            I was in the middle of the woods. I could see nothing but trees for miles and miles. So I guessed a direction and started flying off towards it.

            About ten minutes later, I arrived behind my house. I saw no car in the driveway so I knew that Sylvia wasn’t hiding in the house. The house was dark, no lights on.

            I folded in my wings and landed with a soft thud by the back door. I walked up the steps and tried the doorknob. Locked.

            I grabbed the chain around my neck and pulled out a key. I stuck it in the lock and unlocked the door. I stepped in and locked the door once again.

            I stepped out in the hallway and flipped on a switch. Light gushed out of the light above on the ceiling. I looked to my left, where the activity room was and saw all the curtains open. I went over to each window, closed it, locked it, and pulled the curtains over them.

            With the windows secured, I walked to the other end of the house. I checked the windows there as well, I closed two windows in the bay window and pulled the shades on all three. I turned on the TV so there was some noise besides my feet on the soft, shag carpeting.

            I checked the front door; it was locked and dead-bolted. Odd, I would have been sure that Sylvia would have come in and hid. I smelled the doorknob. Nope, didn’t smell like her. Oh, did I mention that I also had an amazing sense of smell? Yeah, I think that’s one of the other traits I’ve inherited.

            I pulled the curtains over the sliding door in the kitchen and then collapsed on the couch. I was beat. I looked up at the clock; a quarter to Midnight. I wasn’t even tired anymore. Sure I was exhausted, but I wasn’t tired.

            I warmed up left over cottage cheese and noodles and sat in front of the computer. I signed onto AOL to check my mail.

            Nothing but junk mail. So I deleted the junk and logged into Myspace. My life was at Myspace. At least on there, I didn’t have to explain the reason I had gigantic wings on my back. Oh sure, they were in my profile pictures, but no one’s asked. They probably all think that it’s a digital effect of Halloween costume or something.

            I had one new message. I clicked on my inbox. It was from Sylvia. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read it, but I had to. I mean, I don’t want to completely avoid the poor girl, I just don’t want to date her anymore.

            I shivered. What did she do to Squish? Squish was my pet Python. I’ve had him for about four years now.

            I deleted the message and stood up. I went to the fourth bedroom and clicked on the light. I went over to the aquarium and noticed the problem right away. Squish was missing! Sylvia had kidnapped Squish!

            I couldn’t believe it. She refused to even look in the room, stating that she hated snakes, but here she had completely stolen him? What was going on?

            I ran back to the computer and sent a message to her.

I hit send and bowed my head. I prayed about my problem.

            I looked up at the screen. A knock-knock had popped up. It was Pastor. I accepted and IMed him.
