Sky's Story
Prologue
Through the thick blizzard, a twelve year old girl clumsily flew. She pushed her wings down hard, letting her fly faster. She needed to fly faster. They were just a few yards behind her and they weren't leaving without her. The girl squinted to try and see the edges of the mountains but she just couldn't through the thick snow. Wisps of her thick blond hair blew into her mouth and she spat them out again. Inhaling a large dose of hair, the girl tucked in her wings and dropped suddenly. The furious cries of her chasers washed away with the wind as the girl dived down. Still unable to see the outline of the grey mountains, the girl desperately searched for somewhere safe. A house maybe? Her father arriving to save her? But she saw nothing.
Without warning, two dim lights started to shine through the weather. Letting out a sigh of relief, the girl unfurled her wings slowly then flapped towards the lights.
See that girl there? That's me.
The girl pushed her wings down hard, a determined gleam lit in her turquoise eyes.
I'll always regret going flying that day.
The lights were getting brighter as the girl flew closer to them. She was nearly there! Just a few wingspans to go.
Do you know why I'll always regret going flying that day?
With one final push, the girl spotted where the lights were shining from.
No!
The girl tucked in her wings to drop again but it was too late. Someone fired from a gun and a tranquiliser dart pierced the girl's shoulder. She let out a frightened scream and she began to lose altitude really fast. So fast, in fact, that already her eagle sight began to become blurry. She began to lose feeling in her muscles and her wings. Finally, she close her eyes and let herself fall with her wings limply folded against her spine. As they caught her with a strong net, she lost consciousness.
Because that day was the day they kidnapped me and took me to the place. The place. The name sends shivers down your spine. A glimpse of the place would haunt your dreams for years. The place you hope never to go. The school.
