The following morning was like every other one.
Jack and I were inseparable. Everywhere one went, the other followed. I softened his heart. I began breaking through his cool outer shell, and it revealed a warm, kind guy underneath the smirking outside layer.
Curled on the couch, we sat together watching some romantic comedy. Well, not really watching. Just letting the movie play as background noise while we sat there and enjoyed each others' presence. It was a warm, happy little mushy-gushy scene.
I was lost in thought. That bird girl was troubling me. It was mean how Peregrine was going to kill her pet dragon, but there was something underneath that. I felt a strange connection to this girl...a big sisterly connection. And I knew that Peregrine wasn't going to stop at killing her pet. She was going to delve much deeper, into deeper layers that would never heal. She would traumatize this girl, and kill her from the inside out.
"You okay love?" Jack looked down at me, his gray bunny ears cocking slightly.
I beamed. "I'm fine. Just give me a second." I hummed my tune, and the mirror came to me. Jack watched in silence.
"Mirror..." I said. The mirror and I were good friends. The mirror actually had a soul and a personality. It was just like a person...just with a body that was a handheld mirror.
"Hi Talon. How are you." The mirror was prim and proper, but could be sarcastic and rowdy and all around a whole lot of fun.
"Show me...the bird girl that Peregrine wants."
A girl appeared on the mirror. She was yawning...I suppose she had just woken up. She got up and inspected her back in a large mirror on the wall. What was she looking for?
"She's looking for wings." The mirror knew me so well, it knew what I was thinking. It couldn't read thoughts, it was just very well acquainted with how I work.
"Tell me everything you know about her."
"Well I know everything about her, how do you expect me to do so...?" I could hear the smile in Mirror's voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Just give me the basics."
"Fine. She's half bird, half girl. She has a pet dragon, which is a Platinaria brought from the dark side." I could hear the surprise in her voice.
"She's young. The youngest in her family. And she's destined to marry a bird-boy of her kind."
"You forgot her name."
"Excuse me?"
"Her NAME, Mirror." I rolled my eyes. Jack snickered. He thought it was funny how I was talking to Mirror so casually, like a real person. Mirror's real name was Reflecta, but I called her Mirror.
"Oh. Her name. Avi."
A bell went off in my head. I remembered that name from somewhere, I don't know where, though.
"Okay mirror. Thanks."
"Your wish is my command." She put on a snooty, butler-like voice.
She lingered in the air, hanging there.
"Um, Mirror...leave us alone!" I laughed. The roses carved into Mirror's sides turned bright red, her way of blushing.
"Sorry." Mirror quickly flitted away.
I laughed and curled myself into Jack's arms, now fully tucked under his hold. It was my favorite place to be, secured in his hold like that.
"How are you, my favorite Slovakian Wedgehorn." I bopped his nose, like someone taught me. I don't remember who taught me to bop noses, all I remember was them doing it to me repetitively.
"I'm good. How are you, my favorite Platinara." He tucked my hair behind my ear. I blew it back.
"I don't like my hair behind my ears."
"I do."
I huffed. "Fine." I let him tuck it behind my ear again.
Curled up, I started to drift off.
I don't NEED a portal to go to Spirit Land.
The other way to get there is to think about it before you sleep.
And that's what I did.
I met a certain bird-girl while I was there.
