Prologue
Madison Wright came out of her local shop, her red hair flowing down as it swished for side to side. Freckles littered her face which was of a heart, cherubic nature. She wore grey leopard print jeans and a checked shirt. In her hand she grasped a white plastic bag full of basic groceries.
As she turned onto Almond Crescent, a shadow passed over her. She looked around and tried to discern what had caused the few seconds of shade.
Fangs POV- Half An Hour Earlier
I soared over some land, I had no idea where I was and didn't really care. The wind felt good against my wings as I soared higher and higher, almost like a bullet. Then I fell. I enjoyed the surge of adrenaline as the clouds fell past me and whooped with pure excitement. I let the wind carry me down, nearer to the ground then…WHOMP! I unfurled my wings and they then caught the wind, stopping me abruptly. I winced; my shoulders throbbed from the sudden stop.
I glided down, thirsty from the flying. A hundred feet drop can do that to a bird kid y'know! I saw this little cluster of houses to the north so I dropped further down to circle the area. It was a normal, seemingly quiet community…I could see a park and a post office. Then I saw what I was looking for: A Shop! Mmmmmnnn… I could almost taste those Skittles. I chuckled under my breath.
Suddenly, without warning, the wind died. I was unprepared for the sudden lack of help from the wind current and fell, uncontrollably down. I flared my arms everywhere and tried to steady myself and to get back into the air. I saw a girl look up and around as I passed over her. I looked back at her as I passed, momentarily forgetting my impendent doom.
Pain exploded as I crashed into some dustbins at the back of the park. My head swam as I blinked rapidly and white spots dance across my vision. I let out a groan and rolled over in the binbags. Gross. I heard footsteps as I struggled to get up. A voice rang out, sweet and light.
'Oh My God! Are you ok? Where did you come from?' I blinked and a face formed into view. It was round, kind of heart shaped with red hair, long, framing it. She had the most glorious green eyes. And do you know what the first think I said to her was?
'Hfenn-ugg.' I muttered. Then I blacked out.
Idiot.
