To fly
Hello! Welcome to my first fan fiction. I have been coming to this site for a while and I only just got an account. So, please review.
"Come on Matthew! You can do it!" called out Matthew's mom, trying to be supportive of his Snowy Owl son.
No I can't. It's too scary, thought Matthew at the edge of his nest. Most owls were excited when it was their First Flight Ceremony. Matthew was just scared. His parents said he could. He had seen them fly many times. But what would happen if he wasn't strong enough? He would fall.
As if sensing his mood, his mother said, "Son, you have to believe. If you don't, I guarantee you will fall."
Believe? thought Matthew, I haven't tried that. "Okay mom," he called out. "I will."
Focus. You are a creature of the sky. It's a part of you, and you a part of it. He took a deep breath, all fear forgotten. He flapped once, twice… and he was off! Pure joy radiated through him as he flew. He zoomed all around the tree he and his family lived in. He flew to a tree near his own and saw one of his friends take off. It had all been arranged that they would have their first flight ceremony together. Soon, he found another one of his friends and they all flew together. They flew for an hour or two and, one by one, they went back to their families. But he stayed up for a while, content to be alone in the dark, starry sky. So, Matthew thought. This is what it is like to fly. To be free. I am free. Free.
So, how was it? Please review and no flames please. And I know it's short. Also, check out my new fic coming soon.
