Sora the Fallen Angel
Chapter One: Breakaway
Thirteen-year-old Sora Stronghart leaned over the clouds that surrounded his home. He proped his head up with his hands, and watched the mortal humans go along with their busy lives. Sora's soft, white, feathery wings contracted behind him. The white, seemingly shiny cloth that wrapped around his waist flowed in the wind. Sora's pink, plump lips turned upwards. Even through the war between the demons and angels, Sora could still smile. His heart-shaped face was covered with tan skin, his bluer than blue eyes could rival a sapphire. His brown hair was soft and lively for it stuck out in wild directions.
"Sora! Sweetie!" A woman called out frm the lovely house behind the said boy. Sora gave one last glance to the peaceful view below him before flapping his wings and floating over to his house where his mother called him. "Sora-chan, I'm so upset! I'm glad you're turning fourteen tomorrow, but..." Sora's mother trailed off. Her hair was long and soft, it was a beutiful golden blonde color. Her sapphire eyes matched Sora's, but they held not the innocent glow Sora's had, but a sad look, worn down from war and pain. "But you'll also be old enough to enter the war..." Sora's mother, Faline, hugged her son.
Sora grinned his goofy grin at Faline. "Don't worry, Mom! I'll make it, promise!" Faline giggled at Sora's grin. Faline loved her son so much, she would die if anything happened to him. Ever since her husband died, she'd been so protective and worrisome over her only child, Sora. She smiled sweetly at Sora, who smiled back, and ushered him over to the table.
"Eat your supper, Sora-chan. I made your favorite!" Sora licked his lips as he sat down in the chair. Wow! Mom made me Fairy Delight!1 Sora thought excitedly and dug into the puffy food. The delicious, sweet taste dissolved in his mouth. Mortals may call it sugary and unhealthy because of it's sugary taste, but it was actually as healthy for you as turnips.
Fifteen-year-old Riku Sanchez stared boredly at his food. His mother had made him turnips. Again. Riku hated turnips, they were disgusting 2 ! His beutiful green eyes looked up through his silver bangs and glared at Laney, his mother. Laney just grinned mischeviously, her playful personality getting the best of her as she flicked a pea in Riku's face. Riku dodged the pea and smiled. Although his mother was a vegetarian and she made nothing but vegitable soup, salads, cooked turnips and peas and other vegetables, he could deal with her playful personality.
"Mama, I want other things than turnips and peas... I want smething good like cotton candy!" Riku looked at his mother expectantly. Laney only smiled at him. "Now, Riku, turnips and other vegetables are good for you. Cotton candy will make you fat and unhealthy. Ya dont wanna lose those sexy muscles, do ya?" Laney said with a grin. "Mama!" Riku blushed and covered his bare, muscled arms. Laney laughed before scooping up a big chunk of turnips and shoved it in her mouth. Riku gagged overdramatically and made fake choking sounds as he sunk uner the table.
Laney's and Riku's laughter flowed throughout the house.
The next morning, Faline woke her son. Sora opened his sapphires slowly and looked into his mother's eyes. Faline was holding the phone to her chest, tears were flowing out of her beautiful blue eyes. Her wings were ruffled and her hair was messy. Her cheeks were tinted red, she seemed to have been crying for a while now.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Sora asked. He sat up in bed and looked deeper into Faline's eyes. He saw pain and hurt and worry. Suddenly, he knew why she was crying. He stared at the phone. He was going to war.
"Happy fourteenth birthday, Sora-chan..." Faline said softly, with a weak smile. Her bottom lip quivered and she threw herself into Sora's arms and sobbed. Sora held his mother lovingly and stroked her hair.
"Please don't die, Sora-chan... please..." Faline sobbed pitifully. "I wont... I wont..." Sora promised. He wouldn't die. He wouldn't.
Well? Does it have potential? I'll try to make the next chappie longer, kay? But that only depends on if you review!
1 Fairy Delight: I couldn't think of a real food that Sora would love, so I made up my own.
2 Riku's Turnips: Instead of the big 'macho' personality Riku usually gets stuck with, I made him a bit of a whiner that hates vegetables. His attitude will change the more he gets to know Sora, trust me.
