I flapped my wings as the wind helped carry me over trees, out of distance of my friends and my second family. I just wanted to escape the problem then face it was all I wanted, but wishes and wants almost never come true for me and when they do come true, they backfire on me. It's like the cross-fire feeling I have in my head, it never goes away.
I land on the pier that me, my dad, and sometimes my friends chicken-neck for crabs in the summer heat every summer at least twice. I flashback and see ghostly figures of me and my dad, me pulling a chicken line and my dad with a net, ready to catch the crab. I recall that the last time I went crabbing, it was when I was in Cheechs, which I know come to see how much they disliked the kids and wanted them out of the clan.
I do a dive into the murky Nanticoke river and propel in the water with my wings acting like motors on a speedboat. Every time I look, I can see schools of fish swimming freely with no fear of being caught by fisherman that troll this river in the summer. I swim about 1 mile out until I do a flip in mid-air, causing water to fall off my scales and making my scales sparkle in the late-fall sun.
I swim back to the pier and lay down on it with water splashing on my back as I turn in my human or true form, keeping warm with the now oddly heated water from the river. I weep a little, remembering my past up to the present day, my fears that from my childhood still haunt me like my fear of the dark, my dreams that I grew up to know would fail, my wishes that would turn on me in the future, and worst of all my childhood friends that I would never see again. It still hurts in my gut as I flashback to waste time of explaining everything to my friends, Sam, Lauren, and Rosie, as known as my editing partners.
"The one thing that I need to know is to stay strong, don't give up hope, to have the power to turn fears into friends," I say out loud to myself.
I stand up with water still pouring on me as I start to walk toward the start of the pier, shaking my leg without knowing why I'm doing it. I look over the pier and see my reflection in the water, the face that belongs to me but faintly seems to be taken away from me, my true self, my non-hybrid self that I once was. I start to sing Demons as I look in the water.
"I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you but with the beast inside there's nowhere we can hide," I sing in my whisper voice as the words seem to come out of my mouth.
"Can you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide."
"Ella, can you come here, we are giving your secondary powers to your friends soon but they have some questions," Hunter sends.
"I'm coming," I send turning into Swimmer and letting the water that was falling on me fall back into the river.
When I get into the room, my editing partners ask me questions, i answer, they go home, and in a few minutes, we leave the portal world and go into the real world and leave the party.
