章 7: In My Life Part 3
“Ahh!” Halian let out as he was dragged into the alley.
“Hey man, sorry but, shut the fuck up!” Takoda, a Native American young man who could not have been any older than 23. He was a bit of a chubby guy who wore a red and black hoody with black and white shoes. There was a friendly vibe to him which emitted from him to Halian. Within a matter of seconds Halian began to soften up.
“Who are you?” Halian asked.
“Takoda. And are you stupid?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why would you show that girl that you’re an Owl?”
“What, how would you…”
“Just shut up will ya?” Takoda asked. In a blink of an eye Takoda transformed into his owl form. He was a barred owl much as Halian stood in shock.
“You’re…you’re an…”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m an owl just like you. This day keeps getting weirder huh?”
“…I didn’t know there was anyone else out there”.
“Most people don’t think we’re still around. But hey, I’m here, you’re here. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth”.
“Uh, Yeah”. Halian said. “I guess that’s true”.
“Where did that punk go?!?” One of the random men that was chasing after Halian yelled.
“Got any ideas on how we’re going to get out of here in one piece?” Takoda asked.
“Well, where do you want to go?”
“Hey!” Another one of the random men yelled. “There they are!”
“Anywhere but here”. Takoda said.
“Can you just listen to us?” Halian begged. Meanwhile, Takoda transformed into his owl form right before Halian. Halian stood in silence with his jaw dropped and pupils dilated.
“What the hell?” One of the random guys shouted. “Where did that fucker go?”
Halian decided to follow suit and transform into his owl form. Everyone that was there was struck with a state of awe and confusion. That Takoda and him to make their break away from them. But this was not enough. The crowd of men did not rest on their laurels. They instead got up and ran after them.
“Are you sure about this?” Halian asked.
“Thought you had no ideas?” Takoda answered with a question. “Go back and get beaten to a pulp? No thanks, not in the mood for a makeover”.
“But aren’t we just targets?”
“Yeah, that’s just the cards that we’ve been dealt. It’s kinda a cruel irony”.
The crowd of men were loud enough that the two of them could hear the group of men pursing them off in the distance. It was not much longer that the sound of these men increased in its volume and intensity. While Takoda was stern, Halian was frozen in place with an expression of fear on his face.
“What are we going to do about them?” Halian asked.
“Eh, they’ll tire out sooner rather than later. And when they do, we’ll be fine”. Takoda told him.
“And you know this how?”
“Yo, what’s the point of worrying? If they catch us, which they won’t, but if they catch us then they catch us right? Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. All we can do is focus on what we can control. And right now, the only thing that we can control is getting the hell out of dodge”.
A bullet brushed threw Takoda’s feathers, missing his skin by inches. Turned out that one of the men who were in hot pursuit was packing and another bullet was shot off. Halian and Takoda both looked off in the distance as Halian was still a near ice sculpture.
“Are you worried now?” Halian asked.
“No. But I am a smidge concerned. We got to lose them”.
Takoda took him and Halian down a windy path that made it difficult for the mob to follow them. They zigged, the zagged, went one way, and then went another in an attempt to lose everyone. The method’s madness did in fact begin to come to fruition as one by one the angry mob began to shrink away.
Once the angry group of men faded away, Takoda slowed Halian and himself down. They circled the area just a bit to ensure that everyone was gone before they landed and turned back into their human form. Halian took the opportunity to take a breath. He looked around him as a leaf from a nearby treen fluttered by him.
“See”. Takoda started. “Told ya we’d make it out okay”.
“I mean, that was pretty close”. Halian responded with.
“Sure. But what can ya say? We’re not dead”.
“You literally dodged a bullet”.
“Hey, it is what is. And besides, now it’s a good story”.
“Well, what do you we do now?”
“I don’t know, what were you doing before you met me?”
“I was skateboarding, but now it’s back there”.
“Yeah, you don’t want to go back there”.
“But I saved up all my money for it!”
“Tough shit kid”.
A loud bang went off that startled both Halian and Takoda. They decided to investigate just where that sound came from. They looked around where they were at and noticed that they were next to a decently big building with bars around it. They transformed into their owl form and flew up to see what was going on. To their surprise, they saw two other owls fighting.
It was Wiyot and Calian.
