Chapter 1
She ran.
Her breathing became nothing but heavy gasps. But her lips still tried their best in taking in as must oxygen as they could, but they couldn't seem to capture any.
"She went this way!" A man yelled pointing his flaming touch in her direction.
She had to keep running.
It was like this all her life.
Since she was small. When people realized what she was.
They just wanted to use her power for their own human purposes. She saw it, her ticket to freedom.
A portal.
It shimmered of red and orange which extremely helped to see it in the blues and blacks of the forest at night.
The stranger didn't say where it would take her but said it would take her away from here and to where she needed to be. She knew what he might, and smiled when realizing that the wait was finally over.
She could see her mother soon.
Something wrapped around her ankle, and immediately started pulling her back towards the group of men. She looked to see a vine was tightly wrapped around it pulling her back on her stomach.
"I got her!" A man yelled. Happy that he bruised her ankle extremely.
'No' she thought to herself. I can't let this happen not now. Not when it was almost time. She turned so her back was now being bragged across the roots and leaves and raised her hand to the man. She silently casted her spell which sent a bright, blue electrical ball right into the man's back. Causing him to scream in pain and his hold on her ankle to release.
Now free, she tried her best to stand and to get as far away as possible. Limping slowly back to the portal, she turned to see three men running and reaching for her. She drew in a sharp breath and threw herself at the portal. She didn't care where it took her as long as it was far away from here. She summoned her wings to carry her the rest of the way. The sparkle of her wings and the whipping of her tail was the last thing the men saw before her and the portal vanished.
