Tears, C. Starr [some good books to read .txt] 📗

Chapter 1

“Hey! Phoenix! Let’s dive!” Mars called. I looked over at him, and grinned, “Ok!” I shouted over the wind.
I counted to three, and simultaneously, me and Mars both jumped off the cliff.
We slowly turned our bodies downwards towards the ground, our hair streaming back, and our hands pinned to our sides.
I grinned as the ground drew ever closer, and almost laughed as I saw the tips of the jagged rocks below coming straight for me. I turned to Mars, and nodded.
He nodded back, he knew what to do.
I closed my eyes, 1,2,3.

I bent my back slightly, and felt the tickle of feathers between my shoulder blades.
BOOM
Seconds later, I shot upwards, and Mars followed.
...flap...flap...flap...
I strecthed out my wings and shook my head.
Yep, that's what I said...or wrote. I have wings.
Yes, I have wings, but it's a long story, and I guess I should tell it.


Chapter 2

It was like any normal day. I went to school, learnt, and went home.
It was at home that everything went wrong.
I walked into the house, and shivered slightly, as I felt the cold blast of air from the air con. Mum always left it on.
"Mum! I'm home!"
"Hello darling! Can you come to the front room please?" she called.
"Sure! I'll be there in a second!"
