Hello, my name is Lucy Heartfilia, and I'm a bit different from other people. I was born with wings, and not the see through fairy wings. I have dark brown eagle wings, twelve feet in diameter and are strong enough to carry me through the skies.
Yes flying is fun and all but that doesn't mean my life has been sunshine and rainbows. This is the story of an outcast looking for a home.
...
On a rainy day in Las Vegas, I was born in my family's trailer. Rain was rare there so my parents took it as a blessing. My father acted as a doctor since they didn't have enough money to take my mom to a hospital. Immediately my parents knew I would have a difficult life when they saw my wings. They used what little money they had to take me to doctors and scientists, but none of them knew what was wrong with me.
When I was five, the government found out about me. They took me to a facility and ran hundreds of tests. I was kept secret from the public and my parents by telling them I died. I went through half a dozen tests a week and still bare many scares from them. I lived at that facility until I was eleven when I broke out. I flew as far away as I could, not knowing where I was going. The scientists put a tracking device in my arm, so I had to remove it myself. It hurt but I recovered fairly soon. I found my self in the Rockies of Montana where I have been living ever since. Tourists and hunters have seen me on several accounts but always ran away. They were afraid of me.
I grew a custom to my new life and have been living in a cave deep in the mountains. I sometimes steal from campers when I need clothes or blankets. Sometimes I just like to take their food. You'd think a life like this would be lonely but it's not. After all, I have the animals of the forest to keep me company. Over time, I decided to become this forest's protector from disease and hunters.
I've learned to use the areas plants to make medicine. I have no one to heal but the animals; it's more of a practice to pass the time. I also learned to recognize editable plants and poisonous plants and how to treat the consumption of them.
After living in the forest for a year I tried to come down to a small town and meet with the townspeople. But as soon as I came; I left. The townspeople saw me as a monster and nearly killed me. After that I went even deeper into the mountains and vowed never to leave again. All humans were the same. When they see something different from them, they're either afraid or intrigued. And when their intrigued they want to experiment and study, not caring about the pain inflicted on the other end of the experiment.
All humans are the same.

I awoke to the sound of birds chirping and sunlight shining in my eyes. I rolled over and forced myself up. It was early spring. I wore a long sleeved light blue dress with part of the back ripped out to make way for my wings. This was my favorite dress and my only dress. I had another one but it was torn so I discarded it. I wore no shoes because going barefoot was way better. Although I owned one pare of black boots for winter. I grabbed a black bag I stole from a woman that reached my waist. I always brought it with me in case I decided to go foraging and carried healing remedies in case I find a sick or injured animal while I'm out.
I stepped outside the cave and stretched my limbs. After hearing those oh so soothing cracks I spread out my wings. I took a few steps back then ran up to the edge of the cliff and leaped off. I was free falling for a bit but before I came to close I spread my wings and soared through the air. I picked myself up higher and higher till I was above the clouds. I always loved this; it makes me feel free.
I dived down back under the clouds and flew over the tree tops. I flew over a river and watched my reflection. The river soon turned into a waterfall and fell into a small pool before continuing on. I gently glided to the ground and set myself on thdown. Bath time!
I stripped out of my dress and underwear. I didn't wear a bra because they were just so uncomfortable.
I slipped into the water and shivered at the unexpected cold but soon relaxed. I splashed around and cleaned my body and golden blonde hair. I cleaned my feathers and dived underwater. I went for a little swim to cool myself and pass the overwhelming time.
After a good hour I got out and rinsed out my hair. I flapped my wings to dry them and drying myself in the process. I then slipped my dress back on and walked into the woods. I was lacking on golden current. It was my favorite wild berry and good for stomach aches. There was a patch of it not to far from where I was so I decided to get some more.
I soon reached the bushes where they grew and chopped of a few bushes with a pocket knife. I stole that to. After I had a few clumps I got up to leave when a sudden thunder boom sounded through the area. No. It was a gun shot!
I immediately flew in the direction where I heard the shot and found a mother doe shot in the shoulder. I saw the baby hidden in the bushes near by and knew I had to save the mom. I reached into my bag to treat the animal when I heard a man yelling.
"Hey woman! What are you doing with my ki-" The man stopped yelling and I could only assume it was because of my wings. I looked back at him and saw a young looking man with spiky pink hair and obsidian eyes. In a flash I flew up to him before he could even touch his gun and hovered over him.
"Leave." I hissed. I didn't have to repeat myself because the man soon ran away in terror. I sighed and flew back to the doe's side. I used my pocket knife and a stick to draw out the bullet. The poor doe whined in pain as I tried to calm her. I got the bullet out got out some fabaceae from my bag and applied it to her wounds. I grabbed a maple leaf and laid it on top. I walked to the river and carried water back in some bark. I opened her mouth and poured it in.
It would be dangerous to leave her alone when she was injured. So I sat by her side until night fall. I flew back to my cave and decided to go back k tomorrow to check on her.
Little did I know the same man who had shot down the doe, watched me the entire time I cared for the injured animal. This was the beginning of our story.
