Chapter one: Waking Up

Lyrics POV

The first thing that I remember is that the sun had the ability to fry my eyelids. Why? Because that was exactly what it was doing when I woke up. Groaning I rolled over to the side, thus bashing my hip against a boulder while a rock stabbed my stomach. The first thing I remember seeing was the edge of the cliff about five feet from me. Still moaning slightly I looked up at blue sky and around me. I was in a canyon or a wide basin with shear cliff walls and an opening in the west at just the right angle for the sun to show when rising. I probably was going to get a sun burn. Where was this place on the map? I didn't know. What day it was, or even year? Didn't know. Who the heck was I? No idea. Taking a deep breath I racked my brain trying to remember anything. What came to me was one word, Lyric. I was Lyric. Along with that a slight sharp ache jabbed my head and in mind's eye I saw a small red ceramic lizard placed by a blue and white vase, and nestled by a white feather. Very helpful, not. Sighing I turned around to face the ledge behind me. Someone else was there dressed in black. Her face shaded by a scraggly bush which protected her from the sun. As I looked at her resting against two bags I knew who she was. She was Trinity and one of my close friends. I got a mental picture of her standing by a locker with a green lock. Sitting on a rock I stretched; my back shifted and something black and feathery started to come out of two slits in the back of my shirt which I hadn't noticed. Then I freaked. I had wings. Trying not to scream I took deep breaths and quickly retracted the wings. Leaning back I surveyed the scenery below me surprising panic and waiting. Waiting for Trinity, my friend, to wake up.

Trinity's POV

K, so from what I can remember, I woke up with a shadow across my face. A bush. Nice. I could also remember that my name was Trinity. It was night fall and really dark, yet warm. I figured I must have been in some type of dessert. Then I got up and looked around. I guess the sudden movement kinda threw me off because I, well, kinda up-chucked, if you know what I mean. It was all over my black jacket. That's when I took it off and realized I had wings! It's not easy to surprise me, but that sure did it. I let them shag out and they were incomparably black against the night sky. That's when I noticed a girl lying next to me. The one thing that I could remember is Lyric, one of my closest friends and first person I'd pick to be out in this desert like this. Well, actually, she's the only person I knew. I walked over, slowly, and tapped her with a shoe. She awoke startled. "Sorry, I was taking a nap," she said with her eyes closed.
"Good to know I'm in safe hands." I said.
"I had a bad headache earlier." She replied.
"Bummer." I never really was the sympathetic type, or so I think. "You ok?" she asked. I nodded and she got up and dusted herself off. "Is there anyone else with us?" She asked.
"Don't think so."
"Let's look just in case." Then I realized that she had black wings with white splatters. She quickly pulled them in, or at least tried to. "I have them to." I said quietly. I pulled them out and showed her. She was in awe as she looked at my ebony wings. I was in awe as I looked at hers too. She had black wings with gold tear dropped streaks. "This is so weird." She said as she clutched her head. Another headache. I had a feeling I was gonna be seeing a lot of those

Lyrics POV

Something nudged me awake, Trinity. "Sorry, I was taking a nap.", I murmured. My eyes where still closed as tried not freak out again. Taking a nap had been a good idea. When I was asleep I could forget about not remembering anything, headaches, and discovering that I was a freak. Trinity said, "Good to know I'm in safe hands." Whatever, "I had a bad headache earlier." "Bummer." I could practically hear her eyes rolling. As I got up and brushed dirt off of me I asked "You ok?" She nodded. "Is there anyone else with us?" I questioned her. "Don't think so." she answered. "Let's look just in case." But, Trinity wasn't really paying attention. She was looking behind me a
little off to the side. I looked over my shoulder and down, dang. My wings had unfolded while I slept and now fanned out halfway behind me; interesting, they had gold streaks in the black. I quickly tried to pull them in. They did not go through the slits in my shirt but folded neatly on top of it. "I have them too." Trinity said softly, and unfolded midnight colored wings with few bans near the bottom. The bans were a purple so dark they nearly where black. I managed to say, "This is so weird." before a
spike of pain rammed into my head.

"owwwww" I moaned a few minutes later when the pain finally receded enough that I could speak coherently. "What was that?" Trinity asked me from her perch on a rock beside me.
"Memory flash back with revenge."
"What did you remember?"
"Something golden brown, light, and warm, along with the word aerial. You know like air and flying." , I said as I scanned my surroundings again. Trinity was in short sleeves and a black jacket was spread out on the bush she had been by. The jacket had some nasty looking throw up on it. Sighing I turned back to Trinity. "At least you didn't hit the bags."
"What bags", then "Oh"

"Yep, the brown one is mine." How did I know that? No clue.

End of Chapter 1!
