Circus Acts

Chapter 10

This was only the beginning.

We spread our wings and flew away, the flowers on the grave blew on the wind, a dark figure loomed over it, writing in his neatest handwriting:

This one was only a message.

I flew in silence with Iggy, my wings making barely a sound.

I had run out of tears to cry, I was tired.

My wings were pumping smoothly behind me, the wind beneath my wings made a big difference in my spirits, but not enough to make me happy. I would just collapse in a fit of tears if I had liquid tears left within me. Woohoo.

If I wasn't holding Iggy's hand, he would've thought me as dead, I was so quiet.

"Xera... What direction are we going..." Iggy stopped even trying to get me to smile about 30 minutes ago. The Flock had apparently left the beach to look for us. Yeah.

"Southwest." I sighed, longing to feel his arms around me, for him to tell me everything was okay, I would probably dream of Iggy if I fell asleep.

We had been flying for 5 hours so far. I could've gone a little farther if I ate, but I couldn't fly any longer. Iggy couldn't, either, so we found a cave in a mountain and crashed down there.

"Iggy?"

"Xera?"

"Thank you, for being there for me, for everything." I kissed him before curling up on his chest.

"...it was my pleasure." he kissed my forehead before wrapping his arms around me.

A dark figure lurked in the shadows, holding up his binocularshigh enough to see a cave in a mountain where subjects three and seven had flown in. He pulled his coat closer around himself and watched as she kissed him and curled up into him, how he kissed her on the forehead and wrapped his arms around her, it was so sweet he could barf.

Not that his robotic parts ate real food and could have the response to a stimuli to regurgitation, but no big deal.

He prepared himself for what was going to happen, he pulled his tool set out of his bag and got a sharp needle filled with a clear fluid.

Death is only the messenger.

Okay, so I haven't written in a while, I'm not sure if I can keep to my promise od one chapter a day, this story is losing my fire. I'll keep writing, but there is no specific date when new chapters come up. Sorry!

Is there anything you want to learn about Xera? Any flashbacks you think I should make? Post your ideas as reviews!

Creative criticism is gladly accepted! :D
