Ok guys this is my first story so can I get some constructive criticism. Oh and I don't own anything but the characters you have never heard of and the plot.
"Lauren!" Jordan yelled at me, and I pretend to act innocent even though I know what she is going to say "What?" I ask. "You left your feathers all over the place again come and pick them up please" She says, and I sigh.
I should probably explain, after the apocalypse all the kids were put in apartments with 'carers' aka 20 year olds and up.
In my dorm there is Jordan, who is 21 and our carer, she cooks for us and most of the time cleans as well. Max, he's 16 and treats me like a little sister. Me, Lauren, and I'm 12. My little brother, Phoenix who is 10 and Samantha who is Jordan's adopted daughter and she is 4 or 5, no-one really knows.
Our dorm is one of the quietest in the city most have 10 people in them at least. You see people can get 'adopted' by carers and then they move to that carer's dorm. Or they can just get adopted by some random person, and then they go and live with them. That's how we got Samantha.
I finally go down to pick up my feathers when Jordan tells me "You're also leaving fur on the couch again" That would be from the ears and tail I have as well. "Can I go fly now?" I ask, "As long as you go put your jacket on, it's getting cold" Jordan tells me as I run to mine and Sam's room and grab my favourite jacket.
I sneak downstairs hoping not to see Marcel. Marcel is a kid my age that constantly bullies me. After the apocalypse kids with mutations are common, most either being wolf, cat, bird or a combination. But Marcel is different he isn't an experiment. That's why he calls me a freak or some other nasty thing.
"Hey freak!" Marcel calls after me, I keep walking anyway, "Where do you think you're going, freak?" he says "None of your business" I retort and keep walking down the stairs faster than he can keep up. He stumbles after me and I take the chance to say "Walk much?" before jumping down the last five stairs and going outside. Luckily Marcel never follows me outside, but I can never quite find out why.
I walk out to the park just outside the block of dorms I live in and make sure that I'm not going to whack anyone in the face with my wings. Once I'm done I slowly extend my wings to full length and bring one of them around me, thinking about how lucky I am to be able to fly. My wings are light grey with darker grey flecks, like a piece of paper when it gets wet.
I take a running start, jump into the sky and start to flap. Getting higher with each passing second, I love the wind whipping my brown hair around, yet it still stayed away from my light green eyes. I love the height, how I can see everyone and everything but no-one can see me. It makes me feel special.
I whip my head around when I hear someone call my name, Aveline! "Hey Aveline" I call moving underneath her so we can talk. "Hello Lauren" She said back, Aveline always had been more proper and polite than me. "How've you been?" I ask her, of course we still see each other at school but I haven't really spoken to her since she moved out of my dorm.
"Good, the family I'm living with has a daughter that has wings to but she is younger than me and can't fly yet, her parents just never seem to have them time to teach her either" Aveline looks a little bit sad at this. "Why don't we teach her then, holidays just started, we have the time. Who knows it might be fun?" I say and Aveline smiles "I think that might be a good idea"
About an hour later Aveline and I land deciding to go to her house so I can meet Lola, the little girl we were going to teach how to fly. Aveline unlocked the door with the spare key from under the door mat. Lola run up to Aveline and gave her a hug. "Lola, this is my friend, Lauren. You know how you always want to come with me on flights?" Aveline asked and Lola nodded "Well soon you might be able to" Lola looked confused, so I added "We're going to teach you to fly".
Lola's little blue eyes little up and a smile spread across her face. "When can we start?"
