CHAPTER NINETEEN

----- A flash of white, then I saw a person. Boy? Yes. He was tall, and looked very muscular, but that was all I could make out. The light became stronger, and I shielded my eyes, unable to look at it. When the light went away, I uncovered my eyes, and nothing.

--- It's been a month. Everything's different. Well, not everything, but most. We've been traveling,a nd we're now in a very sparse forest. There are few humans left that are actually humans. Not like me or Dakota or anyone here. I've missed my fiends. Bri, Jackie. I've felt myself drift farther away from Brad and more towards Dakota. He and Tess havn't been talking to each other. She's been hanging out with max. I know Dakota is jeleous, and I can see in his eyes how much he loves Tess. Believe it or not, he's even taller. Brad has grown a bit, but Dakota seems to be having growth spurts. Max has been changing into his animal form more often and playing with Tess. I'm positive Tess is a shapeshifter too, she just hasn't turned yet.

----- I was awoken when I was moved, and I felt myself moving upwards. I sleepily opened my eyes, and founf the ground moving away from my eyes. Something had a hold of my hoodie! It was holding onto the hood, and my head, arms and legs were all dangling. I tried turning over so I could see,but I knew I wasn't in any danger. I shook the sleep out of my head, and looked up at Dakota. He had my hood in two of his fingers, and he had awoken me. I yawned tiredly, an closed my eyes, letting Dakota do whatever. He shook me gently, but it was more like someone grabbing my shoulders and shaking me hard. I jolted awake. "What?" I moaned, wanting to be back asleep.
----- "I wanted to show you something," came his reply. It felt very unsafe being held over the ground, but I guess I was used to it, and I could trust Dakota. Then he started walking, and I looked around. I heard a bird cooing, and the bugs were wakening too. Its a good thing the bugs didn't get any bigger!
----- I was swaying back and forth, my entire body limp. I wanted Dakota to put me back down, to let me sleep, but I knew that would hurt his feelings.
----- And he'd always had a short temper. Even when I first met his, but he'd been more snappy lately. Like when Spark came up to his whenhe was sleeping, and tried geting him awake so he copuld hear her new song, he didn't listen at first, then as she pestered him more, hr growled at her to go away and lifted his hand above her like he would hurt her. Spark was alreday scaredof Dakota, and she'd almost wet herself then. She held back tears and ran away, a I had to counsel her the rest of the day. Dakota must know it;'s be scary to have someone as huge as him threaten them, but I guess since he'd never met anyone bigger than him he couldn'y understand. He has almost hit me before, but had always caught himself and apologized later on.
----- "Look!" he said, and I lifted my head up and saw a giant, beautiful tree with curling branched covered in brown, orange, red and yellow leaves. I wouldn't ahve seen the beauty from my veiw on the ground, but from dakota's it was amazing. He set me in one of thelowest branches, and he sat on the ground below me. I was glad he'd brought me here. It was peaceful. Even though I could've flew up here, I appriciated dakota's kindness. He looked up at me, his head against the tree. "Like it?"
----- "I love it Dakota! It's so pretty!" I smiled at him, and spread my wings out, the tips not even reaching the edges of the branch. I jumped off and flew, and I flew higher, wanting to inspect it. It was even prettier higher up! I flew down to Dakota and landed by his shoe.
-----I've always felt safe by Dakota, but sometimes I just feel like he could hurt me whenever he wanted. I knew he wouldn't, but I felt so defenseless next to him. He could easily pick me up by the hood with only two fingers, and could cover me completly with two hands. I know he can't help it really, but I wish he wasn't so big. I like his little size better. It looked more like a 12 year old, or however old he was.

----- That night I thought about that beautiful tree Dakota took me too. I couldn't sleep, so I stretched my wings out and became determined to find that tree again.

----- After about an hour of flying, I found it. I guess I take Dakota's large steps for granted because he'd got here in about twenty minutes, but he knew where it was. I had to search for it.
----- I wlanded and walked towards it, and it looked pretty even in the dark. I ran to the trunk, then sat down, and quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.

