Chapter 1
I was at the party that we had every year and seemed to be having a great time. I say seemed because I may have looked like I was on the outside but in reality it was quite the opposite. On the inside I felt cold, wasted, dead. I was only 23 and I already felt as if I had lived my life away.
I dressed the way I really saw myself this year. Even though everyone else was dressed as something that they were not. My black-feathered wings swayed behind me as I walked, my jeans were torn and faded, and I also noticed that my black top caught the attention of male onlookers. Dark makeup covered most of my face, eyeliner tears and dark purple lips helped conceal my feelings. If someone saw the way I felt I wouldn't need to share it with them through any other means
All of the other party participants were starting to calm down. A lot of them had gone for reasons left unsaid and the others were to drunk or high to stand up straight. I was feeling a bit tipsy as I had also drank my share of booze that night. I knew that I would be regretting it in the morning; but I really didn't care.
I decided to get some fresh air and went out onto the deserted patio. The nights cool breeze felt good on my warm skin. I looked up at the stars and stared for a while. Nothing could have stopped my mind from wishing what I did. As if by magic the wish lifted from my mind to my lips.
"I wish I could be special, just to one person. I wish I could make a difference in someone's life."
Tears were freely falling down my cheeks after I grew silent. After I wiped away my unwanted tears I headed back inside to lie down. My head had started to hurt and my stomach was turning itself into knots. I casually shoved some poor unsuspecting dude off the couch and lay down. After receiving about ten minuets of verbal abuse from the jerk on the floor I shut my eyes and let myself slowly slip off to sleep.
What I didn't realize is that night when I had made my wish, somewhere in a different world, a different time, and a different place; another wish was made.
