Eaglemander
We look at each other in silence,other than the fact that glass shards are drenched in blood.Outside,I hear the cries of the eaglemander.Even before she spoke,I run out to my nail station though she calls for me to stay to help with the eaglemander.
Half an hour later,we both clean
up the runway agency,retracing memories of before.I tell her
“I should’ve stayed,I’m sorry.”
All she gives me is a dirty look and a side eye.She is the most sassiest,bossy and rude person ever.All I say is nothing though Sadie still gives me dirties.Rain pours harder and hailstones crash against the window like wondering little kids,throwing rocks at people’s windows for fun.
We both go out and pass Vogue Visions & Glamour Grove.All of them are shut with metal doors.The streets are empty and only a few cars drive,but some stop and ask us for a ride but later left after we said no multiple times.
Sadie pushes me into a building that looks..abandoned.Muddy footsteps are everywhere and astroturf is all over the floor.I run back out in time before she closes the door on me.The hailstones are now just like huge,painful rocks,hitting me and Sadie.I apologise again but she ignores me.Then, I turn into an alleyway and out of the darkness flies another eaglemander squeaking loudly.Then I hear a load stumble and I trip over another eaglemander.Where are they all coming from?
Hardly daring to breathe,I get up and run to where my house is.At that moment,I feel deja vu from when it already happened,I slam the door shut and it almost breaks.Across my living room is..another eaglemander,screeching loudly as it looks in pain.Scared,I run upstairs and slowly close the door and lock it.Is this really happening?
Silently I go back downstairs to check if the eaglemander is still there and unfortunately,it is.I get a closer up.It’s eyes are like a mad person,it’s body covered in blood shards.The stench of seaweed and salt fills my house and slowly it turns to me with wide,open eyes,like it wants to kill me.Like a normal eagle it screeches some more and goes towards me.
The eaglemander gets up on its thin feet and tries to fly but fails.It tries again and finally,it leaves with a loud screech and leap.It smashes through the rest of the glass in the window,and bounces,falling into the water.It’s selfish eyes stare at me with disgust and its needle teeth open wide.It screams like a human then springs away like a bunny.