----- Roughly picked up. "Dakota..." I whined, then I heard laughter, and I knew it was not Dakota. I looked up and saw three giants, one bigger than Dakota, and the other two smaller but bigger than Brad. The bigger one was looking at me sadly. The one holding me was one of the smaller ones, and he had picked me up by my hoodie. I tried twisting away, but I stopped when I saw how far up I was. I clenched my arms to my chest, and the giant dangled me into of his face, inspecting me. "Do you have wings?" he asked. I kept my mouth shut. This time he shook me hard, and it actually hurt. "Answer my question," he growled. I looked hatefully at him and then spread out my wings. He smiled, then showed me to his other companions. They smiled too. I was scared. My heart was beating fast and hard and the giant knew that. He shook me around, and the biggest giant plucked me out of his hands roughly. I tucked my wings in fast and closed my eyes, wanting this to all be a bad dream. But I opened then and found the giant looking at me sadly. "I'm sorry," he whsipered. I kept my arsm to my chest, and my heart beat fater, afriad of what he was sorry of.
----- He had light brown hair swept over one eye, and lots of freckles all over his face. He had grey eyes, and white skin. He had thick bushy eyebrows, and thin, pink lips.
----- My breathing quickened as I thought of all the things that they would do to me, but instead he just waved the other two off, and the sadly reatreated in the forest, whispering madly to each other.
----- 'I'm sorry," he repeated. "I had to do this or else I would've been kicked out."
----- Then with that he walked towards the place the other two went, and I shut my eyes, blocking all thoughts.

----- He stopped and gently shook me. I opened my eyes, and was greeted my a very lush, green place, like a jungle. There were huge huts, and giants all around. I counted seven. the one holding me wan't the biggest I saw, there was one more bigger. He was a little chubby, but looked very strong. He had almost black hair and blue eyes, and was staring at me emotionlessly. I saw the two from earlier in the crowd looking at me. Then I noticed everyone was looking at me. He held me out, level with his head. The others all nodded and murmered to each other. Then the one holding me spoke. "Blake will have the honor of keeping this avian, training her, feeding her, looking after her. Come get her." and tomy horror, the biggest one stepped up to the one holding me, and put his hand out. The giant holding me set me down in Blake's hands, and he retraeted back into the crowd where everyone wanted to see me. But he covered me with hos other hand and held me a little higher. "now go," said the giant that had been holding me. Everyone walked away, and I looked around as he took his hand off.
----- 'I trust you," said Blake, surprising me. I jumped nervously. He laughed, and I shrunk back, afraid. He frowned, and walked over to a tree and sat down. "I know you're scared, but I'm nice. Maybe I don't look nice, but I am." He smiled, and I looked at him suspisously, unable to detect a lie. "What's your name?" he asked. I waited, them got scared, afraid he'd hurt me like the other giant asking questions. "Lane," I said.
----- "Nice to meet you Lane... wait... I've heard your name before... didn't you go to Tarry Hills east?"
----- I was shocked. "Yes... Do I... Did I know you?"
------ "No, I just saw you in the halls. I was a freshman." He laughed. "Funny. So far away from there, yet we meet here..." He sat there thinking about that, then I interrupted the silence. "What are you going to do with me?" I asked, shaking in cold and in fear. He looked at me sadly. "Right now I have to put you with the others." Then he walked towards one of the huts, but walked behind it. I had heard talking, but it was all quiet now. There was a giant fence, thick and tall, and inside it were... humans? It was covered in vines so I couldn't fly out. He opened the gate and set me down in it, then shut the gate, and I heard a click. It was all silent, and they were all staring at me. There was about four, now five including me. There was a young girl, two older male adults, one female that looked about 40, and a very handsome looking guy. He was tall, tan and musular. He had dirty blonde hair, and the palest green eyes ever. he looked at me, and walked towards me. I shrunk back, and he stopped. "We won't hurt you," he said smiling. He came closer and shook my hand. "I'm Kevin." I stared at his hotness, and his waved his hand infront of my face and laughed. "You there?" All the others had cleared away. "Sorry... I'm just so confused right now." He nodded. '"I know. Let me show you around." He then stretched out his wings. they were amber with a thin white outline. He took my hand, and I slowly opened mine too. He lifted off and took me with him. We could actually fly pretty high without touching the top. The cage wasn't so big, I could see all of it on the ground, but I was glad he was showing me around it. He flew over a patch of hay. "This is where we sleep." He pointed to a small pond. "Drinks." There were lots of tall flowers and grass in here, but no food. "Then we go out and train and then they feed us." he looked around. "Pretty much it." He looked at me, his pale green eyes sparkling. 'Oh! And we work too!"
----- "Work?"
----- "Yeah, like our assigned giant gives us a job, and we go and do it for who knows how long." He looked around. "that's it. If you have any more questions, just ask. I'll be over there. "He pointed to a long flower. Then he flew away, and I was left standing here, alone.

----- What kind of place was this?
