I didn't know how I got here. All I remember was that one minute I was in my room watching TV and all of the sudden I'm in a forest. It was dark, really dark. And the trees were huge! I couldn't go an inch without falling headfirst into oblivion. Walking is impossible so how the hell do I get out? I'll fly. The answer was so simple, so natural. I knew I could fly.
I raised my arms to shoulder-length and chanted, "Tynnu allan fy pŵer a gwneud fy adenydd. Gadewch i mi i hedfan drwy eich parth." I blinked once, twice and felt disappointed. There weren't any wings, and then suddenly I heard it. A voice in my head that spoke to my soul. And I knew I wasn't done, there was more to the spell.
"Gwnewch yn fy adenydd gwyn pur allan o'ch parth, y Sky." There was a tingling feeling in the back of my head. I felt so light, so happy, so… free. I opened my eyes and saw everything. I looked in front of me and saw every single tree. Where it once was black and full of the unknown is now clear, bright and beautiful. I looked up and saw all the leaves on the tree. Everything was glowing, reflecting light. But from where?
When I finally decided to look down, I gasped in amazement. I had wings and they were white! Solid white wings with a luminescent glow to it, I moved my wings around and found it responding to my every thought. I braced myself, ready to fly. And I jumped…
I jolted out my bed. Gray morning light was pouring out of my window. I glanced at the clock; it was 6:30 am. I had just enough time to get dressed and get to the bus on time. When I got out of bed, something fluttered to the floor. I looked down and my eyes widened in surprise. It was a white feather. The same white feather that was on my back, last night… in my dream.
I quickly looked at my back and was relieved that I didn't find any wings. My adenydd. I was also kind of disappointed though – Wait what was that? I was so surprised, I looked at myself in the mirror, "What the FUG? Come one, Alice! You can speak a language that you don't even know and still fail French!" I gave myself a long look and –
"Alice! Hurry Up! Daniel's here!" my mom called up the stair.
"Yea, sure! I'm down" I jumped down the stair, pounced on a dumbstruck Daniel and yelled, "Giddy-up Dogma!" I giggled when he threw my off. I ran out and was off running to the bus stop when I realized my phone was gone. It probably fell out when Daniel threw me off of him. I ran back home but the stopped at the doorway when I heard…
"Alice, doesn't know anything?" Daniel asked with a genuine curiosity.
"Yes. We got her back before she fully awakened it." Awakened what? They got me back from what? From where? I had no idea what they were saying.
"So she has no idea of what she did." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. "Are you gonna hide this from her all her life." Daniel was really furious now.
"If it will keep her safe, then yes I will. I will lie, steal. I'll do anything to protect my baby," my mother responded in a calm voice but there was no doubting the authority in her words. Daniel backed away as if he was afraid.
"She's not a baby anymore. She's 15 and she'll find out sooner or later. They're gonna find her. And when they do you're gonna regret not telling her the truth." Daniel retorted. His face was red now. Daniel picked up his backpack and started to leave, but I was scared. Who am I? What did I almost awaken? Why do they need to keep me safe? Who's gonna find me? Am I in danger? I'm scared. Tears filled my eyes when I cried out in pain.
"OW!" I cried out. It hurts. It really hurts. My vision blurred. My body feels like it's on fire. "Help" I screamed but no one came to help me. "Help me" I screamed again but no sound came out of my mouth. I cant see. I cant speak. I cant feel anything. I'm in total darkness. Save me…
