Lately, Avi had been limping everywhere. I hopped over to her.
"What do you think of Jack?" I asked. I wanted my family to like my boyfriend.
She thought for a second. "I don't know. I'll get back to you later."
I smiled, but quickly frowned. "What's wrong, Avi? You've been limping and hiding away from us."
Her face was pale and sweating. She had wrapped her wing tightly around her side. Her usually pure-white feathers looked like they were dipped in a red substance. My face became twice as pale as hers.
“Avi.” I said. “What’s wrong?”
Avi mumbled something unintelligible.
“Avi. Let go of your side.” Her wing grip loosened.
“More.” Hesitantly, she removed her wing from her side and crumpled to the floor. My eyes first scanned her side. The reality didn’t hit me at first. I just looked at it, confused. Then reality set into my mind, heavy as a brick. Dark purple rills of blood were streaming off of her side, from a huge gash. It was deep…you could see her…nevermind. I gasped as my eyes focused on the tiny details of her wound. Good thing Emma was away…wait. Where was Emma?!
Great. Two people I had to worry about. It was just easier to worry about Avi because I knew where she was…she was right in front of me, bleeding to death. Her wings were limp, and doused in the blood she was trying to hide.
I made sure no one was looking.
I dragged her outside. I grabbed handfuls of snow and iced her wound with it. She winced, even though she was unconscious.
I turned into a dragon.
Carefully, gently, I took off a scale, broke it in eighths, and turned back into a human.
Since I was now human, the scale seemed giant. It was plenty large enough for Avi’s wound. Heck, it was the size of Avi. Good thing I had the sense to break it into eighths while I still had the strength of a dragon.
I removed the snow, and the gash seemed less serious. At least it wasn’t an angry flaming red. Now that I cleaned up the wound, it looked less inflamed.
I set the scale on the gash, gently and carefully. It shot off beams of shining light. After all, it was a Platinara scale. Platinara scales shine like mirrors, like platinum. I watched as the beams coming from the scale intensified, covering my eyes. It was like a supernova had exploded in her. Rays of light encased her small body.
Finally the light died down and I looked upon Avi. She was fresh-looking. Her cheeks were fuller, instead of being sallow and hollow. Her beak shone a brighter shade. Her skin was clear and bright. Her bloody wings were cleaned up. And most importantly, her wound was healed. Covered with new skin as if nothing happened. I smiled.
Avi opened her eyes. Her eyes were bright, shining like diamonds. “Thank you so much Alice!” she leapt up and hugged me. Her eyes grew wide.
“What did you do to make me better?”
“Shh. You can’t tell anyone I healed you, okay?”
She nodded. We headed back to the house, looking for Emma.
I hoped no one saw.
But I suppose we can't get everything we want.
