Chapter 3
Ahead of me, the white mist of clouds cover the view of what I suspect to be half the earth. I have been flying for an hour or so and estimated to be only 5 minutes away. Yet, I still see… wait for it…. nothing.
Minutes go past with out any sight of anything besides the clouds around me. I look in every direction I can and wonder if I'm flying in circles. It wouldn't be that hard, after all, I don't even know where I am.
It's been 10 minutes. The fear of the absence of land makes my thoughts blurred. I must be over the land by now!
I slowly hover lower. All around me is wet and white. I continue to lower myself, trying to find the brown land beneath. Lower and lower until …. THUMP!
I let out a gasp as pain shot up through my body. Beneath me, I felt the wet, cold surface of what I thought to be Antarctica. Around me was nothing but white.
The map lay beneath me and threatened to fly away in the breeze as I stood up. I checked myself over. There was minimal bruising and I have lost a few feathers, but, part from that, I was alive and kicking. I looked at picture of Antarctica on the map. Sure it's white but who would have thought that it was actually white?
I decided that the wind was too strong to fly, and started to walk. I walked a small amount of time before I reached an ice cave. The walls of the cave were unwilling to give any relief from the cold. I set the map on the ground and gave it a proper look. Nothing. Nothing to tell me where I landed.
With nothing else to do, I decide to make myself at home. Now that I'm here, I thought as I snuggled into a heap on the ground, what now?
I fell asleep, thinking about that question. As always, I didn't have a good sleep because I'm on the verge of sleep and being awake. Half of me was saying to stay on guard. This was a strange place and I new the slightest sound would wake me up.
The wind continued to blow and it was still freezing cold. I was about to give up on sleeping when I heard footsteps out sided.
With out making any noise, I moved closer to the mouth of the cave and searched for the intruder. The wind made it almost impossible for me to see the person, but I could hear their loud sobs. I waited for the surprise attack, but nothing came. Slowly, the noises started to fade and were replaced with human voices.
"ELLY?" About 5 or 6 voices called the same name over and over again.
I thought about the sobbing noises. That must be who their looking for! (Just because I'm slow at figuring these things out doesn't mean I stupid) maybe she's just like me; on the run from everyone, avoiding danger and death. Hope ran rose inside me and options were finally starting to run through my head. I may actually get a friend!
I was so caught-up in my fantasy world that I didn't realize that I was talking aloud. 3 dark figures stood a few metres but were still too close for comfort. At this point in training at the 'school', we were given 2 options.
Go out there and kick their butts.
Or
Bravely and heroically… run away.
I'm no coward, but I'm still sore from my less graceful landing earlier. So my best option was option 2.
I moved further back into the cave for a big run up, ready to fly. The noise of my large wings banging into everything brought unwanted attention, and soon the dark figures were walking in my direction (nosey-parkers). I sprinted for the entrance and leaped into the air. Unfortunately the humans saw me, and it didn't take long for them to realise I was… different. (da). Bullets flew past me as I dodged them and tried to gather more speed. I travelled towards where the girl, Elly, travelled.
The girl who will change EVERYTHING…
Hope you liked the cliff hanger there Please keep reading and please review.
