This is my first story, so any constructive criticism is welcomed, just none to harsh. Any way have fun reading.
chapter one
BPOV
The feathers on my back ruffled against the wind, I laughed freely as I dived towards the ground, the ground was coming closer towards me as I picked up more speed, I tucked in my wings to my back, before I pulled them out to their longest width. The wind caught against my wings slowing me down until I landed on the ground with a soft thud.
"I see you still have your coordination then Bella." I turned to the sound of the voice behind me and smiled.
"Ch-Dad, you know it's only when I'm flying, put me on the ground like now and I'll be hazard to me and everyone around." He laughed at this.
I looked at Charlie, he looked the same like always, short brown hair and the same moustache as ever, I shook my head and smiled. He had his wings tucked behind his back and under a long trench coat, the slight outline on the coat of his wings wouldn't be noticed by a human but it clearly noticeable to us. We began to make our way through the woods near Charlie's house, me tripping over the smallest out sticks and Charlie laughing at me the whole way.
Once we had reached Charlie's house the rain had picked up and because I had just come from phoenix, meant that I wasn't in the attire to be out in the weather of Forks just yet.
"So not to sound judgemental or anything but is that all you brought with you, cause I may not be the most fashionable of us but I can tell that one set of clothing isn't going to be enough if you're staying here for a couple of years."
I had to laugh at this Charlie was always one to pick up on the slightest of things and then make an accusation in the wrong way. We had sat down in the front room, Charlie had turned the television on and had changed the channel to some game of sport, whilst I was curled up on the chair in the corner, my wings were fanned out behind the chair trying to dry off from the rain .
"The rest of my stuff is being delivered, but I may need to go shopping one day, the weather isn't exactly what I thought it would be." The reply that I got from Charlie was a grunt, I looked up and saw that he was staring intently at the TV screen, I sighed and began to make my way upstairs toward my bedroom.
My room looked the same as it had many years ago, the same painted walls and cupboard, the same old rocking chair stood in the corner of the room. The curtains in the room were open and I went to go out and look out of it, whilst doing this I tucked my wings tightly into my back, I know Charlie didn't have any neighbours neat by but I couldn't risk it. If a car came past and saw me people would start to suspect something.
As I looked out of the window, the full moon gave me enough light to see down the street. A dark figure stood at the end of the street and was making its way up the street, as it got closer, the figure went to cross the road, halfway across the road a car came speeding down the road. My eyes widened as I realised what was about to happen. The figure had stopped now and turned toward the car, which didn't slow down. It all happened in a flash one minute the figure was there and then the next it was gone. I jumped up and ran down the stairs, grabbing a coat to cover my wings on the way out, I heard Charlie calling my name asking me what was wrong but I didn't stop. I ran to the car which had skidded to a stop in the middle of the road, the driver of the car had gotten out and was looking around with a confused expression on her face.
"Are you ok?"
Startled the woman turned around quickly, she was pale and looked lost and confused, her breathes were short and she seemed to be hyperventilating.
"I-I was coming down the road, when I last looked there was no one there, I had dropped something on the floor of my car so I reached down to get it and when I looked up again I was too late in seeing him and t-th-then he just disappeared at first I thought I had hit him and he was under the car or something but no he was gone, almost like he wasn't there at all."
"Hey, no its alright I saw him to, I must of blinked or something, he just disappeared."
By now I could hear the heavy thuds on the floor of Charlie running towards us, not long after that I could also hear his heavy breathing.
"w-what's wrong, w-what's go-going on?"
I turned around and smiled at Charlie. "Nothing C-Dad, this women's car swerved a bit on the road before stopping, so I came out here to see if she was all right, which she is."
"Are you sure, you seemed to be in a bit of a rush to get out, I me-"
"Dad really it's all right, the woman was just leaving right?"
I turned round to face the woman, she smiled then nodded, but not before looking between us with a confused glance, she climbed into her car and turned the engine on, just before she drove off I tapped the window of the driver's door. The woman rolled down her window a bit hesitantly, hmmm I wonder why.
"Be careful ok, don't want that to happen again."
Again the only reply that I got from her was a nod before she drove off in the direction that she was heading. I turned around and looked at Charlie, he looked uncomfortable and troubled, I began to walk back to the house, the quietness behind me told me that Charlie wasn't following me. I turned around and motioned for him to hurry up, to which he began walking, this time instead of looking up he kept his head down and hurried inside. I frowned as I followed him making sure to close the door behind me. What was making Charlie act like this he was perfectly fine until he came out and saw that women. Something wasn't right, but for now I was too tired to question him so I reminded myself to ask him in the future but for now I'm going to bed and get ready for the disaster waiting to happen tomorrow. School.
I woke up in the morning to the annoying noise coming off of my bedside table, I reached my hand up from under the covers and slammed it down on the table until I found the alarm clock and switched it off. I stretched my muscles after I had climbed out of bed, I padded my way downstairs into the kitchen, and sat the table with a glass of OJ, I looked around and it was then that I noticed the note of the fridge, men all ways thinking that the women would look at the fridge to find a note, hopping across the cold for in bare feet and having my wings drag across it as well was a task. I snatched the note of the door and ran back to the chair and table, tucking my feet under me and wrapping my wings around me.
Dear Bella
Had to leave for the station, money and keys are near the door, oh and the car outside is yours as well.
Love Dad.
I jumped out of my chair and ran for the window, there outside sitting on the drive way was a 911 black Porsche, I screamed with happiness, this has brightened my mood for school, running upstairs, I changed into some blue skinny jeans, a knitted jumper and a light trench coat to cover my wings. On the way down I put some converse on, snatched the keys and money off the table and ran to the car after locking the door.
The car purred to life beneath me, the soft seats cushioned me as I pulled out of the driveway, I turned on to the highway before going at speed down it, I did this not because I wanted to be in school faster but because I want to feel the power in the car.
The school was easy to find, most of the cars on the road were going into it, I rounded the corner into the car park of the school, it was then that I felt the stares, the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stood up, I ignored it at first but then my senses heightened, I had pulled up into a parking spot and tensed, something wasn't right, everything felt wrong.
Getting out of the car, I scanned the parking lot and saw nothing out of the ordinary, the only cars that were in the same condition as mine was a silver Volvo and red BMW, both parked at the very end of the parking lot.
After checking the parking lot once more, I made my way into the hell hole they call high school.
thanks for reading.
