"Angel...... Angel...... Wake up now...."
I heard a voice in my sleep. I don't want to wake up. Its cold, and the blankets were warm. I sat up, still clutching a few blankets to my self to try in a vain attempt to keep the warmth on them.
It was Calcifer. He sat in front of me smiling.
"I haven't herd you talk since I met you....." he said "I was wondering, can you speak at all?"
I nodded my head.
"Why don't you then? Can you talk to me? It would most certainly relive us of some boredom." He stated looking overly serious.
It was still hard for me to make out words, but I said a quiet "hello" to him.
"Good!" He said "now we have to work on your smile!"
I looked at him confused "I can't.... Smile..." The thought had never even crossed my mind.
"I'm sure I saw you smile as you fell asleep last night, now we just have to figure out how to make you do it on command!" He said.
I was still doubtful. I didn't think I could smile. But it would be something to do, besides stare at the wall, so why not try?
I tried to smile at Calcifer.
"Are you crying?!" He said applaud. "What's with THAT face?! You really DON'T know how to smile!" He sighed "well I guess we have our work cut out for us...."
Over the next week Calcifer tried to make me smile. He failed. He tried to make me laugh. He failed again. Nothing seemed to work.
Calcifer said that he'd follow me all day tomorrow, and try to make me laugh that way. I didn't think it would work, but what the heck, might as well try it...
Tomorrow, I had speech therapy with John. My second one. I wonder if Calcifer will like John, I thought.
The next day a man I had never seen came with one of the scary mans to get me to John's room. Calcifer looked at them hatefully.
"Wow! She's a beauty! What kind is she? A vampire? No, an where wolf! No..... Shape shifter?" The new man said excitedly.
"This little freak? No, I'll show ya." The scary man looked at me sharply "hey, show him freak." He said.
I extended my wings to their full length. I could just barely stretch them to the corners of my room.
The new mans eyes sparkled "wow!! That's so beautiful! And cool! She has wings! Can she fly? That'd be great, to fly! I've wanted to ever since I was a kid!"
"Hey kid," the scary man said "I know your the directors nephew, but we gotta get this thing to its next session."
"My name is Kevin! Not kid!" The new man said.
Kevin, I thought. He seemed like John. He wasn't scary. I decided I liked him to.
Calcifer was on the floor laughing.
"BWAHAHAHA!! LOOK AT HIS FACE! He's all like 'I'm not a kid!' But he's clearly no more than a 15 year old blond British kid!!! HIS ACCENT MAKES IT EVEN MORE FUNNY!!! HAHAHAHA!!" He screamed, trying not to choke on his own laughter.
"Hey!" Kevin said "do you have a name?" He looked at me earnestly.
"Come on kid, ask it questions later. Tell ya what, how about you sit in on its next session? Seein as your so interested and all." Scary man said.
"YAY!" Kevin exclaimed.
We got to John's room, the speech therapy room, and me and Kevin entered.
