Angered by his nieces unseemly show of defiance, her uncle stormed up the stairs and stopped in front of her closed door and pounded on it with one fist.  "Young lady, we have been over this many times before. Its not proper for a young lady of your social standing to be off gallivanting. We only want what is best for you Annabel. Lobelia Academy is one of the best schools money can buy and you will be making friends with young lady's your age." He stepped back slightly, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.<br/><br/>â€œYou will pack tonight and first thing tomorrow you will get on that carriage and you will go to that school. As for that.....creature, it will be back in a cage were it belongs." He stepped away from the door and strode down the hall to his study.<br/><br/><br/>He looked down at her and lowered his head more so she could better reach better taking some small measure of comfort from the gentle touch. He huffed softly in irritation at the news and growled softly when he heard pounding on the door.  "I do not want to lose you." And he did not want to be forced into a cage and have a thick collar placed around his neck again so he could be gawked at by humans or worse and he would lose the only human he trusted and considered to be a friend.<br/><br/>The corners of his mouth twitched at the unwelcome thought.<br/><br/>"Then we leave. Tonight. Pack up what you need, I can carry most of it." He tilted his head, looking hopeful, wings twitching in anticipation. As insulting as it was to be used as a beast of burden he was far stronger then she was. Far as he was concerned leaving was a good idea. It didn't matter where they went as long as they had each other and as long as it was far away from this place.
