Kassy Pov

The sun was beaming threw the crack in my tent; I let out a small groan when the light beam hit my eyes.

I could hear Jeremy and Morgan wining something about it being too early. Jeremy was the leader of our flock; he had thick brown hair and slightly tanned skin. Morgan was kind of our personal clown he helped us threw the good and bad times he had wavy blond hair and pale skin.

I was the only girl in our flock, I have long brown hair and I am as pale as Morgan and I have light purple eyes, we all have the same eyes. Our flock is very small and we are the last of our kind.

We are Uccello's. Uccello's are very rare and powerful but we can die as easily as a human, we can fly because we have huge white wings which retract into our back but this means we can never go get x-rays if we break bones, we also have the ability to heal others but not ourselves and we are immortal. We are sleeping in tents on a cliff because we are being hunted by the Volturi. The Volturi want us because if they drink one drop of our blood every month they will not crave human blood at all. I rolled around in my sleeping bag and stood up in my small tent

"Morning guys". "Morning Kassy, I'm going to sleep in a little more" Morgan groaned. I moved around my tent which made a lot more noise than I hoped, I slowly unzipped the sleeping bag trying not to make much noise with not much success. I stepped out onto the cold damp grass with my bare feet, I shivered slightly as the cold air hit me, there was a storm coming, which meant we probably shouldn't go flying today. I took all the pegs out of my tent and rolled my tent into a tight little roll and shoved it in my bag with my 3 pairs of clothes, my shoes and my sleeping bag.

I heard a zip unzip behind me, I turned to see Jeremy crawling out of his tent "Bit cold today there must be a storm coming, Morgan get up" Jeremy banged on the side of their tent. I could hear Morgan groaning as he stumbled out of the tent. "We are walking today" Jeremy said. "Uhhhhh no I hate walking, it's so...slow" Morgan groaned.

Once the boys had packed up we began walking. "I like walking it gives us a chance to talk because up in the air we can't hear each other" I smiled, I really did love flying but walking just seems more normal. "Yeah we hardly ever talk while we're travelling, hey Kassy I don't even know how old you are?" Jeremy looked at me with that dazzling smile he has. "I'm sure I told you, I'm...340" I tried my best not to look embarrassed. "Wow you're a lot younger than me, I'm 454" Jeremy said with a grin. "Well I'm 563 so you can suck on-". We all stopped, everything became dead silent. "Vampire" Jeremy growled. "We have to take off now!" We started running; I swung my bag around so it was on my chest, and then came the strange sensation off two large feathery wings growing out of my back and threw the hole in my shirt. As soon as my wings stopped growing, I began flapping as hard as I possibly could. The ground disappeared as I ran off the cliff and glided through the air. I turned to see Jeremy and Morgan right behind me. "That was so close" Morgan almost looked scared. "We have to get as far away as possible" Jeremy yelled as we flew faster.

I lost track of time, it seemed like we were flying for hours. The wind was become stronger and much harder to fly in. Jeremy made it look easy because he was a natural born flyer and Morgan was a lot stronger and had more wing muscles."Kassy you ok back there!" Jeremy yelled but it was still almost imposable to hear. "Yeah!" I lied. The wind became stronger and I was starting to have trouble. I flapped harder trying to keep level and straight but every time I flapped harder the wind just got stronger. I looked up to see that Morgan and Jeremy were far ahead and getting further. "Jeremy!" I yelled as loud as I could but he didn't hear me "Morgan!" no one could hear me. It started raining. My wings got wet and became heavy and made it harder to fly. "JEREMY!" I screamed but when I looked up Morgan and Jeremy were gone. I had never been more scared in my life. I heard a sound coming fast up to me from behind. I turned to see a helicopter speeding towards me.

I let out a loud scream and dived down barley missing the blades of the helicopter. I was falling towards the ground at a rapid speed, I pushed my wings down trying to move up, and my body began shaking under the force it was in. I couldn't stop screaming as I fell towards the ground, I turned up slightly but it was too late. Trees were flying past me at a rapid speed, and then I heard a loud snapping sound followed by a searing pain in my right wing which was now bend in a unnatural way. Tree branches were hitting me everywhere; I could see blood all over my body. I hit the ground at a great speed and rolled along the hard ground and hit the base of a tree. I laid there for a while before everything became blurry. One thought racked my brain, I'm going to die but when I died I want to be human. I groaned and pulled my wings back into my back and then I relaxed and let the darkness engulf me.
