Sorry, sorry, sorry! For those of you still reading this, I was really
busy last week and the week before was spring break and I was in New York!
Anyway, here's the next chapter!
Who Will Give Me Wings?
Chapter 4
Strong arms gripped me and turned me towards the sky. When we hit the water, the body below me absorbed most of the shock of the impact. We floated for a while until we reached the shore. When we reached the water's edge, my "rescuer" dragged me onto land. I could tell by the way that they dragged me that they had been hurt somewhat from having hit the water.
I stood up and tried to ready my breathing. I readied my vocal chords for use, for I had never spoken while living alone. I turned, ready to rebuke my "rescuer" for taking away my eternal rest, and saw...him. He was the one that reminded me so much of my father.
"Why-"my voice cracked, "Why did you save me?"
"You didn't expect me to let you die without lifting a finger, did you?" His voice was soothing. "I did what anyone else would have done."
I was silent. I honestly hadn't thought of that. I guess that I was so young when I left civilization that I never really got the chance to understand how people thought.
"I'm sorry. I should be thanking you. It just never occurred to me that people could do something like that for someone other than themselves."
He seemed a little surprised at this.
"I think you should explain some things to me." he said, "But first, tell me your name."
"My name," I said, "is Sabrina."
Please review if you're still reading this!
