Chapter One

Tobias

I'm not sure what is was, exactly, that woke me up. It could have been the soft glow that emitted from outside my window, or perhaps it was the soft tinkling sound that I can't quite explain. But I think what caused me to awake was the sudden warmth in the air, which was highly unusual for a winter night in Southern Georgia.

I thought about going back to sleep, but suddenly a deep desire, a want, a need, even, to see whatever was causing the light or the noise washed over me and wiped away any thought or possibility of falling asleep. I got up, and opened my window to investigate. Unfortunately, I could not see the source of light from that view, and I hesitated. But the feeling came back again and erased all feeling of doubt, so I ventured forth.

I crawled down the vines on the side of the house near my window, and landed silently on the ground. I crept forward, and climbed up the nearest tree to get a good glimpse of what was going on.

What I saw made me gasp, and almost fall out of the tree.

A beautiful girl, with long, thick dark hair down to her knees was standing in the shadows, surrounded in the same soft glow I had seen from my window. She had icy blue eyes, the kind that looked beautiful but deadly when she was crossed. She was wearing a floor-length white dress, with hems that seemed to be woven out of gold. I gasped when I realized she had a pair of feathered wings and a...halo? I rubbed my eyes, not being able to believe what I was seeing. Stranger still, when I opened them, her dress started morphing into a bare-shouldered crop-top and cutoff jeans, the outfit that was ever-so popular among the girls lately. Her shiny hair had also refashioned itself from voluminous waves to a very full-looking low ponytail.I sighed in disappointment as her beautiful wings and halo disappeared into a bursts of golden sparkles. She looked around, down at her phone, and then muttered something inaudible that appeared to be in frustration. She stalked off in the direction of the nearest motel, and left me wondering who this girl could possibly be. Still wondering about her, I crept back inside my room and into bed. I fell asleep with the hope that I would soon get to meet this mysterious girl.
