The night when my life changed

Chapter 1: What happened to me!?

One night while I was watching the owls flying at night in Central Park in Queens, one of them swooped down and pecked me, at first I didn't know what to do, but then everything went black.

When I woke up I felt weird, it felt like I had gotten feathers, wings, and eyes like an owl. I look down to see if I do have those parts of an owl.

I look down and what I see makes me scream. I have wings, feathers and eyes like an owl. How did this happen? I ask myself, what will happen to me if people find out that I'm a half owl.

But what if I was able to shift back to normal, but am still able to access the owl features, so that I'll still be able to look as I do right now.

Then I thought, what if I became a superhero, I mean all I would need would be a costume so that people wouldn't recognize me. It took me a while until I figured out how to shape back into myself.

After I figured out how to shape back, I went back to my house, which thankfully it was empty. I unlocked the door and went straight to my room. I was so tired that I just went straight to bed.

When I woke up the next day I was hungry, the last time I had eaten was Saturday. So I got up and made myself some bacon and eggs. After I ate some breakfast I got ready to go to my first day of sophomore year.

On the way to school, I stopped by the library to see if I could find a book about owls, to learn more about them. After the library I went to Hutchington high, where I met up with my best friend, April Summers, who has been my best friend ever since we were 5.

My first class was math, we were learning the rules that Mr. Johnson wanted us to follow in his class. I was so bored and tired that I about fell asleep if it hadn't been for April to stop that from happening.

After the bell rang I went to my next class, which is chemistry, we were learning where things were at in the lab. After chemistry I had to go to P.E with Mr. Wilson,which by the way I am not very good at.

We did sit-ups, push-ups, and we also climbed a rope, that was hanging from the ceiling. The rest of the school day dragged on, but finally it was the end of the school day.

When I got home from school, I started thinking of ideas for my costume, and a name to call myself. I settled on naming myself owl-girl, I also settled on wearing an owl face mask, and a feathery cape.

As the main part of the suit I decided on a feathery looking dress, with some cute little boots to go with it. I thought what if I meet another superhero someday, that would be so cool to meet a famous superhero, like Captain America, or even Ironman.

As I tried my costume on, I heard the front door open. It was my mom Julie, who I haven't seen since last week. "I'm home" she said, "don't come in my room" I yelled at her. "why not, I haven't seen you in a few days." She yelled back, "because I'm changing my clothes" I said, "oh OK" my mom said.

My dad died when I was 3, he died from a bomb in Iraq, he was in the air force. I quickly change back into regular clothes, and I hide the costume in my closet. I walk out of my room, and go to the living room, where my mom was watching, the Days of our Lives. "Hey mom" "hey May" my mom said, "how was school?"

"Oh the same as usual" after I was done talking to my mom I went to the kitchen and got an orange and took it to my room, and I closed and locked my door.

Since it was only the first day I didn't have any homework to do. After I finished eating my orange, I tried on my suit, and I changed so that you could see my wings, and my eyes. I climbed out of my window, and I found out that I can fly with my wings.

It was kinda hard at first, but I quickly got the hang of it. I went around the city to see if anyone needed saving. I saw this guy getting punched, by what appeared to be a criminal with a knife.

I went over to where they were and I said "hey guys what's going on?" The criminal looked up and saw me and was surprised at what he saw. "You better leave here girly, or you're gonna get hurt" the criminal said.

"Oh yeah, well I'm not the one who is going to go to jail, for robbing somebody" I said. At that he completely stops what he is doing to the man, who appears to be a teenage boy, around my age, maybe even older.

The criminal looked up at me, and grinned devilishly. "Oh really, cause it looks like to me that this is your first rodeo," he said to me. "Yeah well you are still going to jail" I said. As it turns out the knife that he had in his hand quickly changed into a full out sword.

The boy that he was robbing when he saw the sword, he saw that the guy was no longer paying attention to him, he took it and he ran. I swept down on the crook and I stole the sword before he could do anything with it. But that's not all, he also apparently had a gun with him too.

He shot it at me but he missed. The fight went on for a while, and it was just starting to get dark when I got back home. I went in through my window, and I quickly shape shifted back into my original self.

Then I quickly took my costume off, and I hid it under a loose floorboard in a box, so that it doesn't get dirty, and so that my mom doesn't find it. Then I put on my PJ's and I layed on my bed for a while until I fell asleep.
