Waitin it Out
One day later after the disappearance of Koopa and Mikey, Tina went running to her door, responding to the door bell. She was excited to find Mikey standing there, but his clothes were all torn, and he seemed both tired and angry.
After seeing and feeling how worried Tina was for him, Mikey calmly said, "Tina..I am truly sorry. I know you were trying to be nice to me, but I can't stay here any longer if you're sister is going to continue to try and kill me!"
Tina grabbed him by the shoulders and pulls him in for a hug. "I know, hun, and I'm terribly sorry about that. By the way, where is my sister?"
"How should I know? I barely got away from her, I ran out of the house screaming then realised five minutes later she wasn't chasing me anymore."
Tina then remembered the unfamiliar scent. "Did you happen to see anyone else?"
"Nope. Just her."
Tina looked down as she said, "I have a very bad feeling about this..."
Elsewhere, laying on her back on the ledge halfway up a cliftside with a fifty foot drop, was Koopa, sighing to herself and doing her best to ignore the huge slashes on her right shoulder, her left arm, and down her left leg.
Down at the foot of the steep drop was the very same wolf demon that had chased her to Tina's house several nights before. His wings where torn with claw and bite marks. Scars covered his back, neck, and right arm and his right eye was closed with a small stream of blood flowing from it.
In a deep and dark voice, he growled up at Koopa, "You always do this. Always with the trees and high places."
Koopa rolled onto her stomach and glared down at him "Well, I'm a freakin cat. What do you expect?"
"Why can't you climb to the top of the cliffs and get away? Your arms hurt too much?" he says with a smile.
"Nope. I'm good right here. Why can't you just fly up here and get me? Your wings hurt too much?"
He roared angrily, "Why don't you just come down and get it over with?"
"Cause I'm not throwin myself to some muscle head mutt like you."
"You'll starve up there..."
"Contrary to popular belief, I can actually last several days without food."
"You'll bleed to death..."
"Great part about my species, we heal fast."
"You think you're so smart...Well it doesn't take long for my wounds to heal, I'll be able to use my wings again soon, then what are you going to do?"
"Heh...take out your other eye."
He growled as a response, then leans against the clift side and starts licking his wounds.
Koopa rolled onto her back once more and stared up at the sky. "Hopefully someone I know will find me and help me...and if not...I hope my arm heals faster than Noxtea's wings..."
