Description ~2~

"What?" Ised said.
"We should get back to my house". Tarashi muttered. Holding the bird.

When they got back, Tarashi set the bird on the small sofa in her room. Then they went bed, it was five in the morning

~Saturday Morning~

Telkcihc slowly woke up. He attempted to move a wing to his head, thinking it would be a hand touching his red hair.. He turned his gaze to two girls laying together on a bed. One with short, spiky black hair and another with long, long hair which the top half was black and then faded halfway to a whitish blond. The two colors together looked completely wrong.
He watched them sleep and eventually fell back asleep too...

~Afternoon~

"... ou think he likes chicken?" "He's a bird!!!" "Peregrine falcons are ‘birds of prey'! That means he eats meat, and sometimes little birds if they look at him wrong!" Tarashi yelled back. Tarashi knew her birds very well. "So you are going to feed him chicken." Ised said. "Well, yeah, unless he'd rather have leafy greens" Tarashi looked at him, now aware that he was awake "Hey Telkcihc, leafy greens or chicken?" The falcon stared for a moment then suddenly attacked the chicken leg that Tarashi was holding out to him. Her eyes widened a little in shock. Ised looked sadly at her hands, holding the veggies the bird didn't want. Telkcihc was now dissecting the leg on the floor. The two girls stared.
Tarashi loved Telkcihc so much, her heart felt so warm staring at him, thinking he was just an ordinary falcon, a bird. She loved birds very much.
Tarashi remembered that they had turn him free soon..

Ised did not want to go anywhere NEAR that falcon. Falcons were way scary. They just look like they would want to rip your fingers off if they got a chance. Ised was about to say something about that when Tarashi went over to the freaky thing and picked him up.
Tarashi was surprised when the bird let her pick him up so easily. She was sure it was going to fuss. She stared in concealed amazement then dug in her pocket until she found a small blue ribbon and then tied it to Telkcihc's ankle, so she would recognize him if she ever saw him again. Ised looked slightly pale.

When the three were outdoors. Tarashi stared at Telkcihc. Just before tossing him into the air she quickly kissed his beak. He stared at her curiously. She threw her hand up and watched him take wing and fly away. When he was out of sight she sank to her knees and cried, her hands on her face.
Ised knew how much it hurt to let him go, but you just can't keep a falcon living in your house. Besides the fact that it's illegal to.
A bit later that day Ised had to go home. Parents are terds sometimes.

~That night~

Tarashi hadn't left her room since Ised left. Her mother started to worry a little. Yeah, she spends most of her time in there, but not this much. She decided to go check on her. She went over to her room, knocked, and went in. Tarashi was laying on her bed, looking lifeless but still awake. The mother began softly "Honey," "birdy". "What?" Tarashi turned her face into her pillow. "Never mind".
Tarashi missed Telkcihc. He was a sweet bird.

~Sometime Monday, during school~

Again, someone muttered it. "Bird-brain". It was beginning to make her VERY angry. Ised approached with tears in her eyes. "Im sorry. I told someone. I know it was a secret, I just couldn't keep my big mouth shut." Tarashi closed her eyes. She knew people were going to find out eventually, but not this soon. Well, it had to be a nice juicy rumor: Tarashi mysticly found a peregrine falcon, took it home, and it was somehow really friendly. Right.

~After school~

Tarashi was about to cry.
They had her surrounded, spitting nasty words at her. They all had something mean to say. Laughing at her was the most fun they've had all year.
Ised had to go home early so she wasn't around to help, even if she could in this situation.
As the derisive laughter at her continued, she could  feel the Psycho side boiling up to the surface. She tried her hardest to keep it down, but it was slipping. ‘Let go' she could feel it say, ‘these people will leave you alone, if you do as I say.' ‘Leave me alone!' she argued back.
They could see her shaking. They were getting to her. —Laughing?
The Psycho side was so close to coming out that she could feel herself laughing. She had no idea when, but she was laying on the ground, tightly curled into a ball. Shaking and now laughing. ‘Oh, just one more second and until I'm free.'
Just then Telkcihc came swooping out of the sky and chased off her cruel school-mates, who were screaming like elementary kids rather than high school students while Telkcihc was trying to recreate a "the birds" scene. When he chased them far away he returned to Tarashi. She looked helpless, clutching herself, laying on the ground, shaking, breathing hard, eyes squeezed tightly shut. Telkcihc had been expecting her to be rather normal, completely sane. As he approached, human, her eyes popped open expecting them to be back. She didn't recognize him, so great was her fear. She relaxed slightly, because of the friendly human presence. She closed her eyes again and passed out.

~?~

Tarashi woke up in the old abandoned apartment she had visited a few times long ago. There was some old furniture in the room one of which she was sleeping on. She looked around dazedly and then laid eyes on the red-haired man, who was watching over her nearby. She recognized him and jumped to her feet. It was the creepy twitching man! She started inching towards the door, never taking her eyes off him, he was hotter when he stared...
"I am Telkcihc.. I've been searching for you for a long time..."
