Chapter Two

No matter what, I owe her.

Drake watched the woman drive away, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. He barely kept it reined in, and he felt his control slip now and then. But he couldn’t just let her vanish to never be seen again. Looking around for any potential witnesses, though he didn’t truly care if there were any, he leaped skyward. The darkness would hide him, but he had to move fast to keep her in sight.

There she is. He flew high enough to keep from being seen and to avoid power lines, but low enough so he could keep her in sight. Soaring easily on the early evening breeze, he pondered both his exile and the woman. She is so beautiful. Picturing her in his mind held some of his rage at bay. Her large hazel eyes staring into his with defiance and courage, and the trace of fear behind them.

What does she have to be afraid of? She has a weapon and certainly knows how to use it. He followed her as she turned down corners, stopping to let other vehicles have the right of way, thinking about her long hair, her slender figure. She intrigued him, and once his curiosity had been aroused, he couldn’t rest until it was satisfied.

At last, she drove the vehicle into a house, and the door closed. Drake circled in and landed gently on the single-story house’s roof, furling his wings. He could hear her inside, opening and closing doors. Then something else caught his attention. Below, on the ground, bushes rustled as something large tried to push through them.

Drake craned his head over the edge of the roof and saw a man trying to peer in through the woman’s windows. He moved with stealth and had garbed himself in all black. To a human’s pitiful night vision, he’d have been almost invisible. Though Drake did not know a great deal about humans and their customs, he did know that the man’s activities were wrong.

Changing forms, Drake readied himself, gazing down to the spot where the man was. Then he jumped.

The male yelled out as Drake landed in the bushes with him, the stiff branches raking his skin. Letting his fury loose, he grabbed the man by his shoulders and threw him over the hedge and onto the grassy lawn.

“What are you doing here?” he roared, emerging from the bushes to pounce.

“Nothing,” he cried, scuttling away as Drake loomed over him.

A light suddenly came on, brightening the yard with almost full illumination. Drake half-turned, seeing the woman standing in the open doorway, her weapon in her hand. Taking advantage of his distraction, the man scrambled to his feet. Drake sought to grab him, but the fellow was faster than he anticipated.

The man bolted, running across the yard to the street, then vanished into the night. Only the sounds of his feet on the pavement came back, then they, too, were gone. Uncertain if he should chase the fellow down or just let him go, Drake glanced at the woman who had saved him from the ruffians.
