Wally was dragging me out of the mountain and into Happy Harbor." Where are we going!" I ask as he pulls me to a motorcycle that has been painted yellow and black.

"Off to Neverland! Nah... just kidding. I'm gonna show you Happy Harbor, you look like you could use a tour guide!" He said hopping on the bike and putting on a helmet. He tossed me one and I look down at my clothes. I close my eyes and and concentrate on changing my outfit." Wow! That's awesome!!!" I heard Wally say and I look down at my new outfit. I smile and hop on the bike putting on the helmet." Hold on!" Wally said humorously and I laugh. Why is this not awkward? I think as he starts up the bike, I gasp and wrap my arms around his waist holding on tight. He laughs at my sudden movement and I punch him in the shoulder as he pulls out into the beautiful, yet small town.

"It's beautiful..." I say in awe as we ride by shops and stores. Wally pulls into a parking lot and we get off." Where are we?" I say setting down the helmet. Wally smiles at me, and I laugh." What?" I ask playfully punching him.

"We can go wherever you want. I just needed to park, so let's go!" He said linking arms with me. Wow! Cliche much Wally? I laugh and look around. I sigh as I breath in the fresh autumn air, I notice that Wally is starring. I raise my eyebrow at him and he looks away.

"Let's go... there!" I say pointing to a small park near by. Wally picks me up bridal style and speeds over to a clear bench." Wow..." I gasp and look at all of the fallen leaves. I notice a pile near us and I push Wally into it, he falls down and leaves fly everywhere! I laugh and he pulls me down to join him into the leave pile-or what's left of it!" Ahh! Wally! Stop... wait!" I say sitting up, he is about to say something but I shush him. I slowly get up and look around. They found me! I thought to myself as an arrow whisked by my head. I turn and catch it full speed, and notice the note on it.

"Nicole! What... how did you do that?" He asks but my eyes are glued to the arrow in my hands. I slowly pull the note off and open it up reading the message carefully...

We found you! We will kill you, don't think we won't. You betrayed us and now you'll pay! Goodbye Nicole, our little Talon. Catcha later!
~~~ Court of Owls

I gasp and put my hand over my mouth. They found me... I gotta get outa here!!!" I have to go..." I tell Wally turning around and running away. I am crying now and more memories flood in like a river...

I threw the ball of magic but I don't aim for the man, I aim for my master." I shall not kill this man!" I say to him as he dodges. He growls at me and pulls out his sword, I do the same.

"You ungrateful little street rat! We took you in, you work for us! Kill him or I kill you..." he told me. I gulp and get into a fighting stance, I breath in as he charges at me swinging his blade fiercely. I move and swing my blade, it makes contact with his shoulder and he grunts. I move swiftly and kick his leg making him fall onto the floor.

"Looks like you taught me too well!" I say putting my blade away and jumping out the window which shatters. Glass flys everywhere as I free fall towards the floor. I was three stories up.

"Ahhh!!!"

I stumble forward a couple of steps and Wally catches me. I am breathing heavily, and I pull away from the redhead." No! They can't catch me, they'll kill me!" I yell running away again, but only to be grabbed by Wally. I struggle but he's too strong, I fall to my knees and cry with Wally still holding on to me." Wally please. I don't want anyone to get hurt, before I met you I met the wrong kind of people. I was running away, I have to do it again before someone dies..." I whisper under my breath and Wally holds me tighter.

"Tell me everything."
