"Oh? It's not a good enough excuse?" Misty lowered her voice and coldly into Toby's eyes, "then I guess being psychopathic which I'll say is a literal mental disorder, and a ruthless murderer isn't a good enough excuse either?" She asked. Memories danced around in her mind from the past, the time when she was 17. Every single person she killed haunted her. The look of terror, hatred, courage, all of it. She knew they wouldn't win, but they thought they had a chance against her. Well, they didn't, and now she has to live with the face of every single person she killed in her mind. But because she killed all those people, she saved so many hundreds of thousands from being killed.
Words echoed in her mind from her former best friend Grant
"Misty, sometimes, you have to make things worse to make them better, y'know?"
(I have no freaking clue where I am going with this but screw it)
Zion looked at Toby but ignored him and turned to his mom.
Misty growled at Rivers call and ran over to Zion and Delilah. She gently picked up her daughter and held her in her arms. "Zion go help Lachlan Blenddyn and Wolfram, you were with them. Now go be with them, I can take care of your sister."
Zion shyly nodded and turned to run over to them but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He turned back and saw his mother staring softly into his eyes, "Zion be courageous," she murmured. Then placed a kiss on his forehead, turned him around and shoved him towards Lachlan and the others.
Zion sprinted over to the others, they were all incredibly wounded. It was at times like these where he wished that he had multitasking powers like his mother. He watched them for a moment and decided he had a plan. He shifted into his eagle form and hid behind some walls, his smaller skin would be less noticeable but he still had to be stealthy. He silently flew around the area where the entire battle was going on and landed a few feet behind Mapleshade. If things got worse he would strike. His heart pounded in terror but his mother's words echoed through his mind, "Zion, be courageous," and he decided right then and there that he would be. He was going to do something for one in his life besides hide.
Zion took a deep breath and jumped up into the air and swooped down onto Mapleshades head, he clawed at her exposed face and batted her head with his powerful wings. The feeling of his talons sinking into her flesh and ripping out was all too surreal, it made him sick to his stomach but he didn't want to see his friends die. The majority of them were all so wounded and he was the only one who wasn't. So he was finally taking a stand, he was being courageous.
Chunks of muscle and blood splattered everywhere, his wings were aching from beating them against Mapleshade but he still continued to do so. He had to do
something, especially to make up for Delilah attacking Wolfram at the Pancake house.
Zion shut his eyes and continued to attack Mapleshade, his legs and wings screamed in agony but he had a feeling that Mapleshade was in even more agony then he was. Blood dripped down his talons and sprayed onto his feathers making them sticky, he hated the feeling but he had to do this.
For everyone, he thought to himself
