I can't stop laughing.

I think this is true happiness. Or is it?

As the two childish fools bicker away the night, My gaze drifted upon the moon, that shined on us.

That big bright moon. It was so big. On earth the moon is never this big. It's so beautiful. I'm surprised it's not rainbow, or sparkly, like almost everything else.

As their bickering for a few hours, they finally went to sleep. In the middle of the woods. Who knows what could be out here?

"Oh well." I sighed. "It's not like there's anywhere else to sleep."

I walked over by Nico, and I laid down next to her. I noticed she had a blanket, as she squeezed her Panda Bear. She must've got the blanket from the freak friend of hers.

I drifted off again starring at the moon.

All of the sudden a warm cloth is placed on me. I was half sleep I couldn't tell who gave me a blanket. I just shifted to the side sleeping away.

In the middle of the woods.

8 hours later

"Wake up!"

A muffled voice yelled at me.

"Wake up silly!"

It got more clear as I blinked my eyes a few out more times.

"Wake up Neophyte!"

Nico?

I was awake. It was Nico shaking me and yelling at me, like she was crazy.

"Okay, I'm up, stop your yelling." I say as I sit up rubbing my eyes, and yawning.

"About time. You took forever." that freak yaps across from Nico.

"Quit your blabbering, freak." I said, as I began stretching.

He mumbled something else under his break, I couldn't hear. Freak. I never liked him.

"Okay Elden lead the way!" Nico cheered as he glared at her.

Elden? That sounds familiar.

Oh, now I remember.

Elden is Nico's friend that gave her the stuffed Panda bear. He gave her that? He seems so cold-hearted. I shouldn't be talking. I would call myself cold-hearted every once in a while. But I'm being nice now, so why does is matter?

"Lead the way?!"

That freak Elden yelled.

"What happened to, 'I can get home all by myself, now leave me be!' "

He said in a girly voice, trying to act like Nico.

"Oh c'mon, I was just playing! You know that silly!" Nico fake laughs.

"Yeah right! Your obviously lying." he yells.

They continued to argue over dumb stuff, so I decided to end it quickly. After my splashing myself with water, from the stream, I spoke up.

"All right you too, that's enough playing around. This is getting ridiculous."

I spoke seriously.

"Lead the way, freak."

" After what you just called me I'm not going anywhere!" That freak Elden pouted.

"You really think so?" I responded getting annoyed. "Get walking freak, or you will not have legs to walk anymore."

His eyes widened, obviously giving in.

"Whatever. Just follow me, brats." He spoke while rubbing his neck.

"YAY!" Nico cheers, and giggles shortly after.

"Were going on an adventure! Were going on an adventure!"

She sang as we were walking.

"Nico, shut up already, I'm getting an headache!"

That freak Elden exclaimed getting annoyed.

Nico just spit her tongue out at him, hugging on to her stuffed Panda bear, muttering the word 'Meanie.'

I was just looking around our surroundings. Discovering a lot of new things, I've never seen back at home.

Like, vivid colored flowers, and different colored fruits too.

We went so far, I couldn't even hear the sound of the stream anymore.

It was very still, and calm. Like it was before. No wind. Not even a soft breeze.

It's been awhile, and suddenly we were all playing I Spy.

I've never played it before, and I was still new to the game. Just like I was new to the world. But I think I got the hang of it.

"I spy with my little eye, a freak."

I said closing my eyes, ignoring the glare that freak, Elden gave me.

"Ooh! I know this one! I know this one!"

Nico shouts jumping in the air like a preschooler.

"Right there!" Nico says like answering a math equation.

She points at that freak Elden.

"Correct!" I acted surprised, as me and Nico gave each other a high five, giggling.

"Oh yeah?" The freak said, getting angry.

"I spy with my little eyes, two little brats." He blurted out snickering.

"Nahh, that one is boring." She said waving her hands at him. She looked around.

"Ooh, I got one!" She yelled as she spotted something. "Eye spy with my little eye, three Bengal tigers!" She giggled.

"What?" I blurted out confused.

We all looked to wear Nico was looking at. There was huge, Tigers right over in front of us.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm seeing a real tiger in person. All I've ever seen were photographs my mother showed me. I never expected to see real ones. They were highly viscous, I was told.

This is the main reason why I did not want to sleep in the woods.

"Nico!" That freak Elden yelled.

"Right!" Nico responded back.

What were they planning to do?

Are they using some type of code language?

I need answers, I was not planning on getting eaten by furious Bengal Tigers.

"ROOARRR!" The leader of the three tigers roared. Ready for a meal.

I panicked. What were we going to do? Run? We can't outrun three tigers! They started sprinting towards us. They're incredibly fast. I needed to think fast.

"GO!" Nico and that freak Elden shouted at the same time.

Right before my eyes, Nico sprouted violet wings from her back. Not feather wings. More like crystal wings. They were transparent. They were glowing too.

Now I had to be dreaming since when did she have wings? That freak sprouted some too, they were like Nico's, but the color of his eyes.

The next thing you know, I'm way above those tigers.

I had my eyes closed.

When I opened my eyes, and Nico was in front of me.

"That was a close one wasn't it?" Nico giggled holding her stuffed panda.

Wait, if Nico's in front of me, then wh-

"Right, we need to be more careful, we were almost lunch back there. Phew, I'm relieved." Says a voice very close to me.

I looked down. There was a hand wrapped around my waist, while my feet were dangling above trees.

"What the heck?!" I said while squirming out of that freaks grasp.

"Eh? What's wrong? Stop squirming will ya'?" he spoke getting annoyed. "It's really getting hard to hold you!" He exclaims.

"What do you mean stop squirming?!" I yelled still squirming. "Let me go!"

"Stop!"

"Let me go!" I yelled as I punched him right in his cheek.

He let go.

I started falling towards the trees.

"Neophyte!" Nico screams

"Foolish stupid girl!" That freak Elden yells as he flies after me.

I'm unconscious.

Everything is dark.

Wings...

What is it like to have them?

Everything went in slow motion.

Do I have wings?

What is it like to fly?

In a world where you can be free.

What is it like?

Don't fall.

I know I won't fall. I won't

The tree branches are already starting to scrape up my body. Like having multiple knives being thrown at you, all at once.

My back. It hurts.

I gasped in pain. What is this? It feels like needles are trying to poke out my back.

I feel wet liquid drip down my back, like blood.

Then suddenly I stop in mid-air.

Why did I stop?

Did someone catch me?

No, it couldn't be, Nico and that freak, is way above me.

I hear a fluttering sound, really close to my ear.

I turn around. It can't be!

I land on the ground, gently, as the fluttering stops. I didn't have enough time to examine those things on my back.

I fell to my knees. I couldn't see clearly.

My eyes are getting dark, I was going unconscious.

I lied down with those painful things still, poking out my back.

"Wings?" I dozed off.

"Neophyte!" Someone screamed.

"Neophyte!" Was all I heard, and , was completely unconscious.

What just happened?
