"Look, Mom!" cried the young girl, a delighted grin lighting up her beautiful face.
"What, sweetie?" called a woman across the yard, leaning on the man standing next to her.
"Daddy, come look!" the girl called again. Sighing, the parents stood and made their way across the yard to the small lake the girl stood beside.
As they neared her, she grinned wider. "Ok, stay right there!"
"I'm worried." Clary murmured to her husband. Jace just smiled.
The child turned away from her parents, breathed deeply, and launched herself off the bank and into the lake. Clary's breath hitched, but Jace instantly calmed her by placing a his hand comfortingly on the small of her back.
The girl glided over the lake's glassy surface for what seemed like several minutes, though it only could have been a fraction of a second. As soon as her small body began to fall towards the water, her parents saw her teeth flash in her trade-mark grin. She had seen it so many times before, yet it never ceased to knock the breath straight out of Clary's chest. Only inches before the girl reached the water, golden wings unfurled from her back and burst from her white summer dress. There was a breathless moment before they caught the wind and propelled her across the lake's surface.
She shot upward and then paused in mid-air for a moment before bending over backwards and arcing back down toward the lake. As she came closer to the water's surface, she brought her wings down sharply, and then halted right above the water. Her wings beat rapidly like those of a hummingbird, so quickly that only blurry edges hinted at their movement. She turned to her parents and grinned. Slowly, she began walking across the lake's surface, her feet just kissing the water and her wings holding her aloft. She began humming, then singing softly, to herself and her walk turned into a sort of dance. After a few minutes, the girl seemed to remember her parents and spun around to see them.
"See?" she said with a dazzling grin. "I'm walking on the water!"
Clary was too stunned to respond. Jace, ever the charmer, smiled and said, "Lovely, Kira."
She tucked her strawberry-blond hair behind her ears and drifted back to shore. Clary held out her arms and the eight year old jumped into them, her feet never touching the ground.
R&R for cookies :)
