Another One

Connie blended in with the night and the dark wall as she crept along the street, her wings tucked behind her shoulders and her hair tied up in a braid. She didn't know where she was going or why. All she knew was that she needed to get away from all those terrible people with their stupid ideas about leaving. People ran by, cars whizzed high above the alleys, sirens wailed, chasing hooded figures jumping from building to building.

"Connie?" The voice was almost too quiet to hear as she whipped around.

"Cornibus Ales!" The voice said again. Connie scanned the pile of rubble left from a recent explosion, the deserted alleyway, and saw notjing. But something moved, suddenly, out of the shadows. A boy who she knew, strongly, distinctly, she recognized him. From where? What time?

"David?" She asked. She did not know how she knew it was him, but she did. "David..." His face was revealed in a shaft of moonlight, and she knew that she had guessed correctly.

"David Caelum? How... how are you here? I thought... I thought..." But then he was hugging her, tightly, and she couldn't believe that it was really him.

"Connie! Where are the others! Aviance and Vol, of course, Cantilena, Jupiter, Becca- and don't forget Nebula!" He exclaimed, looking around. "I'm sorry I've been gone... I was captured and taken far away, and I'e spent the last five years trying to get back. I need to speak to Cantilena immediately, and the other Elders, I... Connie?" Somehting on her face made him stop.

"They're gone, David," she said grimly.

"All of them?" He looked horror-struck.

"Me, Aviance, and Vol are the only ones left. Except Shadow, Brynn, and Rieux... Rieux works for Catastrophe, Shadow helps run the Resistance, and Brynn is seven and the Angel of Death. The rest of them... five years ago, when Catastrophe destroyed our home and you were captured, they were taken as well. So were all of us. Aviance, Vol and I escaped to the streets of SailHaven, and... that's where we've lived ever since. We thought you were dead." She sighed and grabbed his arm. We need to go to the resistance base... I need to take you to the others." As she grabbed his arm, his hood slipped down and she saw his face again, his dark hair falling in his eyes, his big, deep, dark eyes...

"Let's go." She flapped her wings and they both flew up into the dark sky, Connie leading the way.

"Um... Connie?"

"Yes?"

"What's the Resistance?" Connie sighed again. He had a lot of catching up to do.

P.S. CAPTCHA says benb. Bend? You want me to bend over? No, you're saying I should... bend the story? The plot? That's what I'm trying to do by adding this thread. No? No? You could never be satisfied.
