The girl and The Guardian owl

Chapter 1 Aiyana’s P.O.V I was walking home to my daughter when a barn owl came flying at me. “OMG, I am so sorry”. The owl said to me. Wait …said to me? “AHHHHHHHH”!! I screamed. The owl screamed back. ‘Wait I’m just going crazy’. I thought to myself. “If you’re thinking you’ve gone crazy then you’re wrong. No, you haven’t gone crazy, I do talk, and you can hear me, which is weird”. The barn owl said. “You can talk, and you think me being able to hear you are weird”? I asked. “Yes, because most humans can’t hear us which is hard when we are trying to warn you guys are in danger”. The owl said. “First off I’m not human and second off you’ve been rambling on and haven’t told me who you are”. I said to them. “Oh, right I’m Zoie, What’s your name”? She asked me. ‘I can’t believe I’m talking with a barn owl named Zoie’. I thought. “My name is Aiyana”. I told her. “Nice to meet you Aiyana. I’m your Guardian owl. I’ve been watching over you since you were a baby”. Zoie said. “Wait what is a Guardian owl”? I asked her. “It’s like a Guardian angel but instead of angels, we’re owls. We are assigned to people who already aren’t human or are about to become not human”. She told me. “Oh. Wait why did you seem surprised that I could hear you if you already know I wasn’t human”? I asked Zoie. “Because your parents had said that you probably not be able to become your true self. They were worried because since your mom was in the transformation from being mortal to a wolf/demon/angel/vampire when she was giving birth to you so they thought that you would stay mortal”. She told me. “Well, I’m not. When I was ten, I started my change after I found out my mom had died because of my grandma. I got my wolf and angel side first. Then when I was 17, I got my vampire and demon side. Last year though I got a fox hybrid. I can’t believe you knew my parents Zoie”. I told her. “I was devastated when I found out about your mother Aiyana, I am so sorry”. She told me. “What I can’t believe even more is you waited until now to show yourself”. I told her. “We aren’t allowed to show ourselves unless we need to, which brings me to my next topic, why I’m here. Your dad is in grave danger Aiyana. He went in on a mission by himself and got himself caught by your ex”. She told me. “And you need me because why”? I asked. “Because your ex has some requests which one is she wants to talk to you. I know you aren’t happy with your dad because he wasn’t here when your mom died but I know you can’t afford to lose your dad too”. She told me. I broke down into tears. “Look even if I wanted to help him which I do, I have no one to watch Kenzie”. I said. I wiped my face. “I have everything all covered. We can change into human form, and I asked one of my trusted friends to watch her. Speaking of which she should be there by now”. She said. I rushed home. I opened the door and saw my very first best friend. “Lilac what are you doing here”? I asked hugging her. “I’m here to babysit Kenzie while you are gone to save your dad”. She told me. “Thank you for doing this. Wait how do you know Zoie”? I asked her. She turned into an owl. “oh”. I said. She turned back into a human. “I’m your daughter’s Guardian owl anyways so I was happy to help you out”. She said. “Well thanks I’m sure Kenzie will be happy to see you again”. I told her. I went to my bedroom and packed my duffle bag for the mission, which my dad was stupid enough to get caught by my dragon ex-girlfriend Lavander. After I packed my bag, I went to Kenzie’s room. She had headphones on and was listening to my I-pod. I tapped her on her shoulder. She jumped. “Mom what are you doing here you should be on your mission”. She told me. “You weren’t listening to music were you”? I asked her. “No, I wasn’t I was eavesdropping, and you have to save Grandpa’s mom I would like to meet him someday and tell mother I say hi and that I hope I can see her soon”. She told me. “I will I promise. Be good my little monkey”. I told her. “I will I promise”. She told me. I kissed her on the head and then left.
