Prologue

Two Years Earlier

The trees stirred in the silence of the cold winter night. No one was out. Of course not, it was less than thirty degrees outside. The slight breeze that was passing through the countryside was the first in a few hours, but it brought with it warmth strong enough to melt the icicles off of the tree branches it swam through. Its goal was to successfully navigate out of the forest, but it hadn't expected the quaint town to be standing in its path. It went too far, alarming an adolescent girl out of her night's rest by the tickle of the wind that passed through the solid walls of her house. It was odorless, the air, but there was something off about its presence on one of the coldest nights the teenager had experienced yet. She squinted; trying to see what had intruded her room and bothered her sleep. A dog lay on her lap, startled awake by the girl's restlessness and started to bark madly, bringing the rest of the family into her small bedroom. They were eased by the sudden warmth, the baby boy's cries silenced by the comfortable air of the room. The air wasn't still, though, and it found odd comfort by the presence of a younger girl.

All of a sudden, two angular ovals - the shapes of eyes, really - became visible, the shapes glowed a bright blue. The room froze; the family went unconscious as a whole, dropping to the floor unharmed. They were in another world, smiles on their sleeping faces, content with their imagination. But the younger adolescent was still standing, eyes wide with fear, and the hairs on the back of her neck standing straight up.

From the two eyes came a large bubble, which spread around her and the glowing shapes. From inside the orb, the outside looked tinted, and the eyes revealed a floating body with wings that weren't quite wings on a bird as much as they were wings on an airplane, with the sole purpose of balance. The creature was white, with a blue stomach, as well as its wings, and on its forehead a blue triangle outline. Two blue spots were on its side, which suddenly popped out to reveal they were arms.

The creature's eyes closed, focusing, an almost quizzical look on its face. It opened its eyes again, still glowing, and reassurance and astonishment was visible in its features. It closed its eyes again, its mouth forming silent syllables, and a bright white light erupted from its palms, which were joined together in front of the girl.

When the light dissipated, a small orb about the size of a human's hand was resting in the creature's palms. Its eyes opened, the blue glow fading to reveal red, tired eyes. Its irises begged the girl to take the item, and she did obediently.

As she pocketed the strange object, the bubble surrounding her and the creature shrank until it was nothing, and the only thing visible was a thin outline of the creature.

The girl dropped to the floor.


AN

First off, thank you for reading. This is my first story ever published or written. I admit, it was written on my iPod originally, because I was bored one day. But I want to become a beta reader, so I figured I need to publish something, why not this random story?

A lot of the story includes aspects of my life, the main character is based off of me, and you'll see more of that the earlier chapters.

Please review, I'd like some feedback. I plan to post new chapters on a weekly basis, but chapter one will be posted tomorrow just in case I can't get any internet access in a week. I'm moving to Illinois.
