Prologue:
Alix staggered through the woods. Her hair was a mess, blood stained her shirt, and her memories were fluttering around her head. She couldn't quite remember just who she was. She just remembered faces.
She remembered a strong face, with warm eyes and dark blonde hair, a twinkle to his eyes... and in an instant, he was gone.
She remembered a tan, grim faced boy, with dark hair and dark eyes. Then he was gone, too.
She knew, somehow, she had to find them. She remembered the dark haired boy... She remembered his voice. She paused and collapsed to her knees. She lifted the hem of her shirt, and stared at the sloppily stitched gash down her stomach.
She had been dead. She had been... hadn't she? The cut was from an autopsy report, or... she shuddered. Dissection? She bit her lip for a moment, then pushed her shirt down. Blood was trickling down from the cut and soaking into her shirt. Her shoulders shook, and she pushed her hands into her stomach. They came away bloody. She leaned back against a nearby tree, and felt something most queer on her back. She reached behind her and touched feathers.
Wings. That's right. I have wings. Why do I have wings? Who am I? She thought. After a moment, she had a new thought... What am I?
Alright my lovelies! So, I was flipping through my old stories and basically I found this one. It was so old that it made me cry inside, I was like twelve or thirteen or something when I wrote Shadow's Revenge. But, I really liked the idea and because I am going around and reviving some of my old stories, I figured I'd give this a go.
What this is BASICALLY supposed to be is a sequel of Shadow's Revenge. But, you really don't need to read that one. Again, I was in like... middle school when I wrote that. That was years ago. Oh lawd. Don't read it, please, or if you do just don't judge me by it.
So it's still going to be a sequel, as it was when I started this story however long ago now, but instead of making you read it I'm going to do a big summary thing so just stay with me and pretend it's the first one in a series and it's just super suspenseful and you don't know who Alix is. Yeah? That work?
