I looked over at Jared."Brother?"
He nodded."Clarie and I are brother and sister,"
"You guys don't look alike,"
"Our mom, she actually had me. She sold Clara as an embryo. Then she found out that she could get more money if she sold her newborn, so, she did." In his eyes I could see it pained him. I wanted to ask him more, but I couldn't stand the pain it caused him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"No, it's okay. I don't want to keep any secrets from my flock/family , from you." He saw me as family? The warm feelings of joy pulsed through my veins.
"Thanks, Jared."
"I'll tell you more later, but now, we should catch up with my sister."
With a running start, we took off into the cold, night air.
We'd been flying about two and a half hours, trust me, it's exhilarating but very, very tiring. I dipped my right wing so I could fly closer to Clara.
"Did you enjoy making out with my brother?" Clara teased. Somehow, I was still able to blush at eight thousand feet. "It's okay, you don't need to answer that, because, honestly, I don't want to know," she giggled. Her expression changed, to something along the lines of, "What the heck?!" when she looked over at my face.
"What is it?" I asked, worried.
"Your eyes! Kirsten it's so cool! Your eyes look like cats eyes! The pupils are slits and your outer eyes are green!
Jared flew over to us to see what was going on. "What 's wrong with Kirsten?"
"Nothing. Her eyes are like cats! It's so cool. Kirsten, show him."
I turned to Jared. "Do I look like a creeper?"
"No, their actually quite pretty. Did anything in your vision change?"
"Uh…" I trailed off. I looked around and things were all green. I saw a small town; lots of things were lit up. "Can you guys see that town down there?" I asked. They shook their heads no. "Then, I think I have night vision."
"That's sooo cool Kirsten!" Clara exclaimed. "You have a skill!"
"Yeah, guess I do." I agreed.
"Okay, so where's this town you saw?" asked Jared.
"Oh! Yeah! Um, down- er- follow me." I let the wind seep through my wings and we sank to the ground in a semi- orderly fashion, all of us landing on the balls of our feet. I looked up and there it was a camp store. "Well that's convenient." I said.
