《The Mysterious Secret》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I woke with a start, opening my eyes only to see I was stuck in a cage. But then I realized I wasn't my normal self. I had shifted into a falcon. I apparently had shifted when I was knocked out, and then was transferred into this cage. I looked around and took in my surroundings. I appeared to be in an office of some type and my cage was positioned on the chair in front of a the desk were some papers and nameplate saying 'Victor James, Director of Operations'. Then it hit me, Hannah wasn't here. I started squawking for Hannah when eventually I heard her. I would hate myself if she got hurt.
"Ugh, my head", she said.
"Hannah, are you okay?" I asked her frantically.
"No, are you?" She said, her form a falcon as well.
"Good point", I looked around. "Do you know what happened? I can't remember a thing."
She looked around, "A little, but not much. Do you want to know?" She replied drowsily.
"Yes please. All I remember is a gun going off, I thought I was dead." Then I remembered a little bit. I had been shot! I fluffed up my feathers in search for any wound, but I found none.
"Don't worry, you aren't wounded. What I remember is the man that was there shot you with some sort of stun gun. You immediately were knocked out and you fell to the ground unconscious. I tried to drag you to the exit but the man caught up and called in others. I tried to hold them off but I was overpowered and they held me back and dragged me into a cage. Then someone else shot me with a stun gun and I was knocked out as well. Now I'm here, and that's all I remember."

"Wow, who are these people? 'Cause they sure don't seem nice." I said. Then the door opened and in walked a man wearing a well kept suit and tie. He walked calmly over with his hands folded behind his back. He stopped behind the desk and sat down. He grabbed out a couple files and tapped them nicely on the desk. Hannah and me stared at him, a-little curious, a-little scared, but mostly angry. Then he looked at us and smiled.
"I see you had a nice nap." He grinned more. "I also see you are both kitsune."
"What are you doing down there! There are animals, but not animals. What have you done!?" Hannah yelled. The man ceased his smile and grimaced.
"You, and your friend here have trespassed and are hereby subject for testing. You meddled with my studies and attempted escape. This is not excusable, either we will erase you memories, or not. This is still to be decided by my board." He stood up, swiped the files, and left the room. Astonished, and taken back. Me and Hannah stood there thinking, 'What have we gotten into?'

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!
