47 am. Perfect timing. I have a new family to take care of. I perk up my ears, using my highly sensitive hearing to scan for any sign of anyone else awake in the house. Four individual snores. They are still sleeping. I get up and make my way downstairs towards the kitchen to make breakfast. Bringing out the basic necessities one would need for making breakfast. 

My husky, Tundra, kept nipping at my ankles, begging me to feed her. Once she is fed, I continue with breakfast. I still listen. Three snores. As if on cue, a pair of muscular arms wrapped themselves around my waist. 

"Good morning Lyra" Adam yawned. He brought his head into the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent. I have always had this soft spot in my heart for Adam. Short brown hair, blue eyes fairly muscular. He took me in when my mom abandoned me. We dated for quite some time, then broke it off seeing as we would be better off as friends. We started a new family by finding the other boys. Upon arriving at the warehouse he and Lucas got jobs at a steel and welding factory. With what they both make we get by with food, energy, technology, etc. He's my rock. 

"Morning Adam." He released his hands. I moved away finishing breakfast and went on to pick up the boys dirty laundry, while Adam made himself a plate. Why are boys so messy. Why. It just makes my job a lot harder. Just then, Lucas walked out of his room in nothing but sweatpants. He gives me a warm smile and walks into the kitchen making himself a plate. Lucas itn's much of a talker. Sometimes we get the occasional "Hi" or "What's up" or maybe even "I'm hungry", but that's it.  Lucas had short brown hair with some streaks of blonde in it and blue eyes.

 "Adam, Lucas, would it kill you to pick up your own clothes? I'm not your maid. I don't deserve to be treated like one." I Love these boys, but this is ridiculous. 

"Sorry Lyra" they both hung there heads down. I instantly felt bad. "It's fine. It's just....I need help with this place you guys and we all live here and hopefully we won't be relocating anytime soon. I can't do this by myself boys. We are all we have. We're a family. And it starts with picking up after yourself." 

"Yes Lyra" They had smiles on there faces. I can and will never get tired of saying that I love these boys. They are all I have left. 

"Alright. Finish eating. You both have work in an hour. Seth, Kanani, get down here and eat." They both come out of there room with there hair sticking up in all directions and with sleep in there eyes. " Buenos días mi hermosa familia." (Good morning my beautiful family) exclaimed Seth. They made their food and sat down with the rest of the boys. They looked at peace. Now; time to ruin it. 

"I have to go into town today. We are running out of food and I need to pay the electricity bill." All four of them give me hard looks. Adam is this first, a always, to speak up. "Lyra. We talked about this. We cannot just walk right into town. People are suspicious of us a is." This is true. About 2 miles from the mountain, there was a small town with a population of about 300. And it's a very tight nit community, where everybody has known everybody for years. And when you have 5 teenagers come into said community, with no parents, no back round information and no respect for authority, it raises concern and suspicion. 

Living high enough in the mountain where the air gets thin, people don't venture close to us. But that doesn't mean they don't try. I can understand why Adam and the others are concerned for mine and our safety. But I can hold my own and take care of myself. 

"You leaving is out of the question." Adam finishes. I had just now realized that I had tuned him out. "Adam, we need food. If it makes any difference, I will go later in the evening, when the public dies down." He hesitated. I expected this reaction from him. He always saw me as a small and fragile person who needs constant babysitting. I'm sick of it.

I sighed. "I'm going. With or without permission." He gave me a death glare, his normal pale blue eyes flashing gold. I kept my head held high, showing that I was not backing down. He didn't press it, knowing well he wasn't going to win this argument. He bowed his head in submission. I hate doing that. I hate showing my dominance against them. But I will not tuck my tail between my legs and let people walk all over me and tell me what to do. 

"I'll take the twins with me if that will make you feel better." The twins nodded. Taking the twins and having all three of us in one area at the same time is a big risk and strikes suspicion, but as long as Adam knows that I won't be alone and he knows that I will be safe is worth it. Adam still looked hesitant, but finally nodded. "Good. Now you and Lucas go get dressed or you'll be late." They finished and headed off to do what guys do before they go to work, leaving me with the twins. 

"What are we getting" asked Kanani. I finally settled down on the love seat once the living room looked decent. Both the twins joined me sitting on the bigger couch. The twins looked a lot like each other, dark brown hair, light brown eyes and muscular, but they had some looked over distances. Seth has a birthmark of a jaguar spot pattern located at the base of his right shoulder. And Kanani has the same spots on his left calf going down to his ankle. 

"Just the basics. Meat, fruit, and also some more laundry detergent. Your clothes stink." Why do guys have to stink too? "Seth you'll go with me and Kanani, you'll go and pay the bills." I was never really good with handling money. They nodded and we proceeded to watch some TV. Just then Adam and Lucas came out of there rooms dressed and ready for work. I smiled and walked over to them. I gave them each a hug and a kiss on the forehead.  They walked outside and shifted into their griffin forms, Adam being a majestic lion and Lucas being a strong tiger. They sniffed the area, smelling for any danger. Danger being humans. They carry such a strong odor. Sensing nothing, they both jump off the edge of the mountain and stretch out there wings. I close the front door and turn to the twins. 

"Come on. There is still a mess to clean up throughout this house. Let's get to it." They groaned but got up and Kanani headed off to do the dishes and Seth got out the vacuum while I proceeded to do laundry. Seriously. Why do guys have to stink. On a daily basis. God!
